Expensive, hilariously slow, and unreliable

"expensive, slower than Lada full of elephants going uphill, and about as reliable as a Russian automobile. Just a guess, but they'll likely start flinging orders from a trebuchet so they can keep up with the times. If ya call em, you'll want to make sure your in a quiet closet and have your phone hooked up to an amplifier so you can hear the whispering service agent tell you they don't know."

Great service and speed

"I received a gift card for my art program fundraiser that I used to buy materials. I was worried that materials wouldn't arrive until right before the event, but items were delivered 2-3 weeks before the delivery date I was given at the time of ordering."

Unfortunately bad packing

"Ordering was easy but unfortunately my purchase was not packed with care. I ordered a tube of paint that was not in its packaging and came slightly squished. One of my watercolor brushes came without a protective cap so a few hairs were damaged. This was my first experience ordering with Blick. Nothing was damaged to the point of being returned, it was just disappointing. "

exactly what i wanted, and arrived two days early

"Blick has some hard to find colors that local stores do not carry, and at better prices.
Though i had to wait for shipping, it arrived two days earlier than expected.
The Golden So-Flat paints are extremely interesting. no shine at all.
Makes scanning the final work MUCH easier.
So-Flat can be draw upon by Micron pens and water color based colored pencils for subtle effects and fine details.
The So-Flat black is very close to the blackness of the Holbein Jet Black and easier to apply.

Great Art Supplies-Fast Service Delivery

"I am working on a large commission and needed more art materials quickly. Blick is the place I go to for supplies and the many prices are a bit lower than my local art supply store-which I do love as well."

Felt proud of what art supplies I purchased at the price I paid

"I had a wonderful experience with Blick. The sale prices I took advantage of sent my frugal self over the moon! With inflation being not only a hot topic but a detriment to our hard earned dollars, the proud feeling I got purchasing quality materials for a price that didn't hurt is few and far between these days. Thank you for the no nonsense, user friendly purchasing experience. The whole process with my Android mobile went quickly and easily. Also, the package I received was in top notch condition and my oil paints were tucked carefully in their boxes and surrounded by air keeping everything inside from being damaged. It does not go unnoticed!"

Slow Shipping

"The materials are fine - top notch, as usual. However, my online order took a week to get shipped...that's a bit much. I needed the items and was delayed because of the slow shipping. Recommend you buy Blick's quality materials, but be prepared to wait to get them."
