The Unique Maps Co. Reviews 

Don't rely on this company's promises or advertised timelines.

I placed the order on July 1st, the ETA on the website said 2-3 working days, the ETA in the order (again in the email/website) said Jul 7th. The communication was excellent up until the point I paid them money. Once I did, it all went downhill. Communication happened over WhatsApp, no one picked up the phone etc.

July 6th: asked for ETA - vague reply with no material ETA and rather a description of their internal process which I don't care about. No reply to my follow up question
July 7th: no reply to my message. I'm not talking about any proactive communication about the order delay, proactive update with the new ETA etc.
July 8th: in the morning they promised to produce the design within 2-3 hours and send it to me. That didn't happen that day and only happened the next day. They also suggested that I pay 25GBP for an expedited delivery - something that I expect a company caring about the customer service would care to cover. I asked for the updates in the evening - again, no reply.
July 9th: only then the designs were sent to me. I approved within hours
July 14th: only then the delivery company got the parcel from them
July 16th: only then did I get my order.

I must say the quality of the print was solid (otherwise I'd put 1 star and charge back), but who cares if the 90% of use cases are gifts and the timelines they communicate don't match the reality? You rely on them but then come to the party empty-handed.

All could be understandable with proper communication and willingness to resolve this from their end, which I haven't seen any.
Just lost time and nerves.

We are excited about our new custom map of our favorite ski mountain with our condo marked on it. The team was prompt in their communication and design process to make the map exactly the way we wanted it. We had them frame it and are very pleased with the whole process. I highly recommend if you are looking for something special and unique for your home.

I had bought 3 Botanical prints from Unique Maps Co. and had them shipped internationally. The prints are exactly as described and the quality exceeded my expectation. I saw the same prints sold elsewhere but the quality was rubbish. No regrets choosing here!

I had reached out to Dominic and team, a little worry about the shipment since that I had purchased the prints during Christmas season. I needn’t worry at all because true to reassurances given by the team (with prompt follow-ups), the prints were delivered right on time. Best customer service I’ve experienced, ever. Recommended to all new buyers, truly!

Phenomenal maps and they shipped real fast in the time I wanted! Very friendly service when they reached out via email too.

Order never arrived, ignored for two months until I threatened legal action.

I ordered from The Unique Maps Co. and the order never arrived. I contacted support and requested a refund — then heard nothing for two months despite chasing repeatedly.
The only reply I ever got was when I messaged saying I would report them to the authorities. Suddenly someone responded within minutes, explaining that the person handling my order was "on vacation" and that they had all "assumed" I'd received a replacement supposedly sent in mid-May. It never arrived either, and nobody had checked or followed up.
Rather than the refund I asked for, they offered to send yet another replacement. I've now had to invoke Section 75 with my credit card issuer to get my money back.
Whatever the quality of their maps, the fulfilment and customer service are not functioning. Order at your own risk.

Update: The company has publicly replied that a second replacement is "the best solution available." It is not — I requested a refund, which is my statutory right for non-delivery under the Consumer Rights Act, and it has been refused. I have now filed a Section 75 claim with my credit card issuer to recover the payment.

As I move house, again, I find that my desire for beauty and nostalgia stronger than ever. Imagine my absolute delight to find The Unique Map Company. They make available a deep and broad collection of quality prints of which I now own three. Top notch personal communication and reasonable dispatch times will help to solidify their continued success.

I wanted a special gift for my husband to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary (men are so hard to buy for) and The Unique Maps Co really delivered. Communication was fantastic, always very quick and they were very happy for me to keep tweaking my ideas and their map to get exactly what I wanted. The final product looks amazing and is great quality - it is a framed canvas of a UK map from our wedding year with 12 places special to us marked with a numbered dot - and a text box in the corner naming the places and their significance. We both love it! I would not hesitate to recommend the company and product. Thank you Dominic and Sebastian for all your help.

Noway 1690 map

I needed to defer delivery and company was most accommodating.

Fits perfectly on the wall.

Beautiful map detail, historically accurate, lovely craftsmanship. Company was very responsive and also kept me informed throughout the process.

I had been searching for some time, for an artwork that was a little different to the usual stuff you find. I found that in the lovely 'Karikachi Mountain Pass by Hasui Kawase' print I ordered, although I was spoilt for choice. The print arrived beautifully framed and in very good time. I was kept well informed of any updates and received good communication from The Unique Maps company. I look forward to treating myself to another print again soon.

Couldn’t be more helpful from start to finish. There was no problem in that I wanted to send it to America. I was also able to change the frame colour after ordering. The map was swiftly despatched in America and arrived securely packaged. I was kept informed of the order all the way through the process and highly recommend Unique Maps.

Loved working with the Unique Maps Co. Andy and the team were very helpful , patient and the communication was great. A genuine 5 start service! Thanks

I stumbled across the Unique Map Company and I am so glad I did!
I was looking for a unique and personal gift for my partner’s significant birthday. Having located an appropriate map on line, I worked with Sebastien and Dominic to add-in markers of very precise locations around a much changed city which in turn produced an amazing map.
Proofs were produced in order for my partner to check and the map finalized - I didn't want to get anything wrong :-)
Great and fast service and excellent communication as the map was produced, dispatched and delivered.
Thank you so much for a quality product.

This map was a discovery I had not expected. Purely by chance I saw the promotion of the company online. One of the maps, dating from 1938 was of Glasgow. It included the road on which my mother's family home was located! The rest of the details was first rate, including the Empire Exhibition, held in Glasgow that year. Modest homework told me of the options on size and style of the maps available. I ordered the one that suited me. Acknowledgement was immediate. Confirmation an dispatch details followed in jig time. When the map arrived I was delighted with its quality , excellent packaging and protection from damage. I obtained a frame within a couple of days. It has pride of place now in my living room. Thank you for a first rate purchase of the highest quality. A1 transaction - buy with confidence! I wish every success in the years to come.

The map looks great and matches what I ordered online. The service was good as well, the team is very helpful and goes out of their way to assist when needed.

There are a few areas for improvement, particularly the material used, which could be of higher quality.

Outstanding map!! Order went smoothly!! I asked for the map to be "aged", which was done beautifully!! Order was completed and sent in perfect condition.

Great communication and input from the whole team on designing the two maps I wanted. The maps turned out fantastic. Well worth it

Terrific quality. Map details were very clear. Frame was excellent. Was easy to order and communicate with Unique Maps. Fantastic customer service. I’m very satisfied. Highly recommend.

We've just received our 1559 map of London, printed on canvas, 24 by 36 inches (cm will never catch on) and beautifully "float framed" in the finish of our choice, which makes it extra special . All individually crafted with great care. We're delighted. The quality is superb. It was VERY carefully packaged and reached us in pristine condition (despite the best efforts of the local delivery driver who will remain nameless). Many thanks to all at The Unique Maps Co.

Incredibly vibrant colours on high quality paper. Great communication all the way through the process, and super fast shipping.
