Our organization has entrusted Graeme, Michelle and team with the printing, copying and binding of all our official documents and deliverables and they have always produced excellent results for us; often at short notice too! On a particularly rushed and critical afternoon, the UPS store staff member stayed after closing hours so I could compile everything they had printed and bound for me; they went above and beyond in their customer service to my organization so that I could meet a critical deadline. Thank you Robie St UPS Store for your customer service excellence!

Most recently i've been a tad disappointed with Purolator. A friend and I ordered some stuff from…read morethe US, sort of expecting the usual difficulty with cutoms, and being asked to pay US tax and Canadian tax. As a result I started keeping close tabs on our parcel early on. Our stuff had initially been shipped March 20th and I was delighted when I saw that it had 'arrived' in Halifax April 1st. Two days later still no package and the website now stated that my address was difficult to locate and would be taking extra time. I live on the corner of two pretty main intersections so I was at a bit of a loss as to what the confusion might be? When I called the 1-800 purolator number I was even more surprised to find out that purolator keeps regular business hours (more or less) ie- not open weekends to field queries, etc. Overall, we did get our stuff in the end but I expected a bit more from such a shipping big name.

I provided photos of my home, clearly showing it isn't where it was delivered, but they say their GPS is accurate so they close the case. Not only that, I have a camera out front, and I showed them the time frame they said it was delivered showing no one came up the driveway. Their drivers have done this repeatedly. Absolute liers. Their GPS is just a general area, there are over a dozen homes in the area. They are criminal.

When you try to get your money back he insists he is only a "franchisee" and there is nothing he can do to get the money back from UPS. Then the owner has the audacity to say, "I believe you will find other couriers do the same thing." Who says that?????? What a joke- who sells a product/service that they cannot assure consumers that they will get what they paid for. NEVER EVER using this place or UPS again.

Finally the tracking indicated the items had been at this UPS location for 3 days. When I arrived, I was told that in fact, they had been returned to sender a week prior, after sitting there for 2 weeks. When I explained I couldn't have known they were waiting for pick-up because the tracking number didn't work, the clerk shrugged and nodded as if this was routine operating procedure. When I explained I had received zero delivery notifications, the clerk looked skeptical but another employee overheard and said "Yeah, that happens". In other words, the employees of this decrepit company seem to understand fully how useless their services are, but still manage to be rude and unsympathetic. This was an avoidable mistake made entirely by UPS, and I received neither apology nor explanation. I will now have to somehow arrange to have the items shipped again at my own cost, but when I had the nerve to suggest this was poor on the part of UPS, I was chased out the door by snarky and dismissive "thanks! goodbye!" from all the employees present. Online vendors, please, please just use Canada Post. I use them for my own small business and have never had a problem.

Holy Cow. This UPS company needs to close its doors and fire…read moreeveryone. Start over because this is a parcel company who does not in fact, deliver any parcels.

Very unprofessional behaviour and unbelievable parking to deliver a package by the driver on…read moreAmaranth Cres in Dartmouth NS this afternoon at 2:19 pm. Also No phone number to speak to an actual person to make a complaint. This driver needs some serious training on how to make deliveries. You do not stop in the MIDDLE of the street to deliver a package BESIDE a parked car so no cars can get around you. You need to pull over to the side of the road - behind a car - not beside it. Nor should the driver be telling a customer "that you haven't gotten laid in awhile" or making cat sounds either in reply to the customer telling you to move over from the middle of the road. Unbelievably unprofessional - this driver needs to be reprimanded and given training on how to do his job. I will NOT be using UPS in future.

I run several small businesses from my home and I appreciate the support I get at my local UPS…read moreStore. It's my first choice for photocopying because they let businesses and groups prebuy copies in bulk (I usually buy 5000 at a time) and let me or anyone designated by me make copies on that account. it's a good deal, financially, and it works well for us. They also have computers so I can bring my files in and have them printed out. Their colour copies produce first rate results on heavy, slightly glossy stock. The store also has a small selection of stationery supplies, a large banner printing machine, fax services, postal boxes, and all the shipping services of UPS. They also sell packing materials and boxes, and will pack anything you might need sent, no matter how odd the shape! The best part of the store is the staff: Kim, the owner and her staff are extraordinarily helpful, supportive, smart and even funny, when appropriate :) I would find it very hard to run a business in Lunenburg without this store.

If 0 stars was an option, I would select it. Twice Purolator…read morehas supposedly attempted delivery for packages. Both times they left a note on the door saying that nobody was home.

A package from Bedford to Dartmouth NS is currently on day 17 of not being available for pickup…read moredespite being in the warehouse the entirety of that time. That is 12 km from shipper to receiver, for context. I was told by a chat agent online it would be available within 48 after I requested I hold it for pickup on the agent's recommendation as I am 'guaranteed' to have it in those 48 hours. That was 209 hours ago and counting. When I went in after the first 48 hours I was told to come back the next day. I came back two days later and was told to come back two days after that. Here we are, three days after that. No update. On contacting Purolator's customer service again I was told to just wait until there was a change on the tracking information before the chat was abruptly closed due to 'inactivity' on my part when responding (I was typing for about 30 seconds). I do not feel a request to escalate the issue to the depot is unreasonable given the circumstances and I believe that I was not treated appropriately during this chat session in particular. It was once out for delivery 14 days ago, prior to my hold request. It was cancelled due to 'weather conditions'. This was after the package arrived at the warehouse the day prior and on a otherwise sunny day. I've been told, repeatedly, that this is a busy time of year and that is the cause of this delay. This is dishonest. No other delivery company I have received anything from over the last month has had any issue whatsoever. Items shipped from out of province to me weeks after this package was sent have arrived on time and in one case 2 days late with transparency as to why / when I can expect it after the first date fell through. This is only a reasonable excuse as to why a package is a few days late; maybe a week at most, not the two weeks it has been stalled on the final (and in my case only) depot. This is not an unforeseen busy period, it is a holiday that happens at the same time every year and an inability or unwillingness to account for that increased traffic is a failure of the business that is passed down to the customers inconvenienced by that lack of responsibility. This delay is due both to incompetence and an indifference to take steps to resolve that incompetence. I will not be using this company for any deliveries in the future.

Basically, having to choose a printer when already on a tight timeline meant turning to the internet for some recommendations which then led me to Halcraft on Robie. In the short few days that they worked on my project, there was just so much right going on. I could immediately tell they were happy to work to complement my style instead of forcing me into theirs. When I called, they called back. When I switched to email, they switched to email. When I threw a whole bunch of details their way in no particular order, they took what they needed out of it instead of insisting I fill out a form or speak their language. It made getting through the initial details a breeze and easily days faster than any other shop I've worked with. Plus, they weren't afraid to help me make choices when I really didn't know what I was talking about. Other shops have insisted I come in to leaf through their stock and make a choice - Halcraft asked what I was using each piece for and made recommendations for each based on my budget, saving me money wherever possible (i.e. 'you know you can save $80 by doing the cuts yourself, right?'). Proofs came a day or two later than I expected but then my entire job was finished the next day rather than a portion and the rest following the next week which is what I was told would happen. It was a nice touch to have that happy surprise to finish off the week!
