I took 2 items into the Stockport branch to be laminated, the staff completely ruined both items…read more These items had been especially purchased for me from The Netherlands. They must have had the laminator too hot as they all wrinkled up and jammed the machine. I was give a refund for the laminating costs. However they refused to compensate me for my ruined goods. Eventually the manager got permission from the head office to give me a £10 gift voucher to spend in their own store !!! I explained that this was unacceptable, this voucher could not replace my items!! The usual manager said she'd email the office again to ask for cash!!! 3 weeks later I am still waiting for a response. What sort of manager needs to get head office approval to give a cash compensation payment when its her staff that ruined my goods. I have found this company and its staff to be totally incompetent , untrustworthy with my possessions and in fact totally useless. I would NEVER recommend them. APPALLING

This is a branch of Rymans stationary supplies in Stockport. This used to be Stationary Box until…read moreit got bought out. They stck pretty much the same things as stationary box did, including a wide range of pens, art and school supplies, office supplies etc. They also stock a small amount of electrical items such as printers and shredders. The prices are quite good. This is well worth a visit if you have children that go to school/college, or if you use a lot of office supplies and stationary. The staff are friendly and there isnt usually a queue at the till.

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!

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...

Gould's has recently moved house, it's now in the old Woolworths building as opposed to it's…read moreoriginal location round the corner. It's great to see that Gould's is still going with the likes of Ryman and Staples popping up all over the country. But they deserve it, they're great little stationers and as long as I can remember they've been incredibly helpful in every aspect of what they do. I mean this is the place you'd go as a kid to get you're Iron Brew pencil case, as a teenager to get your tip ex, as a uni student to get your folders and then as an adult to get your pens and pads for all the things you start to forget. They really are a great little shop and I would thoroughly recommend them. They sell everything stationary related, including canvasses for the budding artist in you!
