Best Stationery Wholesaler Cambridge Near Me

Matthew Lau: Rude owners and the worst customer service

Maite Suarez-Rivas: Great experience at this family-owned store. I was going out to visit/stay with some west coast writer/producer friends and wanted to show up with a gift that they’d use often, was from a family-owned business, and very Cambridge. The two ladies at the store helped me pick out these pens that write as beautifully as they are stylish. The store also had cards made by a local artist and gift bags. My hosts loved their gifts!

Cal B: Two sweetest ladies running the store.

Sadie: Wonderful folks, good products

Nagela Nukuna: Unfortunately, not a very friendly staff member that I was exposed to. I entered the store because I saw a mug that I liked with mathematical equations, and saw a 20% student discount sign on the door. When I brought it up with the saleslady (and mentioned that I went to MIT), she said that the mug is not considered a "student item", and that the discount only applied to things like notebooks, paper, and "things that students use". I pressed and mentioned that students do use mugs, and the sign on the door did not mention "student discount for select items only" - or at least did not mention that it was for select items in a legible format. After about a minute or so, I said - "you know what, usually I would push further to negotiate but that's ok", to which the salesperson told me "We're a small business - we may not even be around in a month for you to negotiate further with". I didn't reply. Then, unprovoked, she said "You're in the wrong country" - to which I said, "Excuse me?". She went on "you're in the wrong country.- we're not in a country like India, where people barter for everything". I looked over at my friend - I was not pushing for something that was unreasonable. The sign at the door said "20% off student discount". That's not bartering - the sign shows false advertising. I said back to her - "I'd just like the mug, thanks". Then upon giving me the receipt - for the $15 mug, mind you - which she said was already discounted (I don't know the validity of that statement), I said that I didn't need a receipt, as I normally do. I manage my finances online (which I didn't feel the need to divulge). She stared at me and then sassily said "Okaaay", drawing out the word - as if in a mocking or judgemental manner. I was extremely off-put by the experience - I thought it was rude, unfair to the customer, her attitude and statements were culturally insensitive, and clearly the advertisement on the door was misleading. Needless to say, I won't be shopping here in the future - nor will I be recommending this location to others. If I could give the shop 0 stars, I would.

Elizabeth: Very friendly staff. A lovely small business to support. Carries most things you'd need stationary-wise. Also carries getting cards.

Will Guter: A small place with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

Arthur Hamilton: Convenience, is within walking distance from work. Prices are fair and had exactly what I needed in pens, markers and other interesting stationary.

Eddie Fisher: Great people. I have known them for over 25 years and you will not find a better business to deal with.

Robert Humphreville: Gail and Betsy are the best. They can get you any stationery supplies you want quickly. Excellent quality, price, and service. What's not to love?

이현수: Good stationary store.

Nubs: Reasonably priced tourist postcards. For whatever reason, the employees sit in the very back away from the register and are not ready to go when you are.

Matt Reno: Gail and Betsy are terrific! Hard to find item? Ask them for their catalog - it’s huge!!

Andreas Jobst: Ein kleiner inhabergeführter Laden für den gesamten Bedarf an Büromaterial. Was nicht verfügbar ist, kann und wird bestellt und fragen werden sachkundig und ausgiebig beantwortet. Hier wird Service noch groß geschrieben und das Einkaufen macht einfach Spaß. Eine Empfehlung in Cambridge / Boston. This is Service! :)

Zoe Lemon: They have good prices, but best of all the people who work there are sooo sweet!

Max Khatsenko: Awesome friendly staff, small business, homely feel. It feels good to shop here

Lawrence Barriner II: this is the best stationary store I've ever been to. they have pretty much everything i actually need and if they don't, they'll order it for me! i used to go in and the folks there knew me by face, would ask me how the semester was going, and then give me a sweet student discount. places like this are made of gold.

Mark Nahabedian: They often have what I'm looking for, otherwise they can usually get it in a few days.

Elayne Gordonov: Love this place! It is a family-owned stationary and office supplies store. The owner's are helpful and very flexible with products. Once I only needed 2 sheets of paper in a 10 sheet pack. The owner told me to just take 2 sheets out and that is all I was charged for-- won't find that at Staples or OfficeMax!

Betsy Lenora: I always enjoy coming to University Stationery to stock up on supplies for my store. My favorite thing is knowing that I'm supporting a locally owned and run business and not some big impersonal chain. I shop here even if I might be able to get a better price elsewhere (tho I always get a good price). Gail, Betsy and Barry are almost like family to me. I also enjoy the over-flowing shelves - I can browse and find something unexpected. But I can ALWAYS get what I came in for. It's a fun store with great people.

RM: Go to a smaller family owned business even if you have to pay a little more and be happy!

Bernadeth Clarke: If I could give zero stars I would. Our company has worked with them for over 5+ years. We paid for two desk installations beginning of September 2019, it is now 11/27/19 and still only one desk. The installation crew told us on Day 1 that everything was wrong. What we were promised and paid for cannot happen and no refunds given but more quotes to make our vision work. Now no one is responding to calls, voicemails, emails. What kind of company doesn't respond? They took the payment and commission and now disappeared. Very disappointed.

Blair Wampler: I have three contacts over at WBMason ranging from managers, to sales, to design. They are awful at getting back to me. I have a project with them which is timely and I emailed so many times to get a project status and called a cell to finally talk to someone. I followed up with another email and still no response from anyone. One time i even had to call WBMason customer service to try to find someone over there to actually answer my emails or call me back!!! It was ridiculous. Rhonda Lockwood (customer service) is fabulous by the way. WBMason needs to be better about emailing their clients back or keeping their clients in the loop. I still don't even know what's happening with my project... I may go somewhere else for my furniture needs if i don't hear back soon.
