These are not pre-sharpened, as advertised. The biggest drawback is the flimsiness / softness of the lead. The tips break very easily, making it so you have to constantly sharpen the pencils. It also means they wear down much quicker than most other pencils. I remember this brand from way back and they used to be high-quality so we didn't mind paying for pencils that last. These pencils are not worth the money. It almost seems like they're not genuine. = (

Teachers are asking for this specific brand of pencils at our school. I hope its because they will last all year! Only complaint i have is why are the presharpend ones more expensive?? Technically I'm getting less pencil...so shouldn't that qualify for a price decrease?? Anyways, this is the best price you will find these for.

These pencils are "POOP-WORTHLESS---DO NOT BUY"! Sharpen them, the lead breaks off or isn't there. I was able to use three pencils one time, the rest of the pencil sharpened away with no lead available. Last Ticonderoga pencils I buy from WalMart. Guess my friends in the office were correct, you get what you pay for!!!!! VERY, VERY DISSATISIFIED WITH THIS ORDER!!!!

Great price for these pencils. Only pencils we use in our Kindergarten class and to buy a pack 12 locally is close to $6, so to get this price on a box of 96 is a steal.. And the free shipping to Alaska is great, although I believe they are shipped from here, as our Sam’s Cub building is now a warehouse/distribution center..

Quality pencils and the only kind I can recommend. I use to wonder why teachers would ask for Ticonderoga by name. Now I know all other pencils are difficult to sharpen and break often interrupting learning. Ticonderoga are worth the extra money to have a quality, stress-free writing instrument.

I heard good things about these so ordered them when I saw a good deal on the 96 ct.. but the pencils were bad.. almost similar to the cheap store brands.. maybe got a bad box or they were on deal because they were no good.. I would not buy them again..

These are good pencils, and a great value!

Ticonderoga pencils are really the best. This was the perfect size for back to school.

The pencils are not sharpened even though the title of the item says they are pre-sharpened.

Awesome deal!
