Every time I go by their location, weekday or weekend, morning or afternoon, its lights are off and there's nobody inside. They have no web presence that I can detect. Probably why the last review here in Yelp besides mine is from 2019. Don't quit your day job, Oly Copy... whatever _that_ is.

I'm sad to say won't be back.

I went there with a "copy" project that needed to be done. I had two things that needed to be…read moreenlarged on a copier and a set of plans that I needed to copies of. I was there on a Monday afternoon and was told that it would be ready on Wednesday. They said I could pay extra and have it done immediately, or wait for them to do it, which would make it ready on Wednesday. I didn't need them immediately so I said Wednesday would be fine. They said keep an eye on your email because if they're done early, will let you know. I didn't receive an email so I went there on Wednesday afternoon to pick them up at which time they told me they were not ready but I could come back at 7 PM and they would be ready. I decided not to go back that night at 7 PM, but I went the next morning around 8:30 AM and guess what they still were not done. In fact, they hadn't even been started yet. So I had to wait and the young lady behind the counter did the project for me. I asked to speak to the manager, whose name was Shawn. I explained the situation to him, and he proceeded to tell me that it was my fault for expecting them to be done at the last minute?? I told him I didn't understand because I came in on Monday and they told me I could pick them up on Wednesday not that I said I needed them by Wednesday. He told me there is never a set time when projects will be finished; you just have to watch for the email that says they are finished. I feel like if I waited for an email I would be waiting still to this day. That manager, Shawn was absolutely useless and had no customer service abilities. Mind you I wasn't asking for anything from him, just letting him know the situation. You can imagine, I will not be back to this location or probably any location for this kind of need. Moving forward I'll most likely find another place that can do the job in a timely manner.

Lots of good reviews here so take my experience with a grain of salt. I recently had an expensive…read morepackage to return and dropped it off here as they state they are an authorized FedEx shipper. The storefront looks a bit sketchy, but there were signs for FedEx and USPS that gave it some legitimacy. The process was very easy, just dropping it off with the man at the front desk who was kind. I did not get any sort of confirmation or have anything scanned, which i found a bit odd. Then, a month went by and I still had not received word that the return had been processed, and when I called the Mailbox of Olympia, the man who answered the phone simply told me there's nothing he can do about it. I kind of figured as much, so I called the business I ordered the item from and they told me that a FedEx location (Mailbox of Olympia) had received my package over a month ago, but the business who I ordered from had never received the return. Thankfully, they were able to refund me even though the package never got shipped. In the future, I will be driving further out of my way to go to a corporate location to ensure that my packages get delivered. Maybe the package really did just get lost in the delivery process, but there were too many red flags (sketchy storefront, not asking for any info when I dropped off the package, unable/unwilling to help when I called) to give them a second chance. This store may be a good place to get small services done as other reviewers have stated, but I would recommend going somewhere else to ship valuables.

They really…read morehave everything you need to do business or whatever your come in for (staples, computers to print, copiers, white out, glue, all sorts of supplies) The people working there are very nice too even when you go really late at night like I do. I like that you just stick your card in and print to your hearts content. And I think they have a prepay kiosk or something now which I'm unsure of how it works. I'm glad that they are open late, if not 24 hrs, because sometimes in the middle of the night you just need to make copies of old letters or photos and such. The prices are really reasonable as well. For anyone who hasn't used machines where you stick your credit card in and then print there could be a small learning curve but once you get the hang of things it's smooth sailing from then. Don't worry, you can use cash too.

Also, I'd made a mistake in what I dropped off for them to print, but the folks at Minuteman figured out what I needed and made it happen. It also took them much less time than I'd expected. The people were friendly, the price was very reasonable, and they went above and beyond in doing the job very well. I highly recommend the Minuteman Press on Black Lake Blvd in Olympia.

He helped us pick out the perfect paper and then rushed the printing job.
