Stationery Express
Stationery Express is a traditional stationer based in the Morningside area of Edinburgh. With over 25 years of experience, it is our business promise to provide our customers with quality stationery at affordable prices. Established in 1993 by Brian and Gill Burgess, we have the experience to provide you with helpful advice and offer a friendly, personal service to ensure that all your stationery needs are met.

We aim to operate a successful family business based on providing customer service beyond expectation. Our experience enables us to supply a wide range of stationery, office supplies and services to retail customers, as well as business users.

Services
At Stationery Express we have been supplying stationery to a wide range of customers since 1993. Running and organising a small to medium size business, or working from a home office can be tough. Managing the paperwork takes time and space, and there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done.
At Stationery Express we know that the student loan never goes quite as far as it should. But with a bit of savvy shopping on student stationery essentials, you'll have more cash to spend on nights out! We offer 10% discount when you show us a valid student card and Young Scot card for those in full time education (excludes items already on promotion and printing/binding).
Despite predictions to the contrary, paper diaries and calendars remain extremely popular; in fact, many people are returning to them after being let down by their phones and tablets. We certainly couldn't do without ours! Diaries and calendars are very personal; you have to be happy with them - they last a full year.
Your handwriting says a lot about you - and so does the pen you hold. That's why at Stationery Express we carry a range of pens from simple ballpens through to quality fountain pens. This type of pen uses waterbased ink, delivered through a thin slit in the nib. The ink can be housed in a cartridge or convertor which draws ink from a bottle.

My Gran visited this shop a few weeks to ask for help with a broken propelling pencil. The owner was so helpful and spent a good 40 minutes with my Gran to help her get the pencil fixed - and wouldn’t give up until he had fixed it! Would highly recommend, thank you so much 😊 p.s. my Gran says it’s a very well stocked shop!

For all your stationary needs this is a one stop shop. I use them for spiral binding pdfs and they're super cheap.

Impressive selection of pens, especially fountain pens which are not easy to source elsewhere these days. Also a good choice of high quality paper for printing purposes. Friendly, knowledgeable staff

I live abroad and wanted to place and send an order to my aunt in Edinburgh. Stationery Express were just fantastic and could not have been more helpful. Such great service is rare to find. I could not recommend them more highly.

They have an ok selection of pens and stationery, but nothing great like Newington Stationers. Also, the lady who was was working there was quite awful at her job. I was the only one at the shop, but she didn’t speak to me until I asked a question. She seemed annoyed that I’d bothered her.

I was looking to get a family recipe book that was comb bound photocopied for my siblings after the passing of my grandmother. I went to a chain copying shop up the road and was told it was an impossible job and could only be done by destroying the original and the result of the new copies would be poor.
When I got to stationary express I wasn’t overly hopeful, but was told it was absolutely possible and there would be no need to destroy the original. The staff were friendly and understanding and it was a very pleasant and positive experience.
The end result was fantastic, the two copies were
