Horrible experience

I ordered a frame for a client project from Blick. When I received it, it looked like something you would pull off the shelf at target. I was authorized to return it, but shocked to find that I had to return it at my own expense and because of its size all three major carriers wanted more money than I had paid for the frame. Anywhere between 200 and $600. Blick offered no resolution and nowhere on their website when I ordered the frame did it say if you return it your responsible for the shipping. Do yourself a favor and go to pictureframes.com or any other online company because you don’t want to buy from Blick. I’ve ordered a lot of supplies from Blick over the years and never had a problem, but this is a big one. Oh, and their claim for a guaranteed satisfaction? It’s just noise there’s no teeth to it.

Difficult to return when it is defective! TERRIBLE QUALITY!

This review is about my last order and not easy access to return option.I purchase often from this company.
1. it is very unpleasant that if they sent you a defective item in order to return you have to waste time and effort to figure out how to return and ship it back! Big company like that have to have easy and convenient ways for returns!
2. The non glare sheets are a HUGE disappointment! I was hoping because it is thinner it will be better, but no, the image still looks blurry and foggy. A lot of defects on each sheet, some white dots and dents.
Order number:50869570

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately we did not receive information to verify your purchase so we are unable to provide additional assistance with your complaint. Blick offers a satisfaction guarantee and if you are displeased with this product, please reach out to our customer service group for further assistance.
For the beads, the images featured on our website are mainly used to highlight the packaging of this product (especially since these beads are a common size.) Pony beads are a generally recognized size which is consistent, despite the manufacturer. Our beads are also this consistent size. If you were seeking a larger bead, the pony bead would not be what you were looking for.
Our Product Information group is also available to ask questions about products before purchase. If further information about a product is needed, they're happy to help clarify.

Block’s the best

I’m a potter and for years I’ve purchased all of my glazes from Blick. There is a pottery store close to me but Blick beats their prices and the shipping is fast.

I love everything about Blick

I love everything about Blick. Ordering is simple. If I have a question I can call a person. If I make a mistake they fix it. If they make a mistake they fix it. Shipping is smooth. If there’s a back order they let you know. They don’t finish the painting if I get stuck, but they have the frames ready to go when I’m finished!

I ordered several pencils and I watched…

I ordered several pencils and I watched the shipment trail on line. After several days I noticed that the shipment had stalled and after 7 days, contacted Blick. They immediately sent out another order and apologized, which they did not have to do since it was not their fault. The US postal service was at fault! The pencils from the original order were delivered several days later and then 2 days later the second order was delivered. I called Blick and offered to pay for the double order and they said No, if you could use them, just keep them and if not just donate them. I can use them! No wonder I have been a customer of Blick for years, they treat the customers with respect!!

Blick has a huge selection

Blick has a huge selection, good prices, and usually ships items fairly quickly. I just wish they would offer free shipping to frequent customers - i don't like to wait until I reach the $79 free shipping level so sometimes place smaller orders with Amazon.

I needed help several times

I needed help several times and each time that I asked a salesperson for assistance, I was greeted and helped right away. I always feel welcomed in this store and appreciate the quality customer service.

Thanks so much for your review! We're sorry that your recent experience was not satisfactory. Upon review of your order, we see that you were shipped a replacement brush that was experiencing an in issue with the bristles. When possible, we like to educate the customer how they can rectify a situation rather than continuing to reship. Especially if the issue does not affect the overall quality of the product. This is also a time savings for you so that you do not have to wait for yet another reship when the issue can be readily resolved. If you are unsure how to rectify your brush issue, our Product Information department is available to assist with this process. 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com.
