Cheap place to buy stationery

Is there somewhere I haven't thought of that I can buy stationery, bits and pieces?

Thanks

We use viking direct for most stationery type things, inc printer cartridges, but last time I bought envelopes, I got them from ebay, simply because I didn't want to buy 1000 at a time, and WH could only sell me packs of 25, which wasn't enough, and expensive.

I think there was a guy who sold 200 at a time, (peel and seal, to go thru my printer) for a reasonable price.

If you want letterheads and business cards, you could do worse that join the business UK forum. Several of their members offer decent printing deals for such stuff.

I use Viking Direct as well, but you have to do an order of over £40 to get free delivery, and have to have somewhere to store the boxes. It is so much cheaper than buying from somewhere like WHSmith though, and very convenient to always have an envelope when you need one!

brilliant, thank you so much!

Viking free delivery actually for orders of £30 (before VAT, £34.50 total).
I try to co-incide with buying ink catridges or paper, which generally gets us to the £30 mark with no trouble.

I don't know what you mean about storing the boxes. I just flatten ours and bung them in the recycling bin (unless I'm selling stuff on ebay, in which case they're very useful).

I was meaning the full boxes - once you have 3 different sizes of envelope, both with and without windows, in multiples of 500, you can end up with a towering pile of full boxes (or is that just me and my envelope fetish?!?). I work in the dining room so we try to keep it tidy. I've solved it by buying a sort of sideboard thing which hides most of the junk away, and storing anything which won't fit there in DD2's bedroom!
