Ordered September 6

I uploaded the picture through Facebook (I think) today, October 23, 2024.

The fact that it has taken over six weeks of me asking about it and you now tell me the photo didn’t update. I asked about this three times and just got a canned response that someone would get back to me. Never did. Therefore, I can’t and don’t trust you. Just send me my $62 back. I want nothing to do with this distrustful company.

Ordered September 6, 2024. Sorry it was #155492. Emailed them September 14, 2024 with a question about the picture they show as my order. It was their stock photo of a couple with a dog, not my upload. I received a canned response that they could take ten days to get back to me. Emailed again October 12, and 17, 2024, got same canned responses. It has been over six weeks!!! I got nothing!!!! This SUCKS! They took my $62 though!!!!

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us.

The image shown in the order confirmation is a preview image, intended to represent the product category or type but not the specific photo you uploaded. Unfortunately, this image is not dynamic and does not change based on your custom upload. But you see the uploaded image in your cart and during checkout.

Regarding the order number you referenced (#15545), we double-checked our system, and this number corresponds to an order from 2020. It seems this could either be a mix-up with the order number or an order from another store.

That said, we are committed to helping you resolve this issue quickly! Please feel free to reach out to us directly through any of our social media channels if you have additional questions or need further assistance.

We want to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable experience, so we are here to help anytime.

EDIT:
Thank you for updating your review and providing the correct order number. Upon checking, we found that this order does not have a photo attached to it.

Could you please send us the photo you intended to upload? The easiest way to get this resolved quickly would be through Facebook Messenger or Instagram. Just send us a message with the photo, and we’ll make sure everything is sorted for you promptly.

We’re here to assist and ensure you have a great experience with us. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

I cannot recommend this company

I cannot recommend this company. Buyer beware. Placed an order on July 22 and still have not received though the company did charge me $149 for merchandise I did not receive. I send numerous emails and receive the same automated response that they will be getting back to me. No response and no tracking info. Their phone number is automated and you cannot speak to a live representative. You are directed to email which is a waste of time.

Look Mom Twins!

This is the best paint by number I have ever done, It was extremely easy to read the numbers and I really loved the extra sheet, that was supplied, for when I slipped and painted over a number and needed to figure it out. The colors were perfect and the painting turned out great.

Still waiting for my order months…

Still waiting for my order months later... I almost feel stupid to send this gift if I ever get it. I have sent several emails and not one person has responded back to me. I get the same generated email back every single time. Will never order from here again. At this point I am almost demanding a refund and sending this company to Better Business Bureau

Hi Danielle,

this is your third bad review with different emails I believe. We just wrote seconds ago on instagram with you and provided you all the informations including the tracking number. We even reshipped it for you so you most probably will have your order twice and still leave a bad review anyways which is very sad.

We truly appreciate your patience and understand your frustration. It’s disappointing to hear that you’re still feeling dissatisfied despite our efforts to resolve the situation. As mentioned in our recent conversation just a moment ago on Instagram, we’ve shipped your order twice, and the latest update shows that it’s almost out for delivery. We’ve also provided the tracking number to keep you informed every step of the way.

Our aim is always to offer transparent communication and to address any concerns promptly. We apologize if our previous responses didn’t meet your expectations and we’re genuinely here to ensure a positive experience for you.

If there’s anything else we can do to assist or if you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. We’re here to help.

Hi Danielle,

We're sorry to hear about your frustration, but we feel it’s important to clarify the situation. We have sent you several emails regarding your order because you did not upload any photo when placing it, which is necessary for us to produce your custom painting. Without the photo, we’re unable to proceed with your personalized order.

We kindly ask you to send the photo via Instagram or Facebook Messenger if you're having trouble with email. We want to complete your order, but we simply need the photo to do so.

We’re here to assist you and make sure you receive the personalized gift you ordered. Please get in touch with us so we can resolve this for you.

Customer is NEVER right

Great when customers are happy, but when there's customer dissatisfaction, customer service has lied and ghosted all communications.
I've had 4 really great experiences with BestPaintbyNumbers, and one really awful experience that cost USD72.19. Beginning with a 6/8/2024 order, now 9/20/2024, there is no resolution. This company only responded after my initial TrustPilot review (thank you TrustPilot). For an order that was submitted and paid on 6/8/24, on 8/27/24 they offered to reproduce. What I received was a distorted image and the colors were all tones of red. After expressing my dissatisfaction, the company once again went silent and there is absolutely no resolution.

I can accept errors and sometimes poor product, but irresponsible customer service is completely unacceptable. Just own mistakes and make them right.

Hi Debbie, you already wrote a review. It's sad that you write another one. We never ghosted you. We answered you via email, sent you your order TWICE and answered you on social media...

Beautiful results I’m no artist

Beautiful results I’m no artist, but with this kit, I felt like one! I painted a photo of my grandparents, and the result was beyond anything I expected. The customer service team was also super helpful when I had questions about my order.

Highly recommend for custom portraits

Highly recommend for custom portraits! I recently finished a portrait of my dog, and the level of detail was stunning. The instructions were clear, and the paint quality was excellency. I’m definitely ordering another kit for my next project.

Incredible results

Incredible results! I painted a landscape photo I took on vacation, and the result was breathtaking. The paint colors were so vivid, and the canvas was easy to work with. I love how relaxing this project was. I'll be ordering more!

Great quality and service I had some doubts about how my custom painting would turn out, but I was blown away. The colors were rich, and the painting looked so lifelike. Customer service was responsive and helpful throughout the whole process.
