I needed to get a poster made and they did a great job. Printing, resolution, customer service, timing, I can't say enough good things. Pricing was better than others as well. Really recommend it. And the owner is a pretty nice person too. read more

Vick Copy is excellent! Needed a poster printed overnight, and it was done and ready for pick up early the next morning in less than 24 hours. Vick was very responsive and gave me frequent updates via text. They go the extra mile for their customers, literally -- Vick drove the poster from Richmond for a special drop off for me. Very reasonable prices for high quality prints. Highly recommend, especially if you need a poster printed fast! Vick Copy will get the job done. read more

Vick Copy came through. I needed bookmarks made for a next-day event. Vick Copy got them to me quickly and communicated with me throughout the process to understand my printing needs. A great company. I will be using them again. read more

Quality: 2 Service: 3 I came here over a year ago to print a cheat sheet. I walked in the door and was greeted by an Indian man who had very hard-to-understand English. I asked to make a 1-sided color print, but he told me that they didn't have color available. I thanked him and left. No color? You've got to be kidding me. read more

Was able to print high quality research poster with a few hours turn around time. Very communicative and fast.

Very friendly. The lady who seemed liked the owner really cares about the business and tries to help you as much as possible. read more

Awesome place to make copies. We used to make copies on southside, but this place is much cheaper and they use higher quality paper! This is a family-run business and the owner, Vick (hence the name of the store), is a really nice and outgoing Indian who, once you get past the typical Indian accent, really tries to make sure you get the best quality results. They are much more helpful than the other copy centers that give you the "sorry the manager is not in" attitude. :D read more

I printed posters for conferences several times from this place. The quality of printing is excellent. The turnaround time is extremely fast. I got my poster printed in 1 hour. The price seems high at first glance. But compared to Fedex, it is low. Please support this enterprise if you are located close by. read more

In a rush, I was trying to print my IEOR report. I usually do my copying/printing @ some places in south side, but I called up Vick Copy to see if they did printing, in addition to copying. They did, and I was surprised at the prices. I think I got a much better deal here than @ Copy Central (5.5 per copy) and probably more expensive for printing. The service reps were very helpful in directing me to print my color intensive report. will go back again : ) read more

Excellent poster printing, both in the product quality and in the customer service, and same price as FedEx Kinkos. I came to Vick Copy Friday evening needing to print a poster for a conference on Sunday morning, but knowing that I was going to be away (and out of cell reception) all of Saturday. He said in a friendly tone, "that's ok, give me the file and the contact info for some friends, and I will make sure it gets done." True to his word, he came in on a Saturday (when they're usually closed) just to print out my poster, and then waited for over an hour until one of my lab mates could swing by to pick it up for me, so he could be sure that I would receive it. The poster print was excellent quality, and won 2nd place (out of 88 entries) at the conference's poster competition; a testament to the finished quality. I highly recommend Vick Copy to anyone looking to print a poster. read more

Vick Copy is AMAZING. For my first time, they assisted me with some wedding items. I was able to bring in my own card stock and print what I needed very quickly. They were exceedingly helpful and when the card stock started acting up in the machines (as it tends to do), the owner was so helpful and he sat feeding each individual piece of card stock into the printer. I'm so grateful to him, and they have made me a very happy customer. I will be recommending this place to anyone who needs any work done. So happy! Thanks, Vick Copy!!! You're a lifesaver! read more

Got high-quality poster printed for a research presentation and I am very pleased with the results. This is my second time going here and I will definitely keep going back. I asked for the poster to be printed by Wednesday and they had it done within two hours! I asked for 30x40 and the margins were perfect! read more

Vick Copy was an utterly disappointing experience for me. I came in to print my resume on watermarked resume paper. While they do have this type of paper, the lady who helped me did not check the orientation of the paper before she fed it into the paper. The result was 5 copies of my resume with 5 different watermark orientations - right side up, upside down, backwards, forwards and some combinations of these. Out of the 5 copies, only one had the watermark in the correct orientation (right side up and reading left to right). I think it is clear that she had not taken the time to look at the watermarks before placing them in the feeder. I notified her of this fact and asked that the paper be fed in such a way that the watermark was right-side up and read left to right once my resume was printed on it. She responded that this was impossible and that the orientation of the watermark did not matter; no attempt was made to try printing it the correct way. I take issue with this for two reasons: 1) Seeing as one of my resumes was printed with the watermark in the correct place, I find it difficult to believe that it is impossible to print with the watermark in the correct orientation. Printers do not randomize how they flip their papers and print, so it is a matter of figuring out which way to put the paper in so that it will print in the correct orientation. 2) I made it clear that this was a priority for me, yet she told me it did not matter and tried to brush the issue off. Consequently, I felt very disrespected and believe the service here is subpar. The only reason why I am giving Vick Copy 2 stars is because they did not force me to pay for the papers. However, this was only after lengthy discussion. If you are looking to have a clean, correctly oriented resume printed out, I would recommend going to another copy center. I went to Copy Central on Bancroft after this and they printed my resumes with the correct orientation and no problem. read more

