We use Metropol's services at the 3 restaurants I work out to print our take out menus as well as our catering menus. They are great quality, efficient and have great staff.

If there was a place in Victoria to get stuff printed, it's Metropol.

My volunteer organization needed some tickets, posters, and drink stubs printed for our fundraising…read moreevent. I was recommended this place by a friend, and boy...was it a mistake. To go into a bit of background. I have been a graphic designer for over 15 years. It is how I make my living, and so I am no stranger to dealing with print shops and the nutty ways they often do things. When I first called them about the job, everything sounded fine. They were knowledgable about the questions I was asking, and was able to give me a ballpark quote. However, the first red flag was when they said, "The girl that does perforations is only in until 2pm, so you have to come before then." Odd...but okay. The next day I called back to let them know I had altered the design a bit, and had emailed it along to confirm they could print it. The person I talked to on the phone was not as pleasant, but assured me he would call me back shortly to confirm. Three hours passed. Running out of time, I decided to drive into Langford to talk to them in person. When I arrived at the shop, the person I talked to on the phone said, "Oh, ya...we haven't opened our email today." Odd...but okay. He printed out a proof of my tickets and brought it to the front counter. This is when he started giving me the gears about everything. "These are really close, I don't think we can cut these." he said. I responded with, "Yes, there isn't much bleed because I wasn't sure what your requirements were, but it is fine, if you print them I can cut them without issue." I said. He huffed and puffed, then said, "Where do you want your perforations?" to which I responded, "Here." He then said, "What is this line for?" I said, that is part of my design. He looked up and said, "I don't like it, it looks weird, can you go home and remove it?" Really? Look, sir, I'm not here for an art critique, I'm here to get something printed. After some back and fourth, I asked them to simply print them for me and I would cut them at home. Three hours passed and I got the call to come pick them up. Low and behold, they were cut...and quite terribly I might add. Despite having clear crop lines, they missed most of them. About a week later I went back to get the rest of the materials printed. I walked in and said, "I have a few quick print jobs, if you guys have time." "We charge a $5.00 "output" fee, just so you know." I asked what that meant, and the lady said, "Every time we have to transfer something digitally off a USB, we charge $5.00." I asked if I could email the work, and she said that the $5.00 was to send any digital file to the printer. What? Opposed to what? Analog? Clearly a cash grab, I said fine and asked for a quote for the project. For some reason since being in business since 1988, they weren't able to give me a quote for two colour prints, and 110 tickets printed and cut. The lady went into the back room where she was discussing it with a co-worker. She came back a few moments later and said, "Wow, super cheap, only $10!" I said that sounded great. She then said, "Are you sure you don't want them cut?" Again, I had asked to just allow me to cut them at home. I like the control, and I don't mind putting on a movie and cutting to pass the time. However, I was in a bit of a rush and so I said, "How much with cutting?" She left into the back room and came back, "$16.00". That sounded great and so I told her to go for it. A few hours later I came back to find a $33.00 bill. I inquired about the cost and the lady said, "$5.00 output fee, $4.00 printing, $16.00 cutting, and taxes." (rounding off). I said, "Oh...I think there may have been a miscommunication, I was under the impression the $16.00 was for the entire quote, not just cutting." The lady said I could wait until the person I was dealing with had returned from lunch. When she returned I said that I was very sorry, but I think we had a breakdown in communication and that the quote she gave me was misinterpreted. She said, "You asked me how much cutting was, I told you $16." I explained that I understood how the communication breakdown happened, but I explained that I was used to getting a full quote in writing, not verbal quotes spread out for me to do the math. She said that is how they always do it and it works fine. I explained that is fine, but my suggestion was to provide the customer a written quote that they can both see and agree to, so that these things could be avoided. She stood there waiting for me to pay or something, when I said, "I'm sorry, but this is for a volunteer organization and we don't have a $33 budget to spend on this, had I known the cutting was $16, I would have requested that they not be cut as I had originally." She stared at me blankly. I then said, "Okay, well, could you please reprint these for me without cutting?" Her eyes widened, "You want me to just bin these?" Yup...So three hours later, I got them unprinted. Never again, waste of time.

But I do have valid complaint regarding the manager who also owns the business. Today I did my laundry in an older machine. It's at the back row and 4.00. Because it was very busy , it was the only machine available, so I put it xtra clothes in the machine. This is the only time I have done this. I'm not the only customer who has done this and I most likely won't be the last. After loading the machine I went to sit outside , and then when I returned , the lid of the washer was up. The manager was at the sink and instead of saying to me, "Excuse me miss but you put too many clothes in the machine. Please don't overload next time". But he proceeded to communicate to me in a very condescending way, that was rude, and belittling, and rolling his eyes at me like I am completely stupid. Then he proceeded to tell me that the engine of the machine was giving off an unpleasant odour can't I smell it, and it's ruining the machine. And because of me the cost of doing laundry goes up for everyone. ( lol... all because of me heh lol) There was no odour. That machine is used over and over again, so for me overloading , is not going to be my fault. So then I asked him if it's ok if I put the lid down of the washer, so the wash could finish, there were 4 minutes left. He replied " Oh... what are you trying to ask me now?", in a snitty rude arrogant voice. Then he says " Oh and that's not washing." and rolls his eyes , shakes his head and rudely walks away. He also said that my clothes would be soaking wet when I take them out. My clothes were washed My clothes were not soaking wet. This was a very humiliating way to be treated. Not that he would really care, but won't be returning Sincerely Jennie ,
