    Funny you should mention that P4Tel, I saw a binder mechanism in my local store and did think it would be useful for binding uni stuff for submission. I think it was about a tenner give or take.

    My store expects to close in 'about 8 weeks'. Some stock has 50% off, but so far most of the reductions are 20% or 30%.

    I've also tried to check out their website (as I'm sure everyone else reading this thread has done) only to be met with the message:
    Site Under Construction.
    Thank you for your patience, whilst we restructure this website

    Apparently, you can access the site via http://www.stationerybox.co.uk/index.php but parts appear to be a little out-of-date:
    Stationery Box Ltd will be opening new stores in 2004, from January onwards. This will create many new vacancies and we are recruiting now for Store Managers and Assistant Managers.......

    I swa a apot on here about stationery box closing down (but can't find it now!) and went in stuff is very cheap eg beautiful a5 notebooks 39p ideal for kids gifts with choccie

    lots of choccie bars 12p

    packs of brown/patterened covered notebooks small size 79p and 3 for 2 as well
    All sorts and prices cheaper than on items

    But may close any day have a look if you pass by

    jiffy bags/envelopes/printer paper
    also office swivel chairs £10 and desks too
  • I went in about a week ago and was after a cross-cut shredder (not the most exciting thing to buy!) but they had lots of stuff left, and reductions varied "up to 50%" depending on what it was.

    As time goes on i think reductions may get bigger and apply to most items.
