From start to finish the process was very well managed, and the team were very easy to communicate with. Any questions I had were answered. Would gladly work with CMS again for any future mailouts.

Good Service

Polite and efficient, provided CMS remain competitive we will continue to use them for our annual brochure mail-out. So much more cost-effective than printing labels, applying them to envelopes and sticking on stamps! Could have done with feedback once the mailing was complete.

Easily 6 Star!

I started working with this company about a year ago and I cannot fault them. They have delivered on time, every time and the customer service is fantastic.

Quality control very poor however positive response to rectify issues raised

Initial Review
We booked 3 or 4 postcard mailing campaigns. The first was OK and we were reasonably pleased, the second went wrong at QA check and the third was absolutely awful. They admitted the error was entirely their fault and they had printed over 50% of the postcards in the wrong colour. After a few mail exchanges they then tried to put the blame on us even though we had supplied the Pantone. We was offered a partial reprint however they could not guarantee would meet the required standards and they wanted us to pay the postage! .We asked for a refund instead which they refused hiding behind a page of excuses. We have cancelled the remainder of our campaigns with them.

Update 2nd October - since this review CMS have moved quickly to resolve the issues raised. They have also promised to make additional QA checks to ensure we do not have the same problems again. This is a very positive response and as such I have altered this review from 1 star to 3 stars.

Hi Philip,

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback.

I am very sorry your were dissatisfied & apologise for the inconvenience caused.

From the 3 mailings we have processed for you, I understand you were happy with the first order we processed for you hence why you placed the second order. We were supplied with low resolution artwork by you for the second campaign which was supplied in the wrong format resulting in the artwork not matching your corporate colours. 3rd mailing: we digitally print your work so we are unable to pantone colour match - this requires litho printing, however, i agree that the colour did not meet our quality standards in terms of matching your corporate colours, we have been very fair by offering you a full credit including postage for all items effected which i believe you have accepted and discussed further work with us. You were also given the option of a free re-mail for all items effected - which you have declined.

As discussed we have added new procedures to your account.

We look forward to successfully working with you for future campaigns.

Thanks
