Kinkos = FAIL
ARGH. I wasted like an hour today with stupid Kinkos, trying to get a nice corflute sign printed up for WWKIP Day tomorrow. I was given a price brochure at the North Sydney branch and it lists the price as $50. I emailed the head city branch and asked whether it was possible to get one printed to pick up at noon tomorrow. The guy wrote back and said yes, so I sent them through the file and requested that they confirm the price for me. He never responded, so after an hour I rang them up. Turns out that guy had gone home for the day. The night guy had to ring me back about three times, finally letting me know that my sign had already gone into the production queue, would be ready “by 4pm” tomorrow, and would cost $140. WHAT??

After much to-ing and fro-ing, in which it became apparent that the price in the brochure is for the sign alone – NOT THE PRINTING – I cancelled it. Very frustrated. I really wanted us to have a nice sign. 🙁
