Ryman in Bury, is a fairly small store yet they still manage to pack a lot into the store, mainly…read morethrough making use of their large and tall walls, which is both a good and bad thing, perhaps good they manage to pack a decent product range into a large space and bad because some people might struggle to reach the higher shelves because of how they have utilise and packed the space. The staff didn't stand out as much on my visit, as they have done previously such as at Ryman in Newcastle, but they seemed much friendlier than the rude staff I've seen at other branches of Ryman such as Manchester Arndale and Oldham, which were the two branches which accused me of breaking their products to return them, when there was an obvious fault which made me feel quite shocked and sad, however I won't let this affect the review for this store as it is down to a different branch of the chain, of course not this one. The location of this branch of Ryman is okay, it is away from the main part of The Rock, yet it is still classed as being a part of it, it is much closer to the likes of Natwest, RBS and the Millgate Shopping Mall than the central part of The Rock, which includes a VUE cinema, Marks and Spencer and JD Sports, to name just a few shops in the shopping complex. Once again I'm struggling to determine a fair rating for yet another store, this isn't the best or worst branch of Ryman I have visited and for me it is basically average, and it also is average in terms of a store of its' kind, I'm in the tricky situation where a three star review would be too generous and a two star review might be slightly undeserved, yet sadly due to nothing about this place standing out and yelling "excellent" at me, I feel it is so high up the two star ladder yet not worthy of a three star rating yet, hopefully this will change on a future visit to this store.

Ryman is a place where I have spent a lot of my time recently across numerous branches in…read moreManchester Arndale Centre, Rochdale, Leeds and now this branch on Oxford Road, which is quite a small branch but still stocks a decent range and some pretty decent stuff, the essentials basically and a little bit more, it is in a great location being so close to the Central Manchester Universities on Oxford Road, had this store been anywhere else it would have probably got a single one star but I feel the location and rage in a way has done enough to earn at least two. Some of the biggest flaws about this store is the size, for example it is hard to browse the store without something blocking it, making the already narrow passageways seem like an Obstacle course, perhaps something like you would see on Total Wipeout, a game-show filmed in tackling danger in Argentina, broadcast in the UK. The store is also really well hidden, other than a small sign, it is so tucked away, it seems like one could walk past it, which really isn't good especially if you're not familiar with the area and are not sure where it was, the situation I was in today, it just didn't seem welcoming because of this and it felt like it was saying "Don't come in We don't care" rather than "Please come in", which is something every business needs to do, value and attract its customers. The staff seemed nice enough and got my return sorted rather quickly, there was a decent range of memory sticks on the shop floor this time, rather than picking up a cardboard card and taking it to the till, saving some hassle. There was a small and decent range of most products you would associate with Ryman and the staff seemed quite nice too but due to the isles being so narrow, and lacking accessibility and the store simply not seeming the biggest, best or most welcoming I sadly feel this store warrants no more than two stars and I'm finally pleased to give this branch its first review in a whopping 5 and a 1/2 years

Isn't it funny how so many people claim to love stationery but hardly anyone can spell it? Even…read moreotherwise flawless spellers seem to confuse stationery and stationary. I was always taught the spelling by the rule, 'e' is for envelope. Alongside envelopes expect to find diaries, calendars, folders, paper, printer cartridges, pens, highlighters, Tippex, Post It notes, blank CDs and pretty much every other item of stationery you'd need in the office or at university. OK, so you could probably get a lot of the items for cheaper in the union shop, or if you're at work you could raid the stationery cupboard, but it's a well-stocked shop nonetheless. They don't sell larger objects such as office furniture and printers, as it is really only a tiny little shop. Guys - not a bad shop to have a wander round when your girlfriend is in the waxing shop next door!

I have used Cartridge Care now for some years and they are an impressive company. My business does…read morea lot of printing so I need good quality ink cartridges and printer inks that are reliable and competitively priced. Cartridge Care ticks the boxes they are cheaper than anywhere I could find locally or online and they offer same day delivery so my cartridges are only a phone call away. Great job guys.

Good All Round Quality I am so pleased that I called Cartridge Care over the weekend looking for…read morecompatible cartridges for my Brother printer after having a bad experience with some from another supplier. Not only did Craig from Cartridge Care return my call first thing Monday morning, he took time to explain to me how to reset the printer and resolve the issue the demic cartridges had caused. I am delighted to say that I received my cartridges from Cartridge Care this lunch-time, carefully and well packaged - and also on free next-day delivery - and my printer is now working fine and is as good as new! It is very reassuring to know that such courteous and prompt service, and helpful advice, is available from Cartridge Care. And the cartridges are good quality too!!!! Thanks so much, John Walker

Pens are big business, everybody uses them. The pen was first invented well, a very long time ago…read more Its name stems from the latin pinna which means feather. Pens are generally long thin items with rounded ends that apply ink to a surface for writing. The earliest pens were made in India out of bird's feathers. The pen shop sells pens (any more obvious?), it makes a good location to seek out a variety of potential gifts for that someone special. Staff know their stuff when it comes to pens and the pen shop does a big variety from the day to day pen to the ones you sign million pound cheques with. Also does a big range of pen accessories if you don't know what these are let me tell you, paper, diaries, notebooks, pads.............

When you've got a writer in your friend collective, you often forget that these creative types…read moreactually prefer pen and pad to computers and white screen. You forget that they get giddy over pen barrels and nibs and fluidity and feel and weight and all that geeky stuff. But it's also refreshing to see pens still bringing in the buck. For the technology technology technology people of our 21st century world, the thought of a pen shop might prove a waste of good space for a city centre, in favour of a shiny new Mac shop, yet it's the refusal to budge that endears me to the Pen Shop. Walking in to the Pen Shop, you could be forgiven for nipping in and blindly expecting to pay a maximum of about £30-40 for a pen. Yeah that really is not going to happen, priding themselves on retailers of excellently crafted writing apparatus, don't expect to pick up three pens for a fiver. I was mooching for a fountain pen as my ideal gift, and the prices start at around the £40 mark and can go upwards of the £1000 price point. Best thing to do, walk in, state your reasons for purchase, price point, and style of pen if you know it, let the sales team pull their products and choose your gift to make your pen lover happy. If you're flush on the cash front, then Mont Blanc pens are gorgeous, if a pen is a pen is a pen to you, then try the Parker or Cross pens. But remember folks, if it's for a gift, it's not you that needs to be impressed. Don't take a netbook lover in with you who will utter that they could buy a notebook for the price of a pen...doesn't go down too well...

I have just had massive issue with Mike the guy who runs this company. His website is awful, I…read moreupdated my order for 1 to 2 and then clicked process, it would appear that this is not sufficient when you want to update the quantity, you must also look to a different part of the screen and click update (Mike seems to think this is the same on all websites, I have since checked and it is certainly not!) Mike was very sarcastic and rude in the emails to me. A full refund was offered but since it is not the product but the service that is the issue and the sweets have been opened and used I did not take this option.

You can get a wide arrange of stationary for adults and children alike ranging from paper, pens, notebooks, ledger books, photographic paper and ink cartridges etc. When I was young and at school you really couldn't beat shopping here before the school holidays ended to get everything you could possibly need (and many pretty shiny colourful things that you probably didn't need but shhh!) the prices are competitive, the range is large with a lot of stock and the staff are efficient.
