“Worst customer service I have seen”
Visit www.pixum.co.ukI received my ordered aluminium print without the ordered wall mounting. When I asked for the mounting to be delivered they asked me to check the back of the aluminium plate if it hasn't been attached already. They don't think much of their customers. But never mind. However, when I replied it took them 3 days to let me know they would send the wall mounting. Still, one month after placing the original order I have not received all parts of my order. Also customer services is now ignoring me and...

“'This is your Life' Photobook for a special birthday!”
Visit www.pixum.co.ukTo celebrate my Aunt's 70th birthday we decided to creat a 'This is your Life' type book filled with photos and memories from friends and familites over the years. We have just presented it to her today and she was absolutely thrilled with it and I was equally delighted with the way the Photobook turned out! Despite the fact that many of the photos were non-digital and had to be scanned in, the quality was excellent. Once my son had got me started with the softare it was easy to use and the design/layout...

Visit www.pixum.co.ukIt was great to be able to order A3 calendars either in portrait or landscape. Many custom print sites do not offer A3 size printing, or a choice of orientation. I would have liked the option to add text, though. The print quality was superb and as I bought 5 calendars, I appreciated the discount offered as it saved me over £20....

The pricing was very reasonable, & there was an added £10 off voucher as a one off deal. Everything processed so easily. All I had to do was wait for the finished product.

Visit www.pixum.co.ukI have used a few sites to make photobooks for special occasions. This was far the best.

Visit www.pixum.co.ukI spent a lot of time designing a hardback 'photo book' (A4 landscape) as a gift for my father-in-law's 65th birthday. It had a large amount of text mixed with lots of photos and I was nervous about the finished product and whether or not it would do justice to all my hard work, if indeed it could cope with the amount of content! Well, it arrived within 3 days of ordering (expected it to take around 10 days) and I was blown away by it! It was everything I hoped it would be, looking just like a book...

Visit www.pixum.co.ukI had 180 digital images for standard printing. Uploading was really easy and the process of print ordering was very simple. I like the idea that Pixum does not crop images but trims paper to fit image as uploaded. Prints were of good quality on Kodak paper and we were very happy with the result. Delivery was on the third day after uploading. My only criticism is the imposition of a processing cost, I would like all cost to be within the handling and postage cost.

Visit www.pixum.co.ukI started using Pixum Photo Books after the birth of my granddaughter, now 21/2, and have to say it has been one of my better ideas! The process is simple (Granny can do it!) and can be tailored to your needs or whims. I've done books with and without text and both versions are equally effective. I love the flexibility - to capture the moment you can have lots of small photos telling the story, just one big one that summarises it or, if you can't decide then you can have both!
