The books are of high quality and after getting used to the software, it is easy to put a book toget
I am a new customer of the Photobook Club and I am very pleased with the results of the books I ordered. It didn't take me long to get used to the software, although I had to ring them a couple of times to explain a few issues. They are easy to talk to and very helpful, so far there isn't one issue they could not solve for me quickly.
Where I went over the top is by buying too many books at once and now have to spend a lot of time to get several books filled before the vouchers expire. Live and learn.

Worst online photobook experience
My mother-in-law purchased a 100 page photobook via Groupon and asked me to help her create the book. I have used other photobook websites a number of times so I thought it would be a straight forward process to create the book she wanted. It wasn't! The PhotobookClub is the WORST website I have used for creating photobooks for the following reasons:
software is not intuitive.
time-consuming - cropping photos takes multiple steps, as does pretty much everything you need to do including scrolling through background choices etc..
glitchy - mul...Read more

photobooks
I love this photobook club, I use them all the time for my books. I have rang them for some issues and have got great responses, ben was very helpful. The quality of my books are great. I have no problems with uploading photos. I have been using them for 5 years now and never had a problem.

After Frustrated comes Satisfaction
Due to the company's takeover and growth I was left with a deadline and the advertised contact means were not functioning. Eventually I made contact and a solution was found.
I anticipate their communication problems going away but want to make it clear that their photobooks are EXCELLENT and I will continue using them .

Quality is not up to scratch. Customer service is pathetic.
I have used several on-line photo developers. This mob are by far the worst. The process of putting together an order involves far too many hoops to jump through and the software is full of glitches. The customer service, if you could call it that, is woeful. If you have a problem, the attitude seems to be "too bad but we've already got your money". Use a local service, or if you have to take your chances on-line, there are much better options out there. Avoid.

Not delivering as promised
If there is a negative rating, I would put negative on this.
My voucher extension was not honoured. I have tried to contact them many times, but I was ignored. I am thoroughly disappointed with them. Even after showing their own email to say that the voucher should still be valid on the day that I was going to use it, they ignored it.They do not care about their customer!!!
All those amount of work I put in to have my photobook printed on the voucher I bought, and the extension that they granted me - useless!!! A waste of time, a waste of my money.
They said they will look into it, it's almost 3 weeks now, not a word from them.

Do not use, will get extra $ from you
I have ordered acrylic paint. I have used the template provided, all I did was to drag the picture onto the template. week after I ordered they emailed me that the photo is not stretched all the way and that they will reprint it if I pay
$50 they also refused to send me the original print.
I bought few coupons at once I also had picture book, book turned up ok but had issues in finalising ordered and uploading files.

Do not use this website!
This is the worst site/ company I have had to deal with! I bought a voucher from Groupon for a chopping board, that was all fine. Then trying to create an account for thephotobookclub was a nightmare and then the log in into my account would not work, in the meantime I had sent a couple of emails, they did not reply to my issue but they did however send survey requests to see how they dealt with my problem. After calling them I was able to sort it out, designed my chopping board, saved it to finish another day and now they say my login does not exist, tried calling 4 times this morning and each time after 5 minutes wait they hang up on me. Do not use this site!

Choose another company
Not only did they send my order (which was supposed to be a Christmas gift!) as half the photo book repeated twice, but they've never once responded to my complaint regarding the book or their shocking customer service. Avoid, avoid.

Love this company.
I have ordered canvases and photobooks through this company and have been very happy every time. The colours are great. I like the way it will warn you while creating your book if a photo isn't top quality so you can change it if necessary. I haven't had a problem with then yet. I also like how you can extend your voucher if you forget to use it like I did and was upset that I had waisted my money.

unclear instructions
I bought a voucher for 3 calendars, I assumed when I ordered as I ordered straight from the deal that 1 meant one voucher or the 3 calendars that I had paid for, BUT no it means one calendar and they just said bad luck you have used your voucher and next time follow the instructions . THERE will not be a next time for me.

Success is in the planning, not making it ad hoc
I am a happy with this production service and am making another book with them. The first time I used them the colour was not good but they replaced the books and the colour was great. I have had a few issues working out how to do things but found the service in Manila friendly and helpful. The software is very basic and not intuitive, but after a few attempts I found that writing the text in MS Word to spell check and editing photos in Photoshop before adding them makes me plan the book to the last detail. Success is in the planning, not makin...Read more
g it ad hoc. I showed the photo canvas prints to my boss and she ordered three of them on the spot. Now, I produce the book and then buy the vouchers and don't pay for express post. It niggles me a bit that I have to buy a draft copy because I cannot print from my computer if I am making multiple copies but I understand why this is so (why else would I use them). They make wonderful gifts for people who like to hold a book to look at photos, as digital images don't have the same appeal.2 comments
I have had over 30 books printed and a similar number of canvases. While there were a few poor printings Photoshop reprinted them and they were fine. However, the last few books were very dark and the... Read more

The Photobooks and Calendars turn out beautifully
I have done about 9 calendars and 10 photo books with this Company. I am completely happy with their quality of work and service. Have only had 1 problem sending a large photobook for printing, but once I put it on a disc and sent it to them it was fine. The quality of the items is fantastic. I have never been disappointed with anything they have done for me.