Have been to Vick's twice. First time to get a reader and was in and out, good quality and price. This second time yesterday was a really great experience. I needed a 3*4 color poster printed for a class and we weren't going to be done with our data graphs until the day before it was due. I called and he said he could that if we got it to him by 2pm he could have it done same day. My classmate and I ended up running into a series of technical issues with our design and computers and didn't get it finished until a few minutes after close, but we stayed in contact with him and he stayed open for us. He and wife were extremely nice, made sure we double checked it and felt comfortable with everything we did. Super happy customer - poster turned out beautiful and we got it done in time. read more

I ordered a poster two weeks ago, but it never arrived. I think this business might have closed during covid, because I've tried calling + emailing + visiting multiple times, but cannot get in contact with the operators of this business. The website appears like it is still operational, and their online payment system took my $26 and emailed me a receipt, but I never got my poster and cannot contact them. read more

I've gotten posters printed here for years and they always come out great! (The 24 hour turn around option to print a 4x3 poster is a good deal). While it is possible to print for cheaper, the quality is worth it to me (I want to be at my best during conferences!) read more

Vick Copy is fine for binding, printing, copying, etc. They should stick with what they do best. When I tried to get passport photos done here, it was a disaster. I would warn anyone thinking of getting passport photos done here, just don't. The gentleman who took the photos was incompetent at the job he was paid to do. After three attempts, he failed to produce an acceptable passport photo (acceptable = a passport acceptance facility would let me use the photo). I didn't ask for my money back because he was clearly becoming irritated. I didn't want to fight over $10 and thought I'd take my chances at the passport acceptance facility (the guy kept insisting the photo was fine even though it so clearly wasn't). It turns out, I was right. When I arrived at the passport acceptance facility, the woman who helped me literally laughed out loud at the poor quality of the photo. I told her what had happened, and she was nice enough to retake my photograph free of charge. She later handed me a copy of the photo she'd taken (one attempt, by the way) and told me to go get my money back and tell him this is what a passport photo should look like. I didn't return for a refund (I probably should have, but like I said I'm really not interested in fighting with anyone over $10). read more

After having been recommended by a friend that this was a reasonably priced copy store I sent in a final copy of my pdf to be printed. In a few back and forth messages it was made clear that they would not resize my image to be printed (though this is commonly what a printing store does) Upon receiving a resized copy that obviously had errors I was told again that they would not print my image because the sizing was incorrect. After racing home to resize and resend an edited version they decided that all of a sudden they COULD resize it (huh imagine that?) and then proceeded to print the second deformed one without my consent rather than the original I had sent them. Once having submitted the edited version he told me it was "too late" because he had already printed it. Go here if you love to be screamed at by an employee that does not have the customer's needs in mind. Service was RUDE and unacceptable. If they cared about the quality of their work they would not be going tit for tat on a piece of glass paper with some color on it. It does not cost $54 to print a few words on a flimsy piece of gloss paper. Never again. oh and 10 cents a copy too? lol. places in downtown charge 3 cents. If you love being taken advantage of for being a student with very little other options this is a must visit. read more

Our academic department at UC Berkeley has been using Vick Copy to print our commencement programs for several years. I've also used them to print postcards. We've always been very happy with the service. They invoice us and accept purchase orders, which makes for a smooth transaction. They've been very accommodating about everything we've asked them to do, from last-minute changes to folding and stapling. The turn-around is amazing - they've had big jobs ready for us overnight. We really appreciate our relationship with Vick Copy and will be continuing to use them. read more

I am not familiar with copy shops and don't usually have to be in one unless buying a reader for a class, so when I was tasked to print newsletters for my fraternity, I had no idea how to get the job done. I came to Vick's because of their convenient location right across from campus from northgate, which saved me a few times in spite of my procrastination. Vick and his wife are very easy to talk to and are so attentive to detail that even I didn't realize how complicated printing out a newsletter could be. Their copy shop has a homey feel that isn't too awkward to stand around in while waiting for copying to finish. I originally didn't know they had a online submission system, but after Vick told me, it made my job so much easier and helped save me some paper and printer ink. The products came out very nicely and on time, and I even learned a few copy machine tricks while waiting in the shop. They also price very fairly and Vick gave me a discount the first time I came in! Bottom Line: I was thoroughly impressed by Vick's professional attitude and extreme helpfulness in helping me finish my print jobs. Highly recommended for anyone needing a copy shop. read more

Straight forward and to the point . . . . You can make copies anywhere but I prefer Vick for the following reasons: 1. Location is right next to my business(on the northside corner of Campus @ Euclid and Hearst) 2. Great service and product: Sometimes things don't come out as you planned, but they will help you get to where you want to be. 3. Family Run and Operated: I am a firm believer in supporting family businesses. Go to Kinkos if you want to be treated like a number, as for me, I'll be at Vick's. read more

Friendly, helpful, efficient, and cheap, Vick Copy wins my vote.

