Typewriters. Yep, they still exist. And people still use them. Some anyway. One of those…read morepeople is in my family. And the typewriters get used a lot. Daily. Often for a few hours. I've been known to scour eBay looking for ribbons. And then one broke. The backup was immediately put in its place. And then that stopped working too. And then the search started for a repairman. The place one had been repaired in the past was long gone. So we called a bunch of places. No luck. We stopped by one. Didn't look open. And then we got a call. Someone used their caller id and saw we called. And called us back. And said they could take a look at the machine and let us know what they thought. So off to Myron street we went. A street off Kenmore. We dropped off the machines and a few days later got a call back. One was fixed and the other would take a little longer. Fine. We picked up the one. The other came a week or so later. The price was reasonable, at least for something that requires real specialized knowledge. These types of skills are disappearing with the actual typewriters. So if you ever need a typewriter repairman, I'd try here first. But call ahead, he's not open all the time, this isn't a store, it's a repair shop. So call ahead and find a time that works for you both.

When you need to ship something FedEx overnight after five pm, there aren't many FedEx locations…read more But Office Max is one of them. Armed with paperwork and a prepaid printed label,I went there for a FedEx envelope. No need for a FedEx envelope anymore ! The associate used an Office Max box( very reminiscent of a shirt box) for my paperwork and taped it up. Let me first say this associate was an absolutely wonderful person. Cheerful and courteous. But I can't say I've seen anything taped quite that way before. When it arrived at its destination, the recipient said it was held together by one piece of tape. FedEx delivery said that box should not have been sent that way. Not sure why FedEx didn't say anything to Office Max.... Not sure why associate wrapped it that way. Not sure why I didn't step in and tape it myself. Moral of the story , you don't need FedEx envelopes anymore. Tape your packages yourself.

I had not been in an office supply store in years, and forgot how much fun they are. There are all…read morethe things you would expect to find - paper, pens, desks, chairs, organizers, etc. There are also things I had not expected like the giant popcorn tins that everybody brings to the office during the holidays, and tins of butter cookies that are probably not filled with sewing supplies yet. Prices seemed reasonable, average for what I see at other places. Large aisles and good lighting, although it was not especially easy to find specific things without asking for help; signage could be better. The fourth star is because one of the employees went above and beyond trying to find something for me that was not on the shelf (just the tag and an empty space) but was listed in their inventory system that they had it. I really appreciated that extra effort!
