Blick Art Materials, LLC Anmeldelser 

I recently Purchased 3 frames and two of them have blemishes in the finish. Item #:18846-8012 Blick Simplon Frame, 3-1/4”- 8” x 10” x ½”, The espresso-colored paint was stuck to the corner protectors. When the stuck-on cardboard was taken off the frame, the paint was damaged underneath. Item #:18846-8112 Blick Simplon Frame 3-1/4”-8” x 10” x ½”, the Antique Bronze Paint was chipped and came with gold paint on the chips like someone tried to repair it.
I bought these frames for a plein air festival where someone will be paying a large price and will not want an imperfect frame. I just emailed Blick. There will be an update once I hear from them. Update! I just received my 2 replacement frames, and one is damaged Blick Simplon Frame, 3-1/4”- 8” x 10” x ½”, in Espresso. It seems that the espresso paint is sticking to the cardboard corner protectors. I cannot accept this. I really don't have any more time to mess with this. I am very disappointed.

I'll use Blick again but not because I'm happy.

If I could Blick to do some things differently, it would be to package things better, stop using Fedex since they are the ones who seem to literally throw stuff on their box corners out of the trucks, check the quality of the goods before they are packaged.

Credentials: I'm a professional artist who paints full time for a living and sells around 70K worth of art a year. (I'm a former tenured professor of art and art history.) I by all my supplies through Blick but, I still am annoyed by them.

I feel about Blick the way the I feel about Amazon, they don't care about how you feel: provide poor customer service but they have the monopoly.

I order almost all my supplies from Blick, canvas panels, stretched canvas, Winsor Newton paints, brushes, the whole shebang. I have ordered the same products and amounts from other sites and the prices are comparable but often the quality, delivery time, and customer service are worse. So Blick is able to beat grade "C" companies with a "B-" although at times I've had an "A" level experience too.

I always expect things to arrive damaged or poorly packed. How things are shipped sucks, and often things are damaged. Paint tubes are poorly packed and busted open or cut by the other items in the boxes and corners of canvas panels are sometimes damaged, and stretched canvas is often loose due to poor warehouse conditions or poor packing, but Blick always replaces them if you get in touch.

For example, I just got a shipment of 18x18x1.5 inch stretched canvases and the boxes were really messed up (the canvases were okay to use just loose or dented) easily fixed, I have had to spray canvas retentioner on every canvas to tighten them back up. I've actually got in touch with the owners by figuring out their emails and they have offered me coupons and discounts.

I ordered some crackle effect spray paint from Blick art. Out of 8 different cans, 3 wouldn’t spray so i called their customer service. they were very polite and they sent me replacements within 3 days that work without making things difficult. Thank you!

I've shopped at their in-person locations along with buying online and both experiences are easy and the materials are quality. the staffers are friendly and for their online presence, I really value the detailed inventory information.

The delivery is right on time and the website is precise on what you buy.

Love these crayons. They go down very smoothly. I wish they had more colors. I would definitely buy them again. I use them in color books and tried them on several different kinds of paper. Colors are very saturated. They blend well on their own. You can also use them with gamsol and paper stump and/or Derwent blender pen and they give a beautiful smooth blended look. Order got here very quickly with no problems. Blick is great.

Thanks

Prompt service and no shipping fees made me so happy, as painting paper weighs a lot! When our local art shop closed this year, I was not sure how I was going to get the paper needed to supply an elementary school without paying exorbitant shipping costs. Thanks Blick. Some boxes slightly squished which is a carrier issue, but maybe the box cardboard could be a bit thicker.

Blick is my “go to” site for ordering almost any art supplies that I need. They ship quickly and carefully pack what they ship. The products I’ve ordered have always arrived in perfect shape. I’ve been so satisfied with Blick that I don’t use any other art supply sites.

I was able to purchase pottery glazes that I was unable to find at other retailer. The price was a little bit higher that others but I received them quickly and in good condition. I will certainly check back at Blick in the future for my pottery needs.

Thank you. I got what I ordered quickly. It was packed well and had a decent price (for an admittedly expensive item).

Little tricky to figure stretcher bars, but got it finally.

Quality paints and pallet knives- just as described.

Great stuff. Just what I need . Great prices. Fast delivery. Everything in one. 5 thumbs up

The items were delivered promptly. I accidentally over ordered one item and the return refund was processed within days. I was pleased. It was easy to talk with a representative through chat.

I have never had a problem ordering and have always been happy with Blick Art, and it's not that it was a problem now, my order apparently on back order. I was unaware of that until after I purchased. Now the order has been pushed back again and once again was not notified. I only found out after looking up my order again. An email would have been nice.

I paint with acrylics and have purchased paint and brushes from DickBlick a few times over the past couple years. I've found the pricing very reasonable compared with other online retailers, and far better value than the local stores. I wait until I need to replenish multiple items to take advantage of the amount required for free shipping.
The selection is excellent, ranging from economy to professional grade materials.
The ordering process is very straightforward to navigate, and the order was shipped promptly, as per notifications by email.

I have been doing business forever with Blick, because the quality, variety, and prices are so good. I’ve not painted for 2 years, so when I went back to Blick, I was happy that they carried the same frame collections that I loved. I was not surprised the prices have increased, but not prohibitively. I ordered my frame and it came in less than a week! It is just how I remember.

Ordered system from Blick , it was fairly priced and shipped promptly and packaged with excellent attention .

Blick is always my go to art supply store. They just get it done!

I was very excited to receive my items in such a timely matter. I have already started using a few of the items. Thank you BLICK !
