No history of asking for reviews

No response and no update on delivery

Ordered on March 8th 2023 and paid for premium shipment also. No response even after contacting them on their email ID and waiting for an update. Extremely appalling to see such unprofessionalism. Will not recommend to anyone.

Emails not going through

It definitely seems that there is an issue with the Poster Pagoda info email as none of my emails have been responded to, and it seems multiple others have experienced the same issue. After my first review I received an email very promptly which was great to see however my replies have gone unanswered since. It is frustrating that it seems like the only way to reach out to customer service here is through leaving reviews. As a followup to the response I received, my local postal offices were not able to provide any assistance, and at this point I would just like to receive a refund of my order if it is possible. Also, if there is any other alternative form of communication to reach Poster Pagoda’s customer service team it would be greatly appreciated if that could be provided.

edit: Yes, I have gone to post offices with the provided tracking number and unfortunately none of them were able to help or had an idea as to what occurred with my package. Is it possible for me to receive a refund for my order now?
Thank you.

Hello Rebecca, you are absolutely right, there definitely seems to be some sort of issue with the email. We receive and respond to many emails a day. Somehow, some of them don't get sent through even to spam folder and those people are usually the ones having issues on here. Even now after a thorough search for your email, no results other than your initial order. That being said, according to your order number your package arrived at your sorting center in Canada in early October. Sometimes (especially Canadian post for whatever reason) post offices will hold smaller packages for custom clearance. If you are able to contact your post office with the tracking number we provided you and they provide you with no further information, we will apply a swift refund to your order.

edit: We have processed the refund. Sorry for the bad experience you had.

Shipping issue

The posters look promising, but as many reviewers, I ran into the shipping issues. It's been almost 2 months after the package has arrived in the destination country without an update. I contacted at least a month ago but haven't gotten a response yet. I've sent several service request emails but, still, no response. I wonder if my emails are sent to spam. I need an explanation.

Hello John, We replied to your original email and reshipped the package. Please confirm that you requested it to be resent. Also if the tracking number says that the item is at your post office, then you have to contact them directly. Once we ship out the package its in control of by your local postal service and we have no control over getting it to you personally, as I am sure you are aware.

Potentially great products but poor customer service

I really wish I could leave a higher review as many of the products they offer seem very nice, but their customer service appears to be pretty poor/non-existent.

Like some of the other reviewers here, I ran into shipping problems (my package somehow got re-routed due to an error and has been perpetually stuck at the same location for 2 and a half weeks). I emailed Posterpagoda about it multiple times and have yet to receive a response.

I understand that they only have one person looking at all the customer emails. Maybe they should look into some sort of contact form system so emails can be sorted accordingly by urgency/category?

I'm also hoping that by writing this review, I can receive some support directly from the company as they seem to be pretty active here.

Edit:
It appears as if my emails were being sent to spam. After I posted this review I was promptly contacted by a representative from the company saying that my order is in transit and on its way. I sent a couple follow-up emails asking why my package has been stuck in the same delivery state for 20+ days but have not gotten another response back. Are my emails still being filtered out somehow?

Hello Darwin and thanks for reaching out. Perhaps you are correct in saying that there is some sort of issue with our email system as we have not received an email regarding your order in our main inbox or spam folders. We do see your order emails but not any support requests. We would love to help you with your order. Please let us know what we need to do to make this right and we will help as quickly as possible.

Thank you Harry for your review and being understanding with the slow shipping due to the covid-19 complications. We are sending you the three free posters now, and you may keep the posters that were sent to you in error.

POOR Customer Service

Writing a joint review of sorts, me and my friend made separate purchases; my friend had ordered the posters a few weeks prior and recommended this site for the poster designs.

I did like what I saw on the website and went to order a few days ago but was told by my friend one of her posters came out grainy/pixelated and I immediately decided to just cancel my order by emailing them the same day of the order so I could get it cancelled before it shipped. I still have gotten 0 reply after 2 days time and from what I can tell from other people on Instagram a lot of other people are not getting email replies and their negative comments on their social media pages are being deleted. I'd honestly love it if there was just a quick order cancellation button instead of jumping through all these hoops to even try to get a reply back before my order ships out.

EDIT: It seems my order has shipped out so now I won’t be able to cancel my order. I wouldn’t recommend this company if only because I doubt you’ll get a response if you contact them through proper channels if an order goes wrong.

EDIT 2 (Response to Seller's Reponses): While I'd believe this kind of reason/response from any other company out of good faith I'd just like to point out the two reviews before me had similar problems and one of which who has also allegedly gotten their email lost somehow. Even if the email being lost was truly the honest reason I never got a reply, I'd say that highlights a pretty significant issue in and of itself if this is happening at a not uncommon rate. In any case, I'd recommend PosterPagoda have some kind of automatic order cancellation button on their site regarding orders like most online sites do to prevent this kind of customer dissatisfaction in the future. My opinion on this company has not changed. I would not recommend this company considering the troubles I had trying to email them about cancelling an order made only 30 minutes prior.

