I have been a customer of Smudge Ink since 2007. I had a bunch of custom items made way back then and got to tour the Charlestown print shop. Over the years I've bought a bunch of cards from them. I love their master card packs. Now, the business is located in Acton Massachusetts. I love supporting small businesses and artisans. Please enjoy the photo of my cute little notepad with a pen made from wood that was turned by a friend's late father :-)

Smudge Ink isn't smudgy at ALL…read more The ink on their cards is bright and crisp. Their designs are fresh and fun. And best of all, these cards can be found all over SF including some of my favorite card shops like Wink, Ladybug Ladybug, and Mai Do. So, Smudge Ink is one of my favorite card companies. (Yes, I have favorite card companies. No, I am not a loser. Lay off or instead of a holiday card you'll get coal - capiche?)

This place is old school, the real deal, it seems like the people who work there are really invested in what they do and eager to support customers' needs. I would visit again for sure even though it was a bit of a drive, totally worth it!

We are first-time homeowners and painters and we really needed some expertise before purchasing…read morepaint and supplies. We walked out of this store with all of our needs met! We were able to first meet with a decorator, Jayne, who did an excellent overview of matching paint colors to our needs and our personalities (fun!). Next we met with Aaron, who walked us through their paint selections and the entire paint process. He helped us pick out all the supplies we needed. As an added bonus there was a great sale on paint and supplies that weekend. The only downside was that we were in the store for nearly 3 hours as they were somewhat short-staffed and had to tend to other customers. Overall I would highly recommend this store to painters of any expertise level.

Once it was dry it was a PERFECT match and I was a happy customer. The two young men that work there could not have been nicer. I Ike to support local businesses. I will for sure use this store for all my painting needs now.

I had taken my computer to Geek Squad in Fenway and was told my motherboard was shot---it would…read morecost more to fix than to buy a new computer. I happened to pass Marathon on my way to the Natick mall and figured what the hell, the computer's still in the car, might as well give it a try. Long story short, they charged me $180 bucks and now my computer is as good as new. I'm actually kind of angry at myself for going to Geek Squad in the first place; I consider myself a fairly savvy consumer, and Geek Squad's conflict of interest is glaringly obvious. If you're told your computer is beyond repair while standing in a Best Buy, chances are you're going to buy your new computer at that Best Buy---instead of being satisfied with your piddling $180 for repairs they'd rather scam you into dropping 1K on a new computer instead. Anyhoo, I'm never going to darken the door of a Geek Squad again and I suggest you follow suit; big conglomerates aren't going to treat consumers with respect until we demand it.
