He was so well looked after and relaxed when I picked him up that when we next go away I will ring well in advance to ensure they have space for him. Seriously book well in advance, Smokey didn't actually want to leave. Can't thank you both enough for going that extra mile in looking after my best buddy. Happy to share my name "Ben Biddlecombe-Hall" and this review. See you both in the very near future.

They put his halti collar on so tight it left him red raw and scarred. AVOID. Absolutely devistated. Also make sure you take a pic of your dog the day they go into any kennel!

I was in a hurry to get some A3 copies done from PDFs I had on a USB stick. Normally I'd go to…read moreVistaprint at Charing X, but then I remembered that MailBoxes Etc. could probably do this, so as I was closer to Byres Road at the time I went there. The place was deserted with one staff member on duty, so I handed over my USB stick and told him my requirements. He mumbled something about 'checking it for viruses' without any mention of charges, and although I told him it was clean he did it anyway, and then proceeded to charge me £2.12 for 8 x A3 copies, which works out at 26.5p each, when the displayed price said 14p. I was too stunned to comment on this so left rapidly. Looking at the receipt later, the charges are £1.12 for the 8 copies, plus £1 for 'Artwork' (??). Outrageous! Somehow I don't think I'll be using this place for copying again anytime in the near future. Welcome to my first one-star review, guys.

Mailboxes Etc offer binding, printing, internet, and document processing services.

They really saved my life when it came to a 97 page report that we needed colour copied with 20 minutes to go before it was due in. We literally ran to this branch on Byres road, and thrust it in their face asking "canyoucopythisimmediately?!". I can't remember exactly how much it came to, but any price was worth paying to get it handed in ontime, without penalties, and they managed to photocopy it within 10 minutes which meant we had 10 minutes to hand it in. Needless to say we literally had 1 minute to spare before deadline close, but we did it. Fast, efficient and inexpensive. Phew!

This business is convenient with friendly, helpful staff…read more I've only been in a couple of times but left happy each time. On my first visit I needed to photocopy a document after my printer (which also photocopies stuff) was out of ink. It was 5 or 10p for a black & white copy & the shop assistant did it for me. The second time I was sending a parcel via courier & using this place meant I could drop off the parcel at a time that suited me rather than waiting in for a courier pick up. The shop is large & clean & also houses a number of PO Box type mailboxes (as the name might suggest!).

I had been to several places prior that were unable to help me and I had just about given up when someone suggested giving a go here. I'm so glad that I did because they were helpful, kind, and knowledgeable- to top it off, I had the opportunity to have a lovely chat with the people at the desk (as well as interacting with a dog called Olive). What every seasoned traveler finds by moving around is that unexpected things happen and it's not so much what happens to us as it is what we do with the collection of experiences. This is one of those times. It could've easily been an unfortunate day and by all means, it's normal to feel human emotions. But what I can say is that things have a way of turning the way they are meant to, as evidenced by having authentic connection with everyone here. When I do come back to visit, I wouldn't mind popping by to say hello. I'm thankful for your help and compassion, and look forward to more philosophical inquiries. Cheers!
