“A totally frustrating experience!”
Written on: 16/03/2013 by Serelli
Why oh why does their web page keep failing to work properly? One minute you are uploading photographs and compiling an album, the next minute the screen freezes and you have to 'recover the web page'and start all over again. A job that now takes many times longer than it should do. There are other issues with the site, eg. uploaded photos that 'disappear' or are often so difficult to find. Such a pity as the quality of the end product is excellent. (read more)

“Delighted with my A4 Personalised Photobook”
Written on: 14/03/2013
I was extremely pleased with the service of Photobox and the Personalised A4 book that I ordered. It was so easy to upload photos to the website and then to add them to the pages. I was easily able to change the layout for each page and then modify again if I changed my mind on the look of the page when the photos were added. It was also easy to add comments to the pages and I was able to change the style of font used for each page if I wanted to or to have the same style applied to each... (read more)

Written on: 27/01/2013
I have tried twice to upload three images for output to 20" x 16". When it came to actually outputting, it was not possible to save the three to the basket for ordering in one go, and of course, you can never click "back" for something like this. I have used the Photobox website before and it is just not up to the job. (read more)

“Wedding albums”
Written on: 15/01/2013
Ordered two separate A4 personalised 50 page wedding albums before Christmas for my parents and in-laws which were a collection of our wedding photos that they chose. The templates are easy to use and to manipulate. The albums are great and arrived earlier than suggested which was perfect as they were gifts. Both sets of parents love their albums and it great to have the better quality paper and cover. Am now looking forward to our own which we have just ordered, although disappointed... (read more)

I'm very IT competent & was confident using the software. All looking really good but constant tecnical glitches meant that I was unable to save my creation. Kept saying 'oops you don't have enough photos to save etc...' this was after 11 pages of work completed! Appreciate that these things happen so started from scratch and tried again.

I am terribly sorry to hear that you have had trouble creating and saving your book. The process is usually very quick and simple. You do just need to add one image to the first page to save and then you will be able to continue. It is also easier to first upload your images and then continue to the creation. Please do contact our team at makegood@photobox.com and we will send you some more detailed instructions. You can also click on the live chat function you will be able to connect directly with one of our agents who will be able to guide you through the creation process. I do hope you are able to get in touch soon we would really like to help.

Hi mate, You have to create a album first and upload all your pictures. Once you uploaded the photos then work on your creation. Every time you make a change you are happy with save the progress. If you are IT competent you should know this. I never had any problems with photobox so far (been using them for over a year now)

“Good products, delivered promptly”
Written on: 10/01/2013
I have ordered photo calendars each of the las three years and have been pleased with them everytime. They've always arrived by chrisstmas too, even when i left it to the last advertised day. Excellent quality. I have also ordered individual prints, they arrived swiftly and were fair quality, but not the best. V satisfied with thank you cards I ordered recently. Lots of offers so worth planning ahead to avoid paying full price for any of their products! (read more)

I ordered two fridge magnets and a photobook. I had a small quibble with the magnets, as i had not accounted for the amount of the image which would not be visible, and received a prompt refund. The photobook was much better than a rival's products, was well packaged, of good quality and with fast delivery time. I also ordered several prints, which were of good quality and promptly delivered. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for good value for money, quality products and... (read more)

“Quick, good quality, easy to use and fair price”
Written on: 03/01/2013 by BobSolar
Ordered my first bunch of pictures. As a photographer, I was afraid with quality and sharpness. Nothing to worry, very good quality, well packed photos and very quick delivery. Sometimes it takes a bit long to make sure all your pictures are with the desired crop and I see no way but thoroughly check all of your pictures to get rid of undesired crops. Other thing that I liked is the product range, which can fulfill any demand, from a family trip to a photographic exposition to very... (read more)

Written on: 02/01/2013
I've now done several Photobox books and am really pleased with all of them. It takes quite a while to make one, choosing & organising the photos you want to include, but it's worth it. I would recommend allowing yourself time to do it without rushing and to do things like checking your spelling. Most of the ones I've done are of our holidays over the last couple of years. I've also made two for gifts, one for my niece of her wedding and most recently as a gift for friends as a reminder of... (read more)

“Very good service and lovely products ”
Written on: 23/12/2012
I have used photo box for the last two years for Christmas calendars and photo books for my family and I have to say they really haven't let me down. The products are lovely and arrive in good time. The only complaint I had this year was when I was trying to upload photos from our mac it wasn't the most intuitive to use (previous years I have used a pc and found it much easier) however when it was working it worked very smoothly and I made 7 calendars in no time :-) (read more)

“Service and product is much better than others”
Written on: 22/12/2012
Just lately I've gone a bit mental (new baby) creating photo books, a canvas, mugs, jigsaws and photo prints. I've used a few different companies, usually based on Groupon offers, but I can honestly say that PhotoBox is the best. Both the product you get, the ease of creation and how quickly it arrives beats all the rest hands down. Plus their customer service team are brilliant especially if you are having problems getting the product completed in time. The worst incidentally is Vista Print. (read more)

“Used to be a fan, now not so much..”
Written on: 21/12/2012 by Littlemisssunshine21 (3 reviews written)
I ordered 5 A3 wall calendars from Photobox on Monday 10.12.12 which was well within any of their Christmas deadlines. Their software online is good and easy to use but it took me about 10 hours over the previous weekend to finalise my calendars. It is time consuming! They were purchased as part of a groupon deal which seemed like really good value since I'd used the company the year before and been really pleased with the results (previously buying calendars, mouse mats and a photo book)....

