Fantastic customer service

Just a few words , I had an issue with my DNP 820 Printer. After reaching out to various people I gave a photosmart a call and explained the issue I had been having.
A gentleman on tech support by the name of Iliyan Hristov gave me step by step instructions over the phone. His knowledge and expertise was a great help.
Just thought I would share my experience with others.

Iliyan You’re the best!

I want to leave a great review for Iliyan Hristov at Photomart for the outstanding help he gave me with an IT issue on my WCM Plus printer kit.

I had been struggling to resolve the problem and couldn’t get the support I needed elsewhere, but Iliyan stepped in and helped when no one else could. He was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely professional throughout the whole process. He quickly understood the issue, explained everything clearly, and made sure the problem was fully resolved.

His technical expertise and willingness to go the extra mile made a huge difference. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to customer support and genuinely committed to helping.

Thank you, Iliyan, for your excellent service—I highly recommend both you and Photomart!

New Laptop and Printer driver issues/ now resolved

I was in a bit of a pickle as my new MSI windows 11 Laptop is new to me.
I want to hook it up with my Mitsubishi dye printer as my old Dell inspiron has a smaller screen and I didn't know how to progress with this as Mitsubishi do not support with the drivers like in the past.
I called Photomart who I have used over the years and remembered there was a tech specialist named Illiyan who was always helpful back in the day when I bought my first dye sublimation old Kodak printer.
I sent Illiyan an email after contacting thebphotomart team.
And his response was swift and very helpful and he provided me with the current 64 bit drivers I required to set up the new 17" Laptop with my oldie but goodie Mitsubishi printer.
There was no one else I could have contacted and the online help bia Google was long and no answers
So this Tech man has been a god - send and he knows his stuff and help me install the drivers on the laptop
So now I.am ready for this weekend event
Illiyan was very courteous and professional when I called him direct as I am not technical , and he has made this possible

Giving thanks he's still at Photomart and on the other end of the phone

We appreciate your continued trust in Photomart and wish you the very best with your upcoming event.

Would not recommend them

Would not recommend them. I purchased a studio lighting kit which included an umbrella and soft box. They never sent the soft box and when I contacted them they made up all sorts of excuses telling me that I didn’t not click each item individually even though I ordered exactly what was on their website as a complete kit. Then as a gesture of goodwill the manager sent me another umbrella which is of very inferior quality. The reflectors I also had to order separately as now I did not have a soft box, did not even fit the lights at all and they refused to take it back saying it was past the date to return in spite of me never being happy from the first instance. They will lie and do everything to avoid you after they have got your money. Not a trustworthy company at all !

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear you’ve been left feeling disappointed.

We do regret that things didn’t go smoothly with your order. We tried to resolve the missing softbox at the time by sending an alternative at our own cost after you agreed, but we completely understand that this wasn’t the solution you were hoping for. We’re also sorry to hear that the reflectors weren’t compatible with your setup. While our returns window had passed as there was a 7 week gap when this was brought to our attention, it’s clear you’d been frustrated from early on and we’re sorry if that wasn’t properly acknowledged.

We never want a customer to feel ignored or let down. Your feedback has been shared with our team and management so we can review how we handle situations like this moving forward.

Best wishes,
The Photomart Team

Hi Jack,

We’re sorry to hear you felt this way and truly regret that your experience left you disappointed.

We always aim to resolve matters fairly and within the terms agreed at the time of purchase. In this case, the item was dispatched following a confirmed change to the order, where there was no written request for cancellation beforehand, which is why it was processed as normal with the changed address.

Once the parcel was refused at delivery and returned to us unopened, we offered to issue a refund minus the courier charge, which is standard for refused B2B deliveries. We appreciate that you disagreed with this approach, and we’re sorry it led to frustration.

We’ve taken note of your feedback and will continue to review how we handle these situations to ensure clarity for all customers going forward.

