Outstanding kindness and consideration from Louise

I visited the Kidderminster Max Spielmann store yesterday for a passport-style photo, and I want to highlight the outstanding service I received from Louise. She showed genuine kindness, compassion, and professionalism at a moment when I really needed it.

Louise went above and beyond without hesitation, and her understanding made a real difference to my day. She treated me with dignity, didn’t ask unnecessary questions, and showed the kind of humanity you don’t often see in customer service.

She is a real asset to Max Spielmann, and her kindness deserves to be recognised. Thank you, Louise, and thank you to Max Spielmann for having such exceptional staff.

Fantastic service from Max Spielmann at Three Bridges, Crawley, and especially from Eloise, helping with an emergency need for some large format prints for an important family function after a set of previously prepared prints had been left at home. Great quality, great value, great service - thank you Max Spielmann and especially Eloise.

Chris is a lifesaver! 5 Stars

"I cannot thank Chris at the Dunfermline Asda Max Spielman kiosk enough. I was trying to get a photo scanned for my mother’s 80th birthday cake, but the bakery scanner was down and I was told I'd have to drive all the way to Kirkcaldy. As a bit of a 'technophobe' with very little time, I was gutted.

I turned to Chris, who has helped me before, and he didn't hesitate. He immediately took charge, scanned the photo, and put it onto a USB drive to ensure the bakery could use it. Because of his kindness and 'no problem' attitude, my mum had the perfect cake for her big day. He truly went above and beyond and made her 80th birthday incredibly special. Exceptional service!"

Dear Customer Services,

Dear Customer Services,
I am writing to compliment one of your staff members, Sam, at the Max Spielmann Wigan branch.
I wanted to create a memory photo wall for my husband, as he has sadly lost siblings over the last few years. I needed photographs and frames in a variety of sizes, and Sam went out of her way to help me. If the branch did not have the correct frames in stock, she sourced them from other branches for me.
Throughout the whole experience, Sam was extremely kind, courteous, and professional. Nothing was too much trouble, and I cannot thank her enough for all of her help. She is a real credit to your company.
I will certainly be recommending the Wigan branch to all of my friends and family. Please could you pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to Sam.
Kind regards,
Margaret Atkinson

Your kind words about her care, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile—especially sourcing items from other branches—are greatly appreciated.

We will be sure to pass your heartfelt thanks and recognition on to Sam. She will be delighted to know the difference she made.

Not trustable

I placed a large order of photo's to be printed and recieved it 2 weeks late. Once i opened the parcel and checked the first batch the images were ALL cropped so not one image was a full picture. The whole order had this issue and very bad quality. So MAX SPEILMANN ruined all my images and when i contacted them they said the images were cropped from before meaning we cropped them so we could recieve them cropped!!!! Totally ruined the images...why would they do that?.

Reply from Max Spielmann

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate how frustrating this must be, especially with such a large and important order.

From what you’ve described, it looks like the images were already set to a cropped format during the upload stage, which would then carry through to printing. We understand this may not have been what you intended.

If you’re still unhappy with the results or would like us to take a closer look, please get in touch with our customer care team at customer.support@timpson.com

Max Spielmann in Leeds Trinity:

Max Spielmann in Leeds Trinity:

I went to the shop to ask about t-shirt printing and was told it cost £12. The employee said I could bring my own cotton t-shirt.
Three days later, I returned and a different staff member warned the print might not come out well on cotton. I accepted the risk, but the result was terrible — faded colours and very poor quality.
Worse, when I got home, I noticed a stain on the t-shirt, like food or liquid.
Overall: very poor customer service, bad printing, and no care for customers’ belongings. Definitely my first and last visit. I do not recommend.

photo booth gives incorrect photo selected Spanish visa no where does it state what format. But I trusted it would be correct. the photo that I got is JPG which is useless for a Spanish visa. it has to be Jpeg and it cannot to computer generated into the correct format.
wasted £12. Do not use as it will not be accepted Asda Blackpool. Will have to find a way of getting a refund and using another company

The best customer service you could ever ask for

I visited the store located within Tesco in Mansfield and was served by a young lady called Molly. It was the anniversary of my mother’s passing and I popped in on the off chance to have a photo of her printed to put in a frame I had bought. Molly was the kindest person, and went out of her way to make me feel special. I left with tears in my eyes as it’s so rare these days for people to be kind. What an exemplary human being. Thank you Molly

Misleading and not fit for purpose

Misleading - You can't access photos taken from photo booths unless it's for a passport. Photos needed for driving license are useless and wasted time and money. Booths are not clear that you can only use for passports. Apparently there was an option to enter an email address at the booth, this was not clear in any way (I was looking for how when taking them) so will also restrict anyone who is not technically minded, older or with learning disabilities, VERY DISAPPOINTED and will not be recommending or using again

No one should be made to feel uncomfortable or shouted at in a store, and your experience at Meadowhall sounds completely unacceptable.
