Home Office Supply Company

great service, friendly staff, I’m always shipping stuff that I sell on ebay or sending back returns from online retailers. never had any issues. awesome job.

Tried to sell me a box of 500 white envelopes for $ 50. Same box of envelopes I get at Office Max, Office Depot or Staples for $ 30. When I asked why they charge almost double I was told their cost is $ 40 and «we have to make some money off them». Unprofessional and bizarre company.

I went here to get something notarized and also mail two birthday cards. This was in November. It is now mid January and my sister and her friend have still not received their Bday cards. I stopped back by the store in December to ask the owner what was going on with the cards and he told me that it is a busy time of year and it could take 14 business days to get to the destinations. Fine. But it is now January and my sister and friend still do not have their cards. I have a bad feeling about this place and the way it is being ran. I say do you business with the actual US post office… even if the lines might be longer.

Staff is very friendly but what they charge on mark up is ridiculous. I fed-​exed a large box and learned that, if I had just walked around the corner to a fed ex office, it would have cost me $ 61 less! My $ 163.00 package turned into a $ 224.00 package – too rich for my blood.

I had a bad experience at the regular Post Office yesterday. I don’t want to get in it, but let’s just say the holidays really bring out the worst in some people. I ended up leaving the Post Office and vowed to find some other way to ship my packages.
Thankfully, I remembered The Home Office. I had stopped in there once when a friend needed to buy stamps and Bali had been really friendly. I walked in today, one week before Christmas, and there was no line and Bali and his staff took good care of my packages, didn’t rush me, and provided the little things I needed (like «Fragile» stickers) and really made the process stress-​free. (Is it just me that stresses out at the Post Office? Apparently not, judging by the stress I saw there yesterday.)
I even brought my little pup in and they gave her a treat! I know this doesn’t sound like a big deal for me, but this means I don’t have to walk my dog, then bring her home, and then go on a second walk to ship something — I can do it all in the same walk! Time saver!
I’m really thankful to have Bali in the neighborhood. I may have paid a little more than I would have at the Post Office, but I probably skipped at least an hour of waiting and a lot of frustration. From now on, this is the only way I’ll ship! Thanks Bali!

This place is a portal to utopia. People care and you get a feeling of rejuvenation just walking in there. Bali is an amazing person. I love it!

Fantastic, polite, accomodating and efficient. Love them!

Great place. Very friendly, nice, polite staff who make everything easy. tt’s a fantastic business with a great vibe. Definitely use these guys for any shipping/​mailing.

I go often at the home office, to either ship stuff, print documents or even do online research. Their service is impeccable and they are always smiley ! ;)

There is something missing in the minds and hearts of American business people today. Bali took it all and is doling it out in huge dollops at The Home Office. It’s called customer service.
Lookit! I had to ship a dozen large boxes to another state. A good number of my precious belonging were in those boxes. I was debating how to get them from my apartment to the post office or whatever while buying the empty boxes at Bali’s shop.
He then informed me that he offers a service that ultimately made my life completely simple. He will pick up your shipping. That’s right. He will come and get those big ass boxes and ship them off for you. And he does not charge extra to do so.
We arranged for him to come by at 2:30. He was ringing my phone at 2:33 to announce that he was outside. He helped me load them into his truck and off he went. I went by the store a little later and arranged the insurance, mode of transport, gave addresses and paid.
It was the easiest thing ever.

Bali rocks, therefore this business rocks. He cares about people, that’s what makes the difference…

This is a great place to ship DHL packages, especially internationally. Bali, the owner, is friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. I’ve been a repeat customer over 2009 and I’ve always been highly satisfied with the level of service at this neighborhood store.

Bali rocks, plus he still keeps in touch with the former owner, Matt; who he hires occasionally to come back and work his old job… April is great too. Yes, this is the best place in downtown Seattle to get your mail and do those copy jobs. Much friendlier than Kinkos or FedEx…

I really like Bali the owner and I want to give him 5 starts. He’s a very sweet guy! I’ve only had printing done at the Home Office. I like that you can email him a request at
— thats pretty cool! What I had a hard time with was a black and white print job, 500 copies that cost me over $ 50! What? Let’s keep it real… that pack of paper cost Bali what? $ 15 at the most? That was a little bit disappointing. I did request just SLIGHTLY heavier than regular paper. nothing even close to card stock heavy. Again, nice guy but I’m already paying my high Belltown rent I guess I needed to realize I am paying his too with an incredible mark up on services. Yikes. Again, really nice guy but right now I’m a broke girl and thought I would get a better deal than Kinkos… not so much. Bummer!

This is a great store for shipping and packing. They have been consistently cheaper and faster than the kinkos just a block away. Plus the owner and staff are super friendly. I’d definitely recommend this place. I’ve never used their printing services so only my caveat is that I don’t know anything about that aspect of the business.

The owner, Bali, really cares about his customers as well as providing the best possible level of service he can. From what I understand he bought ‘The Home Office’ from the previous owner who had run it into the ground and the last couple of years Bali has been bringing it back to greatness. He’s also been hiring some new faces recently and everyone I’ve dealt with there has been friendly and cordial.
They offer quite a bit of different things that are helpful, it’s kind of like a one-​stop shopping place to an extent. Printing services, shipping (DHL/​USPS/​FedEx Express and Ground), notary, Clearwire, mailbox rental, cell phones, etc. They’ve also started carrying a small selection of greeting cards as well as some art and whatnot by local artists.
The shipping rates (for FedEx Express at least) are cheaper than what you’ll pay at Kinko’s; which is located just a block south at 2500 2^nd (2^nd & Wall). You can also compare rates between the different shipping services with The Home Office and see which is most economical for you.
The printing services they do offer are not as big in terms of selection as Kinko’s although I think that they do send orders out if you’d like that done. But when you have all of these other services offered by The Home Office why not try and give some business to a local owner as oppose to Kinko’s down the street. At least check out Bali and his crew to see if they can do what you need, then you’ve always got Kinko’s to fall back on should you need to.