Hi Catherine! Sorry for your bad experience. We usually respond to all messages within 24 hours. We have checked all of our inboxes and were unable to find an email from you. We are sorry that there was a mistake there. As you have noted, your order has shipped. If you receive the posters and find that you are dissatisfied we will make it right.

edit: yes perhaps there is an issue with the email's being received. We will look into that. Our customer service is a team of one person, so they might have been sleeping or spending time with their family during the time you ordered, so even if we received the email it might have not been seen up to 24 hours later. We are constantly trying to improve and really appreciate the extensive feedback you left. If you are dissatisfied with your order upon receipt, we will make it right for you.

Order a poster back in December and it…

Order a poster back in December and it still hasn’t shown up two months later in February. Doesn’t reply to any emails either. Don’t buy from here.

Hello Eric. Thank you for your review. We have done a deep search through our inbox and never received an email from you regarding this order. That being said, your order is confirmed to be in transit. The reason your order is taking a long time is because you chose the "Free shipping" option, which explicitly states that it can take up to 90 days shipping during the Covid 19 disruptions.

That being said, we will be more than happy to reship the items with Premium shipping free of charge or refund your order through the proper channels.

Thank you so much for your review! Yes, you were not the only customer to receive this false email about the delivery of the package. We are working to solve the issue so this doesn't happen again. Thanks for letting us know about the problem.

Complete fraud.

Ordered two posters on the 3rd of Dec. and paid extra for premium shipping so they would arrive in decent time. It has been an entire month (Jan 4th) and neither poster has even been put in the hands of the USPS. Customer service says wait another 30 days. This site is an absolute fraud.

Edit: Items were delivered 17 days past their "guaranteed" 60-day window. Don't believe their BS below. I gave them multiple chances to just refund my order.

Hi Justin, as stated in your review, your items were delivered to you. We apologize for the delay in the delivery, however there have been many unforseen delays due to the Covid-19 last year and even this year as well.

We have delivered the items as agreed. As we talked over the correspondence, there was an additional 30 day window because of covid delays, which is something that we had 0 control over. We did our best. The item was held at your post office. We would appreciate it if you could amend this review to at least change the title as it is misleading.

amazing classy posters

I have ordered 6x Studio Ghibli large posters. Love the several poster designs & options of each movie. The order has been accepted and send to my country (Prague, Czech Republic) in 2 days and delivered in three weeks. I received the tracking number so I could track my posters all the way to Prague. I love the design and quality. Plus I received a one extra beautiful poster as a thank you and kind gesture, I am so grateful. It will make my brother so happy on Christmas as a big Studio Ghibli fan.

Thank you so much, wishing you all the best and a good health.

i NEVER received my posters

i NEVER received my posters. i messaged them MULTIPLE TIMES within the 2 month period that they’ll allow you to get a full refund. They just kept telling me it’s on the way. Now it’s been 5 months and they won’t refund me. This is a garbage fckn company. Never would recommend. I shouldn’t be this mad about some cheap posters lol, but I hate when companies are shady.

Hi Katie thank you for sharing your experience. As we have explained to you via email, we tried to process a refund, however there was an issue with your credit card rejecting the refund because of the amount of time between when the purchase was made and when you asked for the refund. We tried multiple times and were denied by your credit card company. (We can provide you with additional evidence if you wish). That being said, your package was likely mishandled by the postal service during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have tried contacting you multiple times about sending you a reshipment now that the postal service is more reliable, but you have opted not to go that route for whatever reason. We are sorry for the poor experience you had. We did our best to meet your needs.

Hard to recommend to anyone

After waiting since May (it's now August) looking forward to my poster arriving I was met with nothing but disappointment and am struggling to think of anything positive to say about the experience.

Cons:
- The print quality is not great, certainly not 300dpi+. Posterpagoda might want to check their facts if they honestly think these are 300dpi, I work with print for a living and can tell with 100% certainty without even getting out my printers eye glass, that they just aren't. Just because they're printing at 300dpi doesn't mean the original image they're printing from is 300dpi. The blurred and poorly anti-aliased edges on text are telltale signs that the source image has been upscaled at least once. This makes me doubt they actually have the licences to print any of these and they have just been printed from a found image online. The colours are drab. It's a digital print, so comes with all the telltale signs that comes with that.

- The crop is off centre, so it has an uneven border in the frame, meaning I had to trim it down myself.

- The item description on the website strongly suggests you're buying vintage posters for a lot of these. They're not.

- Don't be fooled by the website being in your currency, they are shipped from China. Which explains the long lead times, even if you take the current pandemic out of the picture.

- The packaging, oh hell where do I start. Let's make this clear, I order a lot of prints. Never have I ever ordered a poster that hasn't been packaged in a poster tube (or on rare occasion flat in a rigid, card-backed envelope). Why are posters always packaged this way? Because paper is flimsy, can crease and tear easily. How are Posterpagoda posters packaged? Rolled up around a flimsy bit of styrofoam and put in a plastic bag. Yep. Yikes. None of the packaging is recyclable. Needless to say when it arrived it was horribly creased.

Pros:
- Nice paper stock
- Cheap

Update: It gets worse - sadly they've also been trying to take down negative reviews to skew the score in their favour, by denying people have made a purchase with them. They did this to me AFTER I had supplied them with the details of my order to verify. Do everyone a favour and if they do this to you, just verify your order with Trustpilot so they can reinstate your review.

Hello Harry. We flagged your review because you claimed the posters were pixelated. This is not true. The print you received is 300 dpi. We know your order is legitimate, but your assessment of the pixel density of the print was erroneous. We hope you understand.
