Copy World

Great place for doing your own photocopying on the store’s machines. It’s almost certainly the least expensive in the East Bay. And I have the store bind my photocopies in nice folders. I cannot speak about the other work they do (posters, etc.). Staff is always friendly and helpful. And there is free parking on the side. I have been going there for years.

Very often i make fliers and photocopy from this place. Great place and best employee specially Sharjeel, who helped me with photocopy and binding materials.

This is the worst place I have ever been. The worst service ever! They have no respect to their customers and their customer service is badly poor! I don’t recommend anyone to go to this place. It has to be shut down.

So glad I ignored the reviews. Hands down the best price and customer service in Berkeley. It’s a bit away from campus, but well worth it. No one has lower prices for what I need. Even campus charges more for printing!

This is really bad place to go. They have no idea of what to do. They just asked my 9 months pregnant lady to move around to take her pictures, instead of doing his job right. Also, the guy just made fun of me instead helping!
I would never come to this place!

I honestly cannot comment on the quality of work this business produces. However, I will comment on their professionalism and the quality of customer service they provide. I was attempting to have 150 copies of my grandmother’s obituary printed from a PDF file I had on a thumb drive.
I discussed with Jay what I needed and he advised me to bring my thumb drive with the PDF file before 5pm AND to send the file to him via email attachment, which would allow him to print a proof so that I can review and approve it. I sent the email and called Jay to let him know I was on my way. Jay stated he was leaving for the day, but Ali would assist me. Red flag #1! This is not what we discussed earlier, but time was an issue and because Jay quoted a 24 hour turn around IF I got the file to them by 5pm, I decided to move forward.
I asked for Ali upon my arrival and someone just pointed in his directions. I then walked over and asked if he was Ali and he just nodded his head yes. I went on to explain my discussion with Jay and asked if he received the email. He said «no.» I didn’t understand, because Jay stated they did, in fact, receive it. After stating that to Ali, he checked a second time and said he had it. Red flag #2!
He then stated the file was the wrong size, but I explained it was larger to avoid a white border around the edges — which is called a «bleed». Long story short, he didn’t understand what I was talking about and said he couldn’t accept my order because of the size and even refused to print a simple test copy. Ali even had the audacity to tell me to come back tomorrow to speak with Jay. What, then, is his purpose? Red flag #3.
I just should have ran out of there at point, but because I was pressed for time and truly needed to have the document printed as soon as possible so that I can take care of all the things necessary to arrange the memorial service, I decided to try again the next morning in hopes of working with Jay.
I arrived at 9am, another rude employee — a woman who kept answering the phone and talking to other customers and her co-​workers while assisting me finally informed me that Jay will not be in until 10:30am. Oh my goodness, I think it is safe to stop the story here because the craziness continued. Basically my experience ended with the same rude woman telling me to «go to someone else.» Wow!
In addition to getting the run around, I had the rudest service I’ve experienced in a very long while. Jay was unreliable, Ali was rude and condescending, and the nameless woman was rude and dismissive. Turns out, this is a family business; Ali is the manager’s brother! They did not, and will NEVER get my business. I went to another company in the same area and they not only greeted me professionally, they knew about «bleeds», and completed the job the same day and for less!
BEWARE COPY WORLD!

I make a lot of flyers and posters. You can order your posters online, but if you go there, you most likely can get them done and on the spot. The posters are a thicker quality than you get anywhere else, and great quality.
They had an issue with the onlinr site, but has since been fixed, and so there is no reason to go anywhere else. Seriously, prices are better and turnaround times are faster than PS Print, or any other printer. Even if you go online, you won’t get better prices, and damn sure won’t get better quality.
If you print large amounts of anything, you must not like money, quality, or fast delivery if you decide to go anywhere else. Not playing, just do the simple research and you will see!

Great location, staff, real time help by phone, good suggestions. Send your file artwork and printable stuff to
. Takes credit card and works with local business well.

I needed to make copies in a fast pace. They actually were very great with explaining all the details to operate everything. No need to put a credit card on file to start browsing and looking up documents. Just go in, ask go a computer and they handle all the payments after when your ready to go. I’d say it was a great use of my team getting my project out and presentable to my peers.

