Officeworks

Officeworks are pretty much the stationary masters when it comes to office supplies with everything that you could possibly need for your home office. Apart from pads, pencils, pens and scrapbooks, you also have a great range of technology too that includes laptops, software, graphics calculators and more.
I once bought a desk from this particular Officeworks. At around $ 79, the desk has lasted me at least five years and the staff were helpful enough to assist me in getting it out the store into the parking lot, which was very helpful.
What I particularly like about Officeworks though is their printing service. I have had a couple of A2 posters printed from their stores and the quality is superb. For $ 20, they do a good job of getting the image onto the cardboard and also cutting it to the right size.
In terms of their pricing, it is really good when items were on special. Back in the day when core i7 laptops were new, they had specials where you could get an i7 enabled laptop for under $ 999, which was definitely something, considering competitors would charge $ 1299+ for the same sort of laptop. Their specials aren’t necessarily as good as they were but they are still definitely worth checking out.
Something that I also like is their 3m of whiteout correction tape for 39c. That is definitely something worth investing in. They also have had some really good specials at this store in particular with 59c highlighter pens. Keep your eyes peeled in January because thats when all the stationery specials are.

So everyone pretty much knows what Officeworks is and what they sell. You also all know how vast their range of products is and how great their specials can be.
The best part about Officeworks though — the opening hours!
They open really early every morning and do not close till late each night. It’s great of you need to stop in and pick something up on your way to work or to get things done on the way home. I love going in there in the evenings if I have to get photo’s done or things bound or basically if I have to use any of their great services because they are always busy during normal business hours and you have to leave stuff there to be done and pick it up later. I have found going in the evenings they are not so busy and usually I can get my jobs done while I wait… which unfortunately gives me 5 minutes to browse the store and probably buy more things i don’t really need!
Also I have not seen a store without parking right out the front — which is good when you buy too much. They have normal trolleys as well as the bigger ones for larger purchases. Check out their website with all specials and full online shopping availability too.
