Disappointed and misled.

I chose this company after reading some good reviews before almost purchasing with another company. Everything I read at the time said the quality etc was great. I thought the process online was easy when making my book and can’t wait to see the final product HOWEVER THIS COMPANY IS NOT PRINTING PRODUCTS IN AUSTRALIA. I’m disappointed to say the least as nothing on the website specifically tells you this. I have screen shots of the shipping info and the apparent “location” of this company. My order is coming from Malaysia which again is not displayed anywhere on the website that manufacturing is done off site.

The only reason I went with this company was the fact it was “Australian owned” when realistically I should have realised it was too good to be true.


Hopefully the quality of our photo book remains the same but I’m not holding hope and I’m also not relying on the fact that I paid for express shipping for it to arrive within the given time frame because I didn’t realise it was coming from Malaysia !!

Frustrating experience overall

Over the past month, I dedicated time to creating a photobook through the service, spending several weeks assembling it on their platform. This week, they reported a website issue, resulting in the loss of all my work, including the saved history of the project. I feel very disappointed and frustrated, as they haven't been able to recover any part of the book that was nearly ready for printing. This represents weeks of effort lost due to the service's shortcomings. It seems there are no options available to create backup versions of the photobook, which could prevent such a loss. I strongly believe in the importance of backups and am surprised that this service lacks this feature, putting users at risk of losing their hard work. Now, with 20 more books to create from my six-month trip abroad, I am considering switching to another provider.

Loss of weeks of work on photobook

Over the past month, I spent considerable time crafting a photobook through the service, dedicating several weeks to it on their platform. Recently, they reported an issue that resulted in the complete loss of my work, including the saved history. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated as they have been unable to recover any part of my nearly finished book. This is a significant loss of effort due to the service's failures. It appears that there are no options for creating backup versions of the photobook to prevent such incidents. I value backups highly and am surprised that this service does not offer this feature, which puts users at risk of losing their hard work. Now, with 20 more books to create from my trip abroad, I am looking into alternatives.

Third time using the photobook service

I've utilized the photobook service three times now; initially, I found it a bit confusing, but after my first order, I figured it out and am very pleased with the final product. The lay-flat books are genuinely lay-flat with excellent thick paper. I also bought some fridge magnets, which turned out great.

Shipping from overseas is misleading

I placed an order for a photobook a week ago and opted for express shipping, assuming it was coming from Australia since the service is named accordingly. I now realize that it is being shipped from overseas and won't arrive until nearly a week after Christmas. Had I known this, I wouldn't have spent so much on this photobook intended for my mother's Christmas gift. I find this quite misleading and am disappointed that my mum won't receive her present on time.

Misleading promotions and poor service

The service is misleading. They claim 'Free Shipping for orders over a certain amount' on various platforms, including their app. However, after spending a significant sum, I was shocked to see a shipping charge added unexpectedly. Their vague responses to my complaints refer to hidden terms that exclude many orders from the free shipping offer they promote. I hope my next provider for photo books will be more transparent about their fees. Additionally, their application is quite clunky, and the ordering process is frustrating. Any other provider would likely be an improvement.

Satisfied with my recent order

I ordered a photobook of a recent holiday and am generally happy with the photo quality. I recommend allowing users to shuffle pages when designing on a desktop.

Received a damaged book, no resolution

The book arrived in poor condition due to inadequate packing, with all items crammed into a small bag, offering no protection. When I contacted them, they simply apologized, stating it could happen during transit. They offered me a small credit to use in their shop as compensation, which I found unacceptable. This expensive book, intended as a gift, is now useless. I would advise against using this service.

Disappointed with the photobook quality

I ordered two small landscape photobooks and am really let down. The photo quality is poor—images appear grainy and dull, despite uploading high-resolution files. The books feel cheaply made and do not match the 'deluxe' branding at all. To make matters worse, the provided contact email is invalid, making it difficult to seek support. I expected much better quality and service for the price.

Good quality but slow shipping

The quality of the pages was quite good; however, the time taken from notification to shipping was excessively long.
