Art.com Disappointing Quality and Customer Service

After spending $200 on artwork from Art.com, I was extremely disappointed with the low-quality prints. They were wrinkled beyond repair and had major dents. The prints did not match the online descriptions at all. I will never buy from Art.com again and would not recommend them to anyone. It was a complete waste of money and a terrible experience overall.

Art.com Wow

Can't believe all the negative reviews! I have gotten several pictures from them over the past two years and all have been high quality and just as ordered.
I would highly recommend using this site to get reasonably priced, high quality pictures!

Art.com Order met my expectations

I ordered a framed, 30" x 40" canvas piece from Art.com early in Jan '21. My order arrived 12 days later. It was packaged well and easy to install with the included the hardware. It looks very nice on our bedroom wall (see photo). It also has a nice frame.

Art.com Very Pleased

I am very surprised to read all of the negative reviews. I just ordered a piece called Greetings from Dubuque, Iowa. My order came less than a week after I ordered it! I bought a frame elsewhere and framed it hung it up immediately. I posted a picture of it on Facebook and linked to art.com in case anyone was interested!

Art.com The selection is wide, I found everything I was looking

The selection is wide, I found everything I was looking for quickly. Prints are often available in several sizes, and are of good quality. The packaging is good, the shipment is quick, and the prices are reasonable.If you want good art reproductions at reasonable prices, shop here, find a reasonable framer, and enjoy. An excellent experience. My apartment looks a lot better now, and no more Thrift Shop art.

Art.com Gold standard of customer service

I had an issue with their contract shipper (FedEx) who failed to honor my vacation hold set up on the FedEx account manager, lied about the delivery being made during the vacation hold, although we could see the package on the front step via our security camera, and refused to pick up the merchandise even though they were not supposed to have delivered it. Art.com responded immediately to my complaint with a full credit on the cost of shipping my order. Couldn't ask for a better outcome, although FedEx should be making amends, not Art.com.

Art.com Return policy is terrible.

Bought a print as a gift. I did not open it until it was opened by the recipient. It tried to return it as it was too big. I did not see the print until after I tried to return it. Upon viewing the print, the image was blurry and unusable even if it did fit. Customer service said the shipping was on me. I had to pay $63 to return it. Do not buy from them!

Art.com Disappointing Quality and Poor Framing: My Experience with Art.com Prints

I recently made a purchase from art.com and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the prints. I ordered two 12"X16" pictures, one of an F-14D Tomcat and the other of an aircraft carrier. However, when I opened the package, I was immediately put off by the fact that the pictures were not framed up on the wall as I had hoped.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the first print of the F-14D Tomcat had the pitot tube of the plane cut off at the left edge of the picture, and the plane's vertical stabilizer was too near the right edge of the picture. Similarly, the second picture of the aircraft carrier had the front end of the ship cut off at the left edge of the picture and the rear end of the ship cut off at the right edge of the picture.

Now, I'm no expert in photography, but I do know that a good picture includes the ENTIRE photo subject COMPLETELY within the paper's edges with generous room to spare on all four sides. It's like when you take a passport photo of your face, but the top of your head is missing at the top edge, or your chin is cut off at the bottom edge. It just doesn't look right.

Unfortunately, since my purchase was an international order to Singapore, I didn't bother asking for replacement prints or a refund. It just seemed like too much hassle. Plus, I had a feeling that the replacement prints would come back the same as the ones I threw away.

Overall, I have to say that I was disappointed with my experience with art.com. While the website had a great selection of prints to choose from, the quality of the prints themselves left something to be desired. If you're looking for high-quality prints that are completely framed within the paper's edges, you may want to look elsewhere.

Art.com Mixed Experiences with Art.com: Frustrating Shipping and Quality Issues

I've been using Art.com for a while now, and I've spent a good chunk of change on their framed prints. They've got a pretty good selection, and I like that they offer different frame options. But let me tell you, I've had some issues with them.

The first couple of times I ordered from them, I got some big, bulky framed black and white prints. And every single one of them was smashed to bits when it arrived. It took three tries to get them to me in one piece. That was frustrating, to say the least.

