Written by the company

The idea for Grabie started in 2021 as a response to the widespread anxiety and depression that touched many of our lives during the pandemic. We ourselves have experienced the uplifting, inspiring, and healing powers of creative expression through art and became passionate about making it available and accessible to as many people as possible! Together we’re committed to encouraging everyone to embrace their individuality and express themselves creatively. Our goal is to support as many people as possible by giving them access to art supplies that they would not otherwise have. We’ve seen how art can support mental health, so we’ve created the Grabie Art Fund to fund donations of art supplies to our partner organizations. Your purchase helps to put thoughtfully selected art supplies into the hands of people in underserved communities, to support mental health via art therapy.

Gorgeous Glitter Pens

Item came in a timely manner and the product is awesome. Much more ink in these pens than the usual pens I order. Colors are very glitter-vibrant.

What fun!

The colors are vivid and mix really well. The watercolor book took a lot of water without buckling, nice thick paper. I am really pleased with the paintings I completed.
I do wish there was a reference picture to go by, as some outlines are tough to figure out.
Can't wait for the next quarterly box!

TBH It took so long to get to me I emailed about it, and got a canned response that did not help.
By the time I got it, I don't know why I ordered it. It certainly wasn't a deal.

Do not make that a review please!

I LOVE the regular fine point acrylic pens but have found the glitters sometimes dried up. I sent many of both as gifts and have not yet asked if any others have found that with glitters. I am a retired Art teacher who still has a weekly Art group with old colleagues. Will see what they say. Hopefully my experience was a one off!!

Excellent goodies

The box was packed with goodies that felt high end and luxurious. I was really pleased by how much came in the box and felt like it was worth the price I paid! The aesthetic felt luxurious and classy.

Great markers and a little confusing shipping

The shipping process was a little confusing, but I did receive the markers within the timeline of 7-20 days.

The markers are very high quality. I will buy more of these markers in the future, but might buy from Amazon or an art store instead of directly from the manufacturer.

Everything worked out in the end and I am happy I purchased the set of dual tip acrylic markers. Now to finish coloring in the color chart. :)

Do not purchase from them

It has been almost a month since I placed an order and have yet to receive it. Customer service doesn’t help with the issue other than giving you tracking information. Item says shipped but is still in Illinois where it started??

Unable to get in touch with customer service regarding concerns

I am disappointed with my experience with ordering from Grabie. I ordered some items in early December. I was notified of shipping a couple of days later: However, I still have not received my items (it has been ~4 weeks). The USPS tracking has been alternating between "arrived at shipping partner facility, USPS awaiting item" and "departed shipping partner facility, USPS awaiting item" for the past month. The location listed with these "updates" has not changed. I tried to get in touch with customer service to make sure everything was okay with my order, but I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone. I've tried to contact customer service about 6 times over the past two weeks, and I haven't been able to locate any additional contact information. I was starting to become concerned about it being a potential scam and was looking into filing a dispute through Paypal. However, per the recent reviews on this site, it appears I am not the only one with this issue. I am glad I'm not the only one and do feel less concerned about Grabie being a scam, but because of my poor experience and seeing that others have this problem too, I do not recommend ordering from this company. Not because of the long shipping time, but because of the lack of response from customer service and the inability to convey concerns or have them addressed.

Outrageous shipping times

While I like their paint their website shipping time is insanely long with no true tracking. My bf ordered a bunch of stuff for Christmas for me and it's been over 20 days, no updates, no responses to emails, no info. I wouldn't care about the timeframe if they were true to the customer and actually communicated a realistic delivery. I'm trying to be patient with them since I know it's coming from overseas but I've gotten items from Korean and Japan in a week or less so I genuinely don't know their excuse.

Edit/update: still do not have my items. It's been almost a month now since ordering. They use some sort of crappy technique when putting in shipping where it sits in limbo with a US tracking number while the overseas shipping happens. No idea why it's taking so long and their response isn't good either. This will be my last order from them, I'll swap to another brand after this nightmare.
