Staples

Inconvenient since they closed. Wasn’t a fan of Office Depot/​Officemax but this Staples started to decline in quality care and customer service around 2008. Nothing new, expensive, and it was just all window shopping for office supplies. The only thing I utilized was the recycling of the ink cartridges but it’s not a big return either.
Someone please tell me where I can buy cheaper ink for Canon!

This Staples is closed.

I didn’t usually buy supplies at this location, but this place was alway my go-​to for recycling toner/​ink cartridges since it’s super close to my home. But no longer!!! This location has closed!!!
Alhambrians who need an office supply store, can go to Office Depot, which is closer to Atlantic. If you’re a Staples fan and have a rewards card for staples, you could travel down to Monterey Park down Atlantic (or simply order online). For those who could care less about their supplies… there’s always Daiso which sells cheap supplies for about $ 1.50.
I wonder what they’re going to build there… a Daiso perhaps? =)

Drove by this place millions of times but never shop there until last sunday…
Need to print some big event seating charts (my friend just found out the hotel she is holding the event do not provide such chart, like 3 hours prior to the event) and the near by Fexex/​Kinkos are all closed on Sundays.
Unilocaled this Staples store is on my way to the venue and much closer than other stores in Pasadena. When first walked in, I was a bit of nervous about the waiting line at printing dept. there were at least 6 people waiting with 1 staff working and running. The other lady in line asked another staff on how to use the self-​print station but was told they only schedule 1 person in the printing dept.
I was worried as time goes by, thankfully, the people in front of me either don’t have the right files or can’t print a map page (copy right issue) so I only wait about 10 minutes. The staff was really friendly and helpful, she showed me a few different size of large print paper and helped decide on the size to print.
The print quality was good, service was good. overall, THAT WAS EASY :)

PRINT CENTER REVIEW
This is review is truthfully not coming from a place of hate or anger. Being 100% honest, Staples printing center is always my last resort for prints especially large prints. Every time I do result in having to come here, I am always reminded why I never come here as a first choice.
My most recent incident:
(this morning)
I called to make sure that it wasn’t too busy and asked how long the process would be for 2 large prints in Black & White. All seemed well so I came in to deliver the files for print. I had the files as jpegs. I am a graphic designer with sufficient knowledge on file types and how they work with printers for that matter. As soon as I got there, the guy told me they had to be pdf. He clearly stated that the file would not be printed correctly if it was in JPEG form. So he printed anyways. The print was awful as it could’ve been. I’ll attach a photo. So he proceeds to convert he file to PDF and it still prints shitty. I then convert the file myself on my own MacBook to PDF because he said thats what I needed to do for it to print nice. It still printed shitty and he blamed it on it being because I owned a MacBook. THIS IS WHERE I LOL.
I could easily run the entire staples printing center myself. These people are only trained to hit File — Print. That’s all folks.

If u ganna charge for uses of computer… Make sure ur computer runs like how it should. It was soooo slow i paid for nothing. They charge by minute.
Never thought id be disappointed going to staples… The scissors were rough so we asked for another one… They sell scissors and they couldnt find me one.
Please improve conditions.

give them one star because i need to write reviews to them. Called on Sunday was asking if they can do price match to Target. They said Yes but didnt let me use their STAPLES COUPON .On their website, they dont have any polices for COUPON.

Not a bad store. The workers were fairly helpful. lots of floor space. Unfortunately, dIdn’t carry what I was looking for. Lots of parking space. Convenient to go to neighboring restaurants to wait for things to be printed.

Staff and store seem open and friendly. Lots to choose from on whatever office supply you may need. It’s great if you need something immediately and don’t want to wait for amazon or if you need to see something in person rather then buying it offline.