Then, when I moved into my new house last year, I ordered a big framed print to go over the fireplace and a couple of smaller ones. But when I hung the big one up, the hanging wire was screwed right at the edge of the frame, and it ripped out as soon as I put it up. Not cool.

And just last week, I ordered two more prints - both with glass. But when they arrived, one had glass and the other had acrylic. I chatted with someone named George online, and he kept insisting that I had ordered "acrylic glass," which is not the same thing. After an hour of back and forth, I finally just demanded a refund for both items. They did eventually refund me, but it was a hassle.

I really wish Art.com could get it right. I want to support American businesses, but they just keep messing up. This is probably going to be my last order with them.

Art.com Art.com's Return Policy is Misleading and Incompetent Customer Service

I gotta say, I ain't too happy with Art.com. I thought I was getting a sweet deal with their return policy - they say you can return anything within 30 days for a free replacement or return. But what they don't tell you is that you gotta pay to ship it back if you don't like it. And let me tell you, that ain't cheap. I had to fork over $38 just to send back a picture I wasn't feeling.

And that ain't even the worst part. Their return policy says you'll get your money back in 48 hours. But it's been four days since they got my return and I still ain't seen a dime. So I called 'em up and they told me they gave me a gift card instead of my money back. What the heck? I didn't buy it with a gift card, why would they give me one? And their return policy don't say nothin' about that.

I had to deal with some real incompetent customer service rep who didn't seem to know what they were doin'. They finally said they'd refund my money in 7-10 business days. But who knows if that'll actually happen.

I ain't buyin' nothin' from Art.com ever again. If you want some art, go find a local store and buy it in person. Don't waste your time and money with these jokers.

Art.com Art.com Review: Poor Quality Frames and Customer Service

I bought two framed photos from Art.com a couple of months ago. When I got them, one of them was framed so poorly that I wouldn't even hang it on my wall. I contacted customer service, and they told me to keep it or donate it and that they would send me a new one. But when I received the replacement, it was a completely different photo with a different frame! I contacted customer service again, and they told me the same thing - keep it or donate it. Finally, after waiting for a month and a half, I received the two photos that I had originally ordered. They looked okay, but they were very light. I hung them up, but one of them fell off the wall after just three minutes because the screw wasn't placed properly in the wood. At that point, I was so frustrated that I just asked for a full refund, which they did give me. But it was such a hassle!

I took the posters to Michael's to get them framed properly. When they removed the frames and the "glass," I could see how cheaply framed the pictures were. The frames were made of cheap plywood that had been spray-painted, the backing was made of the thinnest paper imaginable, and the "glass" was actually acrylic! I ended up getting the two pictures framed by Michael's with quality products and framing for half the price that I paid for the original frames from Art.com.

Overall, I would not recommend Art.com. They used to be a great company, but it seems like they have gone downhill and are probably going out of business. If you want quality framed photos, go to Michael's or another framing store instead.

Art.com Art.com Review: Late Delivery and False Advertising of In-Stock Items

I was looking to buy a framed print for my loved one as a Christmas gift and I found the perfect one on art.com. I placed my order in November and was given a delivery date of December 21st. I was a bit worried that it was cutting it close to Christmas, so I reached out to one of their agents to confirm the delivery date. They assured me that I would receive it on time, so I felt relieved.

However, on December 22nd, a day after the expected delivery date, I received an email saying that the print would be delivered late. I was confused and frustrated, so I contacted another agent to find out what was going on. They told me that the item was not in stock and had been "re-ordered". I was taken aback by this news and wondered why they didn't notify me earlier about the delay.

To make matters worse, when I checked the website again, the print was listed as in stock with a delivery date of January 9th. I asked the agent if this date was accurate, but they gave me a vague response, saying that they couldn't guarantee delivery during the holiday season.

I was disappointed and felt like art.com had let me down. I had ordered the print four weeks in advance, so I didn't think it was unreasonable to expect it to arrive on time. It seemed like they didn't have the item in stock in the first place and were falsely advertising it as available for sale.

Overall, my experience with art.com was frustrating and disappointing. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and timely delivery of their orders.

Art.com Art.com's Poor Customer Service and Refund Policy - A Warning for International Buyers

I recently made a purchase from Art.com and unfortunately, my experience was not a positive one. I spent $262 on a framed artwork, but when it arrived, it was badly damaged in two corners. I reached out to Art.com to request a replacement frame or reimbursement for the cost of a new frame.

