I had some business cards printed for a client with Express as I have used them once before and the result was fast and to standard. The reason I tried them was that my usual printer doesn't print the style required for these jobs, and after my first experience, I thought I would try them again.

Firstly, the file didn't submit properly, apparently there was a virus in their system, which I understand happens. So when I resubmitted, I heard nothing for a week. Turns out there was a numeral missing on the print job which put it on a completed list or something along those lines. That was OK, I talked to a member of staff who was helpful and assured me the job would be done.
By now my client was getting annoyed with waiting, which then looks bad for my business.
Finally the job arrived, 7 days later.
The quality was shocking. The cards were off colour, instead of yellow they were almost khaki green, with faint black streaking throughout the gradients. My customer was desperate to have them, so I heavily discounted them and lost out on money (there was no way I could charge them full price).
I contacted Express 3 times about the issue (I even asked if there was a problem with the artwork supplied) and heard nothing for a while, and then finally received an email response and was asked to send some samples.
I sent the samples in November (it is now January) and I still have had no response. I am disheartened at the amount of time wasted, and I just don't have the time to keep chasing them, hence why I am here instead.
I am extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism, and will not be using their service again.

Approximate cost: $250

I buy paper for my business directly from the mill which means it comes to me in a large unusable size. Twice now I have asked Speedex if they could guillotine it for me and they have not only said yes, but have done so immediately without making me come back later to pick it up.
The staff are great, really friendly and even remebered me and what I did after 12 months between visits. Now that's great service!
Oh, and the cost was minimal, always a bonus. Definitely want to spread the word on these guys :)

This review is for Suger, St Kilda VIC

Our visit was on Saturday 29th of August around 9.30-10 pm. It was a spur of the moment visit, complete with unruly children and we were completely under-dressed (I was on a quest for quality coffee and desert). We were greeted and seated and our waitress attended to us promptly.
She bought out pencils and paper for the kids to draw on and even made my 3 year old's request of "chocolate tea".
I had the sticky date pudding, which was the best I have ever tasted. It was so moist and rich and exactly what I was after.
My partner ordered a chocolate pudding that he was really impressed with also. The kids had gelati which was a hit with them.
There was a great ambience too, completed by the fireplace.
We will definitely be going back to try a meal sometime in the future.

This review is for McDonalds, Taylors Lakes VIC

I know, I know, it's McDonald's! Which is WHY I had to put this review up. I went through drive-thru tonight and the voice at the other end of the speaker was happy and patient. Then at the payment window she was still smiling and friendly and then at the collection window, the attendant there was just as friendly. The order was spot-on, my coffee exactly how I asked for it and I didn't have to wait for it!
Very convenient and my faith has been restored in drive-thru coffee purchases again!

What a fantastic idea! Everything I need right here in front of me! Word of mouth is definitely the way to go these days... any dodgy business can pay for great advertising. Thanks for such a great resource for us Melbournians.

A friendly team that made me feel comfortable as soon as I arrived. My hairdresser, Renee, gave me a great rock-star haircut that really suited the texture of my hair. She chose a fantastic colour that matched my complexion and personality. I can't wait to let her at my hair again =)
