👍👍 One of the cutest shops ever! Good sale items always. Staff are very friendly and it’s always nice to chat with them. The phone-case I bought today was originally $20, but was on sale and I bought it for $3! 🙂 The quality is really good. Thank you team x People often mention items, store, time,

    I love the selection of items at Typo and always look around at new season stuff. I love all the pop culture things and the variety of stationery. My favourite products are the writing books and pens. The smooth pens have such nice ink and are great to write with. The staff are helpful and are fantastic at what they do.

    I visited the store today and found the staff condesending when I asked some questions. She was very rude when she talked to me. I know customer service you have to be fakely care for your customer but this was extremely rude at least fake it better. The time when I visited was around 1 pm.

    Terrible customer service from the manager. As a manager I'm so disgusted that a person like that works in this business. Will not return. The manager was rude and refused to wrap a parcel to protect a box from getting ruined. Then she was confrontational and her tone very argumentative. The part timer was lovey and was trying to excuse the manager terrible behaviour. She also refused to give her name and said go tell head office about me then. Which I did. Disgusting example of someone in this role.

    Omg terrible customer service. Lm Google the closing time for the store was shown as 7pm, at 6.02 pm was told to either grab something or leave. I did grab an item and was trying to pick another one, which made the sales assistant infuriated. There was no rudeness from my side, such treatment was not deserved and absolutely not appropriate. Will take my money elsewhere.

    Typical Typo and I mean it as a compliment. Some great fun and quirky stuff to buy and at a reasonable price. Some really cool stationery stuff.

    This is not a store, it's an experience! I love the interesting and quirky merchandise. A step above the ho-hum of the stores trying to be quirky. Makes me happy!

    Nice shop with loads of cute stuff. Bought some watercolours, haven’t tried them yet.

    We manage to get the ideal gifts from this great store. This made Christmas shopping much much easier for me and my wife! Besides that Do you have a white variety of cool gadgets, unique items. Customer service is great and the staff are friendly as! Typo Will never fail to surprise us, each week or two you will see they update the display and introduce new items will see you at the Queen’s store. Story short, they carry the cute or cool items that we got the empty gaps in one’s life! Highly recommend it to all busy too, students and locals.

    Today I've returned for the second time the same product, fist time because a missing piece and second time because the product wasn't working. And I had the chance to face probably one of the best manager. Nice, sweet, made all the effort to make sure I was leaving happy. He even tried the product before I left to be sure I wasn't coming back again. Big big thank you for the 2 staff working today. Such sweeties

    Nice shop

    I love this place! They so many novelty items for a cheap price. They often have sales (when I went in, they had 70% off everything), so keep an eye out for any flash deals as they are usually a good bargain. They also partner with various iconic shows, like Harry Potter, FRIENDS, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine so you can get items themed around those shows. I got a "How you doin'?" (FRIENDS reference) mug for real cheap recently as well as new notebooks! Definitely would come again!

    Staff is super friendly and helpful. I got what I wanted and they have bargains running all the time. Everyone liked the gifts I picked and I'd recommend typos to anyone in the city to stop by for shopping.

    I was three Sunday, the people on the counter were rude when I asked about some misleading signage that show a “sale price” on one section on the store. The customer service was non existent for myself or for other clients.
