When I came the next day I was told that "if it was true" that I had actually called the day before, I would need to come back on Monday to speak with whoever I spoke to before. I explained I lived far and needed the part asap. The guy did not even attempt to look for what I needed. This is not the first time such lack of care has happened to me at this place. I was also not told on the phone that they had moved. It is the small things that determine if a business survives.

I called and they were friendly and helpful, giving solid advice and offering to have my flyers printed the next morning, even though it was less than an hour until their closing time. When I picked up the flyers I was blown away. SO much nicer than any I've ever had printed. Really high quality printing, color depth, and paper quality. I can't wait to get them out! I then came back for business cards when I realized I didn't have enough for an event coming right up. They offered important guidance on the printing files and printed them same day; they turned out great. I admit that I, like so many people, often turn to online services these days. But working with Business with Pleasure was the perfect reminder that good humans are still out there actually answering their phones, doing high quality work, and providing the kind of service that automation simply cannot replicate. I'll be coming back to BWP for all of my printing needs from now and and recommending them to friends and colleagues. Five stars plus!
