It’s simple economics Mike: staples cost less than 0.0628p each whereas paperclips cost over double that.
If you insist on paperclips you could maybe offer to send back the paperclips to the original sender in order that they might use them again and recoup their original investment. By the time you’ve returned the paperclip to them twice they would actually have saved money over using staples. If you were to present this to your customers as an actual saving I’m sure they’d see sense and use paperclips: it’s the only logical way forward.
