A curate’s egg: product great, delivery rubbish
I bought a print for my partner for Christmas. There were only 3 suppliers I could find that did the painting that he wanted. I chose myartprints (even though it was not the cheapest) because of the reviews on here.
First, the print itself. Fabulous, 5 stars. I had a frame already, so loved the fact that you could choose the size of the image and the border. It fitted the frame exactly, amazing. I chose to have the print done on canvas and paid extra for a hand-applied varnish. The canvas is a good, heavy weight and the final product looks absolutely wonderful, very pleased.
Then the delivery (to the UK), for which I paid £8. Hopeless. I ordered the print towards the end of November. The first email from UPS told me that delivery would be on 3 December, the day I would be flying out for a fortnight’s holiday. I rang them on the day I received the email and was told that I could re-arrange delivery for a different date, or to a different address, but not until after delivery had been attempted. I received the email saying that delivery had been attempted when I was at the airport. I rang straight away to re-arrange delivery for 21 December. I was rung back by the local UPS depot when I was on the tarmac to confirm the re-arranged delivery date, so I thought all was well. I arrived back from holiday late on 18 December to find a card saying my package had been left at the local collection point in early December after no-one had been at home. Followed by an email saying my package had been returned to the sender on 18 December, as it hadn’t been picked up from the collection point within 10 days! Next day, on ringing UPS, they confessed that it was all their fault and told me how to arrange for re-delivery at their expense once the package got back to the sender. However, of course by then it was too late to get the package back to me by Christmas. Very disappointing.
