Copycom

Random place. Three computers you can print from. Printed 2 pages, no color, and paid $ 4. The service was unnoticable — the guy just pointed at the computer. Remember to delete your documents from the computer if you’e downloading from an email etc.

Do not go here!!! The guy who works in the mornings is completely unhinged. There are bad customer service experiences and then there are scary ones. This one was the later. I needed a bunch of FedEx slips for some packages I was planning to ship from there. The guy told me he could give me 5 so I went out of my way to go get them. When I got there this shady guy told me I could only have 3!!! Not enough and not what he told me. He told me to go all the way to the fedex office in midtown and was totally rude. He also to me I must have misunderstood him on the phone. When I dared to disagree with him he told me to give him the slips back and «get out». I told him I wasn’t going to give them back because I obviously need them and asked who the manager was. He literally came running at me from behind the counter screaming at me to «get the f%*k out of the store». I was actually scared he was going to attack me. I have never in my life been treated like this and for no reason. This cannot be a legitimate business. I called back to speak to a manager. He told me I could speak to him. When I insisted on speaking to a manager he hung up. Turns out he’s a coward as well as crazy.

Worst service ever!
After the guy scanned my document (12pages), he asked me 12 $ for that!
And he was on the phone the whole time I was there, so rude!

I have been comparing prices and is not expensive since I used their computer, and in other places you will have to pay $ 3 just for that. But still the salesman was rude ;(

Worst experience I have ever had with customer service. The man told me to print off his computer even though I said I could do it with my phone. When it did not work and load, I said I was going to go home and try sending it again. He proceeded to scream in my face that I owed him 3 dollars for my computer time and forbade me to leave. I said he didn’t tell me if I used the computer but didn’t print, and that he had basically forced me to print off it when I wanted to do it on my phone. Literally left crying after he finally gave up screaming at me. NEVER AGAIN. There is no excuse for grown men to yell at customers while running a business for a miscommunication. Inexcusable. Go to Fedex further down 7^th avenue.

I am also a Copy Com loyalist. They are sweethearts. They do passport photos too. You can rent a box and have your packages delivered here if you don’t have a doorman.

I’ve been going to this local, independently owned copy shop for 13 years and, being a writer, have plenty to copy. Copy Com seems to be a family business– it feels like one in the best sense: the guys who run it are courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, careful and friendly. If you’re in a hurry, they take on your urgency as their own. Their prices are at least competitive with the big chain copy stores or better. And in 13 years they’ve never made a mistake even once with my work which is amazing considering that multiple copies of 100 page jobs are usually missing a page here and there. This place is a gem.

After going to 3 Staples in this city, I cried Unilocal and found myself at Copy Com. These guys are fantastic, they helped me out when I was on a major time crunch … I did a lot of printing, binding, CD burning, and shipping and they gave me a great deal — sorry Staples, you lost my business!

Went to Copy Com last night. It’s a pretty dingy place, but they did a good job, it didn’t take long, and I’ll go at least a couple more times before trying somewhere new. They rent mailboxes, have several computer terminals you can use to go online ($ 3 for 20 minutes, $ 7 for an hour), they sell a small assortment of office and mailing supplies, they pack and ship, and they have a couple of copy machines in the back that they use to do small print jobs for customers.
I did 190 copies of a four-​page, standard-​sized zine. First two pages on color 20-​pound stock of their choosing — «Whatever you have a lot of,» I said — and the last two on standard white. Doing half color and half white, they couldn’t collate or staple. Had I done all black and white, they could collate and staple — for free! (I might do this every few times) — and the job would have cost $ 10 less or so. Not sure what it would have cost all color, but I assume they’d collate and staple for free. In the end, I ended up paying about eight cents a copy.
They didn’t have any boxes to put my job in, so I took the uncollated copies home in a paper bag inside a plastic bag. Collated and stapled myself while watching Bubblegum Crisis on the couch at home so I had something new for tonight’s reading at Bluestockings.
A low-​key copy shop. You can’t do your own copies, but their prices seem reasonable, the guy working the counter was helpful, and it took 16 minutes from entrance to exit. I’ll do my next couple of projects there to see if things are consistent. For me, their primary appeal is that they’re independent, and that they’ve been in business since 1982. Might be worth supporting!