Written on: 19/12/2012 by tinseltoes
I was initially very taken with Photobox, it seemed in theory so easy, just load the pics to their website and choose a product. I used one of their offers and spent two weeks worth of evenings uploading photographs and compiling 2 x 100 page books. That was nearly a month ago, I received one of the books within a week of ordering it and was pleased with the service. So I ordered five calendars, which are much more basic than the ones I normally order from Apple (same price too) but still... (read more)

We've used photobox for 4 years and have always been 100% pleased with the products. We do an A3 wall calendar every year for family christmas presents and visitors often comment on them. With a black background they look really professional. We've also had a mousemat, many mugs, poster size enlargements and smaller enlargements.

Thank you very much for my collage photo Photobox! I'm delighted with it and with the quality of the photos. To be honest I thought they would be fuzzy because they were blown up bigger but I was proven wrong. It arrived bang on the estimated time and was very cheap as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering using it and will use it again myself. Thank you. (read more)

Dear Guest,
Many thanks for your review, I was very sorry to hear about your issues and I do understand your frustration. It saddens me to let you or any of our customers down, especially with such personal irreplaceable gifts. I was dealing with your issue yesterday via makegood email. I am sorry that you did not get your order. First time it was send via 1st class post Royal Mail, please be advised that once order is dispatched it is then handed to our delivery partners (i.e. Royal Mail, DPD) and from there the delivery process would be completed. With the Royal Mail, your order should be with you by the next working day although on their advise a five day working week delivery is allowed. As stated in your account in the Delivery Times section (http://www.photobox.co.uk/content/delivery-information), unfortunately because of the nature of the delivery services, we basically put our trust in the services that they provide in order to get orders to our members and very occasionally things can go wrong. It is just very unfortunate that it has happened to you twice. However, if a week after the published estimated order times above your goods have not been received we will re-print and resend at no cost. Redo was placed for you via DPD and unfortunately there was a problem with your shipment, which has led to an investigation being raised against your parcel. DPD is looking into this now.
I am very sorry that we have failed to dispatch a second redo within our estimated dispatch time.As requested I have cancelled and refunded your order back to your method of payment. I have also applied a credit into your PhotoBox account as compensation due to all the troubles caused.
I hope you will accept this from PhotoBox as a token of our appreciation of your custom, and as a further apology for the disappointment we have caused.

I take thousands of photos, delete alot, and of these, print very few: always through Photobox. The service is reliable and in my experience, the quality is excellent. In addition to prints - from small to A3 size - I have created a calendar -much admired, and 2 photo books the second better than the first, although it took ages...a word of advice, only upload the photos you intend to use -not the whole folder.

“A4 hardback Photobook”
Written on: 03/12/2012 by peterivy
Very pleased with final design and quality of this photobook. Photobox's uploading and editing software is great to use; simple and intuitive. The suggested design gives you a good start in generating ideas and formats of your own. Very easy 'drag and drop' editing feature and loads of book styles to choose from. Uploading (100) high def JPG's was error-free. Would use again. (read more)

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback. At the moment you can only browse our website when using your IPad.
If you would like to upload photos to your account, you will need to install our Photobox app, which is the same application used on the IPhone.
You will not be able to make photobooks (or any other creations) or place orders using your Ipad. The reason is Adobe Flash function used by the creation studio is incompatible with Apple mobile devices
Also due to a limitation in the iPad operating system, it`s only possible to upload one photo at a time at reduced resolution. We are working towards developing this functionality in the near future. Check our weekly newsletters for updates.

“Reliable and good quality”
Written on: 27/11/2012 by Timderi (1 review written)
Photobox has improved a lot in the last couple of years. It is easier to upload photos and to edit them if necessary from their website.The quality of photographs printed is very good and delivery speeds and packaging are good.No complaints about an honest, helpful company. I like the way they put together a photobook from your pics and the way they present other possibilities.I think the cost of postage is a little high and they could review that. (read more)

“Poor Quality, Poor choice of Courier”
Written on: 27/11/2012
I don't normally do this but i am so utterly dissapointed in what has just been delivered that i felt i needed to warn others. It's obviously a busy time of year because they have evidently rushed my order through with little care or attention. Warning bells started ringing when the courier, APC, presented me with a twisted, dented and damp box with a great big mudddy footprint on top! I know this isn't necessarly photoboxes fault but they have a choice of couriers they could use. When... (read more)

“photobox photobook review”
Written on: 24/11/2012 by martinff
Created and ordered my second photobook. Honestly very easy and good quality which is why i went back. If you use them regularly they email you offers which makes them good value too. Book creator software is excellent. It takes your photos and has a go at putting them in a book. You then can easily tweak the layout. Superb. (read more)