Excellent service, quick and friendly. Adjacent to campus, we use Vick for all our department high volume needs.

I printed a 42"x 42" poster here and was surprised that it costed more than 100 dollars. The poster margins were not cut symmetrically and when I asked for that to be fixed, the worker gave me an attitude and matter-of-factly said it'll do because he "prints posters everyday and it's always fine" I tried to use the $75 for $100 yelp deal for orders over 100 bucks but they refused to apply the discount because according to them, my totally overpriced poster is apparently already under a student discount... I saw fabric poster options online so I was curious if they offered that service. The worker had no knowledge of such options and ridiculed me for inquiring about it. The truth is, the exact same size poster on fabric is roughly the same price including delivery of the poster to your door without any trouble of carrying a clunky poster tube. http://postersmith.com/poster/price_and_delivery I'm not sure if I was just having an unlucky day but printing here was a really bad experience for me. read more

Since Vick's is located conveniently near campus, I go here quite often for everything from getting copies to getting research posters printed. I think they have great rates, they are very efficient with getting things done and are very helpful if files are not configured properly. The latter they do for free unlike other copy places. They offer a lot of convenience as you can email them your files and they'll give you a call to give you immediate feedback. Vick's is a family owned business and a place where you get really get personalized and hospitable service. read more

Pros- -TIME: Extremely fast turnaround. Less than an hour for multiple poster prints. -LOCATION: Perfectly located for students and researchers on the north side of campus. -SERVICE: The owners seemed like genuinely nice people. They were likable and professional throughout the transaction. However, while the service definitely wasn't bad, it is what I would call "overbearing"- constantly insisting they were the best in the business, consistently asking us to recommend them to our peers, repeatedly asking for positive reviews on Yelp (which, ironically, is what prompted me to write this), etc. Cons- pretty much everything else -COST: While I can't actually talk about the purchase we made with them (as we were in a rush and didn't have time to get quotes from other places), I did once get a quote from them and two competitors for a different poster. For the same print, Vick (and Copy Central) offered me quotes in the ~$60 range, while Krishna Copy gave me a quote in the $30 range. I ended up going with Krishna Copy for the job, and was very happy with how that print turned out. This then leads me onto the biggest complaints: -QUALITY: Overall, sub-par all the way around. The final product was not printed edge-to-edge, but rather with margins on all four sides. Not only that, but the margins were not even, with a ~1.5" margin on the left, and a ~.5" margin on the right. In addition, due to the margins, the poster itself ended up not being the specified dimensions, as the 2" of white space made the poster area ~46" wide instead of 48". Furthermore, the color accuracy was visibly off, with the light-gray background of the poster being shifted to a sort of teal-greenish color. All of the previous items, while annoying, were things that I could personally deal with. Everybody has an off day every once in a while, maybe it was a fluke. However, this final thing is what really ticked me off, and would be the primary cause of this establishment never receiving my business in the future. Without our consent, and after taking payment from us already, Vick slapped on a cheap, dirty, paper sticker on the corner of our poster, labelled "Printed at vickcopy.com". This is simply unacceptable. We did not spend however many hundreds of man-hours researching, writing, and designing these posters, and pay over $150 to have them both printed, just to have them be turned into billboards for the copy center. It was an unprofessional move by the owners, and frankly, if we showed up at our talk the next day with the posters looking like that, it would have made us look unprofessional too. Overall, I can not recommend anybody use Vick Copy's services, at least for poster printing, unless the owners make some fundamental changes to how they run their business. I understand that some of the issues we encountered may have been due to the extreme deadline that was required, however, in that case, I would have expected the owners to notify us previously that such a rushed print would not be able to be finished to a high standard of quality. Even the major redeeming factor of our interaction with them, the fast turnaround, was negated by the hours we had to spend afterward with a scalpel and ruler, carefully trimming off the uneven margins and uncouth sticker. While I do have very limited experience with copy centers, I do recommend checking out Krishna Copy on University as an alternative, as I was comparatively much happier with the final product there. read more

I have been going to this shop for many years whether it be to fax a document or to get copies made. I absolutely love the staff there because they are extremely helpful and are very polite. It is definitely cheaper than going to Kinkos or Copy Central. I'm also a believer of supporting local shops rather than big corporations. I have nothing but good to say about this shop!! read more

