Have you ordered stationery online? It seems to be much cheaper and easier, especially if you run a small business. Share any tips/horror stories here.

I have used VistaPrint succesfully. They do very cheap items from a range of templates - a lot of which suit a lot of the time. They also do some items "free" you pay postage and they have vistaprint advert on the back. I signed up for their rewards scheme - this was not deliberate - and it took me a couple of phone calls to stop the monthly couple of quid coming directly from the credit card account, so watch out for tha. Other than that I was quite satisfied

I just read Moneymagpie's buying stationery article (http://www.moneymagpie.com/article/buying-stationery/16) and it was really useful.

I have found the following sites to be good: Try www.cheapstationery.co.uk Excellent customer service at excellent prices. Also, try www.theinklab.co.uk Again good service and good prices. They also can advse on computers and accessories.

Found a new Stationery site that is really cheap and worth a visit.

Its www.GR8stationery.co.uk

They dont spend a fortune on advertising their site. I was lucky to find it when looking through the westend site (http://www.glasgowwestend.co.uk/) for accomodation close to Glasgow Uni.

I guess what they are saving on advertising on Google is going towards cheap prices?

Good discounts for students. Though you dont know this till you reach the checkout. Put in the code "student" and get the discount.

I emailed and asked them about discounts for students and they gave me the code. - Easy-Peasy.

 

 

I have worked in the office supplies industry for a number of years now and I know that the companies listed by Moneymagpie are far from being the cheapest.  For example, the company I work for at present sells paper for less than £2.00 a ream and it never charges a delivery charge no matter what size the order is.  I'm quite happy to tell you more about this company or give advice about office supplies. tony-hill@sky.com
