Top service and great print!

I've been using Route 1 Print for many, many years now. They're well priced allowing me to give clients great deals on quality print. The quality is superb and on the off-chance it isn't for whatever reason they have always fixed it. Their delivery is usually very quick and clients loooove it. The amount of products and finishes they offer covers 90% of the print I need.

The customer service and artworking teams are great, very patient, friendly, answer queries with good explantations and go out of their way to to solve any issues that may crop up and this graphic designer right herrreee (me) genuinely really appreciates it.

I've been meaning to write a review for a while so, special shout outs to Chloe (studio manager), Bex (artworker), Lisa (artworker), Hannah (artworker), Steph (artworker), Jodie (artworker), Callum (artworker), Elina (account exec) and the rest of your teams!

I gave them another chance.

Late, not full delivery and terrible quality.

Customer service is as bad, with little to no help and another load of excuses from multiple people, who don't know print and care even less.

Hi Laura, I’m really sorry this has been your experience. That’s not the level of service we want to give, and I’d like to look into what’s happened here. If you can share your order number, I’ll pick this up personally.

I had an issue with both some business cards and Christmas cards on my recent order, and Ashley handled it brilliantly. They took the time to review the files with me, explained what had gone wrong, and arranged a reprint quickly without any fuss. Communication was clear and reassuring throughout, which made the whole process stress-free.

Really appreciate the support — great service and a big thank you to Ashley for resolving everything so efficiently.

Superb Team

I had a fantastic experience with Route1Print, thanks to Ashley Doughty. She went above and beyond to make sure my order arrived on time, even upgrading the delivery so it would reach me on Saturday. This really helped me out as the order was urgent and needed to be ready without delay.

Ashley’s communication was friendly, clear, and efficient—she genuinely cared about getting things sorted for me. It’s rare to find such proactive customer service these days, and she definitely made my day easier.

Highly recommend Route1Print, and a special thank you to Ashley for her outstanding support!

Crazy Decision!

Crazy Decision!
Use Route1 regularly for many many things, they print a quarterly magazine for us and have done for years, Qty always approx 1300 perfect bound, just tried to order again and told that as they are busy this time of year they cannot accept our order for this quantity!!! They have now lost this business for every quarter for this Magazine and I will be looking elsewhere for everything else as well!

Hi Trilby,

I'm sorry you've found this disappointing.

As a business, we've fallen down in previous years with not removing work from the website quickly enough, that we are unable to achieve due to how busy we are during our peak period.

I appreciate that this will mean some orders will need to go elsewhere at the moment while our work levels steady, but we've made the decision to only offer what we currently feel comfortable doing to avoid letting our customers down.

If you need support with anything else, please let me know

Thanks,
Becky

They used to be very good and reliable

They used to be very good and reliable, but nearly every job is late or quality is awful and jobs rejected.
This is embarrassing as a reseller and I need reliable printers to work with. I understand there can be issues and delays with print, but this is nearly every order I have am having a problem with recently.
I wouldn't currently recommend them and getting fobbed off with excuses is a joke.

I would get new management in to sort this place out and get back to the standard they used to offer.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you very much for your time on the phone today. The late deliveries and quality issues that you have experienced recently are absolutely not acceptable, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience that these have caused you. I hope that the resolution that we have worked out regarding the recent failed job will go some way towards supporting you in making sure that your customer receives the print that they need, and show that we are willing to work with you in trying to earn back your trust.

With warmest regards,

Haydn

It was fantastic to deal Elina Jakobsone from the Route 1 Print Customer Service Team. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in all things print. Throw the Route 1 Print competitive pricing into the mix, and you have a perfect combination.
