Although Rymans sorted the subsequent delivery’s, (because the contents kept getting broken,) they don’t seam to grasp the concept that if they ensured packages were adequately cushioned, and not just in a plastic bag then a cardboard box the items inside would not get damaged. Three deliveries of the same item!!!

Excellent reaction to the poor delivery service by Yodel

I was disappointed that my order was not delivered by next day delivery, so I contacted Ryman customer services. My concern was immediately addressed and I had a courteous and regretful reply which included a refund of the full cost of the next day delivery.
This problem was not Ryman's fault, but their carriers', so I appreciated their speedy and generous gesture.

Ordered a filing cabinet online

Ordered a filing cabinet online. It was damaged when I unpacked it: packaging was poor so I wasn’t surprised
Contacted customer service, offered refund or collection of damaged articles. I foolishly opted for latter
Collection arranged but courier never turned up, I wasted a day waiting in
Still trying to arrange another resolution, just been told “case closed”….
Find a different supplier, is my advice

Good Afternoon Andrew.

I hope you are well today.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here at Ryman.

I am very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your filing cabinet and the inconvenience caused by the missed collection. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait in for the courier, only for them not to arrive.

I can see that our Customer Care team reached out to you yesterday to confirm that collection has now been arranged for 23/02/2026, as requested.

Once the item has been successfully collected, we will promptly action either a refund or a replacement, depending on your preference. Please rest assured that we are committed to resolving this matter for you as smoothly as possible.

We sincerely apologise again for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while we work to put this right. If you need any further assistance in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have a good day!

Helpful & informative Sales Assistants

I recently went into the Ryman store in Union Street Glasgow . Both assistants, Ryan & Tracy were extremely helpful .
My experience with both Ryan & Tracy reminded me just what a valuable asset sales assistants are - something which cannot be replicated online . Thank you both ! I will definitely be back ( in person !) to this store .

I only got half of my order

I only got half of my order. I spoke to the shop and they said that they would reorder the missing piece, then I had an e-mail saying that I would get a refund, which I did get, so I was a bit confused. I went into the shop to check what was happening and they said that nothing was on order and to order the item again.

Good day Duncan

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent order.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the confusion and inconvenience caused.

We have looked into this, and it appears that the missing item was unfortunately out of stock at the time. This is why a refund was automatically raised by our system instead of the replacement order the store team initially requested.

We are very sorry for the miscommunication between the store and our online systems, and for the frustration of having to visit the shop again to clarify the situation.

Many thanks

Ryman Bromsgrove on a Sunday… dreadful service

Ryman Bromsgrove on a Sunday afternoon..... absolutely miserable young guy behind the counter, no help at all, on his phone. I know the wages are rubbish, I know nobody that age wants to be working on a Sunday, but if you can't offer even the tiniest bit of politeness or customer service, get another job or do something else. Your employer and customers deserves better than that.
