They have gifts, stuffed animals, seasonal items, greeting cards, and the highest-quality specialty products you can imagine. It feels like a charming gift shop and a full-service business center all in one. I was there looking for 24-pound legal paper for an important document, and no one else had it. Not FedEx, not Staples, not any of the big-name places. Paper Annex had exactly what I needed. I will never go to FedEx again. They make copies, you can print using their Wi-Fi right from your computer, and they also offer professional notary services, custom packaging, gift wrapping, mailbox rentals, scanning, document shredding, and copy and print services. It truly is a mailbox and shipping center on steroids. For entrepreneurs, this place is a dream. The service is outstanding, the team is professional and warm, and the atmosphere is absolutely precious. Plenty of parking, high-end gifts, and the kind of care that makes you feel like you're in the right place. I absolutely love Paper Annex. This is my new go-to for everything.

A Mistake I Will NEVER Make Again…read more This morning after dropping off my kids at school, I hopped online to see if there was any JellyCat Authorized Retailers in the area as both my girls expressed wanting a certain one for Valentines Day. Luckily, there was one close and it was currently open. I walked in to Paper Annex, there was one gentleman at the counter, I saw where the JellyCats were located, they didn't have any Valentines Day ones out so I asked, (Who I believe is the owner Scott) "Do you have any of the Valentines Day JellyCats available?" He replied "Oh, yes we have them, we have had for some time but, we are not putting them out yet though" I thought to myself (seems odd to not put them out to SELL THEM) but whatever. So I asked. "When are you putting them out" In comes from the back and older blonde lady, who I am assuming is his wife Colleen & she says, "we are not putting them out til the 15th" I Replied, "Oh Weird, I thought it was the 13th as I had seen at some others shops that are not in the area posting about them" She replied, super snotty and said, "well, we are not putting them out til the 15th, people come in and buy them all up and re sell them" (she acted as if she thought I was trying to do that, based on the fact maybe, I'm a husky dude with tattoos and doesn't look like a Jelly Cat collector) "I Replied I thought online that they were out now" She told me "Well, we are putting them out on the 15th" I said ok Left this store and will NEVER return. I am not reseller I am a single, widowed dad of two girls that was trying to get a jump on getting their valentines day gifts early. I hope she's (Colleen) is ok with her wrong and semi discriminatory assumption of me along with her POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! All good Scott & Collen, I tried to support your small business. You wanted to be rude and unkind. I hopped online to JellyCats website Got what I needed Shipping was free & I NEVER have to come back into your business. Cheers!
