Ordered a canvas online of a photo I had taken. I love it, arrived in reasonable time and looks great. I have had about 7 canvases done over the years and always been thrilled with the quality and end result. I also got this while on sale which saved a lot of money. Show details

Damaged print received after 3 and a half weeks of waiting – It’s pretty bad, paid a lot of money for a metal print. Waited almost 4-weeks only to find it damaged and bent on pickup. Show details
Worst experience – Worst product in a few months they started running when I approached bigw they said they only have 60day policies no refund or replacement, stick on photos Show details

So dull – So disappointed in the print quality of the sticky prints. The stickers themselves feel good quality and seem to stick well, although I only got them today, but the colour and quality of the photos is terrible. Even the professional black and white photos seem to look out of focus and lackluster. Show details

Great print quality – I’m an amateur ocean and surf photographer and have been trying different places to create a photo book of my pics. The photo book I received from BigW was not only the most reasonably priced but in my opinion the best quality, couldn’t be happier with the result. Have already ordered more books at a larger size.
Positive reviews
This is the first time I have had a problem with Big W photos after many successful projects. Cheryl sent a quick reply and was able to help me and reassure me that all photos were uploaded in my photobook. Thank You.
Query re cards I received – The customer service I received from Cheryl H was so far above what anyone could expect to receive - it was prompt, efficient, most helpful and polite and respectful of my issue.
Great cutomer service – I experienced a glitch with the server when submitting a calendar order, resulting in a double payment. Cheryl from customer service was easily reached and promptly arranged a refund. I have used BigW Photos for a number of years now as the photo quality is excellent at a very reasonable price with quick delivery times. Show details
Negative reviews
Soooo disappointed. When you pay over $200 (on sale)for a photo book, you expect good quality. Before I even get to the photos, front and back cover of album has marks all over it. Then all the pages that have full length photos,the photos are a centremetre or more short, but the top of photos go to the very top of page (on my computer before… Read more
ordering the photos were right to the very top and bottom of page. There's line marks across most pages where something has marked the pages. And some photos are darker than the original photo. This was supposed to be a wedding gift,and I'm embarrassed to give this. The quality of this photo book is certainly not worth what you charge.
Worst online service ever – Online service is awful. I chose a photo, created a project for a canvas print and spent hours toadjust and edit it and now I keep receiving an error that item can't be added to the shopping cart. It's the 5th times now and I'm going to give up and use another company's canvas pronting service. So disappointing!!!
Calendar building / projects = atrocious – Absolute piece of garbage website. Building a calendar, get to November and it will no longer save and state "error saving project, please try again"...EVERY TIME. Have started again and again, screen-shotting what I've done so i know placements each time. Reduced image sizes substantially and still doesn't work. I have another calendar here from… Read more
a family member that was made in a previous year and that has more photos in it, so i know too many photos is not the issue. Looking at other reviews / comments i can clearly see that it is a problem from Big W's end (with no support). Come on, get your sh1t together Big W, unacceptable.

I have purchased many BigW photobooks over the years. My latest 4 books were excellent quality, with the software to create them very user friendly. I wait for their rotating specials which give generous discounts. Very satisfied. Show details

This is the second calendar I have created through Big W photos. To be honest I had started with Canva because we had our business cards through them....but as time went on the process involved in uploading photos was so arduous I gave up. I am so glad I went back to Big W. The process was so easy and given that the photos were taken by a mobile… Read more
phone, on both orders, the quality is terrific, despite enlarging.
Very happy
I have also had photo mugs done in the past and they turned out really well too
Very happy with the customer service!! I had an issue with the printed product and they were very helpful, very good communication and fixed the issue straight away. Highly recommend Big W Photos Show details
No customer service help at all – Images were cut off on at least half my order. When contacted to ask for a reprint or refund as they state on there website I was told it is not possible and no help or resolution was made. Never ordering anything from them again. Very disappointed as they we're supposed to be Christmas presents
Fix your issues big w – I have brought a photo book in past loved it very easy to use but this time round very frustrating I get to payment and it just keeps flicking back to were I press pay by PayPal. Will not load the photos and will not go to pay screen. I looked for contact us and no phone or email. You just lost my service as I want a book done for a xmas presant.
Great photos and excellent customer service – I found the website very easy to use but had made a mistake and ordered the same photo multiple times. I contacted customer service and Mel was amazing from start to finish. She was so helpful and managed to explain to me where I had gone wrong and helped me order replacements. Will definitely use them again
Fuji Lab used by Big W Photo books – I have used BigW photobooks online for many years to make up photobooks and have always found the photo lab to produce a good quality product. When I have spoken with BigW Photos online at their Fuji lab they have always been accommodating and helpful to resolve an issue, most recently one just now which the Manager, Mel, handled with empathy and… Read more
efficiency. I can highly recommend the photo lab Fuji, for quality photography books and printed matter.
Shocking waste of time – Do not trust this system! I have wasted enormous amount of time creating photo books that have suddenly disappeared out of my account, and the only help I was offered by Big W was to start from scratch. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!
This app is absolutely useless – I have been trying to get some photos done here on and off for 12 to 18 months now it just will not finish the process so frustrating
Big W Photobooks – Fabulous customer service from Big W for a photobook I made. I had a problem (my fault) & the wonderful Cheryl in Customer Service sorted it for me in a flash. I will be forever grateful to Cheryl, as the book will be a gift. And best customer service I have ever experienced anywhere! Thank you so much Cheryl.

Photo books – Bought a couple of photo books, they arrived with small marks on a lot of the photos, But after contacting Big W, Nerida H was extremely helpful in the way she dealt with the issue for me. I’d still happily get more stuff through them thanks to her help Show details
Frustrated – This app is so difficult to use. After some hours, I've managed to order some prints online. Now, for my second try, I can't add to cart or order more prints. Frustrating
Photobook Spelling Mistake – I am super grateful to BigW! I made a spelling mistake in my photobook and a quick call and email to the team helped me sort this out! Thank you very much BigW
Great Customer Service – I ordered some framed canvas prints. There was an issue with one of the frames but the customer service that I received was exceptional and the issue was fixed very quickly. Show details
large book print – I ordered a 100page book of my artworks and the borders were not cropped properly to match my editing- on a number of pages. It took time to list every one but the issue was resolved. I wont know until I pick up the book, if it worked this time. Mel was prompt with her communication. The book has been re done and is perfect. Thanks Big W!
Great experience – Recently had some canvas’s printed from Big W online. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Picked up the canvas and couldn’t be happier with my new prints. The quality is so clear and they look fantastic. Couldn’t be happier Show details
Helpful and Understanding – I had great support and advice from Mel, the customer support manager. She tended to my issue promptly and it was solved with a desirable outcome. Show details
The best online purchase customer services I have experienced – Cheryl's efficient services are second to none. I had issues with the quality of the canvas prints. Cheryl made arrangements to replace them without fuss. This gives me confidences in further photo/canvas prints orders in the future through BigW Photos in (Evaline St) Campsie store Show details