“Highly recommended”
Written on: 23/11/2012
I have used Photobox for a few years and don't bother to look anywhere else as the service is so good. The quality has always been very good and the delivery speed superb. The online book creation is really easy. And the frequent special offers make it very good value for money. I had a quality issue with one poster print once and customer services resolved it very quickly. I've had prints, enlargements, poster prints, calendars and books - all really good. (read more)

“Personalised photobook review”
Written on: 18/11/2012
Really pleased with this product. you can get quite hooked on setting the book how you want it so give yourself plenty of time as the cut off point creeps up on you before you know it. Customer service has been excellent when I've had occasion to ring them. Basically it does exactly what it says on the tin. (read more)

“Disappointing service”

I have used photobox on several occasions and have always been thrilled with the quality of the final product. However after today I shall not be using them again... I bought a credit to make a 50 page photo book and my 12 year old daughter decided to complete the book as a surprise for me! In error she only completed 25 pages and didn't realise the book should have been 50 pages. The order was sent and the error was realised! I phoned customer services today and explained what had...

“fantastic wedding memory”
Written on: 09/11/2012
This was the second spiral bound square photo book we have ordered from Photobx this year. This second one was a souvenir of friends' wedding. The web site is easy to use, and the photos are easy to put into the book and the choice of style and background is all we could have asked for. Two days before expected delivery we were contacted by email to say there had been a delay in printing - we feel this was a good customer service technique. The book is absolutely wonderful!

“Photos, Photo Books and Canvas Prints,”
Written on: 08/11/2012
Have used Photobox for a long time now. Service has always been first class as has the quality of prints. I have done several photobooks now as they make lovley gifts. Each book has been beautifully made. The one time I had slight damage to a corner (that was probably done by Royal Mail) they took the book back and replaced it without question. I have recently had a few canvas prints done, a couple of black and white and three colour ones. As I was buying 20 x 30 I made sure I used good... (read more)

Written on: 08/11/2012 by kkez2009 (2 reviews written)
I took advantage of the 50 free prints offers on a few prining websites recently. The prints I ordered from Photobox were by FAR the BEST!! They arrived impossibly quickly (still wondering how they managed it, perhaps they borrowed santa....) and the prints were beautiful, glossy and the colours were amazing it seemed almost a shame to shut them away in my photo album. I will DEFINATELY be using photobox again, and I wold recommend them to ANYONE a million times over, a fantastic service... (read more)

I was the photographer for my dads wedding in October & my wedding present to them was the classic personalised photo book filled with 50 pages full of photos. I used a few pages to write my own personalised things like memorable moments, who was there & the places the ceremony & venue were held. The picture quality is superb. Every last detail I wanted in the book & spent 2 days working on was all perfected! I couldn't ask for a better print! My dad & now step mum loved it! They said its... (read more)

Written on: 31/10/2012 by jakesdad6299 (1 review written)
It's quick to upload. The products are varied and interesting. The end results are fab - so far have done 4 or 5 books, 2 framed photos, 2 calendars and I have snow globes and acrylic pictures to come. Christmas sewn up! I would definitely recommend giving this a go - look out for their offers, and you can buy credits cheaply to use at a later date - all makes this a site and service that helps bring those digital snaps to life!

I created a book as a gift and purchased it with a Groupon token, I have had to ask for a re-print 3 times because of glaring quality issues. The first book printed black squares where I had filled in the boxes with white images because I wanted blank pages, the second book had inky roller marks on many pages and the third copy I have just received has RED TAPE stuck over a page and a whole page that has been scribbled on with black marker (and printing quality issues) and that was after I...

“Great quality Greetings Cards”
Written on: 22/10/2012
This year I have had several of my photos made into greetings cards by Photobox and the quality is excellent.They use a good quality card with a nice gloss finish and the cards are better than two other companies I have used. Turn around time is usually good and this week it was even better, less than 4 days. Postage costs seem a bit high but overall good value as the cards are so appealing. I have also had some prints done to compare to my usual supplier and they are slightly sharper. The... (read more)

Thats simple because they don't want to know. Unfortunalty Ive been using them out of necessity, im a wedding photographer and as soon as ive written this im going to source someone else. They simply dont want to help with condescending would be helpers on the phone... I had a christening to upload to the pro gallery but half way through it failed, only thing they said was 'im sorry you feel that way' I COULD TEAR them to pieces when theyt start with the im sorry its an indefinable time it takes to repair.. after all its technology..

Written on: 03/04/2013
Hi I am a customer as well and I agree with Serelli, in essence upload speeds are so slow. I tried to upload family photos with a view to saving them online and printing out an album. However after several hours of uploading, only 3 phots (circa 5mb) had actually uploaded.
I have given up, but would like to continue to use the service. So if photobox can indicate when they are less busy and upload times are better, I would be happy to schedule uploads during quite periods.

I am very sorry to hear that you have been having trouble with the upload. Do try the uploader at www.photoboxconnect.com you should find that works faster for you. It does also help to upload first before starting the book. Please do send me an email at makegood@photobox.com as we would really appreciate it if you could send us a few more details regarding the problems you have had.
