Here's the edited review:
I intended to buy 50 or more pieces of colored A4 paper from this shop, but I noticed that the price was written directly on each sheet. I found it strange and disappointing, as it made the paper feel like it was in ‘pre-owned’ condition. If I bought them, I would have to erase the price from each sheet myself, which would be very inconvenient. Additionally, the elderly staff member (a lady) was rude and unhelpful, which further added to the unpleasant experience. Because of this, I decided to leave without making a purchase.

I don't know if the lady at the counter (Shirah) is having a bad day or something, but I just simply asked if I could throw a tissue in the three-quarter-full bin right behind her, and she looked at me as though I'm some kind of peasant who asked her to eat the tissue. Then she rudely told me to go outside and throw it away. If the bin was empty, I'd understand if it's 'mafan' to clear, but it was almost full, and you can't even help a customer throw something away? I'm not sure who's handling training and customer service standards. Please fire that person.

Plain and simple, this was heaven for me as a stationery enthusiast! The options were so good and varied, pricing was reasonable, and it's great for buying gifts, too! (10/10 would visit again if I'm ever in Singapore again.)

Super rude lady at the store, Nur Shirah. She seemed like a person not wanting to work. She had an attitude problem when my wife asked her if she could pay by PayWave. She explained in an impatient way that it was down. Please remove her from the store. I would never go back if she's there.

This is the best place for buying gifts and souvenirs. And also for people who like Ghibli Studio, cute things, and cute stationery!

I've bought stuff in the shop a few times. Until today, I didn't realize they don't allow photos in the shop, even if you're just taking pictures of your friends. It's a stationery shop, not a museum or a customs office. They're certainly "generous" when it comes to putting prices on the tags—the stuff is not cheap. I definitely won't go again.

I went into the shop on 25 Feb 2025 at about 7.50pm. I wanted to do some printing. So I approached the counter and politely asked the **Malay Lady Wearing Specs and Tudung**, “Can I do some printing?” She rudely replied NO! What kind of customer service is this? At least she should have replied, "Sorry, we do not have printing services." It's a terrible experience being in the shop. Thanks NBC Stationery and Gift - Bugis Junction for providing such services.

I had a disappointing experience at this stationery store due to the extremely poor attitude of one of the staff members. An auntie was telling customers not to draw while they were simply testing the pens, which is the whole point of having testers available. Her tone was unwelcoming, and her behaviour made the entire shopping experience uncomfortable. In retail, especially in a stationery store, basic courtesy and a welcoming attitude should be the minimum. I won’t be returning.

Here's the lightly edited review:
"I can always count on them for all my needs: gifts, cards for all occasions, stationery, and more. The store is really well-stocked with cards of unique designs, materials, and shapes. The counter staff is also extremely patient and helpful in recommending items to suit my needs. The store is conveniently located within Bugis Junction. Thank you, team!"

A rude retail staff member (an older lady) insisted we take the unwrapped plushies from their back stock and refused to let us take the wrapped display ones. We weren't aware that they had stock in the back, and that the display pieces were purely for display. When asked if we could choose from the stock, she grumpily replied, “all the same. aiya choose what choose, all same.” However, the plushies clearly looked different. Why the rude attitude?
She ended up giving us 2/3 of the display pieces we originally chose. So what's so hard about letting us choose our pieces, and if the display pieces can be sold to us in the end, why couldn't we take those?
