Popped into the Plymouth store

Popped into the Plymouth store to see if I could get some individual Epsom inks. Although they didn't have what I wanted, the assistant checked online and found where I could get them. Very helpful. I ordered the inks via the Ryman online store as he suggested and got exactly what I wanted.

CLAIRE is extraordinary @ Ryman’s

Today -11/05/26 @17:35, CLAIRE, the clerk at Ryman Stationary/Shandwick Place, gave us EXCEPTIONAL service.
We are foreign travelers who needed help navigating the online form to send a package via DHL (not as easy as it sounds) and Claire patiently helped us complete the process WHILE multi-tasking 5 other customers. She never lost her cool. We watched her work as an interpreter for two elderly people at the same time as helping us. Claire deserves extra special recognition for her attitude, work ethic and complete competence.

Not as good as it should be

Ordered shredding sacks for confidential waste. The instructions made it sound like it was easy to get a convenient collection date but sadly this wasn’t true. We did arrange one eventually but it wasn’t easy. Also their click and collect service is weirdly slow. It’s quicker to have an order delivered to your home than to one of their stores which seems the wrong way round- why offer it then?!

Hi Anita,

Thank you for your review and I am sorry to hear this.

To provide some clarity, our shredding service is run by The Shredding Alliance. Whilst they do try to provide multiple collection dates, sometimes due to logistics or timings, these can be quite limited, however I am glad that this has been sorted.

With our click and collect service, all products available in store will be available to be collected on the date of purchase, however sometimes stock does need to be shipped from our warehouse. This can delay the collection by a few days, however this can be viewed during checkout for your reference.

Thank you again and if you need anything further, please let us know.

Ryman's had the right products at the right price and delivered them promptly. One of them was damaged in the post. Rymans was easily contacted and supplied a replacement the next day.
I can highly recommend their service.

Ordering was easy but delivery problems spoiled the experience.

Ordering our storage items was easy and straightforward. However delivery was more problematic. We were given a delivery date that did not suit us so we changed it for a day we would be at home. Sadly that either wasn't seen or accepted by the courier and they tried to deliver it anyway but we were out! Using the card they left to rearrange another delivery date didn't work as there was no reference number given. Eventually we were able to track our order online and rearranged another day. When the 2 parcels arrived they were damaged but the courier left before we could open them. When we did unpack them there was damage to several wheels and also 2 drawers. When l phoned Ryman the person l spoke to was helpful but the reception was very poor so having a conversation was quite difficult. Eventually she understood my problem, apologised and agreed to send me replacements for the broken items at no charge. I was given a date for their arrival a week later. Amazingly these replacements arrived the very next day which was brilliant! Amusingly it was the same courier who was amazed l had ordered 2 identical parcels the next day. When l informed him they were replacements as the first lot were broken he was quite shamefaced and left quickly. So thank you Rymans for being so efficient at replacing my order. It is a pity that the couriers aren't quite as organised at delivering on the right days or treating the parcels with enough care so as to avoid damage in transit.

Reliable and Customer Service Focused

Rymans is a reliable supplier of stationary and accessories at a reasonable price. Customer service is second to none and saves time while shopping because the assistant is able to direct me directly to the item(s) I want. The Rymans Reward is a worthwhile additional service.

Shocking customer service and atittude

If you're looking for slow service, rude staff, and incompetent customer service, this is the perfect place (Ryman at Arndale). Second-hand embarrassment from how painful and cringeworthy it was navigating the staff's dismissive attitude today (3 May 2026), which hasn't been initiated by myself at all. Just a PSA for others :) x

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We note your comments regarding your visit to our Manchester Arndale store on 3rd May 2026. We are sincerely sorry to hear about the slow service and the dismissive attitude you encountered from our staff. This certainly does not reflect the professional and helpful standards we expect from our team members.

Please be assured that your feedback has been escalated to the store’s Area Manager for a formal review. They will look into the conduct and service levels you described to ensure the necessary improvements are made.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and allowing us the opportunity to address it.

Kind regards,

Ryman Customer Relations

I would like say a huge thank you to Tom at the Birmingham City Centre Store

I would like say a huge thank you to the staff at the Birmingham City Centre store. Especially Tom. My daughter, running in the Birmingham Half Marathon/The Great Run the next day, did not have her name on her running number like it was meant to. The female assistant was very helpful giving product details, waiting times and prices to rectify the situation. Tom - an absolute asset to your team then did the honours. Tom who was rushed off of his feet with a growing queue at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon, made a name badge to exactly match the colour, font and size of the number badge. It wasn't the easiest of tasks and at no point did he waver. Always polite and professional. Thank you so so much. You have made one runner a very happy young lady.
