Cards are Great!
December 15, 2021
Updated review

I should not have given them a low review just based on shipping time alone. I first sent a photo to Walgreens to have Christmas cards made. When I went to pick them up, the photo was grainy, the cards must have been printed on a perforated page, then torn out. The edges were ripped. I got a refund and ordered these. I should have ordered sooner. The cards are great quality! I am impressed! I would use them again. Just order sooner. The packaging is a gift box. Not just an envelope. The envelope printing was great as well. It was a few bucks more than Walgreens, but it is so much better!

Too Slow, Look Elsewhere!
December 10, 2021
Previous review

I ordered Christmas cards on Sunday December 5,2021. On Wednesday the 8th, the sent a shipping notice. They were not showing at their local office until Thursday the 9th. Today is the 10th. According to informed delivery, they may be here on Monday the 13th. 8 days after ordering. Much too slow compared to others. I should have checked the reviews first! If it isn't here Monday, I will report back. I hope there is no issues with the cards.

Shipping nightmare
December 24, 2020

I can't comment on the quality of the Christmas cards because I'm still waiting for them. They claim my order shipped weeks ago. In the meantime, I got an email asking if I want to order MORE cards. How lame is that?

I've ordered and been quite happy with my purchases until I had an issue with a missing item... if you have an issue they with an item they don't care to respond. I ordered 2 mugs only 1 came but they say the were shipped and delivered together. I only received 1 mug. No one will respond to numerous attempts to resolve this! So now I don't have a Christmas present for my Dad and I'm out the cost of the mug! I won't order from them again!

No customer service
December 22, 2020

Our cards arrived two weeks after the date and we were constantly told they were in route. They offered to reduce the price, we did not need that. They offered to reprint and send expedited and did not do it. Cards looked fine when they finally came, but now people won't receive them until 2021. The customer service people were not problem solvers and struggled with basic communication skills while reading a script. Would not use it again or recommend it. Too many other companies would have fixed the issues.

The company failed to send envelopes after paying expedited processing and shipping. The envelopes will arrive will be after the holiday, so it will be super late. I wanted to return the card because of Photo Affections mistake and they will not take them back.
I paid extra, did not get what is needed/paid for and they only compensated 20% for cards I can't use. It was not my fault they didn't pack the envelopes. The rep said I should have called yesterday when I received them. Calling the very next day after delivery does now make me late. I am frustrated and disappointed. Will not use them again.

I placed an order of Christmas cards. Throughout the entire order process, I was led to believe the order will be "delivered within 2-4 business days". On Day 6, not having received the cards, I tracked the delivery, to find out that the order will not be delivered until Day 9. I would have never made this purchase if it had been clear in the ordering process that it would take 9 days for the cards to be delivered. When I reached out to Photo Affections seeking to cancel the order and get a refund, I was told it was not possible. The reason given was: processing time has to be added to shipping time. Yet, time for processing order was never disclosed as separate from shipping time frame. Thus, customers are led to believe that the "estimated shipping date (e.g. 2-3 business days)", highlighted in red, is the date order will be received. It is not fair and this business should be flagged and held accountable for deceptive business practices.

Photo affections
December 20, 2020

Just received the blanket I ordered and I must say that it surpasses anything that I expected! It is absolutely beautiful! My stepfather passed away in October and I got it for my mom and she loves it... thank you so much! I will be definitely telling everyone about it and also ordering more.

Should be ZERO!
December 24, 2018

I was tricked by Wal-Mart into using this company... Ordered on Dec 14 2018, simple card order, should be delivered on 20th, paid $11 for delivery. Order tracking still shows it at the Atlanta FedEx facility, has been there for 4 days! Never again!

Distorted photos
December 11, 2021

We purchased Christmas cards and I have emailed twice regarding my complaint, I then called and I've been told it would take 5-7 business days for a specialist to review my messed up Christmas cards that look distorted and photoshopped. 5-7 business days for a review, is what we were told? They will then decide (specialist team) if it's worth contacting the seller after they review your photo. At this point we have waited long enough and it's complete BS. We have been ordering for the past 4 years and this is the first time we have encountered this kind of service. I've yet to hear back; therefore, I would not recommend ordering Christmas cards from this place.