The staff at CopyWorld is very helpful and their prices for postcard size cards in color both sides is very reasonable: I just ordered 500 cards for only $ 39 for my choir performance announcements. If you order on line, the cost is lower than if you go into the store. They are great about printing from a USB drive as well. Color copies are excellent. Black and white copies are only 2.5 a page as opposed to my local copy place which is up to 8 cents a page. This store is very convenient to use.

Costs $ 20 to make color copies… for that amount I should just save up to buy a color printer of my own (note to self: save up for color printer.) You don’t get a discount if you use double-​sided pages, which is disappointing. They don’t have hole punchers or any other «amenities» you’d get at larger copy centers, and customer service varies depending on the day. They usually seem overwhelmed bordering on annoyed. There’s an impressive sign out front that seems to sum up the general attitude: «Don’t even ask to use the bathroom!» With an exclamation point!
When I needed help figuring out how to make my copies darker, one of the women Behind The Desk took pity on me and punched in the appropriate codes. Voila, $ 20 copies! A convenient place to go if you don’t have the energy to drive to Office Max in Emeryville.

Supreme service! Courteous, efficient, friendly staff. Best place around to get copy work and special projects handled. This family owned business beats Fedex/Kinko’s by a long shot!

I wish I could offer a 6^th star. It’s unusual enough to find people who value prospective clients, but to find them in the copy business truly was great.
Basic story … Rush job, several thousand color copies. 8:30pm for a job needed by lunch the next day (today). Work on behalf of a non-​profit (me being donor).
Not only did they stay open late to do the job, but they did the work for 55% less than the «big guys» … Oh, and the big guys (I’m talking to you FedEx Kinkos) couldn’t care less about doing the job — regardless of timing … «you’ll use up all of the paper we have on-​hand» OMG.
So I did the job with them (note — $ 700+ job and another $ 700 today for the 2^nd half). And it was perfect.
And, FWIW, the part of University they call home has numerous folks who wander in. So taking shots at their restroom sigh … really?
NET: Excellent work, excellent price and way above and beyond customer service. I’m a fan.

My fiancé and I have been coming here for the last 8 years for all of our copying and printing needs. We have gone from printing party flyers and college projects, to wedding menus. The staff here is always friendly and helpful. As long as we live in the Bay Area, we will always come here!

This review is about my experience using one of their PCs.
~~~
I love this place! I’m so glad I know it exists.
In the last few years, since that Korean-​owned cyber café on Telegraph closed down, I haven’t been able to find any affordable place to rent a computer. It really sucks when your laser printer runs out of toner, you can’t afford to buy a new cartridge, you can’t afford to go use Kinko’s computers, but you need to print out something important. But all that’s changed now that I know about Copy World!
For about $ 5, I used one of their PCs for about 40 minutes, printed about 10 B/​W pages, made 10 B/​W copies, and bought 3 envelopes. All this would have cost at least $ 20 at Kinko’s.
Also, the guys at the counter were efficient and nice. When I approached the counter, they dropped everything to help me, and there was no hint of attitude like you usually get at the aforementioned places.
This will be my go-​to place for when I need to rent a computer. Yay, Copy World!

They have a sign that says, «No restroom please. Do not ask.»
That should tell you what their attitude towards customer is. If they really care about their customer service, they should rewrite the sign. «Sorry, No restroom» would be just fine.
Other than that, I really haven’t had a bad experience there. I also have not had any serious project. I have used their fax service and scanning service. I appreciate their inexpensive service.
Customer service of the clerk is not wonderful, and it’s not horrible.

Affordable prices, great quality, timely service, super friendly staff. I have been using copyworld from past year and a satisfied customer. I would definitely recommend copyworld to anyone who is looking for affordable yet great quality printing service.

I called this place in regard to an issue I am having and spoke with the rudest woman ever. Now, what makes you think I want to do any business here? I am canceling my order and member sign in and will not ever look back. Thanks for nothing and for being so snotty. You can have it back.

This place does not allow printing from USB. You have to rent a computer to print. I really dislike such pay structure.

Copy World makes the order process seamless and quick. From the moment I am done creating my files, they download my transfer files from a cloud and begin the order. Love that they have a one day turn around option too for last minute emergency printing requests. Haqqan and Ali are great and I never have a problem. Their prices are fairly competitive as well.
