Officemax

I usually print quite a bit at printing services but after my experience with a young man there I will not be coming back. This was not the only bad experience but it will be the last. They ran out of the material I was printing in and decided that would be enough for the day. No explanation of when and what I could do to print what I needed. Not to mention a general attitude of being unhelpful and unfriendly.

I just went in to print out a few resumes before an interview. I got there at around 1:10. My interview was at 1:45. At 1:43 they informed me that the computer he was using didn’t work for that printer. After 30 minutes of trying. I missed my interview and will not be getting the job. Thanks guys.

I rushed in Saturday morning in a bit of a panic. I had a very important, yet small, print order to fill and did not know if Office Max could handle the specificity of my request. I’ve been in this boat before and it never ends with me getting what I need. Skeptically, I approached the service counter and was immediately put at ease by the friendly face waiting for me. Dianne Abeyta, you are a rock star! Not only did she know exactly what I needed but she filled my order on the spot. I have never been so impressed with the service at OfficeMax. This girl is awesome! Thank you Office Max & Dianne!!! I will be back.

Do you have a business with occasional copying needs? Do you like receiving efficient service? If so, stay away from this place.
This location should be called OfficeMinus. I have never experienced such incredible bad service and inefficiency as I just have at this OfficeMax location. I came in to get some copies made for my business. The person making the copies got all of my docs set up by the copier, and then left for 20 minutes. I watched him help two shoppers find items, and then watched as he tried to slowly convince someone else to buy a computer. After returning to the copy area (without any explanation regarding why he left in the first place), he had little experience working the copier and had to redo the process twice to get proper copies. I find it almost comical that it took me 45 minutes to get 84 pages copies. I swear this company must be training their employees with a Customer Disservice Manual. I am never using OfficeMax for my business needs again.

I keep thinking — really? I’m going to give Office Max a five star review?
Yup.
I live only a few blocks away, and have for a year, but just went in for the first time this weekend. I spoke to two different employees, both of whom were friendly, helpful, and efficient. I was purchasing a four padded folding chairs, and one man went in back to get them (they only had one out on the floor), carried them all the way up to the register, and even offered to carry them out to my car. Nice!
The price was also great… I’d seen boxes of two online for around $ 80 (for the specific kind I was looking for), and the ones at Office Max were over 30% cheaper (plus, no shipping costs).
Final note — I was floored by how big this store is! It’s way deeper than it looks, well stocked, and very clean. I’ll definitely be back.

Just visited this location for their print shop to print/​cut a few promo cards. Christian helped me and could not have been nicer, quick or more helpful! The pricing was a great value as well.
Bravo Office Max for hiring smart, savvy employees… head and tails above my last visit there.

Ok — the store itself is huge and clean. The cashiers at the redgistars are really nice. Great job there guys…
BUT the print center just sucks! I’ve seriously stood there for like 10 minutes before they even notice me. There is a younger dude who’s always there and he’s such a terrible person at customer service.
Normally I’m just getting stuff laminated but I took a project in, told him I needed one paper on the front and the little paper on the back of each of the lager ones, then that I needed it laminated. He wrote that down. I came back the NEXT morning and he’d printed it but there were little spots that looked terrible oh and guess what he forgot to laminate them. I’m not picky but for

Internal pring services: Not bad! Significantly smarter & more efficient than Kinko’s for projects needed asap. But still WAY over-​priced compared to local printers. But does the trick when you need something printed within the hour…
One piece of advice: make sure you have your project 100% ready to print. They charge $ 15 + $ 1 a minute for any edits. Ick.

While this store seems well stocked, carrying all the standard and exciting new brands of paper and other supplies, I always seem to feel like they could do a better job of stocking variety, at least in the electronic items. One or two choices just doesn’t do it for me.
Comparing how I feel shopping here to other Big box office supply stores, this place comes in third, behind Staples and Office Depot. I only go here anymore when it is the closest location, or I am verifying that something is really the best choice for me.
The other thing that annoys me about this store, and about any other store, is staffing on cashiers. I am a customer, and I want to spend my money and leave. I don’t want to sit and hear both cashiers try to figure out what will satisfy the customer at the other cashier. Call someone off the floor to help the poor customer out, but keep the second cashier working. I had to stand for 10 minutes so both cashiers could get a reply from the back that yes they did have the HD the other customer wanted. If I hadn’t of needed the envelopes THEN, I would have walked out. As it was, I left unhappy, and looking forward to giving them a bad review. A few days to calm down, and they still rate 3 stars.
At best.

So, the location is excellent, and they have really convenient parking, but what really blows you away is the extensiveness of their menu. It’s a little too much really. I mean, am I going to be able to taste the difference between 42 varieties of Laser Paper? I’ve got reams of inkjet and laser lying around the house, and, frankly, it all seems the same to me. Why would I even bother to go out?
I decided to try fancy stationery for an appetizer, and one of their textured resume papers for the main course. The drawing paper selection was a bit limited, and overpriced, in my opinion, so I skipped that. If I want art paper, I’ll go to Meininger’s anyway.
I have to say overall that, despite my nutritional criticisms of chain restaurants like this, you can actually find a tasty high-​fiber meal here for a pretty low price. The quantities are huge, and you’ll have plenty of leftovers to take home in the convenient plastic doggy bags they give you right away at the checkout counter.
However, at this Office Max, the noteworthy service stops there. I found the rumors about the unfriendly atmosphere here to be unfortunately true. I was excited to dig into the cream fleck stationery right away, but I couldn’t find any tables. I eventually found a spot on the ground, but it was in a high-​traffic area near the entrance, which turned out to be a diner’s nightmare. Two different members of the waitstaff said rude things to me while I ate, and most of the passing diners gave me some really weird looks, apparently unaware that they too would soon be dining picnic-​style. Morons.
Ultimately, I really can’t give Office Max more than two stars, despite the great selection and price. I mean, they need to at least put out a few tables, maybe a little self-​serve ink and toner bar. I think the management of this chain needs to take a good hard look at their business plan, or this place is not going to last in a competitive restaurant town like Denver.

I will admit it. I have a problem. My name is Heidi and I am an office supply slut.
Day-​timers, white boards, gel pens, fancy-​pants sticky notes, colored paper clips shut up! white out, stickers, hole punchers… please avert your eyes, I need a moment.
Thank you. The ball-​n-​chain learned long ago I am happiest in second hand stores and office supply joints (or a phở joint but I was trying to stay on topic). Keep your Neiman Marcus and Sax, give me a well stocked office and Heidi will accept a hand in marriage.
Everything under the sun to organize your life and your office. I was happiest in school because that extra set of rainbow pens was bonafide!
There seems to be very little turn over with the employees which I take as a very good sign. They are all polite and well informed.
Seriously, they make colored staples. Double shut up! I know! Who knew? You now know, sailor.
