FedEx Office Print & Ship Center

Their pricing strategy is not designed to reflect the value of what you’re getting, but rather how much they can squeeze out of you.
Example 1: Their copy machines are set as a default to print in color, the more expensive option. So if you’re printing a black and white document but you don’t take the time to manually switch it to black and white, you’ll pay over 3x as much per sheet as you should be paying.
Example 2: Printing black and white from the copier is $ 0.14 per sheet. Printing the same document from their rental computer costs $ 0.49 per sheet. Why the different price?

I’m giving you 2 stars because your store was clean. And convenient.
I popped in your store an hour ago. Heaven forbid I had a package wrapped in usps stuff. I needed it sent out. Short gal with black short hair told me damn near every policy under the sun in order for her to NOT ship it off. She literally told me to take it to usps. Cool.
The other item was a small paperback book going to North Dakota as a secret Santa item. Again, she rattled off every policy imaginable, then told me she could not ship my package as is because of my pretty but PAPER BAG wrapping. How useful of you. $ 10 to ship! Forget it!
Well, because you advertise usps so well… I suppose I ought to take both of my items and go through them. I couldn’t believe how many times in a course of 2 minutes I heard the word «no». Eat a shoe.
UPDATE: 1 day later… and a trip to USPS…$ 2.10 to deliver the small book to ND! I’m so glad I listened to my instincts and didn’t leave this package for me to be gauged! Mental and Unilocal note!

These folks really went the extra mile for me. I sent them a batch of complex orders, and they got them all done both sooner than I expected and with a lot of little touches that made handling the end product much easier. For example, they inserted two different thicknesses of divider paper in a collated job to separate first different documents and then individual copies of the same document. And then when I forgot various items in the store, they ran out to the parking lot to catch me with them. It felt great to have the sense that smart people were working with me on my documents.

Walk in at 5:40, start to do my printing. I’ve got one last thing to go, and encounter a problem. The machine tells me to ask for assistance. I ask for assistance and the lone employee tells me it’s passed 6 and he can’t help me because they close at 6. It’s 6:03.
What the fuck, dude? I’ve been in here working for 20 minutes.
Once again, kinkos disappoints.

I really like these guys. They’re pofessional, easygoing, and I’ve found them helpful and informative.

NOTE: A review upthread states that his dissatisfaction will send him and his binniss to the Sip&Ship, which «is right next door». He is talking about the Market Street store, not this one up the road a piece.
Anyhoo — iI was about to give up in FedEx after the experience at the Market Street store. But the Loyal Heights location on 85^th and 15^th they were kind and patient and worthy of kudos. Ta DAHHH! Snowy (yes, Snowy!) and Dave and… uh… [sorry Driver! Didn’t ask your name!] were very helpful and kind to me when I came in at 8 minutes to six without labels printed or the 5 boxes taped correctly. THANK YOU!!!

Manager there went above and beyond regular good service.

I brought two music books to this FedEx, because they have a coil binding service.
Coil binding is great for music books, because it allows you to flip to the page you want more easily. I’ve used this service several times in the past at different print and copy centers (not FedEx).
The books I brought in were too tall for the coils that FedEx had available. Instead of calling me to see if I still wanted my books bound, they cut off the spines of my books and coiled them anyway. It took at least an hour and a half, but I think it was closer to 2 hours. In the past, this service took 10 – 15 minutes at other retailers. Also, they didn’t seem busy when I dropped my books off.
I posted pictures of their actual work so you can see for yourself. I put a dime on the book they bound. The book next to it is a book I had bound in the past at another copy and print center. That shows you what it should look like versus what they did.
I informed the staff that I was unhappy with the result. They refunded my money, but not without letting me know that they don’t agree with my point of view.
If you have smaller books and you don’t mind waiting 1 – 2 hours for binding, it would be an okay place to go for coil binding.
I’m sad about the state of my books. I’ll have to be more careful with them so they don’t get messed up. The original retail value of both books was $ 62 not including tax. :(

When I miss my FedEx packages, I always re-​route them to this ship center since I just live on the north side of Green Lake. It’s never busy, there’s always parking in front. I’m in and out in less than 3 minutes. Can’t complain!

So easy! I popped in here needing things to be printed, other things to be shipped, some items had to be copied, etc. And with all of the small tasks, the guy at the counter made everything so easy for me. We went from station to station completing each little task in order and then I walked out with a number of to-​do items checked off my list. And for a great rate! I’m not usually in Ballard but if I have errands to run in this area, I’d be happy to stop back in for some help. They have a great selection of office supplies as well.

I have used this location three or four times out of necessity, and just realized that they’re actually pretty good, every time I have been in there they have not been very busy, given me all the time I needed, helped me pick the best option, and everything I have shipped out of here has gotten where it was going on-​time and without damage to the packages.
They are very quick, which can be confused for brisqueness, but I let them help me while asking what different options there were and what things meant, and I realized they were just quick, they still answered all my questions and gave me as much time as I needed to make decisions (such as when I had to call someone to figure out which level of shipping I needed).
Will definitely ship from here again.

After reading other reviews, I was a little worried, I loved my old Queen Anne location. But, as it is when you move, you must move on.
I was very pleased. The Man who helped me (Manager) was very nice. He even met me at the door when I was juggling two big boxes to help me.
He let me have a fedex tube (I needed it for something else) and was very pleasant the entire time.

this Fed Ex location is horrible!!! they charged me way more then necessary and were completely unwilling to help me fix it! i would recommend that you go anywhere except this Fed Ex location! it also might be more enjoyable to repeatedly walk into a wall then to try get a decent costumer service experience at this store! HORRIBLE!

This FedEx Office is by far, one of the best. If you need something done, and they are open, I say, go here, they are competent and knowledgeable.
I must be here at least once a month now, shipping stuff to the office and to other reaches of the country. I have to agree that some locations have workers, who don’t care; and of course that applies to many retail establishments, but this one doesn’t have those kids, but adults that actually know what they are talking about, and they are genuinely friendly. The manager there is cool, a guy you would actually hang out with, outside of the joint, and professional too.
If you are a regular like me, they get to know you, and have a vested interest in making sure you are taken care of. It’s never that busy here, so you are bound to get some personalized attention when you are there. They always greet you, and are there to make sure you get exactly what you need.
This location isn’t big, just a couple copiers, nothing like the University Village location, but hey, it’s a local branch, and it definitely has that local appeal.
