Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

...dad took the photo's to Max Speilmann's where weeks later there was no development of the film and the shop assistant said that they were having problems with the film and could we wait a little longer.  A month after the manager finally told my mother in law that the film had been lost. My husband and I were gutted no photo's from hubby's side of the family and they had taken some really good one's.  Eventually one strip of photo's came back and ...
...free as a replacement from Max Speilmann's. What I want to say is how can you ever replace losing a full set of negative's? Especially it being our wedding, photograph's of such a special day.  Despite all the stress and upset it caused my hubby and I can never see the photo's of the wedding cake which were taken by the in laws. I guess in an ideal world we would have been able to afford professional photographer's, but I guess that's just the way ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

...My first gripe about Max Spielman is the fact that on their sign they claim that they can do 20 minute processing. I have never had any of my photographs ready for collection in anywhere near the specified time, also what they don't state is that for this 'so called' 20 minute service you have to have a bigger sized prints than the norm. I have these anyway but still have to wait at least 90 minutes or come back another day. May times I have gone ...
...your information the discounts at Max Speilman are everyone elses normal prices), they also do a range of keyrings, t-shirts and mugs of any photograph you take into them which make great Xmas and birmthaday presents. I hope that nobody else has sufered the experiences that I have with Max Speilman but I felt that you all had a right to know mine. This is a shop I will definately walk on by. : ( ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

I worked at a few Max Speilmann shops, and the odd Klick (owned by the same company and run the same) over eight months, and there are a few things I've noticed during my time there that would be helpful to potential customers. - Staff are penalised for accepting 6x4 prints and will do anything to get you to upgrade to 7x5 (their 'standard') when you don't need to. They will tell you that they do not print 6x4s anymore - they do, just tell them ...
...you really must shop at Max Speilmann/Klick Photopoint, just make sure that you get what you originally went in for. Targets are strict and with the advent of digital processing at home, many shops need your money. I do hope this isn't the case throughout the country but put simply, I would never shop in any of the stores I have worked in. ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

Just been to Max Spielmann in Beeston Nottingham 10.8.07. Charged 14p per photo (438 of them) when the window price is 5p per photo for 200+. Manageress said this did not come into force until 15th August 2007. Then why is it in the window and leaflets on the counter? Manageress very rude, said she felt like slapping customers round the face. Given full refund but told I could not have photos until the Thursday, then I would get the reduced price. Photos had been printed already, so I told them I would leave them and go to Boots for 6p each. Beware Max Spielmann they seem to say and charge what prices they like. Go somewhere reputable like Boots! ...

Visited Max Spielman photo shop in Halifax today with 3 disposable cameras with processing pre-paid. Asked if i could pay extra for a 1 hour service and was told that it is their busiest time of year and the photos would take exactly 1 week. The sales assistant was most unhelpful and i did wonder if i had gone i with 3 films for developing to be paid for if they would have given me the one hour service. ...

I have just phoned there 0870 number and was told ALL there branch numbers are ex directory. I then looked up the 0870 number and find out its a PREMIUM RATE SERVICE !!!

I shall now take my film to an alternative proccessor. Barry Birmingham 07595281658 ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

I owned a photographic studio and used the same Fuji nps 35mm &120 roll films. I took a roll of 36 on 35mmm film of my grandaughter and took it in Max Spiemanns new shop in our town for processing, When i got the film back all the prints had a bright blue cast on them. I had never had a result like that I was using the same lights with a white background and settings for high key shots. I returned them to the shop and said they were no good I waited 3 months the manager told me it was my fault not theirs. 1 of the negs I had printed to 20x16 by our normal printer THEY SUPPLIED A PERFECT PRINT IN 4 DAYS. I would never go there again ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

i went in a max spielmann shop to see about getting some passport photos done for me and my husband and was told it was £6.00 each for 8 photos so that would of been £12 for 16 photos when we only needed 4. You should be able to just buy the amount you want and it should not cost this much just for a picture not much bigger than a stamp!! ...

I bought a digital photo frame from the Spielmann shop in Moreton (Wirral). It was faulty and the owner said he would return my £49.99 to my debit card. He looked like he did but pulled a fast one on me. The money never went on back in my account!!!! He has now gone bust and probably owes more people than me money. So watch out when you buy anything from them. I have a feeling they are a Franchise type of business??? ...

i've recently had 5 digital disc's developed which was a total of 1236 pictures costing me £61.80. my mother collected these photos for me but when it came to me putting them into the album all the pictures were mixed up, i mean it looked like someone had thrown them in a pile, mixed them up and put them in any pack!! they we're not willing to do anything about it so i now have so sort out them all in order one by one which, i estimate will take me hours!!! if only they had told me this beforehand then each disc could have been processed through individually. since this i've heard several negative reports for max spielman!! ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

I had a package with Max Spielman for my wedding day. It was 10 disposable cameras and processing and was a very good deal. However when I took them to be processed Max Spielman lost three of the cameras. The only compensation they were willing to offer for the loss of photos from the most special day of my life was a free disposable camera!!! ...

Review of Max Spielmann Photo-Processing Shops

Max Spielmann are quite good if you are willing to wait a few days for photos to be developed. I always used to get my photos developed by them, and was never disapointed by the service and quality. You would be given a free envelop to send them off in, and you'd enclose a cheque. The photos would come back a week later. Excellent if you do not mind waiting a while, but if you need them developed quick, it is better to go in store yourself which ...

...£2 in parking fees. At Max Spielmann's, I was told that it was not ready, but that it would be ready the following day. This morning (Thursday), I went into town again, paid another £2 in parking fees and again was told that the CD was not ready. I am wondering how many more sets of £2 fees I will have to pay, before I get my film. I would certainly warn other consumers not even to consider Mak Spielmann's if they are looking for good service. ...
