I’ve been ordering Blurb photo books multiple times per year for over 10 years and the print quality is excellent (provided you upgrade to the higher quality paper), but the changes to shipping costs... See more

EXCELLENT SERVICE THRUGHOUT
The book was printed quickly, and cannot be faulted.
ORDINARY shipping was brilliant.
This was my first time ordering from…
This was my first time ordering from Blurb. Highly recommended! Great response time and shipping.
As always
As always, the end product exceeded my expectations. The somewhat excessive shipping fee, is to a point offset by the speed of which my books are dispatched, and the reliablity of them reaching me in perfect saleable condition. Running a print-on-demand distribution of my own line of books in this manner is still by far the better option than the outlay and storage costs of arranging a large print run. I'll continue to rely on Blurb to supply my line of books in this manner.
I was very impressed
I was very impressed with the speed and the quality of the delivery.
Super fast delivery
So happy. And super fast delivery of my book order!! Even in this time of covid delays! Thanks very much!
The page margins that you have set on…
The page margins that you have set on your website mention nothing about mirrored margin in a word document. I had to reprint my order because of this. Very little communication skills and effort from the support team. Will never be using blurb again and will not be recommending to anyone.
Book is soft back
Book is soft back. Colour reproduction excellent as well as clarity and sharpness. Would have been good if someone had proof-read the copy.
You still don’t offer a portrait format…
Love everything about but except You still don’t offer a portrait format for your fine art art books, I’ve been asking for 8 years.
Reliable and great quality
I've been buying from Blurb for many years now, I love that they are printing in Australia now, shipping is faster and cheaper. I got some photo books printed up for Christmas gifts to the Grandparents, they came so quickly! Great quality as always. I even ordered one book separately to be posted to an Italian address, in the hope they would have printed it in Europe. It must hav, because it arrived even before the Australian ones did and postage to Italy always seems so slow from Australia. Nonna was so happy to receive it! I used their Book Wright app with the page presets, was easy to put together, it took longer to find all the photos. Highly recommend!
Disappointment at the costing system
I have recently created 5 family history photobooks and ordered 4 copies of each one (plus a couple of proof copies), with each book between 180-230 pages in length. I used the large square format and the highest quality Pro paper available. This has cost me thousands of dollars and follows my long history of using Blurb. The end image printing quality was acceptable. The boxing of the package is generally sloppy, with boxes far too large for the contents, meaning they can move around inside.
My issue is one I have long found disappointing. I have worked for over twelve months to get this project finished. I wanted to get the project done so they could be gifted for Christmas and have noted Blurb's urgings to get things completed to meet printing and delivery pressures at this time. So I bit the bullet and paid full price for these recent four books, with no discount offer in the offing and deadlines looming. Today I saw an email with new offer of 50% discount (Blackfriday50). So if I had waited a little longer ( but potentially missed my deadline) this last order would have cost me $500 instead of $1000 - a not insubstantial amount.
Yes, I understand that this is the way Blurb has always operated. But instead of joy I feel disappointed and disgruntled - hardly a good outcome for me or for Blurb.
Anyway, I provide this as feedback and to share my feeling of being let down by the Blurb system.
Great service
Great service - used Blurb a lot and have always been happy with the quality and timeliness.
Very happy with the result and service.
Great service
From pressing 'send' on a Monday night in Western Australia, the finished book was delivered to my son in Germany four days later. Our own copy arrived a few days after. The quality was fantastic and price competitive. Will be recommending Blurb to all.

I ordered a book written by my sister
I ordered a book written by my sister. The postage was larger than the cost of the book. But the book came in perfect condition with errors previously noted by the author corrected.
It was hand delivered to my door two weeks after I ordered it.
Thank you
Excellent service
I have used BLURB for many years for producing photobooks, with excellent quality results. Recenely I used them to produce aselfpublished book for sale. The software and support is excellent, and I would highly recommend them. If you think its too hard, my experience is that is is easier then you think and very rewarding. Only criticism is that Blurb are quite slow in pay you the profit.
I have been using Blurb for some years
I have been using Blurb for some years. Bugs have been fixed and the quality of the print has improved over the years and is now very good.
Delivery times are good. I find the prices expensive and try to wait for the discounts !
