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!

Used to be good but now they have…

Used to be good but now they have stopped home delivery for a notebook I used to buy and it's not available in hardly any of their stores either so what is the point in still showing it on their website?

Hello thehungrymeerkat,

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

Some of our products are indeed only available in stores and if it is low in stock, it would only be in a few of our stores, I am sorry.

I do hope you can locate another notebook that suits you!

Staff could not have been more helpful

Staff in the Huddersfield store could not have been more helpful, friendly and efficient on the 2 occasions that I have visited this week for colour prints and laminating. Brilliant!! Thank you and well done all. 😃

Ryman's Customer Service is excellent!

Ordered some "Really Useful" boxes.
One with trays inside arrived damaged; highly likely to have happened in transit as broken piece was inside the box it arrived in.
Photo of damage sent to Ryman's customer service.
Replacement box arrived a couple of days later.
I had other issues (only partial delivery despite delivery company advising they were delivering all 3 items together only 2 items delivered) the delivery company, again contacted Ryman's customer service and sorted same day. Missing box arrived by close of business.

Very rude staff …

Click and collect worked out great ready within an hour, didn’t collect until the next day and the customer service was awful! Liverpool st johns, women was very rude and clearly did not want to be there or help customers.

One star — And that’s being generous

Absolutely appalled by Ryman. I went in to print ONE returns label on ONE sheet of A4 paper and was charged an unbelievable £2.92. Yes, £2.92 for a single piece of paper with a label printed on it!

I honestly thought there must have been some mistake. Apparently not. Nearly £3 for one print — welcome to Rip-Off Britain!

I appreciate businesses have overheads, but charging £2.92 for one simple black-and-white returns label is absolutely ridiculous and, in my opinion, completely extortionate.

Needless to say, I won’t be walking through their doors again. There are plenty of other places where you can print something without nearly having a heart attack !

Even D Turpin wore a mask! 🥷

Avoid if you don’t want a nasty surprise at the till.

Hello Jane,

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

Whilst you are correct there is a "set up" charge, this is only applied once to every print order. This is to facilitate the printer, ink and any other overheads as you rightly suggested.

We strive to keep our charges low, however I have raised this internally for review.

Apologies again,

rubbish place. I used to shop there

I tried to order 2 items online, did everything correctly, and my card was not accepted. I have had the card since end of March, which replaced the expired one. I do not have any trouble with any other online suppliers. I am disgusted. Cannot get out as in my late 80's but still capable of everything.

Exceptional customer service from Nicola at the Falkirk branch

I popped into the Falkirk Ryman store needing a personalized birthday card sorted at the last minute. The standard print system didn't quite accommodate the custom photo layout I was trying to create, but rather than giving up, Nicola went above and beyond to find a solution.
She patiently worked through the system with me, printed my photos on the machine, and hand-assembled the card right there on the spot.
Thanks to her care, dedication, and problem-solving attitude, I walked away with exactly what I wanted. Nicola is a massive asset to the Falkirk team, and her manager should be very proud of her work.

Customer service and after care Professionals

Customer service and after care has always been top notch without any quibble in my experience over multiple visits.
I’m a very happy customer with a special mention to the very helpful staff of the Ealing Broadway branch where I’ve been shopped recently.
