Their checkout is notoriously picky about exclusions. If you've got Vera Bradley, Jellycat, or clearance items in your cart, standard codes bounce immediately. Make sure to paste it into the Promo Code box without extra spaces. If that fails, just grab a fresh 10% welcome coupon using an incognito window.

Their site runs frequent sales, but honestly, promo codes almost always exclude the good stuff like Jellycat or Vera Bradley at checkout. Your best bet is signing up for their email list for the 10% off code, or just hitting their sale tab directly. Also, watch shipping fees unless you hit their $75 free threshold.

Once you hit submit on thepaperstore.com, their backend locks it almost instantly. Calling customer service right away is worth a shot, but usually it still ships. Don't bother paying return shipping by mail. Just wait until the box arrives and return it to a local store with your packing slip for a full refund.

Checkout on thepaperstore.com takes all the standard cards like Visa and Amex, plus PayPal and store gift cards. Heads up though: the site only allows one promo code per order. If you want to stack savings, apply your loyalty reward vouchers alongside a gift card at checkout instead.
