What a nifty little shop this is. When I worked at the Persian Rug shop in New Town I used to get…read moresent to a different branch to do bulk photocopying and they always did a great job. This time I just needed a an A4 envelope to send off my acceptance letter for my masters in (sorry, had to get that in there, I'm very excited), so I thought I'd give the Morningside Road branch a look. They run a slick, professional service here, I've always been impressed with them. As Mark W. says, the website gives you the low down on all their services, but, briefly, they do mainly copying, printing and shipping. The staff in this particular branch are really friendly and only too happy to help. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else for your printing and copying needs.

Mailboxes Etc is a shop that does a lot. It not only provides a mailbox service, but also allows…read moreyou to ship parcels across the globe as well as providing a comprehensive printing and copying service. They have a few shops across Edinburgh, with the premises I visited being in Morningside, not far from Holy Corner. I visited here for a relatively small job - scanning one sheet of A4 and saving it to a USB stick. The job was done with a couple of minutes, and the staff were swift and helpful. Judging from the amount of completed printing lying around, it is a well used service. Their website is well worth a visit, and has comprehensive information on all the services they offer, as well as giving you the option to track and trace shipments, get quick quotes for parcels, and rent mailboxes, all from the home page. It is slick and professional-looking, which helps to add to the credibility of the company. I couldn't fault the job they did for me, and have given them a rating of 3 stars. The true test for Mailboxes Etc would be with a bulk printing order, but I would have no qualms about using them again.

I can thoroughly recommend City Couriers. They were friendly, courteous and efficient.

Everything started when my father wanted specific bread machine from an online UK supplier that…read moreonly delivers to the UK. We ordered the bread machine and I was in charge of sending it. I stepped in Mail Boxes ETC with my bread machine, I asked the price of packing and sending it and I was happy with the first and only option I was aware of. I asked when the box will reach the destination, the person said Monday/Tuesday. It all sounded suitable, so I fulfilled the form with all the details and paid with credit card for packing and sending it (packing= 10£ sending = 40£) very satisfied in term of pricing. Later on during the week (Wednesday), an email was sent to me with the detail of the shipment and the address was incorrect (the wrong house number) and the email was meant to be sent to the receiver.I contacted Mail Boxes ETC by phone, they checked my address and they assured me that the box will arrive home. Apparently the mistake was only in the email sent content. I also informed him that I was told it will reach the destination by Monday or Tuesday, the person replied it was an approximation and no promises were given. After my experience with Mail Boxes ETC considering the price I would say this company is a good alternative. In term of customer service they were friendly, warm and quite casual yet I would rate it average mainly because they expected me to know about the verity of services Mail Boxes ETC offer and decide on my own. If you are lazy ( like me) and know nothing nor bothered to know much :D with a desperate desire of having your parcel packed and sent while paying a bit more for extra peace of mind in this case, maybe Mail Boxes ETC is not the best option. Try to avoid going to Mail Boxes ETC and expect them to give you a complete tour guide about the different options they offer. Taking the time to find out more details about the different services and condition Mail Boxes ETC offer and decide for yourself can bring better results.

I have the displeasure of coming across Ally when I needed a team to lift my American style…read morefridge-freezer up three flies of stairs. After talking with Ally and agreeing a quote for a job, explaining dimensions, kg, width of our doors, that I need to have it rearranged to be delivered, that it comes delivered by AO, that when I will arrange it I will get a text in the morning of the delivery with a 4hrs time slot and then I will let him know when will the fridge be in. After confirming he is up for the job I have arranged next day delivery. I informed him and repeated that I will not know the time slot until the morning and then I will let him know. He replied: 'Ok I have lots of other jobs too So you know to tell them to leave it outside until we arrive I am going to juggle jobs around just for you But we are expert and can keep everyone happy'. Quite happy by that point, I can obviously understand they have other jobs so I can have the fridge waiting on the ground floor until they have a gap to come and lift it up the stair. The next day in the morning I had AO calling and confirming that the fridge will be delivered between 4pm and 7pm, so I rushed to inform Ally so he knows when to come around and knows what time it will be in etc. Suddenly, I get phone from him and he start to talk to me that it will cost him money, that he told me that whats the delivery drivers are like. (I specified clearly that I will get 4hrs window) He continued that he need to pay wages, that its after 5:30 pm so he has man who are paid 10 12 per/h and that it may cost more. I responded that he gave me a quote (he never mentioned that the cost may change depending on the time of the day) and that's not right to suddenly tell me it will depend how much it will cost. He started getting very rude and abrasive, while I talked he even said 'let me finish' in very rude tone of voice. I pointed this is not very professional as a business owner to act like that and he got to the stage of shouting, rising his voice to me etc. Long story short I ended the call politely and absolutely upset and shocked with the way I was talk to started looking for someone else. Found another contractor in 2hrs, after confirming the job etc I was writing txt to let Ally know. He called me before I send it to him (from different number so clearly thinking I may not pick up) I said I don't need his service anymore, he was trying to be falsely polite saying that he's happy for me. When I also said 'I don't appreciate the way you spoke to me today and find it very unprofessional' he again started shouting, I disconnected immediately, with me and my fiance hearing him shouting 'I don't care what you think!' We couldn't believe how someone can think they can run business like that, shocking. Advice: Get someone else! There is plenty of professional people out there who will stick to their word and a plus they will not abuse you! Save yourself some stress and time. To top that, straight after I have posted this review on his fb page he called me on my mobile! - blocked
