I've noticed that the office staff often appear unhelpful and unwelcoming. There's usually no…read moregreeting or effort to assist customers promptly. At times, I've seen staffs chatting among themselves instead of attending to people waiting for service. This lack of customer focus might explain why there are fewer customers here compared to places like JB Hi- Fi or the Apple Store, where customer services is much more engaging and professional.

Personally, I can't wait for the time when my printer runs out of ink, or I run out of paper, or…read moreschool is starting and I just need to get highlighters in every possible colour. Let's not forget about the regularly occuring need to stock up on sharpies, USBs, notebooks, journals and staplers. I have a self imposed ban upon entering Officeworks unless I absolutely need to. If I do go there, I need to have a guardian with me who will hold my purse. I am a stationary fiend. I can justify any purchase. Not surrendering to Officeworks is sometimes the biggest challenge of my day. When they designed Officeworks, they had me in mind. They said "lets build a colossal multi-level store devoted to stationary and home office needs. The office workers, the creatives, the students, the parents will come in DROVES. Just watch them." It's a brilliant idea. Who doesn't need pens? Even farmers need pens. Astronauts, too. You can get EVERYTHING you need from Officeworks- well, all the basics at least. Forget fancy artist pen sets, go for the Faber Castell set of 24 connector pens. That'll do the trick. Printers, computers, iphones, ipods, phones, external hard drives and all associated accessories can be found here. The staff are extremely friendly and really do like to show off their knowledge of the home office machines. "Oh, your Mac won't recognise your external hard drive? Well that's because X doesn't...". Yes, you will have those conversations and you'll love it because you'll walk out with the right bits and bobs you need. Let's not forget they have photo printing facilities as well as on demand copying services. Ohh! The joy. The SHEER JOY of being handed warm paper just off the press is sometimes too much for me to handle. Bonus points for the selection of chocolate bars they sell at the counter. Shopping does make you hungry.

After a year of slaving away researching, nights of redbull, countless coffees, editing till my…read moreeyes hurt and typing til my fingers cramped, I had finished my honours thesis. All 76 pages, 16 000 words of it. But there was one step left before I could hand it in... I needed to print the damn thing! On Campus at the University of QLD, St Lucia, there are a number of places where you can print, but the POD (Print-on-demand) Centre offers a stress free printing and binding experience. It is located at the back of the Co-op Bookshop and everythig is orange so you can't miss it. I had left it to the day it was due to print but had gone in to POD Centre the week before just to ask how it all works. The staff were extremely helpful, very friendly, and very fogiving of my slighly sleep deprived state of not quite consciousness. They easily explained the printing process. It is as simple as setting up an accounton the self-serve kiosk, finding your file (preferably pdf as this minimises chances of formatting errors), and pressing print. Easy as. The cost was quite cheap, even for the few colour pages that I needed and all three copies of my thesis were printed and bound within 20mins. I walked away with a smile on my face, stress free and happy as can be.

It's located behind the Co-op Bookstore. Find a self serve kiosk. Set up an account. Find PDF file. Print. It's easier than making mi goreng. However, if you want someone to hold your hand through the first time, ask one of the staff. They're easy to find- they're in orange. They're more than happy to help. POD is also useful for when you have lectures that say you need to purchase 'Course Readers'. These nifty little books are also printed by POD. You'll find them around the corner from the orange counter. At the beginning of semester, they usually print masses of them to meet demand. POD in my opinion, is definitely one of the more important and helpful services that UQ provides.

Brisk and staff made our stressful move simple and easy We…read morehad very stressful circumstances for our move before Brisk stepped in and helped us out. A stuff-up with paperwork for a work-related move meant that we had to organise (and pay for) our own move from Townsville to Brisbane with a week and a half's notice. Nic was professional, understanding and reassuring during this stressful time, and gave me a quote (that they stuck to) and very reasonable payment options. Nic also helped by giving us a spreadsheet that calculated the m3 needed for all furniture and belongings. The list was comprehensive and showed us that we booked the correct amount of space for a hassle-free move. They fit us on to a truck that happened to be passing through town the exact dates we needed, collected our belongings from our two bedroom home on the Thursday afternoon in Townsville and delivered, exactly on time, two days later on the Saturday morning. Brett managed the logistics of the move and kept us updated. Zac and Sam were our removalists and were courteous, good-natured and efficient. They were helpful in keeping us up to date as they approached Brisbane, and were very helpful when unpacking the truck, offering to put any furniture we wanted in any room we needed. They picked up and delivered with a smile and good humour, which was exactly what we needed. Also worth noting we had an elevator and stairs at the pickup address, and a double flight of stairs (3 stories) at the delivery address. No mess, no fuss, no damage, excellent service. If I had to recommend a moving company for any short, long or interstate hauls to close friends or family, would recommend Brisk Transport in a heartbeat.
