Snapfish
Verified1,136 reviews
After researching a number of other companies that can create photobooks - I went with Snapfish (what a mistake that was). I spent hours collating photos of my daughter from my hard drives, phones, social media to create a photobook of her life to present to her on her 18th Birthday. I then spent hours formatting it on the Snapfish website.… Read more
Double/triple checked everything and paid the $120.00. 4 days later with no reasoning and now too late to use another company - I receive an email from Snapfish to say there is an issue and they can't supply my order, and I will receive a refund. Customer service number would appear to be in America; Australian customer service chat doesn't work (just keeps coming up with error messages). Utterly heart breaking that I can present my daughter with such a gift on her 18th Birthday dinner.
Wanted to create a book for my mum after a visit to Australia created a book took me a couple of hours got to checkout won't let me pay just said there a problem with my order but did not say what problem was unable to contact no email just some useless chat bot. I have given up should not be hard to order and pay for a product. Very disappointing and waste of my time.
Do not use Snapfish. I used them in the past for photobooks, collages, photos and the service was reliable and good. Not so now. They sent 10 reprints of one photo that was not ordered, the collage that was ordered has not been received, the shipping costs was exhorbitant for posting photos. They apologised and gave me $10 credit for future orders, which I will NOT be using.

This 50x150cm Canvas that's priced over $440! Arrived tacky and poorly done, staplers fell out, a MASSIVE scrape down the canvas! my client is furious... don't do business with these guys, they don't care, should be "Careless Fish". Show details
Absolute rubbish. Didn't get delivered, quality is terrible, customer service abysmal. Then when I finally got the product (after weeks of complaints) I got the automated email asking for a review. Left an honest one, it conveniently got rejected. Dont waste your money Show details

When a company is classified a. SCAM, the following requirements are the signs considered. 1) Quality - damaged, missing pages, incorrect printing, items left out, etc 2) order goes mutating with Aust PO 3) No physical phone assistance 4) live chat - all communications written using the exactly same manuals for workers 5) Employees are foreigners from mostly underdeveloped countries
Ordered two photo books at the same time…both arrived separately a week apart! The 2nd one was broken at the spine and one of the pages ripped off. I guess you get what you pay for. No options to contact customer service for a replacement. Won’t use them again. Show details
Canvas Prints printed diagonal and off centre, prints blurry despite me uploading professional photography photos, images too dark. I contacted them via online chat seven times and my hours wasted on “chat” in a row as I tried resolve the following issues; 1. My order didn’t arrive and I spent about $340 on my order. Had to keep chasing this up… Read more
2. The mugs I ordered were too dark despite some pics taken on a sunny day at the beach 3. My PREMIUM canvas prints which finally arrived were inadequate, photos off centre and diagonal! Also white spots or brown spots from poor quality printing
I wish I had read reviews before purchasing!!!
What a terrible customer service with no accountability taken!!
DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. Will not use ever again. Ordered a 500 piece jigsaw which looked like it would come in a box on website, as jigsaws do. No it came flat A3 size with gaps at side of packaging so 6 pieces fell out in transit. Demanded they replace and tape sides and corners so pieces don't fall out and replacement order turned up worse!… Read more
Local Auspost outlet had to tape up the packaging as pieces were falling out everywhere in the post office that staff had to pick up! Photo shows how i opened it and found pieces stuck everywhere. Won't ever use them again.
Thank you for giving me credit to print my photo tiles after I explained that the online 50% off code wasn't working. I feel really lucky to have only paid for shipping. The tiles look amazing!! Quick delivery also and packaged safely. Great customer service.
Used Snapfish to do a large framed canvas while they had 75% off. Has to use high resolution photo, took a bit of work to get that, but in the end, extremely happy with end product and price. Will definitely use again. Show details
These pictures I got put on canvas came to me with plié colour on the top and bottom. When I contacted me they said I had sent the picture to them like this. WRONG!!!! Show details

