It’s a bit of a rip off

It’s a bit of a rip off, when you want send parcels. When you’ve already got everything packed in a sturdy parcel box, you’ve to get another box around it from the DHL ones. So I paid way more than I should’ve because of that.
Because at Queensway in London they don’t go by weight just by the amount that where another box fits in. Although I could pack my whole suitcase in there of the room that I had left in the outer box.
At the website it seems like all Ryman’s that have a DHL service point go by that system. A highly rude system if you ask me. As tip I’d give go to the back and ask straight away for a DHL parcel box it easily could safe you 40-60 quid.

Good afternoon Y B,

Thank you for your review and feedback.

Whilst DHL are a separate company who set their own fees and prices, I have raised this internally with our services team for our improvement moving forward.

Apologies again and I do hope we can serve you better in the future.

Kind regards,

One rule for one and one for another

I was in the Shandwick Place Branch on Monday 21st Sep, I was only wanting c2 pages printed and the queue was about 5 deep as the Polish girl decided to design and print business cards for a customer, but what really annoyed me more as my husband and I were in a few weeks ago and asked if these were done in-store and we were told no, by the same person they would need to be ordered on-line, is it one rule for one and one rule for another!?!?
Myself and a couple of others waiting decided to go along the street to the Tech shop and they done it there in no time (cheaper also)
The other staff member who was a male with a shaved head wasn’t much more help either, decided to give someone enquiring about sending a DHL parcel to the US a long winded version of what tariffs may or not be applied.
Just thought I would let you know that with staff lying to customers it doesn’t bestow any confidence in the branch and customers leaving due to waiting times!!

Great Service when resolving a Delivery Issue

I recently placed an online order with Ryman for the first time. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the delivery due to the third party delivery company so I had to get in contact with Ryman’s Customer Service team. They did an excellent job in resolving the issue for me promptly and I wouldn’t hesitate to use their online delivery service again as a result.

Amazing and lovely staff

Amazing as always love shopping online and going to the physical store to see what they have staff are always so friendly and helpful even without asking you if you need help which I think is lovely only really go into the store In Maidstone as that’s the closest to me but it’s always nice to see such friendly and chatty staff when we go in would definitely recommend going either online or to shop in person

Ryman Kings Lynn received 6 maybe 7…

Ryman Kings Lynn received 6 maybe 7 sets on the Pokémon release today, So they decide to sell the woman in front several sets meaning nobody else gets anything. Do these staff have common sense to limit the stock to 1 per customer?

Morning Neil,

Thank you for your review and I am truly sorry to hear this.

Whilst all of our Pokemon is indeed on a limited number per customer, I am sorry to hear our Kings Lynn store failed to uphold this.

Please be assured I have escalated this internally to the Operations Manager for their full review.

Apologies again,

Very quick delivery.

Easy site to use and found just what I wanted at considerably lower cost than I usually pay.
Very quick delivery so would recommend and will be happy to use again.

Wrong items delivered twice

§same as last time. You sent the wrong item on my first order and after having it collected by the courier, who should have given me a time slot, but didn’t, my A5wallets were reordered but unbelievably the wrong item was sent yet again.

Poor service and customer responsiveness

I have used Ryman local print shops in Edinburgh before with no problems. I decided to use their services to print some photo collages for my wife's 60th birthday party. Big mistake!!
I ordered their 5 day service on 27th August. As of this morning 11th September I've been advised that these are now available at my local shop. That is 10 working days allowing for the bank holiday. Needless to say my wife's birthday party has been and gone. I've been in dialogue with Ryman for a week now. They have offered no real explanation as to the delay. Instead this morning, as a "gesture of goodwill", they have refunded me the £1.50 postage...on an £81 order!.
My advice? Avoid. Their poor quality service is only matched by their poor attitude to customer service.
I have yet to collect the delivered collages, but I shudder to think what they will be like, given the rest of my experience.
Support your local print shop instead.

Good Morning Frank.

I hope you are well today.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here at Ryman.

I am genuinely really sorry to hear about your experience with your photo collage order. From what you have described I can completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as the prints were ordered for your wife’s 60th birthday celebration.

We appreciate that you placed your order in good faith expecting to receive the prints within the advertised five-day service and we are sorry that the order was significantly delayed and ultimately arrived after the birthday party had taken place. We also understand your frustration that the resolution offered did not feel proportionate to the inconvenience and disappointment caused.

If you have not yet collected the prints and they are no longer needed, please do let us know and we can arrange a full refund for your order if you do not wish to keep them.

We appreciate that this experience has fallen well below the standard we aim to provide and we are sorry that we have let you down on this occasion. This is not the level of service we would expect for our customers, particularly for an important occasion such as a milestone birthday.

We hope that, should you choose to give us another opportunity in the future, we can provide you with a much better experience and restore your confidence in our print services.

Have a good day!