Been using photo affections for the last few years. Ordered on 12/9 and still didn't receive and it's 12/20. They shipped 1 card out of my 71 cards. I even ordered priority shipping. After speaking to the 5th rep, they agreed that it was not all shipped and they would rush processing with overnight delivery. I log in to look at the status 2 days later and they still weren't printed! So I called again and it took a 6th rep to actually put everything into motion. Now I won't get my cards until 12/21. Ridiculous for ordering on 12/9!

Bought the Groupon deal and still had to pay separate shipping. Martin the very smug supervisor was unhelpful and unwilling to make this right. Do yourself a favor and just go with Simply to Impress or a Shutterfly. Seriously horrid customer service and they are aware of the shipping scam.

Buyer Beware!
December 26, 2019

Very disappointed in the customer service I got from Princess P. At Photo Affections today. I purchased a groupon to get 70 cards for $27.99. Because I mistakenly choose the card that can be 2 sided, I was charged $70.74! This is even though my second side was blank as I never intended to use the back side (I like to handwrite a message there). I am getting what amounts to a $4.00 refund. Not a happy camper. I used to tell all my friends about Photo Affections, but will not be recommending them again.

I am a graduate and I spent hours looking at different sites to buy my invitations from. This site had my favorite options by far and they were very easy to customize. We got them only a few days after ordering them and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! Amazing quality and affordable price. HIGHLY recommend.

WHY am i only a number?
December 16, 2017

Why would photo affections allow me to pay for expedited shipping and pay a Saturday delivery if they weren't going to come until Tuesday? Now I am expected to pay for cards that won't arrive before xmas. Treat your people like people! Sending cards is a dying art! Appreciate the few of us that are left!

Buyer Beware
December 25, 2015

Ordered Christmas cards from PhotoAffections this year and had a TERRIBLE experience. Customer service was dreadful, borderline insulting. Our order was incorrectly printed, missing cards, stamp service was unfulfilled. The rep offered a $15 refund (on a hundred dollar order,) because "if you have to stamp them yourself, we feel that covers your time." BBB gives them 1.5 stars - wish I had checked before ordering.

No quality control
December 15, 2022

I have used Photos Affections in the past and never had an issue until this year. The photo I uploaded to our Christmas card printed in awful quality and I was told "it is the way the photo prints on Matte paper." The photo made all our teeth look black! I would think the company would see this and at least contact the customer before the cards were sent out. I was offered a $13 discount on my Christmas cards - not even worth it. Unfortunately, I won't be ordering again from this site.

This company is a SCAM!
December 21, 2020

I ordered 2 blankets for Christmas and they never came. The company uploaded a tracking number but never actually shipped the merchandise. They simply created the shipping label. When I called their customer service, I waited for almost an hour to get through. When I spoke to a representative, they tried to lie and say that the blankets had been shipped. The USPS tracking doesn't like. They never shipped my merchandise, just created shipping labels. Such a waste of time and money. Now I don't have the Christmas presents I ordered. Stay away!

Bout the 70% off groupon for 70 cards for 29.95. But after shipping and all the add ons it ended up being over $90. I'm so tired of these shyster tactics on line. It takes as much time to get to the bottom of all the half truths on a web site to find out what it really costs as it does to just go pick it up a the store. I'm done! All my cards will be bought at the store from now on.

Never received item that I purchased and also never received any type of update. Sounds like this happen often, unfortunately. I will never use services again and will be sure to spread the word how awful and what crooks Photo Affections has proved to be.

I ordered a photo product and was willing to pay triple the cost to get the item shipped in 2 days, but 2 separate customer service representatives told me it was impossible and recommended standard shipping. The pillow was shipped the next day, and I was stuck with standard shipping and a late, untimely gift because of their poor recommendations. I spoke to the supervisor and they told me they were not able to help me or resolve the problem. Poor customer service. I would never recommend this company. They do not know their products, shipping, and manufacturing information.
