A1 Copy

Best place, best price and honest service in town. Love this place!!!

Like many others, I agree with how cost efficient copying here is. This place is a steal with the quality they provide. Although I haven’t try out copying color pages, I can confidently say that the black and white copies are at the same level of quality that I usually get from Staples and Fedex.
Also, thumbs up to the lady for her honesty and hard work! Cash only, quick and easy, and for sure a recommendation

I just recently copied my last semester books to keep so I can always go back on it to read what I missed. I pretty much don’t read any of the chapters that are assigned anyways but the books contain a lot of information that I need for the future. 3 books rounded to about $ 90 total. Pick it up the next day. Cash only. No complaints. Quick and simple. I’m also not Vietnamese but I do understand how to greet them in a manner of respect. They know I’m not Vietnamese when I respond in English but i do say thank you in Vietnamese to the lady. It makes her smile LOL

Called on the phone and the person spoke zero English. I couldn’t even ask one question.

She said, «Tsk tsk tsk, That’s a loooot of pages.» as she looked through the book I wanted her to copy. Lady! It’s your job to copy pages! But it’s ok, I didn’t take offense to it because I understand that sometimes Asians are just really blunt, and their natural dialect may not always be was friendly as American tones. $ 34 to copy a book that would have costed me $ 200. I am quite pleased.

I have been here once, i like place, the service is not bad, the price is cheap compare to others.

I’ve had many things copied here and have had a great experience every time!
I noticed that a lot of the reviews mentioned that the old couple is rude… I do agree that they are not super friendly, but as long as you are cordial and polite, they will treat you well/​nicely.
The pricing is extremely cheap, quality is great, and the lady is very honest. I wanted to make copies of a certain book and she advised me not to as she had seen a cheaper alternative elsewhere.
I dropped off 5 books on a Wednesday and she said they would be ready for pick up as early as Friday!
Make sure you keep the little business card she gives you, that’s your receipt! It’s CASH ONLY and she will tell you exactly how much it will cost before you leave. Also, she does not ask you to put a deposit or partial payment down when you drop off the books like some other places.

Great prices!!! I have used A1 for a few projects and they are great. Place is a little cluttered and the owner speaks little English but still able to get good quality service.
Normally it takes a few hour for prints but the owner was nice enough to rush and do my order in less than an hour since I had driven about an hour to get there and needed it done for a presentation that night :)

The service is not horrifying as described. Come on now, the owners don’t speak fluent English and they’re humans. Of course they’ll get grumpy with the overwhelming amount of books coming in. Yes, they profit but not much so cut them some slack.
Info for copying textbooks:
For a textbook with about 800 pages, I paid $ 43.
Hardcover & papercover textbooks can be copied.
Every page is black and white.
Usually takes 2 – 3 days to finish an order.
Cash only (Don’t have to pay until the day you pick up the books.)

I’ve been going here since my freshmen year and it’s always been nice. It’s just business; the lady asks you what you want and you tell her. You make a down payment and come back later to pick it up.
Vietnamese policies apply:
You’re dissatisfied? LOL OK YOU WANT THE COPY OR NO?
You’re using card? LOL
You’re offended by their rudeness? LOL PLEASE I AM YOUR ELDER. YOU RESPECT ME.
She’s always been nice to me though.

Customer service is okay, but you get what you pay for… and you’re not even paying MUCH! This place has probably saved me 100s of dollars already in books. They do basic copying of your book for a great price. To be honest, if you don’t like the way they do business then just buy the book full price at your college if it such a big deal? Like i said you get what you pay for, and they do a great job for the price they ask compared to the pricing of what colleges ask for their books.

For those of you who are complaining about the owners, shame on you. Obviously, you have no respect for your elders. Give them a break. Sometimes shit happens and you can’t always have it your way. These people were honest about the prices and my books were better than what I expected it. I am very fortunate to save so much money this semester. Thanks so much! And I made a Unilocal account, just so I can give them a good review!

I was introduced to this place by a classmate and I am truly indebted to A1 Copy for saving me easily $ 1,000.00 in just two semesters of college. The couple that works this shop reminds me of my parents, so I don’t really care that they do not seem very friendly or customer service oriented. With the amount of money that you are saving me, you don’t have to give me a big smile. It’s very simple, you take them your textbooks and you come back in a few days and your textbooks are ready.

