Default Office stationery suppliers?

Hi

I've about had my fill of suffering years of poor packaging from Viking. Another order arrived yesterday, with 3 out of 4 boxes lost & the top ream in 2x 5 ream A4 paper boxes damaged from flat cable ties.

Are there any other office stationery suppliers out there with a good range of product choice?

They are pretty competative.

wave a carrot at them and they'll give you a good price.

worth trying Office Depot (they own Viking) Advantage is that they seem cheaper & they deliver in there own vans so should take more care. tel 0870 1429898

Try yellow pages and your local stationary suppliers. They all have vast catalogues and offer discounts here there and everywhere. Most deliver same day or next day and will probably cost same as Viking.

Also online there is net-stationers, who I have used in the past. Good service, next day delivery by courier, but I had problems as I paid online, and somewhere that goes wrong. They seem to expect youto pay on-invoice and don't reconcile the two. Hence you get chased as if you haven't paid if you pay online. May have changed now