The photo book I created for Dad’s birthday arrived today and it’s absolutely stunning. I can’t fault it and Dad (and Mum) love it. I ordered the Matte eco pages 30 x 30 option, paid for express post and it turned out even better than I had hoped. I selected a very simple cover that has just a slightly textured look. I also kept each page… Read more
background blank to highlight the beauty of the photos.
I had actually read the negative reviews after purchasing and was a little concerned about how the quality would be.
During the design process I realised the importance of watching when the program notifies you if you have aligned photos outside the printing area. This ensures your photos aren’t cut off. There are also lines that show up to indicate that your photos aren’t aligned with the opposite page (if this is your preference). I found the program very easy to use, it’s just important to pay attention to the little warnings that show up. It’s the details that matter.
As I’ve done quite a bit of graphic design before I was familiar with these program notifications.
The print quality is absolutely beautiful. Especially since many of the photos I used were photos of old photos my Dad had taken in the 70’s and 80’s. The colours turned out beautifully and the paper quality is so lovely.
I wanted to create a matte photo book that could be displayed on Mum and Dads coffee table and it’s everything I wanted and more.
So my recommendation is to pay attention to the little warnings that come up and take your time to align the photos. Possibly choose a higher quality paper as it honestly turned out as good as any photographers display book I’ve seen.
To think I got it during their Father’s Day sale as well is just wonderful.
Thank you Snap Fish. You made a really special gift truly memorable.

I have lost photos of my grand daughter while using Snapfish. I will not buy from them again while they use Aramex as delivery courier. Some one now has photos of my family that I did not wish to share. Snapfish, get rid of Aramex. They have the worst reputation. Show details
Follow-up · Photos sent by Aramex took months to arrive. Will not use Snapfish again for this reason. Change back to Aust. Post
Charged for an order I did not make – I was preparing a hard copy album but it disappeared despite the fact that I saved it consistently. Then two and half hours later I notice a charge for $180.60 for a framed photo that I fiddled with last year and a soft copy album that I discarded.… Read more
At no time did I order these. I didn’t click PayPal, put in my password, receive a verification code or press confirm. PayPal tells me that in Snapfish’s fine, fine print they can charge me money without my knowledge or permission. And they did despite the fact that one of their staff told me I would have a full refund. Never, ever again. I’ve been well and truly defrauded and I’m very angry.
Follow-up · Snapfish have not responded at all to my complaint. I’ve heard nothing from them They cannot justify their charge and they won’t try. I just refuse to use them anymore. As far as I am concerned they are crooks.
I've used Snapfish for our family calendar for ten years and I should have seen the writing on the wall last year, but this year the rubbish I received was so terrible, I am compelled to call them out. No complaints line. No chance of a return. No… Read more
answers. The packaging is flimsy and paper quality very poor. $78 down and they are getting away with this.
Follow-up · Was the ordering process easy? - Yes How was the print colour quality? - Paper quality I ordered was not correct, and the print quality was rubbish. Did the calendar arrive on time? - Yes, but it was not packaged properly and was completely trashed when it arrived. They used to package in stiff cardboard, but clearly this has been replaced with a… Read more

