Ryman Stationery Reviews 

Placed an online order for A1 size Foam Board but I received A2 size. When I called Rymans Customer Service to request the correct size, they said they had no process to do this - instead, they would arrange to collect the incorrect product and provide a refund and it was up to me to place a new order. When I asked why they could not arrange this for me, they said that the warehouse would probably just send the wrong product again. I reluctantly tried to place a new online order with Rymans but the product is now showing as out of stock. So I've now ordered it from Amazon.

easy to order on line and pick up went very well.

Five stars. Excellent Thank you.

Very nice. Good.

It was an excellent transaction from start to finish - taking only 6 days (including collection of shredder and delivery of replacement). My shredder had stopped working and I asked for repair or replacement under the warranty

Great service for sure, and delivery was on time. Even with a broken part, replacement came very quick, no fuss.

Speedy, efficient service when I needed some important documents printed and my printer had stopped working.

My partner and I visited Ryman Stationery on Orpington High Street on March 15, 2026, to collect £100 my aunt had sent via Western Union. We anticipated a quick and straightforward transaction but were met with a rather disappointing experience.

When I approached the staff member to collect the money, he informed me they lacked sufficient cash to dispense the £100. This unexpected turn of events left me both surprised and frustrated. Given that the shop offers Western Union services, it’s reasonable to expect they’ll be prepared to provide the funds for customers collecting their transfers.

The inconvenience compounded our disappointment. We had travelled there expecting a hassle-free collection and instead left empty-handed, forced to seek alternative locations. This unnecessary stress and wasted time were truly frustrating.
I hope the store improves this service in the future. It’s very disappointing and frustrating to be told there’s no cash available when collecting money through Western Union. This inefficient service from Ryman Stationery on Orpington High Street is unacceptable. I hope the management investigate this and should not happen again.

helpful staff and friendly

Staff in store were really polite and helpful, the order process was nice and easy too. A good price too

I recently went in looking for a particuar item which I didn't buy but I did purchase a couple of other items. There was a notice about a discount card, so I joined. This is good news - as we all like a bit of a discount!

Order came quickly and to a high standard but due how the website works the order was incorrect.
You put your options in before uploading the documents.
So I originally put in: B&W, double sided, not bound. I then uploaded my document, a 180 page PDF and decided I actually did want it to be bound.
I went back and selected the bound option, reuploaded the PDF (as it gets rid of it when you go back) and ordered.
What I received was a 180 page document as it was printed on single side.
I discovered that when you go back to make changed to the options, it resets all the previous options you selected. This meant that when I went back to add it being bound, it reset to single side print.
I contacted customer service three times regarding this and was told that they will not offer a resolution as it is my fault. I explained that it is a fault with the ordering form and technically not my mistake but a fault with their ordering forms.
The document cost me £70 and I am now expected to pay another £70 if I want to reorder it double sided (which I had selected in the first place).
Not even so much as offered a discounted rate, or a partial refund, for the current unsuitable item.
Terrible customer service and faulty ordering form.

Apparently internal miscommunication equals the customer is wrong and loses money?

Went in to the Canterbury store on Sunday 8th March and the two girls there were lovely. We explained what we needed the print for, the sizing we needed and they were super excited to use the new printing machine at the store and see it do its work. We left the store and went home. Added the print where it was going and it was very clear the sizing was completely off to what we asked for. Called the store immediately so I can speak to the team members that knew who we were, they said no problem just come back in and we will have it ready for you. I said that’s fine but we won’t be in till next weekend as we both work Monday to Friday, she said no problem she will leave a note for the whole team so they’re all aware of the misprint, and asked us to email the sizing to them with the image again with the subject line “misprint”. We do so right away. We go back on the Saturday thinking the print would be ready for us, to be told that the lady at the till had to get her manager for this who was in the other room - she found the note on the till with our names on and that it was a misprint and went to get the manager. The manager then comes out, says she has not looked into the note that’s been there for 6 days. Fine, no problem, we are more than happy to wait while she looks into it. Asks us where the print was that was incorrect, said that we were just asked to pop in to grab the new print and they’d have it ready for us. She said sorry the lady has been off on holiday who we had spoken to so she’s not done it. Asked us for the receipt as she can’t try printing again or doing a refund, we never had one so we showed the transaction on our phone and she went to the pc and found the transaction and printed the receipt from their end. She said that for a refund to be completed we needed to come back with the misprint, that we had binned as we were told we just needed to pop in to get the new one that would be done. She checked the measurements again and said that the machine they have would have NEVER been able to do the sizing that we asked for, and had always been asking for. That’s fine, if we had been told this initially. It’s also fine, if we were given a refund. She said she needed us to leave and come back so she can speak to the manager (was she not the manager as we had already been told twice she was? Anyway…). She said come back in 15 minutes. We leave and come back, to be told a very robotic answer of once a customer leaves the store, in printing, you are a happy customer and you are not entitled to any refunds once you leave the store. Funny how that wasn’t the case when we were discussing refunds half hour earlier. I also made the very good point of “we didn’t have a tape measure with us so we didn’t know it was wrong till we got home, and called up immediately to speak to the girls” only for her to start talking over me and my husband, say she’s “shaking and can’t speak to two people at once” and that they will not be issuing a refund or doing another print. We left the store as this was already such a waste of time and money. Print was £21.49 and parking was £3.70 for her wasting our time this morning so @rymans get in touch because this is ridiculous. Thanks!

Visited the shop at Shandwick Place in Edinburgh and was served by Iga. She was excellent and extremely helpful.

Recommend store and customer service 👍

Great prompt service. Friendly staff

Polite, friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately, two sets were missing parts. One set was missing a brush, and the other was missing the sharpener's blade. I haven't opened the other set because it was a gift, so I don't know if it's missing anything. But both sets had missing parts.

I bought some cello bags that said they fitted 6x6 cards. They do fit the cards but not if you put an envelope with it which is ridiculous because a card needs an envelope

Always my favorite place to go to! I love buying pens and stationery and Ryman has the best selection and offers. Lovely employees who are always helpful and friendly makes my visits even better 😊
