As a student I always seem to be in and out of stationers constantly trying to buy more pens and…read morepads of paper. So when I was strolling along Portobello High Street, I came across Portobello Stationers. It did not look too impressive from the outside, few stationers do. This shop had a window display of traditional looking cards and some overly large balloons. Inside the shop is not flamboyant and seems very restrained in its appearance. The cards in the shop were not very funny and seemed very bland, perhaps like the cards you give someone you don't know well. Furthermore, the shop stocks, your normal range of stationary, gift wrap and computer accessories, all neatly stocked in their appearance. Compared to Creative Arts, this place is the reserved stationer's of Portobello. It has a good selection of stock for what it is, but it lacks that much needed character.

This WH Smith seems to be overflowing with stock which feels like it has been stuffed on shelves and piled on tables and will at any moment overflow and come tumbling down on to you. You can find some great deals on books and stationary, which makes me think all the overstock of other stores might end up here. It's a bit hard to orientate around despite the signs. I am hoping this jumbled mess was a one off thing and that they have sorted it it out since then cause it was becoming a bit claustrophobic in there. Usually I like jumbled bookshops where you have to hunt around, but this place somehow was not relaxing and I wasn't willing to stay too long in there in case it really did explode.

The prices are fair, which is rare in times when everything is bought online. I truly hope this place never goes out of business because there are very few places left where you can actually walk in, talk to a real person, get advice, and leave feeling happy with your purchase. Capital Cartridges is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality products and exceptional customer service.

I have used this shop to send several parcels by DHL in the past with no issues at all, but today I got to experience customer service from hell. I told this particular staff member that my parcel contained mostly baby items and that I like sending my things inside my own box because things tend to go missing when they get to my home country. He obviously thought I was telling lies and burst the box in such a way it could not be used again. After he was happy with his inspection he chucked everything in a not very sturdy DHL box and then offered me help to pack it again? Like really? I suspect the DHL box won't be strong enough to hold everything and I may end up losing stuff in the way. I paid almost £80 for this service and to be treated like DIRT this afternoon. I'm 8 months pregnant and had my 6 year old autistic son by my side standing there for about 30 minutes or longer. Don't know his name, but he is the tallish,red hair guy that's usually at the front.

My colleague and I popped by the Office Furniture Centre today to see what they had in stock after…read morefinding it difficult to locate any online office furniture suppliers who would actually deliver furniture into the building and assemble it (apparently just dumping it on the pavement outside is now an acceptable delivery practice....) and we had a great time wandering the warehouse scoping out what we needed. Occupying an unassuming warehouse on London Road, the Office Furniture Centre is a cavernous place offering a fantastic selection of new and used pieces of office furniture, with everything from standard desks and chairs to board room tables and giant filing cabinets. They also had some amazing retro pieces from the 60s including some gorgeous orange leather reception chairs. With shopping list in hand it didn't take us long to spot what we wanted and had soon picked out a meeting table and 6 chairs, a desk and matching pedestal unit, a coat stand and 2 office chairs, all in what could be described as 'as new' condition. It all came to about £830 plus VAT, less than half what they would have cost new. The office chairs were a particular steal, they were high quality Orangebox chairs and looked unused, apparently they usually sell for over £400 and we picked them up for £145. All the staff we spoke to were super friendly, helpful and efficient and once we'd pointed out what we wanted it only took them 5 minutes to sort out delivery and payment. They also couldn't have been easier about the challenges of our office location (in a basement down narrow stairs), saying any deassembly and reassembly would be included as standard. Delivery would also only take 2 working days and that they will reconfirm the day before and an hour before delivery (in case of any special instructions). Overall a great shopping experience and I'd definitely recommend anyone needing office furniture heads over to take a look!