This place has worked like a charm for anything I've ever needed to do. The owners are pretty chill and will let you test print a page and help you format your prints. Price is reasonable and hardly ever crowded! read more

Owner and his partner are awesome. I always get what I need here with quick and friendly service. I have printed color booklets and business cards with these folks. I definitely recommend. They also have some of the best poster prices in town. read more

For me and the East Bay branch of a national nonprofit organization I belong to, Vick Copy is the "go to" place for our copying needs. Our local chapter publishes a bi-monthly (sometimes monthly) newsletter for mailing to 350 members. Vick uses high quality paper and the articles as well as photos always display beautifully. Our newsletters are printed two-sided, stapled at the top left corner, folded in half and stapled close at the bottom. We've been using Vick Copy for about 20 years now and he has always maintained his high standards. We are very happy with their service! The only downside is their location as it is sometimes difficult to find parking nearby. No worries -- Vick and his team are happy to bring out the completed job(s) as I pull over to the curb outside their store. What terrific service! read more

They messed up my copy order for an assignment. Once the prof pointed this out to me via email, I had to rush back and ask for them to reprint it. I was freaking out since I knew that this would affect my grade. They had the gull to ask me to get the old copy back from my prof and bring it in to them so that they could add the one page THEY messed up, if not they were gonna charge me for the whole thing again. Only after exchanging a few choice words did they print it out again for me. WORST PLACE EVER. read more

Great service + high quality at the lowest price. Vick is really friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are happy. read more

Very disappointed. While online it says they are open on Saturday from 12-4, I went to the copy shop at 12 to find that they had a sign on their door that said their hours were 1-4, Slightly frustrated, I killed time for an hour and returned around 1:20. Still closed, with no sign that they would be opening. It is incredibly frustrating to find a business that has hours but does not abide by them. read more

I really appreciate the service at Vick copy. Vick, the owner, is really helpful, and very quick. Their rates are also as good as any I've found. I live in the neighborhood, on the north side of campus, and I'm really glad they're here. read more

Horrible Service! Messed up my book binding by making the spiral bound cover the text. He still proceed to want to charge me for the binding service, even though it is not usable. To make it worse, he started yelling at me when I said that this is not something I am going to pay for since it not usable. He started making excuses about how the printing was done wrong so there was no space for the binding. I know for a fact since I did the printing that I centered every page so there was plenty of room (more than two inches) for the binding to go, but he didn't even bother to check while cutting the book to see if he overcutt. Every single page had the binding over the text. Terrible experience! Will never go there again! Update: I just returned from copy central, with the same printing job not only were they priced cheaper (8 dollars instead of vick's 10) but got it done (cutting and binding) within 5 minutes. So I didn't have to make two trips. Very friendly staff. Thank you copy central. read more

Extremely committed to helping customers. Vick came through on a difficult custom printing job for a research application. The work was ahead of schedule and we remained in contact over phone and email to make sure everything was perfect. Rely on Vick for all your printing needs, big or small, and you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm all for supporting small family businesses, but this is the worst family business I have ever encountered. For a while, I continued using Vicks due to the convenience (the shop is only a block from my home). However, Vicks recently lost (yes, lost!) a two-day priority mail package that I had sent for an exorbitant fee from their shop, and then refused to help remedy the situation in any way. I will not be using their services ever again. The tracking info on the package indicates that the package was scheduled for pick-up on October 15 (not October 13-- the day I gave the owner the package with his promise that it would be shipped that day), and also indicates that USPS never picked up the package. Still, Vicks claims that the mistake is from USPS and refuses to reimburse me for the contents of the package or the cost to re-ship it via overnight mail (a total cost of more than $100!). My additional (lesser) complaints about this business include: They never open on time (at some point, I just started pretending that they opened an hour later than the stated times, so that I wouldn't have to wait outside again). The son, who often works in the shop, is very rude; he doesn't even apologize when he's invariably late opening the shop, and he exudes negativity. And the services are way over-priced compared to almost all nearby copy shops. I'm sad to say it, but I'd rather go to Staples or OfficeMax than patronize this horribly run family business. read more

All the people who work at Vick copy are extremely helpful. The prices are always much lower than I expect them to be and their readers are cheaper than most places in Berkeley. Vick even gave me a discount when I printed a bulk order. I printed greeting cards here and the quality was amazing, truly more than I could have hoped for read more

Great service and super fast turn-around. I had a 36" x 48" poster printed in less than 30 minutes. Best printing option for anyone at UC Berkeley! read more

Fantastically helpful. I came in to Vick Copy at the eleventh hour looking to have a full-sized poster printed and mounted. They were able to handle everything the same day and even stayed open late to be sure that everything was finished. I'll always use Vick's for printing around UCB. Wonderful, high-quality print job. read more
