Piedmont Systems

This place is a favorite. The staff is very professional, efficient, and helpful, and the pricing is inexpensive; a combination that is truly a rarity. The owner gave us a break on something that we had made the mistake on, something my husband and I genuinely appreciated, and she did not have to do at all. It is this way of doing business that keeps customers loyal and returning, which we will whenever we our in need of their type of services.

Always give excellent customer service. I will not go anywhere else. I make all my copies, faxes, and use there computer.

They are amazing I go here mostly every day to pick up the mail for the office I work for they are the nicest women I have ever met. I love coming here. Keep up the good work

They charge only 25 cents per page to scan documents, very reasonable!

Prices for the services are very reasonable. I started doing business with Ann eons ago. She is very efficient!

These guys are great. Early hours during the week! Drop off for UPS before i go to work. Yay!

I just did a DIY Christmas project on my own paper. Quality printing, friendly service, and the free use of the excellent paper cutter. I love supporting local businesses like this. They are quick, professional, the space is clean and their machines are in good condition.

WHOAH. Better prices on multiple signatures on notarized documents than anywhere else in the a East Bay. Super friendly staff who helped solve multiple problems for us (they were able to scan and email our docs so we didn’t need to make a second stop to fedex them later). Absolutely the best.

How do I cancel my order???

Knowledgeable, professional, available on the spot. Who could ask for more.

$ 1.65 for two printed pages and less than 2 seconds on the internet?! That’s a highway robbery. Id rather scribe everything for 10 days then pay $ 1.50 minimum for internet, $ 6/​hour. Just kidding. It was fast, but bring your stuff on a flash drive people!!!

Quick and courteous for their Notary service! There’s a 5 minute only parking spot just up the block and I was in and out in well less than 5 minutes.

It’s always amazing to me when someone can so gracioulsly smile while charging me just fifteen cents for a transaction. You certainly can’t make payroll on two printed pages, but you certainly can make a friend in doing so.
Great shop, friendly service, good member of the community.

Easy and fast printing and scanning services! No muss no fuss and cheap too. Kinkos, Office Max, and any other chain retailer can suck it. This place is fast and easy. Very DIY. Get in and get out. Best you can ask for.

Great packers.
Awesome customer service. Good packing tape to sell if you need some and are working with your packages at the USPS next door.

This place is a blessing in disguise. Neighborhood establishment. Go Local. Always have flyers full of information about local community events. The proprietor is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Can save money by not having to pay Fedex/​Kinkos pricing for internet, faxing and mailing. They do not have a color copier. Notary fees are low, which is fantastic $ 10. They have basic office supplies if you are in a bind. Also, the Piedmont PO is notoriously slow, Piedmont can do your mailing/​shipping bidding without the wait, any hassle and with low shipping fees.

A very neighborhood-​y place with just what you need, and none of the overhead you don’t want to pay for (think Kinko’s). They’ve got boxes (any size you need), shipping services, mailboxes for rent, some office supplies (for emergencies), a copier and friendly, knowledgeable staff. They don’t work at the speed of light, but they are a staple in my resource list for all things I forget or cannot do from my home-​based business, without the long lines of their competition.

Stopped in today for a notary and it was so quick and easy. I had called around to numerous places who either didn’t answer or didn’t have someone on site. The traffic/​parking can be a bit tricky on the weekend, but just bundle it with some window shopping in this adorable neighborhood. $ 10/​signature and the notary is available during all business hours.

One of my dearest friends is going through a lot of hassles that I had to go through five years ago. Her father recently passed away and she’s been faxing, FedExing, and signing legal paperwork like it’s going out of style. I remember that nightmare when my parents passed away. It literally eats you alive.
Despite the fact that this process has been treacherous and she’s grieving, Piedmont Systems has done as much as it can to ease her paperwork woes. They FedEx and fax all of her stuff. In fact, they will even receive faxes for her… which is nice because the people who handle her insurance stuff have not learned how to convert documents to emailable PDFs (WTF?!) and who has a personal fax machine anymore?!
Once she told me about this amazing local place that’s around the corner from her apartment (I couch-​surfed at her place this week), I realized that they could probably help me too!
I went wine tasting in Livermore on Sunday and I ended up with more bottles than I could consume in California. (I’m not that big of a lush… one bottle was purchased for me by a man I met during my Fenestra tasting). The reason this is a problem is because I was nervous about wine breaking in my checked luggage.
Shipping to yourself seems like a perfectly logical option until you remember that you live in a Blue Law state! Yikes! Well, I decided to ship to my friends in New York instead… I was going there this weekend, after all. :)
Piedmont Systems has very helpful staff and there are no long and annoying lines like at FedEx or the Post Office. Additionally, you’re supporting a local business.
Better news for me? I was able to ship my wine to New York for less money than it would cost me to check my luggage. (I did have to buy a special case at BevMo though… not sure what the box options were like at Piedmont Systems).

$ 2 to send a one-​page fax!!!
That is all.
