He sold door-to-door and also worked for a national lighting distributor before deciding to start his own business in a back bedroom of his home. He used an old door on two sawhorses as his first desk. This became 1000Bulbs. In 1995 he put his small business on the web, and 1000Bulbs was born. The site now has nearly 100 employees and carries thousands of items from simple household bulbs to specialty products. It is known for its customer service. Most people buy an ink jet printer because they're a great bargain -- low cost and relatively high print quality. But when it comes time to replace the cartridges, they're hit with a relevation: ink is expensive. It's the old "cheap razors, expensive blades" strategy. By one estimate a printer cartridge that sells for $30 costs just $3.50 to make, although retail prices tend to be dropping as the technology improves. That's why many people turn to recycled cartridges, or generics. Remanufactured cartridges are those made by the original printer manufacturer that are cleaned and refilled. 123Inkjets stocks recycled cartridges that work with Apollo, Apple, Brother, Canon, Compaq, Dell, Epson, Hewlett Packard (HP), Lexmark, Pitney Bowes, Xerox and dozens of other brands of printers (see the site for a list). If you'd rather purchase original manufacturer cartridges, browse the list of those available at Office Depot. One thing to consider is the cost per page printed. One study commissioned by Hewlett Packard found that while its cartridges have a 2 percent failure rate, 70 percent of recycled cartridges did not last as long as promised. Consumer Reports found much the same thing. The manufacturers say this is because they design the strip of silicon on the cartridges that has the microscopic ink nozzles to last only as long it takes to empty the cartridge of ink. In other words, the cartridges for personal printers are supposed to be thrown away after one use. Cartridge refillers say this is bunk, that you can refill cartridges as many as seven times. And it does seem to work for many people -- there are $6.5 billion worth of refilled cartridge sales each year. If you using your printer for everyday printing, you should be fine with refilled cartridges and save 50 percent at the same time. If you are printing photos on greeting cards, brochures or family photos on expensive photo paper, it's probably best to go with an original manufacturer's cartridge. 4Checks is a search engine that allows you to browse in one place more than 800 designs from top manufacturers of personal, business, payroll and computer checks.

Founded in 1966 by Richard Schulze, Best Buy was originally known as Sound of Music. After expanding into video in the early 1980s, Schulze changed the name to Best Buy. In 1989 he introduced a novel concept to retailing -- every in stock was put on the sales floor (rather than just a display model) and sold by specialists who were paid salaries rather than commissions. The online site, launched in 2000, is by far the largest of Best Buy's 550 retail outlets. It carries computers, printers, software, CDs, DVDs, video games, toys, televisions, DVD players, MP3 players, home theater systems, digital cameras, appliances, vacuums, heaters, cell phones and office products and furniture. Shop by category, keyword or brand. Besides its low prices, Best Buy's site is known for its free guides, such as its HDTV Information Center and Guide to Speakers. Don't miss the weekly specials, outlet store and Wednesday "hot deals." Returns: You can return items purchased online to any Best Buy store or by mail. All original packing materials, manuals and accessories must be included to avoid fees. Allow up to 21 days for processing; refunds will be credited only to the purchasing credit card. See site for information on where to send the product if you return it by mail (phone 888-237-8289 for instructions).
If the product was damaged, defective or sent in error, Best Buy will pay return shipping. Sales Tax: All states that charge tax. Shipping: Shipping charges are calculated during checkout. To avoid them, select "store pickup." Most products will be waiting for you at the nearest Best Buy store within about an hour. However, for security reasons, only the person who made the online purchase can pick the item up. There is no extra shipping fee to Alaska and Hawaii for standard service.

Blair was founded in 1910 as New Process Company by John L. Blair, Sr.. He initially sold black raincoats to ministers and funeral directors through the mail with credit extended for a "week's free trial." Today Blair is the ninth largest consumer apparel cataloger in the U.S., with annual sales of more than $580 million. Blinds.com sells a variety of brand-name blinds, including Hunter Douglas, Levolor, Graber, Blinds.com, Prestige, Cartwright, Bali, Phifer and many more, including private-label (generic) products. The site is full of information about how to properly measure your windows before you order, which can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. A good place to start is the "Guide to Blinds," which explains the benefits of various types (fauxwood, wood, honeycomb, aluminum, PVC, roller shades, etc.). Each day Blinds.com compares its prices on a particular product to those at competitors such as Lowe's, Home Depot and Costco, to give you an idea of the savings. It also provides free samples and telephone support to help you measure correctly or get the blinds up, although it provides printed instructions with each order and promises that all of its products are easy to install. One of the first things you need to know is whether you have an inside or outside mount. The site explains, "An inside mount is when the blind, shade, or shutter fits inside of the window opening. Mounting as an inside mount generally has a cleaner, neater look. An outside mount can be used if there isn't enough depth to mount the product inside the opening. Sliding glass doors and wood cased shallow windows are popular outside mount choices." All hardware is provided with the possible exception of screws. You can only change or cancel an order during the first 24 hours, and only as long as it has not gone into production. If that is the case, there is a 10 percent fee. Returns: Because the blinds it sells are custom-made to your measurements, Blinds.com does not accept returns. That's why it's doubly important to make sure all of your window measurements are accurate. Each product page has instructions on how to measure. Measure every window twice because, as the site notes, "sometimes two or three windows in the same room can look identical but could actually be off by as much as three-quarters of an inch." If Blinds.com makes an error, it will repair or remake the blind at no cost. If it is a customer mistake, Blinds.com will have it altered or remade at a discount. Sales Tax: Texas. Shipping: Free on blinds that are less than 94 inches long shipped to addresses in the continental U.S. Shipping is $70 per shipment per manufacturer for blinds over 90 inches long. Blinds.com does ship outside the continental U.S., but you need to phone for rates.
