A Farewell Gift That Never Arrived in Time

This has been one of the most frustrating online shopping experiences I have had.

I ordered a photo album as a farewell gift for a close friend who is leaving Ireland after many years. This was not a last-minute purchase. The album cost €90 plus €10 for delivery and contained precious memories collected over years of friendship.

After placing the order, nothing happened for 9 days! The album only went to print after I contacted Photobox and followed up myself. Had I not reached out, I genuinely wonder how much longer it would have sat there untouched.

Once the album was finally dispatched, the problems continued. The promised delivery date came and went, and the tracking has shown the package stuck in customs for a week with no movement and no meaningful updates.

Customer service has been equally disappointing. The live chat left me waiting for over 40 minutes without any response when i finally gave up. When customers are already dealing with significant delays, being ignored by support is simply unacceptable.

I understand that customs and couriers can sometimes cause delays. What I cannot understand is why it took 9 days for the album to even go to print, why customers are not proactively informed when there are delays, and why support is so difficult to reach when something goes wrong.

The most upsetting part is that this album was created for a very specific occasion. A farewell gift cannot simply be given weeks later when the moment has passed. The value of the gift is tied to the occasion, and Photobox’s delays have completely undermined that.

For a company that markets itself around preserving memories and creating meaningful gifts, the service I received has been deeply disappointing. A €100 order, missed deadlines, poor communication, unresponsive customer service, and a gift that did not arrive in time for the event it was created for.

I cannot recommend Photobox based on this experience.

Hi Felini!

We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback regarding our service. We greatly appreciate it, as customer feedback plays a vital role in helping us improve and enhance our services. We truly apologise for any inconvenience caused by the unexpected extra fees you encountered when having your order delivered to Ireland.

Please note that due to standard international shipping regulations, customs processing, and local tax requirements between the UK and Ireland, certain consignments may incur additional import duties, VAT, or carrier handling fees upon arrival in the destination country. These charges are determined entirely by local customs authorities and the delivery network, rather than by our company directly.

We would like to make this right for you, so please feel free to reach out to our customer support team directly with your order number. You may use our chat service or send us an email through our websites, use Facebook or Instagram to contact us, or call us on 0330 053 3353. All our contact information is easily accessible on our website: Photobox (https://service.storiogroup.com/hc/en-gb/p/contact).

We appreciate your patience and understanding. 

Kind regards, Photobox!

Always pleased when I use photobox

Always pleased when I use photobox, I've had issues in the past with products and they are always very quick to either replace the product or give a refund. Such a good company to deal with, and I always order from them. Quality is great and delivered in a quick and timely fashion.

Appalling

Appalling. Website pretended to be an .ie domain. Once ordered, discovered its a UK website. Waited ages for order, then had to pay customs fee nearly same price as photos. Quality of photos dreadful. Had some printed out different suppliers, these were appalling. Avoid.

No delivery yet and poor customer service

Placed my order 21st May and still no sign of my delivery. This company use Evri for delivery, and they are notoriously bad. I chose this company for quality but cannot ignore the bad service. I emailed their customer service Friday morning and still no response. I’ve now emailed requesting a refund… I will not use this company again. AVOID!

Great quality/value

Its actually about the quality of the end product. Eg Google offers print service but the quality is just terrible. This site is intuitive, fast and has a good range of products. Prices are great and like I say, quality is high

Photobox.ie - Will be charged customs fees!!

In Ireland and ordered via the Photobox.ie site, reasonable expectation not to have to pay additional customs vat and fees which turned out to be twice the value of the prints (over 8.91€!!!). Won’t be paying it, photos can stay with customs. Waste of money. Should be made clear upfront rather than buried in T&C. Close to being dishonest by Photobox. Other companies are able to address customs fees upfront, Photobox obviously chose not to.

UPDATE:
With regards to the reply:
“Orders placed on the Photobox.ie site are processed and shipped from outside Ireland, which means customs charges may apply depending on local regulations”
It’s an Irish domain website shipping to Ireland, there is no expectation by the user to have to pay customs fees!! IOSS should have been used by Photobox (as it has done on previous orders). That said, I’m happy to report that Photobox have refunded in full all custom fees and related charges.

What went wrong is simple..I bought…

What went wrong is simple..I bought photos from photobox.ie which should be based in Ireland based on the .ie website, but then received a demand from from an post for an additional 12 euro to cover vat and administrative costs because photobox.ie is based in the UK and therefore the EU customer needs to pay additional charges. UK companies should not be allowed to trade with a .ie unless they are willing to absorb these additional costs.
