Paper Source

my all-​time favorite retail paper store! from greeting & notecards to wrap and everything in between, they have unique & a beautiful array of merchandise to buy. plus they have great gifts for hostess, girlfriend, family or kids. they even wrap gifts. their inventory is always in stock from the catalog so I can checkout at a store or buy online. plus, the staff is super friendly and extremely helpful.

Be careful what you buy! I’m not sure if this is the case for ALL Paper Source locations, but I’ve worked several retail jobs and I know there are ways to provide better customer service than this.
The manager (Colleen) won’t give you credit or allow an exchange if you’re honest and tell her that you used 1 sheet from a pack of paper to do a test print; HOWEVER if you «forget» to mention this, apparently you’d have no problems returning it.
I bought a pack of cover paper for DIY wedding invitations and was told these papers were made to be printed on a laser printer. There were no other warnings or information on how or where to print these, and I was reassured I could bring them back if for some reason it didn’t work out. In short, I was misinformed and the results were terrible. it was too thick and didn’t feed correctly so it printed crooked, and the paper came out with deep indentations. When I explained this to the manager (Colleen), she replied that she sends her customers to a specific print shop for this type of paper. And that «well, it did end up printing on the paper», so she wouldn’t offer an exchange or credit. Considering that there were no warnings or signs with this information in the store area or labeled on the packs, I assumed she would allow an exchange just once. but no. Oh well, they lost an honest customer over 1 piece of paper.

I do not know why people gave paper source such negative reviews. I love paper source. They have a wonderful selection of stationary to choose from and fun crafts and gifts. Every time I write thank you notes or cards for special occasions, I always get compliments on the stationary that I selected from paper source. In addition to stationary they also have fun note pads that are very amusing. my personal favorites is a note pad with a list of reasons on «Why I must have sex with you» and another note pad with a list of «things you should do to keep me happy». The only thing about this store which I can now see maybe y some people gave it bad reviews is the pricing. I will admit their stationary is not cheap. However, if you need go quality stationary to write various cards for various occasions this is the place to go.

I used to absolutely love this place. It has so many novel gift-​y things, great for people into scrapbooking and crafts.
But, it has failed me twice this summer. The first time I can hardly blame it… I was looking for graduation-​themed wrapping paper in mid-​June, and nobody on the North Shore, from Target to the Container Store to Stationery Station to, well, Paper Source, had it. The best thing, though, was Paper Source’s suggestion: «You could just buy some paper… and some stamps… and make it yourself!»
Please, now.
The second time, my search was less specific. I needed invitations for a tea party. Anything vaguely tea-​themed would work. I went into the store, and they even had coffee-​themed invitations, as well as lots of pretty colored/​patterned ones… But nothing tea-​themed. Their suggestion: «You could just buy some paper… and some stamps… and make it yourself!»
They are definitely a source of paper. And stamps! But most things… you’ll apparently have to buy some of the former… and some of the latter… and make it yourself!