Initially, I was told that a full refund would be processed and that I would receive it within 5-10 business days. However, 47 business days later, I still had not received my refund. When I followed up with Art.com, I was informed that as of December 20, 2018, they no longer process international refunds.

I feel like I have been given the runaround and that Art.com has defrauded me. I was told one thing and then another, and now I am left without a refund or a replacement frame. As someone living in Australia, I would strongly advise against purchasing from Art.com.

The responses I received from Art.com were also frustrating. On January 9, 2018, I was told that I did not need to return the item and that a full refund would be processed within 7-10 business days. However, when I followed up on my refund, I was told that Art.com no longer processes international refunds.

Overall, my experience with Art.com was disappointing and I feel like I have been ripped off. I only made the purchase because they had a special print that I wanted, but now I regret my decision. I hope that Art.com will improve their customer service and be more transparent with their policies in the future.

Art.com Art.com Review: Beautiful Print, Disappointing Customer Service

I recently made a purchase from Art.com and I have to say, I was both excited and disappointed with my experience. I ordered a canvas print in a specific size to cover up a window in my RV. I was hoping to avoid putting up curtains and thought a beautiful picture would be a great alternative. When my order arrived on time, I was thrilled with how it looked. The colors were perfect and matched my decor perfectly. However, when I hung up the picture, I noticed that it was too short for the window. I had measured the window several times to ensure I got the right size, so I was surprised and disappointed to find that the print was not the size I had ordered.

I immediately contacted Art.com to request a return. I thought it would be a simple process, but I was wrong. Milo from the service department asked me to take a picture of the picture before they would accept the return. I was confused by this request and explained that I had already repackaged the item and it was in my car, ready to be returned. I didn't see the need to take a picture of something that was already packaged up and ready to go. I also pointed out that the reason for the return was that the measurements on their website were incorrect, so a picture wouldn't change anything.

Despite my explanation, Milo insisted on a picture and I refused. I asked to speak to a manager and threatened to file a complaint with Amazon. After several emails back and forth, I finally received a response saying that they would refund half the money now and the other half when they received the return package. I was frustrated with the whole process and still waiting for the return label. I don't think it's fair that I have to pay for the shipping back when the mistake was on their end.

Overall, I was disappointed with my experience with Art.com. While the print itself was beautiful, the customer service was lacking. I understand that mistakes happen, but I don't think it's fair to make the customer jump through hoops to rectify the situation. I hope that Art.com can improve their customer service in the future so that others don't have to go through the same frustrating experience that I did.

Art.com Art.com's Personalized Canvas Artwork: Vibrant Colors and Top-Notch Packaging

I gotta tell ya, I'm over the moon about the canvas artwork I got from Art.com. I had a real bad experience with another online vendor that took over 4 months (yep, you read that right) to get my order to me. So when I heard that Art.com was offering the chance to create your own canvas from your own photos, I jumped at the chance. And let me tell ya, I was not disappointed.

I placed my order on a Monday night and by Friday, all 7 of my canvases were at my front door. That's a turnaround of only 4 days! I was so relieved to finally get what I paid for. And the packaging was top-notch. The canvases were packed in a custom-fit, heavyweight, cardboard envelope that kept them safe and sound. Not a single corner was dented. You can tell that Art.com really cares about their customers and their products.

But the real kicker is the quality of the canvases themselves. The colors are so vibrant and the clarity is amazing. I never would have thought that an online service could take everyday photos and turn them into such beautiful, lasting memories on canvas. And I love the option of the black frame edging. It gives the artwork a really unique look that makes the colors, gradients, and contrast pop. I wish I could show you pictures of the packaging and the product, but you'll just have to check out my review on Google.

