They took the time to answer my questions and made sure I understood everything clearly. The service was efficient, and the overall process was smooth and stress-free. I was also impressed with the quality of the service and the attention to detail. The value for the price was excellent, and everything was handled in a very professional manner. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable and friendly service. I will be coming back again.

I needed a place to print a Celebration of Life program.

My program was only 3 page of content and 4th page (back page) nothing Then I remembered Copy World. I figured they do a lot of printing especially for all the Cal students. I went it and the gentleman helped me. luckily I have saved the pages individually on a flash drive and brought with. He told me some of the formatting was off, but he kindly fixed it for me. I also wanted to get a poster for have at the front of the Church pews for people to look at and he said I could have that ready the same time. I went in on a Monday and he told me it would be ready the next day. I couldn't get there until Wednesday, but the programs came out beautiful. In a stress time, where funeral programs are generally a last minute item, make sure you stop here. He told me that they the programs are generally last minute but they always make it work.

Any complex issue is handled professionally. Every single person who works there is smart and very responsive. I recently had Oakland city plans and had to be on super large paper.

All of my print jobs take very little time (almost always same day, sometimes even same hour!) and they always look great. I was having particular trouble printing something I designed in Canva and they worked with me until I got the coloring just as I wanted. Last week we had them print newsletters created by little kids. The online spot they designed them in did not come in time for their publishing party. Grand Copy Center saved the day for these kids (and it looked 10x better than where they usually get them printed). Appreciate an Oakland business that is easy to go back to again and again.

I waited about 10 minutes, then asked, "Hi, are either of you free?" One ignored me completely, and the other just walked to the back without saying a word. A bit later I asked again and got a "hold on" while they kept texting. Meanwhile, there was only one other customer the entire time and three people up front for about 20 minutes. At one point, another customer came in, and they went ahead and helped the person behind me while still ignoring me. Nothing dramatic happened, it was just clear they weren't interested in helping. If you're okay with being an interruption to someone's phone time, this might be your spot. I'll go somewhere else next time.

I walked in with stock, a flash drive, and within 3 hours I had my stock, and the attachments ready to go and approved, and printed without a hitch.

They also worked with me on the pricing, helping me stay within my budget, since there were several color sides to the solicitation attachment. Worked it out beautifully! I will definitely go back for whatever needs I have in printing and copying. Thank you so much!

Can I give 10 stars?? So we were referred to Copy Central by an employee at Fed Ex! Lol hard to…read morebelieve but yes it happened! I'm glad we went. We gave Jay all the information needed for our funeral program and he gave a suggestion on how to fix the problem and quote on pricing. We did just that. We came back and brought the flash drive and Evan fixed the problem, and Jay made a sample of how the funeral program would look and we APPROVED the proof and before we knew it, all 100 copies were done the same day! You guys are awesome!

Bear with me as I respond to Copy Central's dispute of my rating,…read more Copy Central "Hi Michael, sorry for any confusion but I believe you may have visited another Copy Central and not our store. We have no record of any estimates or jobs ordered by you," I believe you are tacitly defending a policy that bilks college students out of their money. CC "Regarding your quote, if all you were asking for was printing the files as-is, your cost would be less than $50." And yet, the estimate I got was 3 to 4 times that amount. Now that I've complained, I'm been offered a lower amount. Curious coincidence. "Our most recent estimate is accurate because you asked for formatting 73 individual images, which are all sized differently, and to be printed and trimmed to the same size." Funny thing happened when I attempted to use your self-printing option: you told me I had to use your staff and pay through the nose for the privilege. "It appears you have not taken into account the time it takes to format that many images, but if you believe it's an easy task, please resubmit your files as a print-ready multi-page PDF with bleeds and crop marks." In fact, I did take that into account as I was going to pay to use your Adobe Pro license on one of your computers and where I can do all that myself in less than a half hour. You told me I specifically could not do that in spite that your website specifically states I can. " I'd be happy to discuss with you outside of a public forum, but if this is how you'd like to correspond, I can reply accordingly." Well considering this was your response, yes, I am going to keep this in a public forum so everyone, including, other customers and your staff understand how you operate and how you've treated me. Or, you could promise to conform to company policy and not try to exploit your workers and customers like you have been doing.

Even more importantly, if something looks amiss with a job, they will ask for clarification. In this way, they have saved me from myself more than once. If you're on campus, they'll also deliver! I also recently had the chance to work with Laura for the printing for my daugther's wedding (lots of small items, different sizes). Again, her attention to detail and kindness made a stressful season feel easy! Thanks to Laura and the entire team!
