Excellent Customer Service and Quick Resolution

I ordered some prints from Ryman, but unfortunately, half of them arrived on paper of the wrong thickness.

I contacted customer service, and they quickly understood the issue and forwarded my request to the printing department. The documents were promptly reprinted on the correct paper and dispatched so efficiently that I received them the very next day.

Things can go wrong, but what truly matters is how a company handles them. Ryman dealt with the issue professionally, gracefully, and promptly.

Thank you for the excellent customer service and quick resolution! Thanks to your swift action, I was able to complete my project on time.

1 Star - Ruined a special gift and frustrating customer service

I ordered a print intended to sit inside a presentation box for a personalised trophy. This wasn't just a standard print job, it was an important part of a carefully planned gift with sentimental value.

What I received was completely unsuitable for the purpose. The artwork was created as a 10cm × 10cm insert designed to fit inside a presentation box, yet the finished product arrived as a full A4 print. As a result, the gift I had spent considerable time designing and preparing was effectively ruined.

The most frustrating part was trying to get support afterwards. I had a product code from the order update email, but customer service insisted on an order number that wasn't readily available. Despite having the product code, confirmation emails and the item itself, I found myself going around in circles trying to get assistance.

I genuinely don't understand why resolving a simple printing issue should be so complicated. The information I had should have been more than enough to identify the order and help put things right.

The entire experience left me disappointed. I spent time, money and effort creating a meaningful gift, only to receive a product I couldn't use and then face unnecessary hurdles when seeking support.

I will not be using Ryman's printing services again.

Good Morning Carl.

I hope you are well today.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here at Ryman.

I am genuinely sorry to hear about the disappointing experience you had with your personalised print order, particularly given the sentimental importance of the gift you were preparing.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive an item that was not suitable for your intended purpose and then experience difficulties when trying to obtain assistance from our team. We apologise for the inconvenience and frustration this caused.

I can see that our team has now processed a full refund for your order. We hope this has helped to put things right, although we appreciate that this does not undo the disappointment or time spent trying to resolve the matter.

Thank you again for bringing your experience to our attention. We are sorry that we did not deliver the standard of service you expected on this occasion.

Have a good day!

Efficient and helpful printing service

With so many poor companies about, it's nice to stop and take a moment to review the things that just work... Like Ryman's 'print in store' function. I can't number the amount of times I'm rushing to prep for a meeting, about to jump on a train, and I'm out of time or out of ink to print materials. No problem! Is there a Ryman near the venue? I'll just email the final docs and they'll be printed 'in 1 hour' - although frequently done within minutes!

In an era of declining high street facilities (seriously, no-one has a printer these days?) this is a really helpful 5-star service.

Yet another unacceptable noisy delivery?

Would someone at Head Office please request of their deliverymen to remember that there are resident neighbours in earshot of the RYMANS they are delivering to, and making totally unnecessary NOISE, banging & crashing tailplates & palletts is unsocial & made all the more unacceptable with children sleeping…. or trying to!

Please also NOTE.. owner Theo Paphitis, as our residents would hope you too will insist on your deliveries being made as quietly as possible which i can assure you that your delivery to Kings Road SW3 at 9.30 this evening, 26 Oct 2026 was NOT…

This is NOT the first time your long suffering resident neighbours have posted valid complaints and even received a reply to sort… patently the “offer to sort” by customer services was kindly advised but orders to comply were ignored by your obviously noisy and unsociable deliverymen seemingly still unaware of local residents’ right to peace ‘n quiet.

RBKC Environmental Health have advised we note and report further unacceptable unnecessary noise.

Good Morning Paul.

I hope you are well today.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here at Ryman.

I am really sorry to hear about the disturbance caused by the late-night delivery to our Kings Road store, especially as you have advised that this is not the first occasion on which concerns have been raised about this issue.

I can assure you that this matter has been raised with our Stores Operations Lead, as well as our Distribution and Logistics team so that they can investigate the circumstances surrounding the delivery and consider what steps can be taken to address your concerns and help prevent similar incidents from happening again.

We sincerely apologise for the disruption and inconvenience caused to you and the surrounding residents. We will do what we can to work with the relevant teams to minimise unnecessary noise during deliveries and be more considerate of the local community.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to look into this matter.

Have a good day!

Good Morning Jennifer.

I hope you are well today.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here at Ryman.

We are sorry to hear that you were unable to order the black cat pencil case and Halloween pen for delivery, especially as you live some distance from your nearest Ryman store. We understand that having to collect items in store is not always convenient, especially for customers who do not live locally.

Some of our products are only available for in-store purchase or Click and Collect, depending on the item and its availability. However, we appreciate that this can be disappointing when you are hoping to have everything delivered together.

On a positive note, we are pleased to hear that your advent calendar arrived promptly and we hope your granddaughter loves it!

Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us understand where we can improve the shopping experience for our customers.

Have a good day!

Very easy to order

A lot of choice for a 2017 diary. Ordering was easy and delivery was very good, on time and packaged well.

Rymans in Harrow were wonderful

Ryman's in Harrow were wonderful; nothing was too much trouble, and the staff were highly efficient and well-trained. Pleasant, super friendly and helpful despite my vague and complicated printing tasks. Romanian lady was excellent - 10/10 for customer care and efficiency 🤗

I had the misfortune to deal with their offshore customer service team who were rude and unhelpful.
They were not capable of fulfilling a basic request and really couldn't have cared less.
My issue was not resolved and there was no interest in trying to escalate to someone who could.
I'm not sure Rymans care about their customers. Maybe bring you helpline back to the UK and don't rely on cheap foreign call centres.

Update: I replied to Rymans with the info they requested, guess what? No Response

I was charged £2.92 to print just ONE A4 page from an email at Ryman Coventry: 42p for the printing plus a £2.50 service charge. I find that excessive for such a simple service and very poor value for money.

Sharing this so others know to check the full cost, including the service charge, before printing. I certainly won’t be using this service again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We completely understand your frustration regarding the overall cost of printing a single document, and we appreciate your comments regarding the £2.50 service charge applied when accessing and processing files directly from an email. We strive to ensure our in-store print and service pricing is transparent so customers are fully aware of any applicable handling fees before an order is processed, and we are very sorry for the disappointment this caused during your visit to our Coventry store. Your comments have been passed along to our retail operations team as we regularly review our print service charges.

If you require any further assistance from our team, please do not hesitate to contact us for further support.
