Cowan Office Supplies Ltd

Everything in the store is over priced!! If you want to spend twice as much for the same product shop here. Or you can go to elsewhere and purchase everything for half the price. If you love to waste your money.. shop here. So far today, from just sharing my awful experience..... 4 people I know have had issues with this store. They have a reputation for being quite rude. Not a good way to run a business... being rude to locals. ouch !! One girlfriend I spoke to said that an owner or employee screamed at her for 5 minutes cause she accidently parked there once. Who yells at potential employees and income sources?? Shes a realtor... spends tons on office supplies!! I purchased an item and left my car for just over an hour after telling the clerk id be back to purchase more. I had about 600$ in cash on me ... that I was looking to spend. Won't ever spend a cent here.On top of this... the man working there insulted me calling me privledge.. well actually the reason i was there is cause my car roof is broken and didn't want what i had just purchased to get stolen. Figured the place i just shopped at would understand and not insult me over it and then charge me 50$ to take a boot off my car!! they don't even donate it ... they keep it for themselves haha who does that to customers. I would give a warning ..especially since I have never done that before and DID NOT see the signs because i was on my phone !! . And i know two past employees that work there and they have had terrible experiences. TRY to improve how you treat people please !! 50$ you made off of me, my friends and family today.. hundreds and hundreds you lose. Enjoy the 50$ . Can I please return items i have purchased in the past ????

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Large variety of stock and the ability to order many items not available in store. Great local store for your office and art needs.

Extremely well stocked store with office, art, school supplies and much more. Efficient, helpful staff. Self-serve photocopiers are well priced and quick.

The staff here were so friendly and helpful to my art supplies queries. Thank you so much to the two ladies who helped me today, you were amazing! I'll definitely be back soon!

Use to shop here regularly, today my wife shopped here then left for 20min to run and grab one more thing. When she came back after being a paying customer the owner of the store had put a boot on our vehicle which in the process of doing scratched our vehicles rim and then charged her $50 cash to remove the boot. Do not shop anywhere that treats customers this way. My wife asked for a receipt for the $50 cash which the owner reluctantly gave as I’m sure he will not be reporting it as income. I would not shop here again and I highly recommend no one else does, Nelson is a small town and word gets around easily of service like this. Shame on you!

Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Clean and well stocked. Great selection of art supplies, pens, notebooks and office chairs.

My go to place in Nelson for Art supplies, making copies and stationary. Always a staff member willing to help out.

My go-to place for high-quality stationery. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of office equipment. A+!
