This is my go to Staples in Maine…read more It's super conveniently located, it's got plenty of parking (albeit it in a mildly chaotic lot and with tight spaces), it's clean and well organized, there's clear signage, and the staff is EXCEPTIONAL. I try to make it a point to make my returns here, do my printing here, and have any of my government-issued photos done here. The staff is so competent and so thoughtful and so efficient and so patient. For returns: you couldn't ask for a more patient staff (especially if you're patient with and kind to them; I've seen plenty of rude customers who a) wanted to skip the line because they had a "simple" return [where they assumed they could just toss their UNBOXED item with NO paperwork on the counter and walk away], or b) started belittling other customers for taking too long). Whether your QR code doesn't immediately work or you suddenly can't find it in the chaos that is your inbox or are returning seventeen items individually (...which I witness nearly every time I'm here), they got you and try to make quick work of the process. For printing: they always have me double and triple check that everything looks correct, and are - again - so patient as I meticulously scour the work. The other day, I watched them gently run after a woman because they realized they had made an error with her printing and, while she didn't catch it, they did, and wanted to make it right immediately. For photos: I recently had to have very particular government photos taken (that are not the normal size, and other Staples don't even offer the exact dimensions/the exact service I needed), and they a) knew exactly what I needed which immediately put me at ease, b) went out of their way to make sure all information that was needed on the back of the photos was available (going out of their way to fix it themselves when they weren't sure I had enough of the info that might be needed). I feel confident when I come to this Staples for all my business and professional needs!!

Easy process for Amazon returns and UPS package shipping!…read moreThe desk is to the right as you enter. The couple of times I was here, there wasn't a line. The interaction was purely transactional. They only needed to scan the bar codes on the pre-paid packages I was sending. The person at the counter was polite, said very few years and smiled for the "greeting" but not much else to the interaction. Parking is easy which is a plus. I can't rate the service or knowledge of the staff, but overhearing other conversations with customers...I would say, this is a good drop point for packages.

So here's the deal. You probably don't always need custom framing. You may not need it for years…read moreand years. But one day, there'll be one special something. It could be a piece of art, a limited edition comic book, a quilt or a special piece of clothing from a passed loved one, a bunch of pressed flowers...whatever. Whatever that something is, you're going to want it framed a little better than what you can buy off the shelf at Target or Michael's. Maybe a lot better. Whatever. There's only one place to take it. Period. Grapheteria is a small shop with a small team. And they are hands-down the best framers you're going to find. Not in Portland. Not in Southern Maine. Not in New England. The best framers, period. Now, full disclosure, the folks at Grapheteria used to be a client of mine (lots of years ago). And they're definitely friends. And for all that, I write with full confidence that their work is worth every single penny, half penny, sickle, copper, coin, and/or cent you invest in a job with them. Because that's what it is - an investment. Every piece of custom-framed art we have in our home has been handled by the folks at Grapheteria and our home is better for it. Their process is conversational and intuitive while bearing in mind cost sensitivities and design preferences. They will guide young artists to lower cost options to make their work POP for a first show and still stay affordable and can help serious collectors with archival and museum-quality glass to preserve high-end artwork. I cannot recommend Lisa and Jim and their team highly enough. And the fact that Nat Geo photographers, nationally renowned painters and emerging artists all trust work to them should say volumes.

It now hangs proudly in my dining room!

First time experiences always determine a second visit do they?…read moreSuperb service and a quality product is what I received from Xpress Copy. From my initial phone call inquiry, through the customer service assistance, online estimate, and product delivery, Xpress Copy was the finest experience I've ever had in forty years of conducting administrative support purchasing. And after being in the Army, I know paperwork! Here are the highlights in order of importance: 1) Kelsey Berry. Outstanding Customer Service. She handled my entire process. You know how it is when a business answers your call and you immediately recognize you'll be well taken care of? That's Kelsey. Sharp, intelligent, and motivated, it's always reassuring when you know the first person you're speaking with is going to make it right, and take care of you. So many businesses ignore or fail at this basic fact. The owner obviously knows this and has carefully selected & trained this exceptional young professional in Kelsey. 2) Finished Product. My order was an unusually large file, requiring single side copy and binding. The options available to choose were great, and again, Kelsey helped me make an informed choice for the best results. 3) Speed. My order was complete and ready for pick up days before I had specified. This allowed me to not waste time and expanded my response turn around to the agency I was sending it to. Amazing! 4) Price. No other business came near the quote I received from Xpress Copy Service. Not even close. I realize some consumers base everything on cost, but I base it on customer service. That said, cost here was a winner. 5) Local Business. I love to support worthy local business when I can, not just because they are local. Local and EARNED gets my patronage and positive reviews. It's worthy to note that Xpress Copy Service is easily accessed in a congestion free area in Libbytown, Portland. No hassle drive up. 6) Last but not least, and I'm putting it here to make a point about Xpress Copy Service. Leadership. Supporting everything in my experience was the Leadership behind the organization. That is owner, Mr. Todd Kent. I know because I was late to pick up and it was after closing time. A man was there at the outdoor pick-up in front of the business in accordance with Wuhan Virus state law. He personally went back in and brought out my order. Xpress Copy Service could have done what most businesses would & have done: Taken the easy road, "Sorry, we're closed at three, come back tomorrow." The man who took care and stayed late was Mr. Kent. I didn't know it until I went to write this review and had to check their website first. In Army Special Forces, every leader is "First In, Last Out" and sets the personal example. Todd Kent is that kind of leader and business owner. I'm glad to have been able to business with his organization, and will be happy to do it again. THANKS XPRESS COPY SERVICE

I was told nothing about this on 7/24, and the amount seems ridiculous given that I asked for it to be shipped via fedex ground.

Has a way more open space feeling so even if it gets busy it won't feel as busy and crowded. I will also say the largest portion of this location definitely seemed to be the clothing. Some of the clothing did seem haphazardly placed in the wrong size section but I'll assume that was customers putting them back however they wanted. If you are a fan of thrifting and being on the hunt for that ultimate find/hidden gem this would be a spot I'd recommend. It may take some time and searching but prices all seemed reasonable. My wife and I did not find anything we needed or wanted but since it's goodwill you know they'll have an ever rotating stock so we will likely return. Definitely one of the better Maine Goodwill locations we have visited in recent memory.
