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.

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.

Most people will need the services of a copier at some point in their life. In my past lives as…read moreuniversity student, as a zine maker, as a young professional, and as an unemployed bum trying to print off my resume, I have had to utilise copying services a zillion times before. Cost Less Copies in Annerley can help you out with most paper related requirements. If you need business cards made, they can do it for you. Band posters? Sure. A hundred copies of "LOST DOG" made up? Yes, anything to help. Binding that thesis? Need some plastic sleeves for important documents? No worries. They do it all. The prices are quite competitive. If you're a uni student, I would recommend coming here. Even though you'd think the uni would cut you a good deal with binding and copies and whatnot, they don't (especially if you go to UQ). If you live or are around the Annerley area you'd do well to stop by. The staff are prompt and have a quick turn around.

When you need something done urgently, the man is very happy to help you, he's very good at what he does and has a lot of experience running this place having had run it for a fair few years now.

Talk about a simple printing transaction! I usually seek out the nearest Officeworks for my colour…read moreprinting needs, which are usually extremely small (read: 1 or 2 copies of something) but after three failed visits to the Officeworks in Milton where either their self-service machines were throwing funky colours in the print or being told their colour printing was fully booked for the next few days, I had to look elsewhere. I needed these few things printed by the end of this week. On a whim after walking to Bunker to get a coffee, I saw MBE Milton's sign starring at me and with my USB on hand walked in to ask if they do one-off prints from USB. "Yes, we certainly do!". I'd always thought they were somewhere for large-scale printing only and thus never gave them a second thought. How wrong was I? With the details of what was needed out of the way, my printing was in my hands in less than 10 minutes. The gentleman that served me was polite, my prints cut down to A5 beautifully and the kicker - the same price as Officeworks. MBE Milton, I think we'll be seeing more of each other for printing rendezvous.

After all you can hardly meet a potential client toting a Kikki K diary organiser and a glittery pen. This is where Officeworks comes in. The Officeworks brand has expanded to match the changing times. This was the place where I once bought my stationary for school. Now they've expanded to a decent range of printers, hard drives and office software. The other night, I even came here to search for decent office chairs and desk sets. There print and copy centre is worth a try if you're after standard photocopies and digital prints. I've had one bad experience where I was unhappy with the quality of their printed business cards but when I complained, the staff cheerfully refunded my money. With that in mind, I still use their print centre for last minute print jobs and emergencies. I don't think you can find a cheaper price or a shorter turn around unless you go online. Also while they are definitely not doing funky furniture or stationary, they are a reliable brand and reasonably priced too.

Overall terrible experience. I'm not sure what it is about office works, but it seems like they…read morejust cannot keep up with today's printing needs. Every Time I attempt to use their self-print services there is some sort of malfunction that turns a 2 minute job into a 50+ minutes. Today it seemed like there was ample staff wandering around the store but not a single one in the area I needed assistance. Further to this, when I approached the print desk to seek help, two staff members continued their conversation for well over 2 minutes before even acknowledging me. Seems like office works has had the market cornered for too long now and I think they could do with some healthy competition for a dose of reality. If you can do it at home or online, I would avoid this place for sure. Over and out!
