Josh was very kind and helpful to us when we went in for the first time and didn't know how the service worked. We'd recommend it, and will come back again.

Max Spielmann in Leeds Trinity:

I went to the shop to ask about t-shirt printing and was told it cost £12. The employee said I could bring my own cotton t-shirt.
Three days later, I returned and a different staff member warned the print might not come out well on cotton. I accepted the risk, but the result was terrible — faded colours and very poor quality.
Worse, when I got home, I noticed a stain on the t-shirt, like food or liquid.
Overall: very poor customer service, bad printing, and no care for customers’ belongings. Definitely my first and last visit. I do not recommend.

Usually great but another time the head of baby was not full, and a dogs ear was cut. The staff are lovely, by the way, but I have not been pleased with all the photos.this was the Glenrothes branch.

I came to Max Spielmann at Tescos at Ashby de la Zouch today, and wanted to have photos printed from my phone , and as always Di was very helpful and kind. I was very happy with my photos and the service I recieved.

Was very easy to get what I wanted service was great .the person behind the counter was very help with wat I needed and explained everything to me made my experience gd and very relaxed. Person /lady who help me and made it easy was called NORA

photo booth gives incorrect photo selected Spanish visa no where does it state what format. But I trusted it would be correct. the photo that I got is JPG which is useless for a Spanish visa. it has to be Jpeg and it cannot to computer generated into the correct format.
wasted £12. Do not use as it will not be accepted Asda Blackpool. Will have to find a way of getting a refund and using another company

I visited the store located within Tesco in Mansfield and was served by a young lady called Molly. It was the anniversary of my mother’s passing and I popped in on the off chance to have a photo of her printed to put in a frame I had bought. Molly was the kindest person, and went out of her way to make me feel special. I left with tears in my eyes as it’s so rare these days for people to be kind. What an exemplary human being. Thank you Molly

Tracey who served us was lovely
Very professional and knowledgeable

Rian at Max Spielman sandhurst meadows was invaluable and brilliantly helpful to urgently get our photos printed

The manager is very unapproachable, uninterested in queries, obviously not the job for her. Scunthorpe asda branch.

Misleading - You can't access photos taken from photo booths unless it's for a passport. Photos needed for driving license are useless and wasted time and money. Booths are not clear that you can only use for passports. Apparently there was an option to enter an email address at the booth, this was not clear in any way (I was looking for how when taking them) so will also restrict anyone who is not technically minded, older or with learning disabilities, VERY DISAPPOINTED and will not be recommending or using again

11:45hrs 12 April 2026 Sheffield meadowhall female member of staff very condescending in her attitude to me just now so retorted...she then continued to harass me by shouting across the store in public causing me to retort back..it was totally uncalled for attitude by her

I've just left Tesco in Linwood, after attempting to use the photo Koisk.
I had cash on me,so I decided to use that. I went for the £12 option, so the machine must've sensed that a customer was using it. After a minute, it ejected the legal £10 note that I had inserted, but not the £2 coin.
I had noticed that the coin seemed to hit the bottom of an empty metal cash storage box. Maybe the machine isn't trained to deal with cash, and needs a reboot or something. I'm not bothered about the money, it's the principle of the thing.
Don't advertise what you can't provide. Things are hard enough.

I'm writing this review to express my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude for the service I received from Max Spielmann, and more specifically, from "Caitlin" in the Customer Support team.

As a high-functioning neurodivergent individual, I often find that my "hyper-focuses" and specific interests can be met with a lack of understanding or, at worst, outright-judgment, or social/societal-ostracisation.

I approached Max Spielmann through their website (maxphoto.co.uk) with what I consider to be a deeply-personal, very subjective, and sensitive enquiry regarding the production of personalised canvases. My request involved imagery that could be deemed erotic in nature and focused on a very specific niche area of interest for me.

From the very first exchange, Caitlin was the epitome of professionalism. She was incredibly speedy in her responses, but more importantly, she was courteous, considerate, kind, and honest. She navigated the complexities of my request—including my need for transparency regarding the themes of the canvas, and the specific physical characteristics I value—with a level of respect and warmth that is frankly rare to find.

Caitlin took the time to consult with the Head of Production (with a knowledge in legal/compliance), to ensure everything was handled correctly.

Even then, when explaining that one of my example images fell outside of their production guidelines, she did so with such supportive and clear communication that I felt entirely respected as an individual.

In a world that can often feel cold and transactional, Caitlin’s seemingly non-judgemental approach was a genuine breath of fresh air. She didn't just see a "potential order number"; she saw me... a person. Her warmth, and kindness has made what could have been a very stressful process feel straightforward and dignified.

If you are looking for a company that values its customers and can potentially handle sensitive requests with the exact same utmost care that I was, look no further.

Caitlin, sweetie... you're an absolute star and an absolute credit to the team. Thank you for just being you—you still have made my world a little bit brighter.

Went to max spielmanns in Congleton to ask them to print me a code so I could send a parcel through the post office for one A4 with a code 4x4 inches on the A4 and they charged 3£ for it a total rip off I could have posted it for that price

Went into Max Spielman in the Tesco branch in Chesterfield I needed help to adjust sizes etc of some photo to be used by my Rugby Club for display purposes The first time I requested help from Sky(e) I found her pleasant and very knowledgeable She took a great deal of time to adjust images and I was delighted with the end results A couple of days later I returned for additional photos Once again it was Sky(e) and also her manager Charlotte . Once more I received superb service. Both of these members of staff were a credit to the company The photos were of high quality and I am delighted with the finished display They both showed a caring manner ( I am in my eighties) and showed an interest in the project I was undertaking They were a credit to your company

UPDATE: Now resolved satisfactorily.
Had some family slides from the 60's which I wanted to turn into a DVD for an important family occasion. Ordered and paid £50 on line and posted them for processing and collection locally at Asda Liscard. Had a phone call to say my order was ready, got to the store and there was a note saying the shop would be closed for half an hour. Eventually the assistant returned and found my order, however there was no DVD, just some poorly produced prints. The assistant checked the order and agreed to return the slides to the factory to correct the order.
That was a week ago, I have had no acknowledgement, tried ringing the store to no avail and despite several emails I keep getting an automated response from Timpsons. Not acceptable and I have no idea now where my valuable (to me) slides are, and if I will ever see the DVD. Would not recommend.

The assistant in the shop was incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient. Would definitely recommend.
