where I could send a file that I want printed (open house invites in color) ahead of time and then just go in and pick it up? Like picking pictures and sending them to Wal-Mart via Wal-Mart online and then an hour later picking them up. Does that make sense?? :confused:

Probably not. I'm out of it today! My one month old decided that he couldn't sleep unless he was propped up against my chest last night. ALL night. :eek:
 
You can do that with Office Max and we do have a pretty good discount. Call your local Office Max and see where to email your file.
 
Office Depot can do that, too. And we also get a discount there.

Cool! Thanks girls. I really need to get ink for our printer.
 
If you have a FedEx/Kinkos nearby, they offer that service.
 
For black and white copies Office Max gives us about a 50% discount. FedEx is only 15%.
 
BTW, Staples does that too. Lots of choices!
 
And FedEx/Kinkos has inflated copy prices to start with, so the discount takes them down to the full price at other places.
 
I ran into a problem at Staples -- I ordered and submitted on-line and when I got to the store they said that wasn't their price (and it was a LOT of copies) -- the tried to charge me 4 times the on-line quote. (I was doing directories for the family reunion before I was a PC consultant)

I have brought the print out receipt from the web and made them honor the price.
 
OMG Laura. That's such a shame. I worked at Staples in the copy center and I can't imagine doing that.