Best wishes,
The Photomart Team

Terrible service, terrible product and total liars

Terrible service, website crashed at payment, tried several methods to contact and was completely ignored til I chased them 3 times on the phone! Lied in a Facebook review reply saying they didn’t have contact details when I gave my email in the Facebook message (which was apparently unclear!?) they said I did not email which was a lie as I have the sent email, and I had to tell them the price was different to what theirs website took from my card as that product was actually out of stock! The guy on the phone couldn’t care less if he tried!!!

To add insult, the product is flimsy and cheap looking, yet a similar price to another supplier of much higher quality!

Hi there,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, it’s clear this situation caused a great deal of frustration, and that’s never what we want for any of our customers.

We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to encounter issues at checkout and then feel ignored when you tried to follow up. We aim to respond promptly across all channels, and we’re sorry if your messages weren’t picked up as quickly as they should have been.

With regard to the pricing error and stock issue, we acknowledge that our system allowed a payment to go through for an item that had just gone out of stock, and for that we sincerely apologise. We’ve since been reviewing our inventory syncing and online checkout process to help avoid this happening again.

We’re also sorry to hear that the product didn’t meet your expectations. Since this review, we have changed manufacturer of mounts, taking what you said on board and now supplier higher quality mounts.

Best regards,
The Photomart Team

Avoid!! Your return will cost a lot for you. Will never buy again

Avoid!!! Bought item for 817£. Decided to go for another studio lighting and after 7 days wanted to make a return and buy another light. First of all there were no information about the return (in the email or in the invoice/delivery slip), emailed them, no respond for 3 days, after 4 more emails, finally responded saying: "we can arrange collection for you it will be £15.00 + vat and 15% re-stocking fee!!!! Just count 15% from the amount of 817£! I have not even open my box with delivery. My delivery was still packed as received. And I will have to pay for restocking? For just putting the item on the shelve again? Will never buy from them again and not recommend to others! Avoid!!!

Hi Leva,

We’re sorry to hear you were unhappy with how your return request was handled, we understand that switching products can sometimes be part of the process when setting up a studio, and we regret that this experience left you feeling let down.

As a B2B supplier, our terms differ slightly from consumer retail sites. Our return policy, which includes a standard 15% restocking fee, is clearly stated on our website and is in place to help cover the handling and processing costs involved, even when an item is unopened. We appreciate that this may have come as a surprise, especially if the return information wasn’t immediately visible on your delivery paperwork, and we’ll review how we can make those details easier to find going forward.

We’re also sorry for the delay in replying to your emails. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide, and we’ll be looking into what caused the communication gap in this instance.

Thank you again for your feedback, we value it, even when it's critical, as it helps us improve.

Best regards,
The Photomart Team

Horrible little company, kept my money and did not dispatch goods

Fantastic little company if you want liars and cheats! Order for approx £900 paid via credit card online around mid Feb 19. Received a call stating 'due to security reasons' I must pay via bank transfer as its my first order. I initially thought this was strange as its the first company in 35 years who have said this! As any normal person would do, I waiting for my refund on my credit card so I could pay via bank transfer. 1 month later I got in touch via phone with 'J' 'P', asking for my full refund as I felt something was not right. I was advised on 4 different occasions a refund had been processed and it can take upto 7 days to show on my account. I waited 14 days still nothing. I then got in touch via email stating my concerns and they refused to put it in an email that they had refunded me after me asking a number of times for proof of this. In the end they stopped responding after I quoted section 75 of the consumer credit act 1974, at which point they cc'd their legal team into it and disabled my photomart account, I had also included one of the directors but it seems like the whole company is crooked. I will now look at passing this to action fraud to look into. Horrible horrible little company to deal with. I have since ordered with their competitor who have been the total opposite. Good riddance to photo mart.

Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry for the stress and frustration caused during your order process.

To clarify, the refund has since been completed, and we do sometimes request bank transfer on first-time high-value orders as a precaution against fraud. However, we recognise that this created unnecessary confusion in your case, and the delay in refunding your payment was unacceptable. You should have received clearer communication and faster resolution.

We understand your concerns and regret that your experience with us led to such a negative impression. Your feedback has been shared internally to help us improve how we handle similar situations in future.
