Dear all, as you know, most thesis bookbinding services require at leas 3 working days before you can collect your thesis.

However, there are also many specialists which promise to deliver your work withing 1 - 2 hours.

Is it safe to use these services? Do you know about the quality in such cases?

Thank you.

Firstly, double check that your regs. allow this.

Secondly - varies on quality. Ask around, or ask to see an example of their work.

I took mine to Office World - great because they were open til 8pm, and I had to have my thesis in the next day! They usually have someone who is specially allocated this job, so it's generally no that bad (mine was perfectly acceptable, though they didn't have a very wide range of comb sizes, so the ones I ended up with looked a bit big)

PS - if costs are a worry, buy your own card and film for the covers! This soon adds up (mine cost around £14, just for this)

Great. Thank you very much for your help.
