I write this because one enters an absurd world here where reasonable standards do not apply. $8 for 4 basic b&w copies. Just horribly overpriced. I even brought in one of the four sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper. A $4 service charge no matter how small the job and strange color copy charges other than the usual 15 cents per b&w print make me regret ever trying to support this local place, again. I can't help but observe how many of the 5-star reviews are from Yelpers with no other reviews or only 0-2 friends. Not a pleasant place in reality. read more

For some reason, this employee says they tried to reach me before. "Something was wrong with email"?? What does this mean? "There was a problem with the email system". OMG A Technical Problem between their email and mine? They have both email addresses And cell number. I finally picked up the cards today. This is above my pay scale. Biz Cards look good. Communication needs lots of work!! read more

I needed to get some brochures printed for my company. They were very easy to work with and efficient. I sent them the files via email and my brochure was printed two days later. Perfect and professionally done. Very pleased with the result and would work with them again for brochures and other marketing assets needs. read more

Been going there about 20 yrs. THEIR WORK IS ABSOLUTELY PROFESSIONAL. People think I am creative and do great stuff, but it is due to what I have printed at Piedmont Copy. Reasonable time and excellent quality (they are very busy because they are popular; do not judge if time is a little delayed).. I do lots of family birthday and holiday greetings, but also documents as handouts for my church. Nancy R. (Oakland) read more

I needed programs done and it was something I thought would take a few days. Brought in a usb and the gal was so nice and understanding in helping me get the imaged sized and providing a sample within minutes. Excellent work. I started with 100 and called back to ask for more not a problem. Cost not too bad either . Quality was superb. Fast work, very nice workers and no complaints about increasing the amount. Definitely will go back for other jobs. read more

Piedmont Copy does excellent work. They are collaborative and respond in a timely manner. We had a rush job that they completed on time, within an hour of the event. We are extremely happy with their service. We've been using them for over 20 years and will continue to do so. Thank you, Fatima, Badar, and everyone else. read more

Piedmont Copy is amazing and I wish I could give them 6 stars! Great service and I've been very pleased with everything they've done. They're a neighborhood business and it's been great to go to them with emergency print jobs (and non-emergency print jobs). read more

SAVE THE DATES - great work on our Save the date invitations! Called and got information and details to send on a Friday . Sent the file on a Friday and was informed would be ready by Monday ! Sizing was different then the file so they contacted me and gave the updated sizing. They even threw in the envelopes with addresses! Everything was ready in 2 hours ! Perfect end result! Hubby and I loved the save the dates ! Highly recommend Piedmont Printing!! read more

I had really high hopes for this place based on the reviews. Great for quick simple jobs (that's what I observed) like ringed binders and simple posters. Fast? Yes. Quality? Ok. However. Helpful? Awful. Customer service oriented? Absolutely, not present. The staff has no clue what is going on, or how to communicate with customers. I witnessed a terrible escalation today between Fatima and a young woman who just seemed to ask normal customer questions. Fatima took the items out of the customers hands and declared she didn't want to sell them to her or work with her. I've never been so shocked at such awful treatment. God forbid they help someone or take time to explain the process of how to properly send files for their formatting, or what a customers options are, and how much they cost. I won't be back. I would never want to support a business like this based on what I saw! read more

Timely, friendly, and awesome! My buddy here was able to work efficiently and printed out A-stand posters AND created a backdrop for me within a 24 hour turn around. He also helped edit the flyer as I sent him the digitized version. I was able to pull off a successful event with the help of Piedmont Copy & Printing because, we know how significant signs and flyers are for these things! read more

I've used Piedmont Copy regularly for years. I have always have small projects. They've always been professional, prompt, and consistently delivered quality items. One time there was a miscommunication and my project wasn't exactly as I had wanted. They quickly addressed the issue at no cost to me. Highly Recommended! read more

I needed an urgent print for an event and decided to use Piedmont Copy and Print due to a referral from a family member. I'm grateful I took that referral as everyone at the shop was super helpful and kind. Before I even came into the shop, the staff made me feel super welcome on the phone by answering all my questions and assuring my requirements. The print job was fabulous and the turn around time was super duper helpful for us. Thank you Fatima! read more

Piedmont Copy & Printing team are life savors! I planned my wedding in 4 months and they were the fastest in the area to respond and get the work done! I loved every project they took care of for me: welcome sign, coloring activity book for kids, seating chart, table numbers, and church programs. The team was lovely to work with! Thank you for helping me to the very last minute! We appreciate you!!! read more

They picked up the phone fast but they don't do livescans.

