Amazing absolutely astonished with how the print came of, really captured the beauty of our beloved dog that sadly passed. Would really recommend!
Really happy with my order
Really happy with my order - thank you Printing Bee! I got a custom portrait done of our dog and it is stunning. Didn’t think it would come out this good for the price. Looks great in our living room!
Delivery was quick well packed and no damage. would defo order again.
Good photo , not the best communication
Ordered a photo of my dog who recently passed , it took a while to come around a week which wasn't a problem along as it was right and what I wanted , turned up with the wood frame damaged and un-usable. Had to buy a new frame myself for the photo and printing bee then refunded me for the price I paid for the new frame.
They listened and salvaged my custom 🙂
**Update! I’ve had a very apologetic email from the CEO who has refunded in full and is sending out the portrait with the correct eye colour and hopefully frame. This gesture is much appreciated and has restored my faith in this company again.
Something has changed with this company. This last purchase (which has been disastrous) was our third this year. The first two orders…superb. This time, the portrait sample came through to say it was getting ready for dispatch, we spotted the eye colour was wrong and immediately emailed to say so. No communication to confirm message received. Next thing we know, item dispatched and took days and days to arrive. It arrived and guess what…..wrong eye colour! To add insult to injury, the frame ordered was black and we got white. I emailed immediately to say how disappointed we were that our message about eye colour had been ignored and we’ve heard nothing. Given that our first two orders were fab, this experience has left us totally confused and frustrated. Something significant has changed with this company in recent months and their customer service is non existent. The uk telephone number is out of service and emails are not answered…very poor.
Shocking poor
Like others, if I could give zero stars I would.
Ordered a framed picture as a birthday gift and heard nothing.
I emailed twice as was ignored and I also sent a message via their chat service and still nothing. Had to do a charge back via my bank in the end.
I can’t work out if this company is a scam, despite some few good reviews or if their whole service is very poor.
Went elsewhere instead and I’d advise others to do the same
Would give zero stars if I could
Would give zero stars if I could. Placed my order and when it did not arrive I contacted them. I received one email in reply to several, saying that my item had been re-shipped with next day delivery. That was 4 days ago and I still haven't received the item. I have emailed two separate email addresses, tried a 'live chat' and have also contacted them via instagram. All with no response. It is clearly a scam site as my money was taken and I have received nothing!

Ordered a framed print for a birthday present, when it got delivered the parcel had been so poorly packaged that the whole frame had snapped into 5 pieces. They said they’d send me another one which didn’t happen. Go elsewhere if I was you…

I ordered a canvas of my sons dog who had to be put down recently and the picture is just him looking at you. It is absolutely amazing! Couldn’t be more delighted with the picture and my son loves it too. This company is brilliant and the painting is amazing! I will be ordering again for sure.
Printing bee DO NOT USE
Ordered my item on 22nd June
Still no correspondence after emailing over 5 times! No sign of the order what a disappointment
Stunning print
Heartbreakingly, we lost our beautiful boy George in May. I sent a photo and ordered a framed print and I cannot tell you how glad I did. It is absolutely perfect and genuinely looks exactly like him, even down to his eyes. It has pride of place in our living room and we will definitely be ordering again. Thank you again, you’ve made a hard time a little easier,
Ordering was quick and simple
Ordering was quick and simple. Inexpensive. The result was a beautiful watercolour taken from a photo of our dog who had very recently passed. My wife loved it. We all loved it. 10/10

Spelling mistake and false advertising
I was really disappointed with my order. The plaque arrived with a spelling mistake, and the item was described as a “glass plaque” when it’s actually plastic. I contacted the seller, and while they did offer a refund or a corrected version, I was surprised that I had to choose between the two when both the misprint and misleading product description were their responsibility.
The customer service was polite, but I didn’t feel the resolution matched the level of the issue. I wouldn’t order again.

Stay clear of PrintingBee and go to a local
Our cat Tiggy died and I wanted to get something to remember her for my partner as a gift. I sent a picture of her holding her favorite toy in her usual pose and thought that pretty much typified her.
Whilst I was tempted to look more locally at a Tesco's photo printing option as I was in touch with the process, but I was pointed to PrintingBee by someone I trusted.
I went with them ordering a large print costing £49.99, so not cheap. It arrived a few weeks later. It was edited, so that only her head was showing and the whole concept was lost, no pre warning, no draft, no asking, it was just done. There was bleeding of the picture in the canvass and at the top of the frame there was a printing error where they has started to print her name and stopped. It was a very upsetting experience compounded further by the after sales service if that's what you can call it. I asked for a refund and have virtually been ghosted by the organisation.
Absolutely terrible service backed up by terrible customer service. Best keep it local if you want an important picture printed, definitely stay clear of PrintingBee

Perfect gift!
Perfect gift!
I ordered a framed pet-print from Printing Bee, not only was the ordering process super simple, with a space to write notes to get exactly what you want, the turn-around time was within a few days and the quality of the print is brilliant.
Good quality frame, amazing print quality and colours and customer service team are wonderful. Will order again from this site.

Lovely portrait, better than a photo.
Had a portrait of my late dog done recently. The first draft was not what I wanted, but they replied straight away and I sent another couple of photos and the next draft was just spot on. They have captured her gentle expression and soft hazel eyes perfectly. It’s a lovely picture, and a bit more special than a normal photo. Having it done in the frame was a good choice too. Great company and very good customer service.

lovely company to deal with
I was very impressed with this company, the 1st picture I sent wasnt very good and they asked me if I could send another picture, which I did. I received my print as few days later and was very impressed with it.
Thank you. I would definitely recommend this lovely company.
