Standards have really went down hill
Standards have really went down hill, I have been using route1 for around 10 years they used to be my go to but have since went elsewhere. I get constant letters and emails to comeback.
Every single order I place now gets delayed there’s absolute no point placing any next day upgraded orders etc, you only get told on the day of the delay and it’s always down to new
Machines or factory upgrades.
I feel really let down, seems to be a real problem at route1 , they do not feel set up for trade print anymore.

Hi Gavin,
Thank you for taking the time to write this, even though it is incredibly disappointing for me to read. Having you as a partner for around 10 years means a lot to us, and hearing that we have lost your trust and your business is something I take very seriously.
You are entirely right to call us out on this. When we invest in new machinery or factory upgrades, it is meant to improve our service for our trade clients, not disrupt it. Hearing that this has caused repeated delays on your upgraded orders is completely unacceptable, and I completely understand why you feel let down. Trade print relies on reliability, and we have clearly missed the mark for you recently.
I want to look into your account history properly to see exactly where these bottlenecks happened on your recent orders.
Could you please reach out to me directly at sales@route1print.co.uk? I would really appreciate the opportunity to look into this for you personally and see how we can make amends.
Thank you again for your 10 years of loyalty, and for holding us to the standard you deserve.
Thanks,
Tom
Excellent service all round
From start to finish the CS is great, and the product quality and turnaround too. There was an issue where the courier damaged the packaging, however a re-print was quickly depsatched that caused minimum delay. The job had actually been despatched early, so even with the re-print and re-delivery the job still arrived on time. Both Emily and Ophelia who assisted with this did exactly as they promised, and called back with updates and ultimately solved the problem. I would highly recommend Route 1 to anybody in the trade.

Hi Robin,
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! It was an absolute pleasure looking after you and getting this sorted.
We know how frustrating it is when a courier handles a parcel roughly, but because the production team got the original job out ahead of schedule, we had that vital extra bit of time to play with! We always try to treat your clients' deadlines as if they were our own, so we're thrilled that the reprint still made it to you on time.
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation. It means the world to the whole team here and to us. We look forward to working with you on the next project!
Thanks
Emily & Ophelia

I was having great difficulty getting my artwork sorted out for a very tight deadline. Steph kindly assisted me and sorted it out.
She listened to my issues and had a can do attitude and kept me informed of what she had noticed and then corrected.

Hi Bach,
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad I could step in and help take the stress out of that tight deadline for you.
Artwork can be tricky, but once we identified those small issues, I wanted to make sure they were corrected immediately so your order could stay on track. Keeping you informed throughout the process is always a priority for me, as I know how important that peace of mind is!
If you ever have a tight turnaround or a tricky file again, don't hesitate to reach out!
Thanks
Steph

Hi Gary,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. It was a pleasure helping you get those files ready!
I know how stressful it can be when you aren't 100% sure if a file is "press-ready," so I’m really glad I could jump in quickly to put your mind at rest. My goal is always to make the technical side of printing as smooth as possible so you can focus on the creative part.
I hope the finished print looks fantastic! If you ever have questions about a future project, the team and I are always here to help.
Thanks
Hannah
First time ordering irregular shaped…
First time ordering irregular shaped labels from Route1Print, wasn't sure how to prepare artwork and wasn't sure about the proof they supplied.
Hannah was a great help and talked me throw the process, also send the proof in another format that was easier for me to undrstand.
Thanks Hannah, you're a star!!

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for the lovely review; you’ve made my day!
I’m so glad I could help clear up the confusion with those irregular-shaped labels. Artwork prep for custom shapes can be a bit of a maze the first time around, so I’m happy that sending the proof in a different format made things easier for you to visualise.
I can't wait to see how the final labels turned out! If you ever need a hand with a tricky file again, you know where I am.
Thanks
Hannah