Still a phenomenonial print shop! I went in yesterday and made a mistake when printing a number of stickers (it was my fault) and when I returned, they immediately took responsibility (I told them it was my fault and not to worry) and reprinted the pages for free. This is the kind of thing that makes repeat customers! In my last review, I mentioned how kind the staff was towards my young son, and now every time I come in without him, they always ask how he is doing and tell me to tell him hello. To me, that really shows how much they care about their customers. Best print shop, hands down. read more

I never ever have reviewed a small business negatively, but the service I experienced was absolutely the worst. I requested a simple postcard to be designed; gave all of the pertinent information for the project. two weeks later I called as hadn't heard from them and was given the run around from Fatima telling me that she was working on the postcard and would email me the file for approval in just "30 minutes" this was said to me on four different days, and nothing was emailed. When the file was finally sent my logo and information wasn't on it and the postcard looked like it was randomly taken from the internet and sent to me I really had high hopes for this place and wanted so much to support a small business in my community however the customer service is absolutely awful. especially Fatima the person I was dealing with is not customer service oriented and has no clue of what is going on. read more

Great service at great prices. Staff is very competent and give great customer service. I've had two large jobs processed at Piedmont Copy and both times the results were beautiful. read more

I came here to have them print a full color booklet for a family member's wedding. Badar was very helpful and patient. He gave me time to review my proofs and suggested I take a second look at a page where the font was very small. The final booklets were beautiful! read more

I'm super-pleased with an order of postcards I had made today. I used to get our holiday cards made at a large/national mail-order printer, but this year I wondered why I'd always done that before and why not go local? So this morning, I called Piedmont Copy & Printing, and one other local (franchise) print shop. Piedmont understood what I wanted and gave me a quote over the phone, and said it was about a day's job. The other print shop told me it would be about 8 business days, and their quote was higher. I called Piedmont Copy in the afternoon to follow up (as I had only gotten the auto-response to my email with file/specs) to see what the ETA was on their confirming the project. I believe I spoke with Fatima, who said that if I wanted to go forward with the project I could pick it up at 6 pm. "What day?" "Today." Today?! What, Piedmont Copy & Printing?! I'm going to have these holiday cards done before the actual holidays? And I'm going to seem like I'm on top of my social-niceties game?! AMAZING. At any rate: the cards look great and they're on a cardstock that seems fine, and I'm mailing them out, like, tomorrow. (Were I to have seen a proof, I'd have asked them to cool the color balance by a hair. just a hair.) Thanks for the friendly, fast service! read more

We used Piedmont Copy to print invitations, foam board signs, guest book cards, and escort cards for our wedding. All of the deliverables were completed promptly, and to our specifications, even with several last minute changes. Piedmont Copy does such high quality work for a great price! Fatima was so accommodating and helpful; the customer service here is truly incredible. We were very pleased with the services rendered by Piedmont Copy, and would highly recommend their services!! read more

Super clean place, responsive staff who work efficiently. The place is well run, offer a lot of services beyond the simple printing and scanning. Am sure I will return back for projects. I have been there many times during the pandemic, it was great to see how well they operated and helped customers with COVID safety protocols in place. Thank you for being there! read more

I needed a ~200ish page job printed and also wanted binding. Fatima answered my initial call and told me how to send the file and when I could expect it to be ready. We emailed back and forth about a few options, and she was patient, friendly, and professional, making sure I had the information I needed. I went to pick up my order and noticed how spacious the space was, which felt particularly good in a pandemic! Even though I'd opted to print the order in black and white as a lower budget choice, Fatima printed the first page in color because she thought it would look better. They used a coil binding that seems durable and like it won't snag too easily on other things. I'm super happy with the finished product, and want to keep supporting this family-owned business! I definitely recommend. read more

Dropped in to print a card I'd designed in a non-traditional design app and the folks at Piedmont Copy were able to help me convert my file for high quality printing and showed me step by step how to cut my prints out to size. Really appreciated the help and the cards turned out great. :) read more

LOVE this place! Terrific service, reasonable prices, and the folks here actually care about the quality of work they deliver. Fatima, Vanessa, Badar -- the whole crew are lovely to deal with and extremely helpful. read more

Best copying shop in Oakland. Fatima provides great customer service. As a school teacher it sometimes more efficient to have some of my copying requirements done here. Like many teachers we pay for things out our own pockets because our school machines are unreliable or copy paper hasn't been provided. My first day syllabus is printed here. They do great work when I send them my files. read more

Service was above and beyond! Will always be printing here. They went out of their way to help me and I truly appreciate that.

