Good improvements made

Last year I ordered a diary and I had issues uploading and tye delays on delivery were months. Also I was not able to order the calendar year ahead so didn't quite get the months I needed (as I order these well in advance).

The reason I continued to use, is photobox has the only photo book display diary that I can find. A unique product.

I am very happy to experience this year all the pains from previous were fixed. Photo upload happened (although very slow), purchase easy and after paying for express service, it arrived on time. Thank you!

Still haven’t received my order

Still haven’t received my order. It is taking an extremely long time! Part of my order was a birthday present for someone, their birthday has now been and gone. Very disappointed! Hoping my order will be here soon and worth the very long wait.

Comments for improvement

For some reason, I had to confirm to DHL staff member where to deliver parcel? Wasn't good timing as I was at a conference. Would have thought delivery address at the time of purchase be sufficient?

The box the photo album came in could improve. The box was underwhelming. You could offer options to customise the box (add photo, art work, birthday/anniversary messages, ribbons etc)

Photo quality was excellent. Mobile pictures came out better than expected.

Would definitely purchase again.

You have a neat and creative business.

All the best

Warning

Warning - not a NZ site and it seems like this might be a scam? I still haven’t received my order and when I click on the tracking link it seems to be a phishing email and my phone warns me that the connection is not private. I also still haven’t received my order after weeks, ordered three small things and they are all (supposedly) coming in separate packages. They have a NZ domain so thought they were from NZ but they are not - this is deceiving as I thought I was supporting a NZ
business.

Hopelessly slow

Hopelessly slow. I ordered online out of convenience but the reality is I could have gone to my local shop and had the prints by now, it’s been 14 days and they are still not here (only 7 prints!) Don’t advertise to NZ customers on a .co.NZ website if you don’t have a local supplier who cant dispatch within a day or 2. Wouldn’t use again

Subpar delivery and tracking

I have still not received my order and it is well overdue. The tracking number does not work, and the tracking link does not work either - takes me to a security phishing website. Once I receive my prints, I won't use photobox again.

Great concept.. Execution not so much!

I really enjoyed using the website. It was easy to use and the concept is amazing! I can’t wait to receive the items. Receiving the items seems to be the actual issue. I created my photo box on 11 May and paid for express shipping. One parcel is coming fromAustralia with express shipping I paid for and it’s been stuck in Melbourne airport for the last week and the tracking hasn’t changed since it got there.
The second parcel is coming from Spain! On standard shipping… I thought I paid for express for the whole lot! I would have appreciated the expectation that one of my parcels could come from anywhere in the world.

Got In Touch with customer service and she did not read my email correctly at all… she just told me where my parcels were coming from…. I asked why one was standard when I paid for express?

Great concept…. Execution is not a great experience.

Alert

Alert!
This is not New Zealand based website. Please don’t order if you think it’s New Zealand based and get you your photo quick.
I order some of my baby pics then I get to know they are Australia based but uses New Zealand co.nz. So they can attract nz people.

It's been 4 days my parcel stuck at Melbourne airport. If I know they going to ship from Australia I will never order from them.
Note- I paid extra for express delivery.

I received shockingly bad service

I received shockingly bad service. Firstly it took 3 + emails to create understanding of a system fault. Once that was establishes and a remedy had been agreed upon communication stopped from your service coordinator. I tried many times to reconnect. The product I did receive was of a low printing quality. I ordered 10 x large prints and they were all very washed out in comparison to subsequent prints I had done locally. Very Poor Photobox )-:
