For the second time in a row, what was inside a package did not match the label on the package:

1st time (a month or so ago)  
What the label said: 30 lables / page lables  
what was inside: 6 labels / page labels

2nd time (today)  
What the label said: Black ink cartridge  
What was inside: a cartridge that was labled black but contained yellow (or orange, or red - but most definitely not black) ink.

Both times they were apologetic and cheerfully exchanged my item. But it really shouldn’t happen. If I go to Office Max again, I will open the package in the parking lot, and not at home.