I was here on March 3, 2014 at around 3:30 P.M. and needed a particular type of envelopes, but there happened to be no more on display. I asked one of the staff members for help, and I received excellent assistance from him. [+4 stars] :)
After, I needed to print something very important out. However, I have never been to any printing or copying section at any Staples’ location. I waited in line patiently until it was my turn. Since the station was opened to everyone, it’s obvious that I wouldn’t get in line if I didn’t need any help. When it was finally my turn, the two staff members [females] did greet me. I asked for help, but one of them just spoke to me as if her words were in a marathon race. I did understand half of what she was saying, but she said the rest too quickly. After she finished speaking, I have not taken off yet. However, she had already turned to her left to chit-​chat with the other employee and totally ignored my presence. I ended up not using the machines because I did not want to damage anything since I have never operated any of those machines. So… BOO! [-3 stars]

I recently had my printing service here, and to be honest, the service can be slow.
There are too many people asking for help, but too little employees working.
There were two employees helping me, Janet and Amy. They were both friendly and so helpful. Price is decent and I would definitely go back to get prints here!

I came here for work to print a colored paper and have it laminated the assistant store manager mike was on the phone for over 10 minutes talking about how a costumer had two coupons that didn’t work and they offered him to use rewards and coupon but not both coupons. Since I figure he was on the phone with someone that works with staples he should of placed them on hold telling them he has a costumer but instead he had me waiting. Even after I told him I had to leave for work. I work with costumer service and this isn’t servicing your costumers

Print and ship area is slow and inefficient. The workers here move like sloths and couldn’t help me. My reviews are generally good and positive but this place is something else. We waited in line for over thirty minutes with no help and then they couldn’t find my file. At the end didn’t even get my prints and was a complete waste of time. Never again.

I personally love Staples over than other office supply stores because it is close to home and they always have everything that I need. I’ve got to admit that I am a little addicted to office supplies. I love colors! Every time I get a coupon, I would go grab some new colored pens, markers, sharpies, etc!
This place is super clean and always in stock with things that I need. The deals here are great compared to other stores. Their service is always up the ladder. Workers are constantly smiling and asking if you need help. When you ask them for help, they are right on it! Staples honestly been around for years and I till now, I still love this place!

Been coming here for years to do the following:
1. Paper.
2. Office supplies.
3. Stationary for home
4. Business cards printing
5. Flyers and brochure printing
They get the job done. Its a good place to handle your stationary needs.

Large location, helpful staff, lots of parking overall A-​OK!

This Staples location is located in the Alhambra Valley Shopping Center, right next door to Big 5. It’s close to impossible to miss those HUGE Staples letters.
I personally can’t complain to much about this location, nor the staff here. Every time I’ve shopped here, the staff has always been rather friendly and helpful. The inventory has always been fairly plentiful and has always been my go to location for any sorts of office supplies. However, I can NEVER EVER recommend anyone to ever purchase any electronics from Staples. It’s always WAY overpriced. (GO TO FRYS ELECTRONICS).
My only and biggest complaint here is the parking lot. The parking lot is fairly large, however its also a pretty big plaza. Shopping can be a bit tricky on busy weekends, and you may run into some trouble with parking.

Office supplies… Office supplies everywhere. They got folders and markers and chairs and desks and printers and mouses and whiteboard. Lots of office supplies, but sadly, one of the smaller Staples location. If you’re looking for a specific brand and item, most likely, they won’t have it here. This Staples never carry the popular items or brand and each item they do carry, there’s only a few in stock. But, parking here is easy. Staples is located on the dead side of the plaza. There’s only 2 cashiers, so sometimes you’ll be waiting in line for a while just for that pack of index cards you need to finish up your project. Don’t expect great customer service. It’s hard to actually track down workers here. But, for the simple office supplies, here is where to go.

Your average Staples with usual supplies. Everything here is pretty pricy so only come to pick up last minute items.
Copy service: better off at FedEx Office.
Service could use some help, it seems they are too busy for the customers.
Parking is ok as it is near Big 5.
The only thing going for it is the location.

This place is slightly more organized than the Pasadena Staples, but the service is just as bad here. It was so crowded the weekend I went and the assistant manager seemed so flustered, but luckily he stayed with us and helped us order a chair online. He was the only professional person there! haha.
When I went to he back to look at chairs, two employees were just relaxing on the office chairs (were they employees? They had green polos.) And the person working there was just doing his business and never approached me to see if we needed help with anything. Later I saw him at the cash register answering phones while he was helping a customer check items out. The phone kept ringing and ringing, why don’t they have a separate customer service person?
This is an okay place. Definitely preferred to the Pasadena one!
