Staples

THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED.. Forever. Don’t plan on it being there.
As of ⁵⁄₂₈ when I saw it, there is a sign that read «Closing, thank you for your business»…
FYI — Not sure how to remove this location from Unilocal… anyone?

Tiny location with limited selection. «Staples, yeah we’ve got those» — maybe, but I didn’t need those. But I do know they don’t have pen refills, which is the only thing I needed.
I may go back if I ever do need staples, but the CVS closer to me has those, so not really sure there is a need for this Staples.

Helpful servicemen and women. Sure it took a little too long just to print something, but they get an A for effort. It’s expensive. But every Staples is. I try to avoid it, but when I have to come in, I’d rather deal with nice people.

just a copy store if you need a staples go else wear. does the job for quick buisness

I needed to print a portfolio I had been working on for a school project. My computer wouldn’t allow me to save as a PDF file. The manager uploaded the file onto his computer, and printed it in proper format for me. Without him I would not of been able to print, and would of failed my college computer class. He was a true life saver.

Not a real Staples. It’s basically a print/​rent a computer/​stationary store.
The dork behind the counter tried to get me to walk all the way to Fenway to a real Staples… there is a Best Buy directly behind them, the next street on Newbury.

This place if full of albeit nice, but very incompetent people. They waited 1 hr before they closed the day before I needed my banners/​posters to tell me they printed out wrong. Umm… you couldn’t have told me 3 days ago when you got the info? I should have known things were not right when I kept receiving calls for simple questions, they kept messing up my order and charged me crazy prices that don’t even come close to what the website offers. Thanks Staples for ruining my night and my event…
If I could I would give them zero stars…

I’ve been to several Staples to make copies before, and this one would be fine, aka three stars, if it weren’t for the horrible woman sales associate who did not hide the fact that she hated her job and the customers. I’ll refrain from stating her name.
Having not been in this Staples location before, I walked in and looked for the copiers, only 3. Both the black & white only copiers were being used, so I went to the one that also made color copies. While I only printed black & white, it charged me for color copies. I know it’s only 9 cents (for b&w) versus 49 cents (for color), but I was confused and felt gypped (plus, it adds up). I asked the sales associate why that was, and she started raising her voice, giving me attitude, rolling her eyes, waving her hand at me, and telling me it’s so obvious that the copier I used was for color copies only and that I should’ve waited for the other copiers. Had I known she would start chewing my head off, I would’ve just said screw it and mentally flipped her off before leaving.
Why did it let me print b&w if it’s a color only copier? It’s called stealing when you charge people for items/​services they do not get.
Three days later, I checked my debit card balance. They still overcharged despite «refunding me the difference.» Stealing.
Basically, the situation was handled in the worst possible way for such a silly minor mishap.

Staples?, really? They should call this place mini-​Staples or Staples Jr. or something because this is not Staples… they are located directly across the street from the Hynes Convention Center, but have very limited inventory due to their small size. The entire retail space is maybe 300 square ft. I have been to Staples stores in NY that seemed this small, but they have the real store upstairs. It was a waste of time for my needs, but if you need a document printed or need to make some copies, it’s perfect for you.

Oh shoes. meeting. don’t have time to run to work to print. need special paper. so hot outside. run run into Staples. scan scan. 5 customers to 1 worker ratio. hold out CD…
Staples Guy: When do you need these? Tomorrow? Today?
Me: :drip drip sweat: I. uh. :red face: as soon as possible.
Staples Guy: Well.
Me: Please. pretty please.
Staples Guy: Hold on one sec.
Staples Guy checks the back and immediately begins to print my documents whilst helping the other customers. Zip zip credit card and I’m out. My cortisol levels have decreased significantly and then even more so when I check my watch and realize I have 20 minutes to spare. SAVED!*
This Staples definitely rocks harder than the Hollywood Video that used to be here. The service was pleasant (although just the one guy on the floor with other workers fluttering around in the back), they had some sales on other things I needed to pick up, and just a wonderful cliff’s notes version of a larger Staples store.
*I didn’t need to make copies because everyone was professional enough to bring what I had e-​mailed them. DOH DOH DOH. But whatever. at least I know where to go next time I’m in a crunch.

Staples how I love thee… For the last minute copy jobs I needed to get done for my company to carrying the office supplies like packing tape that I forgot to take with me saved me from having a mental breakdown. Great location and convenient for those who are attending or exhibiting at a conference at the Hynes!

This is the location that I got our save the date cards done for our wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier. The customer service was great when I walked in off the street without any of the files that I needed, and was able to pull them up (with a little assistance) from my email account. They were set up quickly, and were done within 24 hours. They also laminated a large copy for us at no cost, which was pretty sweet. We decided not to get more printed and use them as place mats, but that would be funny.
I will definitely be back here again, because the service here was really lovely.