The silver Christmas bauble came out nice, however they unfortunately seem unable to colour match a silver bauble with the silver top cap and string as depicted online. This year they did gold top caps and string on the silver baubles and last year they did silver top caps and string on all our gold baubles (if only i could simply swap them over… Read more
but they are different sizes from last year and aren't interchangeable). I contacted them last year about this and asked for the correct colour caps and string (as advertised) to be re sent but i just got given the run around by their 'support team' and was asked to repeat myself over and over via email with no follow up or replacement caps sent as I requested.
I chose Silver this year in the hope that they would at least match this time but was disappointed to see that Snapfish YET AGAIN failed to sell the item as depicted online (they attached gold caps and string) and they didn't match the image advertised. The silver colour is nice all in all, the gold bauble is not so nice in person. That all said, I have been happy with the quality of their Premium calendars each year and will continue to buy them.
Easy experience, perfect result – Ordered Monday 20 Jan 2025, arrived Thursday 24th Jan 2025. Perfect photo books. Easy user experience on website to lay them out - be sure to proof before clicking the order & print, as I found mistakes of my own doing that were easy to rectify. Excellent email communication throughout transaction. So simple and easy. Only complaint is postage… Read more
goes on number of items, not weight, so paid $59 for what was in reality a $15-$20 postage fee. They could ditch the courier and just do Aus Post normal parcel delivery. Not too bothered though as their discount codes are very generous. Overall, quick, so easy and completely satisfied with photo books. (If your photos are low resolution etc., they tell you, so adjust accordingly. Re: heads being cut off in other reviews below: you need to use the little grab hand icon once your photos are in position and center your photos! I cannot comment on the chatbot function or follow-up service because I didn't need it, but I do note there is no email address or phone number to call. Your address is asked firstly before adding things to cart- ensure it is correct because I don't remember an opportunity to edit it later on.)
EXTRAORDINARY CUSTOMER SERVICE – Astounded at the number of negative reviews as our experience with SNAPFISH has been extraordinary We took 15 Months to get our act together, spent not much more than a week to collate it all, 320+ Photos, 75 Pages, complete with captions and embellishments, their website is so simple to use. Placed our Order on the Sunday after New Years Day,… Read more
which surely must be about their busiest time of the Year. On the Monday we received confirmation of our Order with an estimated Delivery Date of the 15th of January, which we reckon was very much OK. Actual Delivery was the following FRIDAY, that was within FIVE (5) Working Days from placing our Order. EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE, Fantastic Album, exactly as we wanted and our memories of our Italy Trip are with us and our Family forever. Next time all we need to do it get OUR performance somewhere near that of SNAPFISH's and our Memories will be able to be shared much sooner. We have never before experienced such a high level of Customer Service, WELL DONE SNAPFISH

Just received my 18th photo book I have made through Snapfish and cannot speak Highly enough about this company. Quality, speed of delivery, pricing, all 10/10 have never had a problem or bad book
I ordered 2 short orders of Photos as you do. I chose regular post, one lot arrived in about 9 days, the other went missing, but without tracking there was no way of knowing where it was. I rang and spoke with someone in support who happily replaced the order with express shipping for free. Thank you. Show details

DO NOT PRINT PHOTOS FROM HERE. They come back super dark and unclear. Then they will just tell you to re-upload them and edit the brightness on all of the photos. For huge orders this is simply ridiculous, especially when the photos are already crystal clear and bright and uploaded in full resolution. They are absolutely pathetic.
I ordered 2x 20 page books with 60 extra pages in total. The price quoted with discount was $7.95. Once I had completed both books and got to check out I was astonished they charged me $320 then applied discount of $115 with postage it cost me $214.95! A complete scam! I still not have received my books!! I have tried contacting Snapfish and the… Read more
“bot” chat I get keeps repeating what the invoice total is and will not understand what I am complaining about. Clearly overcharged! I received an email from them offering me a $10 credit to my next order! Never again will I be using Snapfish
I ordered a 11oz custom mug and a 17oz mug arrived. Did their crappy online chat. They offer a refund but do not care or explain what happened or how to fix it. Waste of time

I ordered the lay flat photo book expecting what it says..... pages laying flat and able to span both book pages. I had a text block that was to span the pages and you can't read the text as the words are hidden by the binding. When i pay extra I should get what I paid for. Glad I didn't overlap too many pages. Disappointed with the pages I did.
Ordered one book that looked awful so tried again. Spent 3 hrs getting my photos perfectly aligned on my book and when I submitted the order they were perfectly aligned . Book came back with photos not where I wanted them not aligned and just the top half of people on some photos . 2 times ordered and not worth it at all. Just going to buy our… Read more
own album and print our photos ourselves . I cannot believe that no one is checking the alignment of photos before they are printed in to a book . Won't ever be using Snapfish again .
Got three canvasses. The colour on all 3 is dull. Came from good camera. I'm going to use gold pen and trace over features, making them into art pieces (or just try to sell on as is) because they don't display quality as is. Packing and timing was good. Backing on one of canvasses very nice also with wiring.
Sadly they are horrible dont even look like photos the printing is dull and almost catalogue type I ordered glossy print havnt ordered in 2 years but what I got was like shiny hard paper not a photo or at least not what they used to be I'll never order again postage was killer my order was only $18 but postage was 22 Show details
