Historic Newspapers Recensioni 

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

I made an order with this company 10 days ago, using “express delivery” and I am yet to receive it, they will not speak with you on the phone or on chat, and when you email a different person responds each and you have to explain the situation all over again.

Amazon claim they attempted delivery yesterday at 11:32 but I am sitting at the front of an office where delivery is to be made and nothing was attempted, today they claim they successfully delivered it to this same address but this is a complete lie.

I bought this product as a present 10 days ago for my father in law who was close to passing away, one last gift, due to the incompetence of this company and Amazon, I failed to give it to him before he had died.

Historic Newspapers are now asking me to wait a day or 2 for delivery; even though delivery has apparently been made, and the recipient of the gift is now dead.

Whether it is Gemma, Emma, Joanna or Claudia…. All who are names that have responded to my emails and I have had to individually explain the situation over and over again, you should be proud to work for this company.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, and I hope that you enjoy the full £75 that I spent!

I recently bought Ashes and I am very disappointed. First 20-40 pages are so small that even with a magnifying glass it will be hard to read.

The order was for a specific wedding anniversary date across a range of newspapers. The company sent a book for the whole year and only the Mirror. It arrived several days late, thus missing the anniversary.

I will continue ordering books from Historic Newspaper. Costumer Service was top notch and I cannot be more pleased with their communication and commitment to helping me with my errors. My 2026 Christmas gifts are all set. Thank you for the help Kristy!

If you are considering buying a book from historic-newspapers.com, I would suggest you reconsider.

I bought my husband a Colts book for Father’s Day and although the idea is great, the book is missing the draft of Peyton Manning, how does something that important to the history of the team get left out?

I asked to return it, but they don’t allow returns on any books, they consider them personalized since they make you choose a cover. They did refund 20% of my total, but that’s all they would do.

Again, it’s a nice idea, but it isn’t worth the price they charge.

I bought this for my boyfriend’s birthday. Took 3 weeks to arrive. Opened it up to find the product is not what is advertised in the pictures on website. Every page on the left has dots on it. Website pictures how both sides would have newspaper clippings. I wish I could upload pictures here to show the poor quality.

Hasn’t even been made yet and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Not even a time line of when it will be ready even tho obviously people only buy things like this for birthdays. Don’t waste your money. Spent a fortune on this and think it’s a scam. Gutted.

Product may be good but I cannot comment on that because it hasn't been made or sent yet! Ordered on 15th April, paid for fast delivery and expected the book on the 20th which was last Monday. Contacted by email to ask for tracking only to be told it hadn't been sent and no idea when it would be. Very apologetic but still no book and I need it for 23rd april which is my husband's 70th birthday. They did answer my emails to begin with but now ignore me. So disappointed. So if you are thinking of buying g a book, DONT. Find something else.

I initially had a frustrating experience with delivery delays, but I want to give credit where it’s due.

Historic Newspapers made a genuine effort to resolve the issue — they refunded the delivery fee, traced the original parcel, and arranged a replacement without hesitation. The original item was eventually located and collected, and the matter was fully resolved.

The product itself is excellent and makes for a very unique gift. What stood out most was that when things went wrong, their team took responsibility and sorted it out properly.

I would definitely recommend them.

I ordered two different items, and they were exactly what I was looking for. I’m completely satisfied, and the person I gifted it to said it’s their favorite present.

Delivery was a day later than stated at time of purchase. I was sent an inaccurate message saying the product had been delivered at 10am on the correct day when I was at home all that morning. I had ordered it as a birthday present for the next day so I contacted HN through their email address to be told the message was inaccurate and it was still in an Amazon warehouse. I could have a refund or it would be delivered within 10 days. Fortunately I waited and it arrived the day of the birthday.
This followed a previous experience where a friend bought an HN product for me but it was delivered to the wring address.
The product is great but the delivery and service sucks

I’m really impressed with the quality of the book — it’s worth every penny. It arrived quickly and was very securely packaged. The print is quite small on the older pages, but that’s expected as they’re taken from original newspapers, and it becomes larger in the more recent editions. Overall, it makes a truly unique and highly recommended gift.

First, I must say that I’m very happy with the product itself (apart from the colour I erroneously ordered)
BUT, there is no phone number listed on their website. However, there is one that comes up using a Google search which, unfortunately replies with 'no longer available'. Either way it's impossible to speak to a member of staff.

I realised immediately that I’d inadvertently ordered the wrong colour so I needed to amend my order. With no way of speaking to an actual person I emailed within 15 mins of placing it but received a standard fob off reply. If I could have spoken to a real person my amendment could have been actioned.

Their emailed communication and apology was excellent but too late to have any effect on my order.

I don’t understand why they avoid talking to customers directly as
I believe publishing a phone number and being available to answer the phone gives re-assurance to buyers so would enormously improve their customer service.

Spent $200 on an F1 book for my brothers birthday. It has just arrived and I’m appalled at the state it has been delivered in. The front pages look like they were glued down by a toddler, and the front cover is so bent that the book doesn’t close properly. So disappointed in this dismal quality. Shouldn’t have paid any more than $50 for the quality of this book.

I made a mistake in my ordering and they fixed it and sent the correct one immediately. FANTASTIC and responsive customer service. The F1 book I purchased for my daughter was fantastic and being able to add a short dedication was so cool! It was everything I had hoped for. Highly recommended!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. I ordered the historic Notre Dame football book as a gift for my 94-year-old father, who grew up with ND. I am sorely disappointed. The type is so small that it cannot be read. The marketing photos on the website are truly misleading. They do not accept returns and offered a 20% refund on the $139.99 order. Save yourself the frustration and move on to another source.

My mum ordered quite close to Christmas as a last min gift for my dad. We paid for express delivery which generated an estimated delivery of the day before Christmas. I hadn’t seen much movement so pinged the team an email - and since Skye and Gemma have been great helps informing me transparently of where and when my order was and when it was expected/ delivered. The book made it at the correctly provided time and i was extremely grateful for the whole experience. Would purchase again!

I ordered two different ones and exactly what I wanted. I am 100 percent satisfied and the person I gave to said their favorite gift

So disappointed in the book. Half is packed with the tiniest print clippings from long ago that you can’t read and the paper is poor quality. It looks tacky rather than a keepsake. I was too embarrassed to give it to my partner for Christmas so it’s a huge waste of money. Don’t buy.

Ordered Dec. 1 for a Christmas gift and they ship with the cheapest option, UPS Mail Innovations (no other option available). Gift is stuck in a warehouse close to me but won't be delivered until shipping volume goes down. When I reached out they didn't care, "just tell us if you don't get it and we will refund you". Awful.