Also puzzled and unhappy...will be furious if not resolved!!
I too can't work out how to order my book. My voucher says. 'Once (your book is) completed, proceed to our order page, enter your Voucher Code and click "redeem".
Couldn't be easier, I thought, except that once I've clicked on order, there is a cart with a price which bears no resemblance to my voucher cost, unless the postage is twice as much as the voucher, AND
nowhere can I find anywhere to enter my voucher code.
I have done all the things that Denise suggests in her 5star review, with the above result.

Discusting service
I couldn't be more unhappy with the service i haven't received!! I have wasted so many hours thanks to this company. I still haven't even managed to get the books ordered!! If i hadn't spent so much time on this i would throw my vouchers in the bin and use another company but i want my books now iv wasted the time,
I will never recommend this company to anyone, nor will i use it ever again. And as for cudo they should state how difficult it is to actually follow through with your order!! instead they intise you to buy more.

Excellent Company
Buy a voucher, use it by the date given. Most vouchers last for six months and yes you do have to pay extra if you want to extend, read the fine print which is quite obvious. Use the auto correct button to try and fix your photos, it does not always work but most time it does. For those complaining about limited backgrounds, add your own it is very easy. I have hundreds added, you can also add Scrapbook items. I have had one printing problem with a six book order, they were replaced immediately after sending a photo in. Any time I have asked a ...Read more
question they have answered my query. I have used many companies, I find value for money this one wins hands down. I do not print my photos anymore as I find doing one album per year is much better. I have never had a problem with colour. I order sometimes 12 to 20 items per year. The one thing I do not like is the fact you cannot cover the company name on the front of the calendar, and I did make the mistake of purchasing a 3 calendar voucher when I needed three different ones, my fault. Use an editing program to fix your photos before adding them to the items. I find the ten dollar soft cover book great to give friends and relatives with photos of an event. I love the way you can start a book and then when nearly completed wait for a special and purchase a voucher. I now have quite a few items in production and I know they will arrive before Christmas.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Worst company to deal with, never again!
I have used this company for over a year, mainly because they are cheap, but I have had many issues with them. printing colours are often off, usually too green, but sometimes too blue. Very poor customer service, I bought x3 calendars and didn't realise all 3 had to be purchased at the same time. When I contacted the company via email to say the code isn't working they said I had to pay $ to get another coded issued. Then I said just print the calendar in your system another 2 times to make up my voucher and she said no. They are just so hard ...Read more
to deal with. She wouldnt put me through to management and there is no number to call and speak with anyone directly. Once I have used my existing vouchers they have lost me as a customer. I don't recomend! spend a bit more and you will get a better product with better customer service.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Fabulous!
I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I have produced and received 5 absolutely beautiful books in different sizes and a puzzle. My 6th book is on its way to being delivered to me within 2 days of me uploading it. Friends who have used other similar services such as snapfish etc have all commented that the quality of the paper used is far better than the other brands. Software is easy to use and purchasing a breeze using the voucher system, not to mention cheaper. During the course of uploading one book I cancelled the ...Read more
order mid way (which you should not do) as I had found an error. I therefore voided my order and my voucher. My email to their office had the problem promptly rectified trouble free within 1 business day. This company has made the days of the boring photo albums a thing of the past for me.Similar opinion?

Poor Customer Service particularly if there is a problem with their printing
I have used the Photobook club for a number of years and patronized this company well however whilst I find my images come out quite good, their service when there is an issue with their final product is extremely poor. I have recently had 2 books replaced when both arrived damaged on numerous pages, and then one of the replacements which was sent had the bottom half of the title/text on the front cover chopped off making it unreadable - all the other pages had also been printed 1/2 cm lower to the bottom edge. After sending 4 emails and photos...Read more
of the problem 3 separate times I am being given the run around ..i.e promised an email about follow up and then I am ignored and so I send another email and are promised there will be a follow up and then I am ignored again and so on its goes!. There must be issues with quality control as this is not the first order that I have had where the delivered books where damaged and its not just photobooks - its been magnets as well. After frustrating customer service and being ignored - there is nothing about this company at this time I would see as a positive. Extremely poor customer service and followup if there is a problem with booksSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Disappointing
I have bought several vouchers from The Photobook Club and I have not been able to download the books that I had spent weeks making I have had problems downloading books, logging in to use vouchers and list goes on. My latest is acrylic print which I cannot see any options for, I only have options for photobooks and I'm waiting for a reply from support desk, wont hold my breath!
no support with problems that arise.

I have bought several gift vouchers in the past but now I cannot see how to send them to someone else.
Do I just buy it in my own name and forward it to them? I am sure I haven't had to do this in the past.
I cant change the delivery email address without changing my own.
