"TBH, I actually signed onto a different website in order to take advantage of Golden's major semi-annual sale of acrylic paint. However, the site was so frustrating, slow, and error-prone that I clicked off in disgust and searched for a different vendor. Found Blick, and in a few simple clicks, ended up buying several hundred dollars worth of product. Thank you, web masters. Blick apparently realizes the difference you make to their sales! But it all would've been for naught if the company hadn't followed up the sales with excellent notifications re the speedy delivery of my orders. Lastly, the way in which the tubes of paint and brushes were packaged so that they arrived in perfect condition means that Blick is now my absolute go-to place for all of my artist supplies.
You've got it down pat, Blick. Thank you!!
Don't screw it up now by changing what you're doing so very well."
"I had a tube of paint come in that was not color I ordered. I text them and they were very Professional. I was sent out a replacement immediately and they apologized for any inconvenience. I have used Blick for many years and will continue to do so. "
"I have bought from Blick before, but some years ago. I am in Australia and had goods shipped to my daughter In L.V. This time I wanted items for my grandaughter in L.V. I placed the order asking delivery to Las Vegas. All went well, the goods arrived and now they are under the Christmas tree waiting for the right day to pen them"
"Everything I ordered arrived in great condition in a timely manner! Perfect timing for holiday gifts."
"CALLED THE 800#, FIRST ASKED IF THE COMPANY SHIPPED TO FLORIDA PRISONS. WAS ASSURED THEY DID !! THEN PLACED MY ORDER, GAVE "ALL" INFO NEEDED AND ASKED FOR. THE NEXT THING I KNOW, MY ORDER WAS CANCELED, MONEY REFUNDED, NO DELIVERY!! WAS REFUSED AT THE PRISON, AS THEY ONLY ACCEPY DELIVERIES FROM THE "USPS" !! YOUR COMPANY SHIPPED FEDEX, THUS ORDER WAS REFUSED!! WHILE I APPRECIATED A QUICK REFUND, WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE BEEN CALLED (WAS ASKED FOR MY PHONE # WHEN I ORIGINALLY ORDERED). BUT, NOT ONE WORD OF CONTACT, NO CALL,TEXT MESSAGE OR EMAIL!! WHY NOT ?? I HAVE SINCE REORDERED THE ITEMS, AFTER I CALLED YOUR COMPANY, WAS REASSURED THE ORDER WOULD BE SENT 'USPS', BUT I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED AN ACKNOWLEGEMENT OF MY ORDER, VIA TEXT MESSAGE OR AN EMAIL!!! PRAYING THIS ORDER WAS ACTUALLY PROCESSED, IS BEING SENT !!"
"Shipping was very fast but the box was rather beat up. Glaze containers had not been wrapped in plastic or taped shut to prevent spills. Fortunately nothing leaked, but I would think twice before ordering again as I wouldn't want to risk it."

"Blick had exactly what i needed, at a great price, and they shipped my order quickly after i ordered. It arrived quickly, in perfect condition, and well packaged.
My only gripe is that this was a gift for someone else, and mine broke the day after i ordered, so i need another, but don't want to pay the shipping again; it would have been much cheaper to buy two at the same time. "

"A great job of fulfilling my annual restocking order thank you so much. "
"Great selection for the items I wanted. "
"My box contained Michael Harding Non-absorbent primer which was broken. There was acrylic primer all over the other items in the box. Also, I had received a large stretch linen canvas that was loosely stretched. Not acceptable."
“Hello Barbara,
Thank you for your review. I am so very sorry the Michael Harding Primer arrived damaged.
You may dispose of this primer. We will not need it returned.
A replacement will ship out tomorrow and will arrive in about 3-4 business days by FedEx.
You will receive miscellaneous emails regarding a credit and rebill for the replacement order. Please keep in mind that no further activity will be processed on your credit card regarding this replacement order. This is an internal transaction only.
I was also unable to locate an order where a stretched linen was ordered. Would you be so kind to reach out to us at 800-828-4548 or custservice@dickblick.com to provide the order number this linen was purchased under so we can assist you further.
Again, I am so sorry about this. Thank you for allowing us the chance to fix it.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Thank you and Happy Holidays,
Amanda

"I have two dip pens and two fountain pens. I bought them for sketching and some calligraphy. The Winsor & Newton ink works great for my glass dip pen and bamboo reed pen. The Black and Sepia is working great with my fountain pens. All four ink sets are just what I was looking for.
Thank you"