VERY RUDE COUPLES that work there! This was my very first first time here…
Came here to get copies of my loose-​leaf booklet and bindings for them. However, I wanted my cover copy in color, exactly like my pdf file. It’s saved in PDF for a reason, so the custom font and everything prints AS IS. Front page is color and the rest is black and white. I put them in order for a reason and needed EXACTLY 32 copies.
Apparently not… I had black fonts and borders on my cover page, it printed out as a light gray in some area and black there. So I promptly asked «why is my color copy like this? My pdf file is not like this.» Man: «you want it or not? Our printer prints like that.» Well, duhhhh… if your printer is a problem broken or you need to fix your printer. I am paying you to do your job. If your printer is not working, you shouldn’t be open for business. OMG the lady even said: «take it or leave, but pay me 1.50 for (2 b&w copies and 1 color copy)» Me: Sorry, you can have it back.
Your little shop is a printing/​copy business. I think you need to be more competent with your equipments and know what is wrong and right…
I wasn’t even rude to them. Came here to do what I need to do. Left with uncompleted business. I politely spoke to them in Vietnamese as if I were to spoke to anyone and in a professional manner.
Never coming back again! This place is filthy too! Messy work environment that violates OSHA laws & regulations too.

Really? 50¢ for a color copy if you have less than 50 pages? This lady must be outta her mind. There’s no justification for that price. As soon as we saw that we turned around and left. She knew full well that was too much. She even said its very expensive. Ha! So make some changes LOL

This place saves you a lot of money. I realized you’ll probably get better service from the owner if you speak Vietnamese to her. I thought she was a really nice person in contrast to all the bad reviews about her being rude.
The first week of school is probably the worst week to bring in your books, thats when she stresses out the most.
I only gave this place a ⁴⁄₅ because the first time I brought my books to get copied, she misplaced the actual books which made me almost shit myself. LOL I had to wait about 15−20mins when she was frantically searching for my books. Make sure you take pictures of the book covers with your phone before she takes them, so it is easier for her to find.
Overall, good place to copy expensive ass text books.

I come here to get some textbooks copied before school starts each semester. The lady who you would have to talk to to get your books copied is Vietnamese and isn’t so friendly. However, she does get the job done. She’ll count how many pages she’ll need to copy and will tell you the total afterwards. Then she will ask you for your phone number. She’ll give you their business card and write your books information and price on the back and the date of when to return to pick up your books on the back of it. Make sure you keep that receipt! You will need it in order to pick up your books. Sometimes when your textbook is thick, the copied version will be split up into two books instead of one because they use regular white paper and not the thin paper like the ones in the original textbooks so the books get pretty thick.
I don’t know if its legal to do this or not but this place sure saves college student’s money. If it wasn’t for this place, I would be spending about half a grand on books that I will never use again after the semester is over. But thanks to A1 I only spend about a hundred something bucks each semester.

Great place to get stuff copied/​printed. I always come here because of the prices. It is extremely cheap, cheaper than any place I’ve ever been to (I’ve been to quite a few) and you can get pretty much anything copied here (if you know what I mean, ahem, textbooks). You go to some American place– they will not copy your books for you.
For those complaining about the service: have you never met old Vietnamese people? That’s just how they are: straight forward and intolerant of slow/​dumb people. But you probably came for the great pricing, not the service so just suck it up. If you live around the area, you should know by now how Asian-​town residents behave so you shouldn’t be surprised about the service anyway. They get the job done and save you a ton of money. You win some you lose some, I guess.

Dropped off some LSAT prep books that i needed copied.
The books were about 190pages front back.
For all three books paid under 90 $. They only needed 24hours to complete the work.
Was an awesome experience. A bit out of the way for me coming from Yorba Linda, but definitely worth going the distance.
Thanks Unilocal for connecting me with this place, and thanks A1 for the awesome services you offer.

Saving me sooo much money since freshman year!
It’s 4.5 cents per page and binding is $ 3 or $ 4.
If your textbook has too many pages they won’t even bother (I’ve tried hahaha)
They get busy when each quarter starts so I try dropping off my books early so I don’t have to wait a week. I can usually pick up my books the same or next day.
Hope your school has a good refund policy ;)
