Easy to prepare and get the book.
Easy to prepare and get the book.
Suggestions: 1. More pre-formated covers to choose from, 2. Easier to get from private to public (I couldn't find how to do it, 3. When revising a project, show previous choices so no need to re-enter, 4. Reduce lead times for printing and delivering. Thanks for your excellent platform.

I am very disappointed with my recent…
I am very disappointed with my recent Lulu online delivery service.
There were several problems with my order:
1. The delivery time was shown as 10:30 PM, but my order was delivered only after 11:00 PM.
2. Two items were missing from my order. The delivery person told me that the amount would be refunded within 7 days, but I still have not received the refund.
3. I ordered kiwi fruit, but the fruits were completely unripe and not ready to eat. I have been unable to eat them even after two days.
4. I contacted Lulu customer care and also tried the online chat, but I have not received any proper response. It seems the customer service is always busy.
This is very disappointing, especially from a well-known company like Lulu. I request you to please investigate my order, process the pending refund immediately, and provide compensation or a suitable resolution for the poor-quality fruit and delayed delivery.
Please take this complaint seriously and provide me with a proper response as soon as possible.

Hello!
Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry to hear about the poor experience you had with your delivery, but we wanted to kindly clarify that Lulu is a book publishing and printing company. We do not offer online grocery or produce delivery services.
Because we do not have access to grocery order systems, we are unable to look up your order or issue a refund. Please contact the customer support team of the specific retailer you ordered from so they can locate your account and assist you right away.

Avoid like the plague
I want to be clear upfront: as a pure print engine, Lulu does good work. Their physical book options, binding variety, and trim specs are among the best in print-on-demand. But the moment you encounter an operational or compliance flag on their platform, the entire customer experience disintegrates into an automated nightmare.
I have been dragged through an endless, circular support loop regarding account and verification hurdles. Rather than connecting you with a human administrator who can diagnose a simple issue and apply logic, Lulu hides behind scripted ticketing gates, automated compliance flags, and bot-driven verification checks. You get generic, canned responses that fail to address the actual problem, leaving you stuck in place with zero real-time escalation path.
If your project flows through their system without a single hiccup, Lulu works fine. But if you hit a technical glitch, verification flag, or account check, be prepared to waste days—or weeks—fighting a wall of automated scripts. High-grade paper quality doesn't make up for non-existent customer support.
Fix your support architecture and give your authors access to actual human beings who have the authority to resolve account issues.
Update: LuLu left a reply, deleted it, and then fired me as a client. They refunded money I didn’t even ask for and then left me with their administrative mess to clean up. This is what you can expect from Lulu. Avod them. I’d now make it one star if I could. They become children when you speak up and act out of spite.

Thank you for reviewing your experience with Lulu.
While we do have automated messaging in place to provide information to everyone as quickly as possible, there is always an option to reply to an automated message or to open a new ticket to speak with an agent.
Unfortunately, it appears that our platform was unable to provide the items that you requested, but we wish you the best of luck in your creative endeavors.
