Claire was exceptional

I wish I could bottle and sell Claire’s sense of humour, enthusiasm, and calmness.
I was in on Friday just before 4:00 o’clock, and she was on the print desk, dealing with three customers all at once, ever so effortlessly, and made us all feel important.
For that there was a definite 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Then 4:00 o’clock came and the young lad Robert who was at the front of the store said he was leaving, Claire said to him there’s still a customer and his reply was “it’s 4 and I’m finished” left the girl at the counter just standing, I couldn’t believe me eyes or ears. Customer Service certainly isn’t his strong point, I’ve encountered him a couple of times and find him quite hard work.
Claire politely asked if she could serve the girl and we were all in agreement that she was welcome to as she was clearly embarrassed by her colleague.

Anyways, kudos to Claire for being both polite and professional and the FIVE STARS are for her.
Enjoy your week off, you deserve it!! 😎

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,

Jack - Ryman Customer Relations

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.

Not what I wanted

The ordering and delivery were fine. However I sent two documents for printing and they were printed as a single document, so that the final page of the first one backed onto the first page of the second, which was not what I wanted. I ordered it online and it was posted to me so I could not check that it had been done correctly.

Morning Steven,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I am very sorry to hear your documents were printed together incorrectly.

We always advise customers to check their order prior to leaving the store, as our team will happily reprint anything on the spot if it isn't quite right. I do hope the team was able to get this resolved for you.

If you still need assistance with this order, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly and we will be glad to help.

Kind regards,
