GBGood product. Offer swatches? I’ve been using Blurb for my annual book of my best photography for 10 years. The app for designing and producing the cover and pages is easy, as is the ordering process. I’ve been OK with the print quality over the years but wanted to see if it would improve with the higher end paper. It gets expensive ordering books just to test papers but I am happy with the ProPhoto Pearl paper. I would like to see Blurb offer a sample swatch set so people can see how each paper handles the printing of photos, text, etc. I would have been willing to pay a small fee for the swatches vs the expense of a full book.

GBPoor customer service, outdated software I've been using Blurb for over 10 years. And finally moved on to a competitor after realizing how antiquated their software is. I endured many crashes, lost projects, and wasted time. When I reached out to get support, I was sent around to 4 different people. Not one had an answer for me or could solve the issues. Not ideal given how expensive their books have become. Now that I'm using a competitor to make books, I'm amazed at how much time and money I wasted with this company over the years

GBGreat Customer Service I recently used Blurb to make a picture journal as a wedding gift to my partner. I had never done anything like this before, so I had reached out to the customer service to get a better sense of what I should do to execute my idea, and it was by far the best customer service response I have ever had. I felt heard and entirely helped. It was hard work to get the journal organized, but that was purely based on it being my first time. Once I finished and ordered the book, it was a quick turnaround, and it came out absolutely amazingly.

GBA great experience from start to… A great experience from start to finish. Layout process was easy once I’d gotten my head around it. Far easier than struggling with Lightroom. I didn’t choose the best quality paper and so can’t really comment on the best quality available but mine results were as I expected them to be. Can’t ask for more than that really. Next time I’ll go for the lay-flat option and better quality paper. Customer service was excellent with a refreshing, no-quibble attitude. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends. 👍

GBOutstanding Without Standard Shipping My order was, as usual, produced extremely fast. I'm amazed! I didn't use the standard shipping option this time, and Bada-Bing, I got the shipment very quick. I ordered 12 copies of my 140 page book on a Friday, going to 5 addresses, and all were printed and delivered by Thursday and Friday the very next week. Impressive!!!
