Copy Central

Copy central saves the day! I had botched these DIY wedding invites (that where already late) and copy central was amazing! They had vellum paper and everything (they also cut the prints for you)! Looks amazing and super professional for a fraction of the cost online ! Thank you!!!

I walked in and was warmly greeted. There were no lines or crowds on a Thursday morning. Robert was friendly, knowledgeable, and upbeat. He happily worked with me as I had multiple requests on the Christmas letters he was printing for me on special paper. He took time to make sure my requests were met. He went above and beyond, and I appreciated his fantastic customer service! My Christmas letters turned out exactly as I hoped! Thank you :)

Simply amazing! 9 999 999 999 999 999 464 902 769 475 481 793 196 872 414 789 632­00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 better than FedEx.

Printed a 4′ x 4′ color poster for a conference — same day, no hassle, and the poster looks great. Thanks!

When I first walked in I did not know what to expect, but to no surprise it was just as cluttered and unorganized inside as it was on their website, and not to mention the extremely high prices!!! It was crazy in there… not only did my color copy come out way lighter than I wanted, but the price I paid was way over the price the item was actually worth. I definitely will be taking my printing needs elsewhere from now on. So disappointed in services I received :(

Always helpful, SUPER easy to use their printing services. But don’t send faxes from here! Crazy expensive.

The ladies who assisted were fantastic. I am completely satisfied with the service. I plan to return.

I’m giving 2 stars for inconsistent pricing.
I came in with 13 pages to scan and 10 pages to print. Total came out to $ 5 for the scanning job and $ 2 for printing. That was fine, they got the job done, they were friendly. I would’ve given 4 stars for that experience.
Next week, I come into to scan ONE paper. Total price? $ 3. For one measly sheet of paper. That’s overkill. If you get any scanning done, make sure you check with them what the price is first.

Where on earth is Ricardo !!!
My business cards were postphoned for over a week because Ricardo was on vacation. He started the work but left it idle. I patiently called back and found a day Ricardo was in but lo and behold when I arrived at @2:30 pm Ricardo was at lunch and when I returned Ricardo was on break and I’d have to wait half hour. This place is located in a very difficult area parking wise so I just cant get there every day to suit Ricardo. None of the other glass eyed, half asleep zombies there were able assist me so I gave up and left.

This place has saved me on numerous occasions the day before class and such. lol. These guys are great they know what they are doing and I have had nothing but excellent customer service and nice results. Thank you for being competent!

One staff woman was quite nice as she passed by, but the four men who intermittently worked on the task of faxing my *two* three-​page documents took about 20 – 30 minutes to do it (the store was not busy), were frequently miscommunicating as they did so, and charged me almost $ 8 for the privilege. Best part is, the documents never made it to their destination.
Update: down to one star after receiving several accounts of my friends receiving similar treatment

These people are super-​friendly and very efficient. They treat their customers with respect and get things done on time. I now regularly email them plans and they are always ready for pick up the next day. It’s just a copy shop, but it’s refreshingly awesome.

I stopped in here to print a couple resumes– I am from out of town and unexpectedly got a job interview here. It cost me 44 cents to print two pages, which I thought was more than fair. I didn’t get charged a sitting fee to use the computer, like other reviews mentioned. I was in and out quickly. Exactly what I needed.

Shoutout to Adrian!
I wanted a full bleed print for my portfolio and this was my first time to get such a kind of print-​out done so obviously I did not consider the reliefs that need to be included on all sides. But Adrian was very considerate and he walked me through with the process and made sure that the prints came out just the way I had imagined them to be. Super friendly and could not have expected it to be better than this. I am obviously going there again for my future needs.

I told the guy working there that I wanted to print some documents. He TOLD me to use the computer. I spent 2,3 mins on that computer and printed 2 pages. To my big surprise, the guy cheerfully charged me $ 2.18 — for 2 pages!
He explained because I used his computer, and there is a minimum charge of $ 2 for every sitting, and then there is 20cent increment for each minute. I told him that he should have told me earlier about that cost. He said «everybody knows it.» After telling him that he should not expect every customer knows the rule, and of course I cannot print without using the computer, he calmly said «yes, you right, you can talk to my manager.»
What an underhanded way of doing business.
I am not sure about their other services, but I wont come back to that place again.

I had an emergency print job that I needed to get done, late on a Friday afternoon. I called them around 5:45PM; they close at 7.
I e-​mailed them the file by 6 o’clock, walked in at 6:30 as they had just finished cutting the job for me. I walked out in 2 minutes after paying quickly.
For someone who isn’t always the best at planning ahead, they sure were a huge help in getting my project done. I’ve been to other copy shops that haven’t even started a job until I’ve walked in (despite my good planning and sending the file ahead of time).
I will keep using them, and recommend you to do so, as well!

The only reason I’m reviewing a non-​food place is because service was pretty slow and I was bored enough to check in on my phone, haha…
That being said, service was friendly and the man printed out another reader for me when they were out. :)
I wish this place was closer to campus and where I live though. There’s another one on Bancroft that is a little more convenient :(

Just had a crazy complex order that I initially placed online but needed to pick up the same day and involved two different docs with different quantities, etc…
A quick phone call to copy central on Shattuck and they were able to take care of all of it. I just picked up the finished product and it looks great.
The staff went out of their way to make sure this quarky but small order was done well and I really appreciate the hard work.
I know they aren’t the cheapest option but a quality product will ensure that I’m going to return there again.

The great service at this storefront really contrasts with the despicable service at the bancroft copy central (unfortunately, it’s the closes to where most undergrads hang out).
So I had a ~200 document to print, and asked to print by myself. The lady attending me gave me a short but thorough instruction of using their pc, choosing the printer, making sure to pre-​print a few pages to see if I liked the way it came out. The pre-​print tip was so crucial! In contrast, the bancroft place had me print out a whooping 350 page document in single page, and told me I had to do it again and pay the price. Ugh, customer service, much?
So the same lady at the shattuck store also made sure that I was able to print under 10 mins, as the computers begin a charge after 10 mins of printing. The gentlemen that helped me bind the book was really friendly as well.
Please avoid the other store like a plague.
You can be guaranteed great service at this shattuck storefront :)

Another place where I am: «Yay! I’m a fan.» and «Woohoo! As good as it gets!»
The staff here are very nice, competent, efficient, and through. Customer satisfaction is what they strive here for at Copy Central on Shattuck Square. Job requests can be done while you wait sometimes or can be picked up later in the day.
This is another place where many of the instructors at Berkeley City College get their readers mass produced for the students. I came in to get a worn-​out front, cover replaced on my art history reader. Unfortunately, they could not find the template on their computer. So they made a better deal for me, they used the nearly worn-​out front cover, placed plastic film over the worn-​out front and back covers, and re-​bounded the reader at a discounted price for me.
I have come in here to make personal copies of documents, seven cents a copy is pretty reasonable, I think. It is quite reasonable.
Out of all the Copy Centrals in the area, the one on Shattuck Square is my favorite because of the staff’s professionalism and the location. Location! Location! Location!