This place is a godsend for me, since it is local, and I like going here on occasion when I need a job done as it blows Kinkos out of the waters (which gets a 1 star because they're not all too great anymore-well past anymore). So while it does get a recommendation from me, there's a couple reasons for the 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 stars. First the customer service is less than warm and I get a not much a greeting even after saying hello, or even leaving when wishing them a good evening. Nothing. Not as much as feeling welcomed or valued. The other reason is sort of a breech of personal information. Or me getting someone else's personal sensitive documents. I did an order for some inserts for a record coming out and had to fold all of them. When I came towards the end of the papers needed folded, there were some extra papers, three to be exact. At first I glanced at them, thinking they were the invoices of my order. But instead, one was a form for a dentist. No biggie. Recycle that, then. The other, however, was some personal information from another person that was for some legal thing or something. Since their address was on the form that I mailed it back to them with a note stating where I had gotten the papers from, in error, and hope that they got it. Had it been the opposite where it was sensitive personal information that was MINE and it accidentally went to god-knows-who, that would be scary and unnerving. So I was not happy about that. So there you go. Still recommend them, but they could use more (genuine) customer service, and maybe pay a little more attention of whose papers go to whom. read more

Amazing customer service and excellent printing!! Fatima and Jose went above and beyond to meet our deadline. They stayed after closing to finish our rush print job and were gracious and appreciative of our business. The paper quality and print quality exceeded our expectations and the pricing was reasonable and competitive. We will go to Piedmont Copy for all our projects!! Many thanks for all your help!!! S. read more

I could write a whole love letter about this place. The quality, the communication, the whole staff, every thing about it is amazing. As long as I live in the Bay Area I will always get my prints, calendars, and whatever else I need done here. I love being able to support small family owned businesses that have been around a long time and this is definitely a little gem in the neighborhood. Thank you to Fatima and her family for always going above and beyond!! read more

The woman that helped me print my grandmas funeral programs was amazing, When checking out I pressed 20%tip out of habit because I'm part of the service industry which turned out to be $20 I wasn't expecting :( I hope at least she got it I was pretty upset about that for awhile. read more

Best copy shop! They will do all kinds of print jobs too. Full service, fast, responsive and with excellent customer service.

Sigh of relief! Fatima was extremely patient, understanding, apologetic, and accommodating after some initial confusion with my order (caused by a new employee learning on the job). Fatima even explained how i could save money on the next order, emailed me the design file, and fine-tuned details to produce a fantastic print job. The large postcards made from a multimedia collage are exactly as i wanted, and color quality is super. THANK YOU, FATIMA! read more

Fatima is a life saver! Trying to get a last minute rush copy job during the age of Covid is no small task. Not only was Piedmont Copy there for me in a pinch, but they managed to complete my job despite one of their machines breaking down mid process. Thank you for being a stand up business... 5 stars!!! read more

I'm already planning to go back to them for my next print needs. I've taken three different print jobs to PC&P over the last several weeks and they've done a wonderful job every time. There was one small problem with my first order which was really just a miscommunication and they resolved it very quickly. My next two orders were perfect. And in both cases, I was short on time and they managed to get my printing done on tight timeline as promised. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and the prices are competitive. I would definitely recommend them and plan to be back myself soon. read more

This review relates to passport photos. It was a pleasant and quick experience, so the customer service is great. However the passport photos they took of me were rejected because my image was too small/it was taken too far away from me, or printed and cropped so my image was too small. The photo quality itself was nice but they need to know the specs if they're charging you for a passport photo. I had an emergency passport appointment in person at the agency and luckily they were able to retake the photo, but it would be a major hassle to have your photos rejected from a mail in application, especially with the slow turnaround time for passports now. Comparing side by side the Piedmont pic with the passport agency pic, it's clear they're setting these up incorrectly. read more

I've been coming here for sixteen years. They have done every kind of imaginable job: copies, booklets, posters, banners, labels, postcards, business cards, you name it. I've always been happy with the quality of the work and the service. They pay attention and have more than once caught a mistake of mine before doing the job, saving me time and money. I've recommended Piedmont Copy many many times and I'd like to recommend them to you. read more

Friendly and efficient with reasonable prices! Is there really anything left to say? Love these guys.
