I have used Photobox even on ancient imac but no matter what device old or new... now an Android device only one year old, Photobox doesnt répond the desktop version of my project is there but stuck in preview mode. If they knew this would happen why cant they direct customers to export it as a copy and add to it? The customer service mob only repeated what I told them, not one admitted the issue is with Photobox itself updating it's platform and shutting users out of their projects. Anyway the last thing I had printed from them was appalling quality like dirty old ink and our of focus and offset pictures. But why pretend the fault is with the customers the fault is with them and we cannot interface with their updated system this affects users on multiple types of devices and browsers. The Android app doesnt even let you log in. It was actually possible to log >n on an ancient iMac but not a new Android device. Their response. Clear my cookies ha ha Ive tried three web browser and the app. The app is in the bin now. My project will go to a different platform. Took weeks to do it and I am ill. Plus the ever dodgy pricing policy... Started off ok now rubbish.
I would give a zero if there was the option. When creating a photo book it recommends using the app but after spending 4 days creating a 120 page photo book it has all been lost. On contacting them they said that I should not have used the App (even though it is recommended) to create the photo book and that a lot of people have had problems. I have just wasted 4 days and cannot face the prospect of creating it again. Lost total confidence in Photobox. I have been a customer for many years and have been very satisfied in the past but they are now rubbish and their customer service is also rubbish. Photobox, what has happened to you?
Christmas cards arrived on New Years Eve, printed on rubbish paper and badly folded. Beyond disappointed. Do not use this Photobox.
I will not be sending these cards out.
Used to be good but now customer service is shocking. Paid extra to get a delivery but certain date and when package didn't arrive I chased and couldn't get a date it would arrive. Ended up arriving 9 days after date agreed.
As a regular customer, I want to send an email but all I get is a message from "Phoebe". I could telephone but don't want to - an email is so simple. They send me emails - why can I not reply to them! All I want to do is re-order my latest creation. Although I have been pleased with them in the past I have come to the conclusion that they don't want to hear from me and just don't care.
My order cancelled for no reason and I've still not been told why or received a refund, rang customer service several times but no one answered, no response to my emails and still every day I receive them from them with offers, pathetic customer care
Eventhough I adhered to the Photobox dates for submitting my artwork, they have now said they won't be able to deliver my books in time for Christmas. They said on the phone "we are sorry to have FAILED you and all we can do is take off the delivery costs". I feel SO disappointed as I won't have presents to give to my family at Christmas (photo album of my newborn baby), instead I have to buy additional presents or turn up empty handed. This is money I don't have as I am on maternity leave. I will NEVER use Photobox again. Their website says they will give you 110% money back if you have a smudge on your artwork. What about compensation if they miss Christmas? Offering free delivery for them being LATE is a JOKE and terrible customer service.
How is it possible to not be able order on Sunday.
And then on Monday they say it's to late because they don't work Sundays haha wtf
I ordered a photo book paid extra for delivery, no communication. I contacted them the day before to ensure it was still arriving I was assured it was. 48 hours later I am still waiting. Contacted customer services and was told a machine has broken but they couldn't issue any form or refund or compensation. Do not use! Can't contact them on a weekend and customer service very poor when contacted them.
Picture was half the size I paid for, no frame that I paid for, no hooks, the pictures were so bright nothing like the ones uploaded, half the people in the pics were wound around the canvas so cut off, looks just awful, they won't respond or refund. Scam company just avoid.
Awful company. Dismissive of complaints, lies about delivery poor product.
It is the responsibility of a company to ensure they are able to deliver a product in good time, especially if you pay for express. It is also a good idea for a company to use trusted delivery services. EVRI are terrible, this is just a fact...everyone knows it...its common knowledge. Why then do Photobox who guarantee delivery by a specific date use a company that have NO intention of delivering. This causes distress and in my case financial loss. I couldn't care less if your product is good value, if the quality is good ( its not by the way, it terrible) if you cant guarantee delivery, you are a pointless as an online service.
DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE
THEY WONT DELIVER
YOU WILL SPEND HOURS ON THE PHONE AND ON LINE ( SPEAKING TO A ROBOT) TRYING TO GET A REFUND.
DON'T BOTHER
Snappy Snaps much better quality, cheaper and delivered on time by Royal Mail.
Bonus Print, same.
Snap Fish, same
DONT USE PHOTOBOX, YOU WILL REGRET IT
I would leave 0 stars if possible
I would leave 0 stars if possible. We ordered 12 x a1 size canvas prints for our new office. We ordered them all with the no wrap option (white sides) They all turned up with 95% covered edges (the white part not even in a straight line on some of them) We contacted customer services who firstly stated we ordered them with wrap. I sent them a screen shot of our order where they confirmed we had actually ordered no wrap. After numerous emails they said they would offer us a refund. However they have now refused and we will be forced to do a credit charge back. This is absolutely disgusting - I would not recommend this company to anyone. There satisfaction guarantee is a joke. They are the most unhelpful company we have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. If you are thinking of ordering from them be warned.
We were dealing with Emina who is blatantly lying
Photobox has changed software without telling their customers. As a consequence old creations can't be edited and some of them not even reprinted!
They did not even tell anything before changing.
I have spend a lot of time over the last 20 years making lots of books with them and I can't use them any more. I am extremely disappointed!
Took two attempts to get a photo book to me as the first one went to a different address. Picture quality is rubbish all blurred as they use card instead of photo paper. (Nothing wrong with original pictures) Not worth the price even with a 50% discount!
This company does not deliver on time even if you pay for express delivery. Use other companies, you have more chance of getting your goods when you need them.
If you want photos printed, go elsewhere: my photos are now three weeks "in the post" and all I get from the customer helpline is another ticket number - I suspect it's a bot just providing a random string of placating numbers. Nor are Photobox interested in reimbursing me for the cost of my pictures - without an effective method of sorting out the problem, that remains unresolved - and illegal under the Sale of Goods Act of 1989.
This company does not deserve even 0 star to be honest. Ordered two custom made posters just so they could cut have of the images.
Now my husband birthday gift is ruined Very poor service apparently either they are blind or they do not check what they print at all! Very very disappointed!
Terrible really unhappy and they tried to make out my.photo was blurred let me tell you it wasn't so upset
Its terrible, the client support service never replies and you are left without your gift and without your money
Photobox has the most UNfriendly UX ever. It is impossible to get the right items into your basket. It automatically saves in gloss, then if you try to edit, it suddently removes everything else from the basket!
It surely isn't beyond the wit of the photobox web builders to build a user friendly site. That's all you have to do.