All in all, Art.com has got one happy customer here. I'll definitely be using their personalized canvas artwork option again in the future. Highly recommended and greatly appreciated. LR

Art.com Art.com's Shipping Nightmare: A Review of Smartpost

I recently ordered a print from Art.com for my new house on July 5th. I was excited to receive my package, but unfortunately, the shipping process was a bit of a nightmare. After a few days, I began tracking my package, but it seemed to take forever. Finally, after three weeks, I saw that my package should have been delivered, but it hadn't arrived. I was frustrated and confused, so I decided to call FedEx to see what was going on. That's when I learned that Art.com uses a service called Smartpost, which has its own set of problems. Apparently, FedEx ships packages part of the way and then dumps them off at a local post office. Smartpost has terrible reviews, and sometimes FedEx can dump thousands of packages at a post office at the same time, with little warning.

I contacted my local post office, but they couldn't locate my package. I was getting more and more annoyed, so I called Art.com to see if they could help me. The person on the phone insisted that the package must have been delivered to my home and that someone else must have picked it up. However, the tracking ONLY showed that the package had been delivered to the local post office. After a lot of back and forth, the person finally agreed to expedite shipping on a new poster. I was still frustrated, so I asked to speak with a manager. The manager refunded my shipping cost, which was a small consolation.

A few days later, I still hadn't received any follow-up email about my new order. I decided to call Art.com again, and that's when I found out that my order had shipped, but I was never notified or given a tracking number. I was relieved when the re-shipped poster finally arrived, but I was still annoyed that I had to go through all of that trouble.

After I left a one-star review, someone from Art.com named Ashley reached out to me and apologized for the botch. She was very helpful when I decided to refund the long-awaited print and find something else that I liked better. If it wasn't for Ashley's help, my review would have remained negative.

Overall, I think that Art.com and other retailers should reconsider using Smartpost. It's a terrible service that causes a lot of problems for customers. Before arguing with customers, they should learn how it works and try to be more understanding of their frustrations.

Art.com Disappointed with Art.com's Shipping and Customer Service: A Review

So, I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with my experience with Art.com. I ordered a print on December 1st, with a delivery date of December 11th. But, as of today, December 18th, I still haven't received it. I was really hoping to give it as a Christmas present, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

When I called customer service to inquire about the delay, I spoke with a really nice guy named Jack. He refunded my shipping costs and gave me the tracking information, which was helpful. But, unfortunately, the tracking information hasn't been updated since December 12th. It seems like the package is stuck at the border, but I can't be sure because the tracking number isn't recognized by any Canadian shipping companies.

When I called customer service again on December 18th, I spoke with a different guy who wasn't nearly as helpful. He seemed annoyed that I was bothering him with my questions and told me that shipping in Canada is just slow. I know that's not true, because I receive packages all the time and they usually arrive on time. This guy didn't offer any solutions or assistance, and I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed.

It turns out that Jack, the first guy I spoke with, was actually a manager. That explains why he was so helpful and accommodating. But this second guy was just rude and unhelpful. He didn't offer any solutions or even apologize for the delay.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll ever receive my package at this point. And even if I do, it won't be in time for Christmas. I'm really disappointed that I'll have to spend more money to buy another gift for the person I was planning to give this print to. It's not about the money, it's about the principle.

Overall, I'm really disappointed with my experience with Art.com. If I had known that their shipping was going to be so unreliable, I would have thought twice about placing my order. And if their customer service is going to be so unhelpful, I definitely won't be shopping with them again. It's a shame, because I was really excited about the print I ordered. But now, I'm just left feeling frustrated and disappointed.

Art.com Do not buy from this site - they do not refund and actually lied to me

I purchased a $262 framed artwork which arrived badly damaged in two corners. I contacted Art.com and asked for a new frame to be sent or the cost of a new frame to be reimbursed. On 9 January 2019 I was advised that a full refund was processed and I would receive it in 5 - 10 business days. Today, 47 business days later no refund. Art.com then advises as of 20 December 2018 they no longer process international refunds. I am told one thing then another and I feel defrauded. If you are in Australia do not buy from them. I only did as they had a special print. I have been ripped off. These are the two responses from art.com

On the 9 January 2018 - I received this

Dear Chris,

I am sorry that you are not completely satisfied with your purchase. You do not need to return item and you may keep or donate it as you see fit. I have processed full refund for your order and it will be credited to your PayPal account in 7-10 business days. If there is anything else I can do to assist you, please let me know.

Regards,
Tamera

Today's lie.

Thank you for getting back to us and our International business closed on December 20,2018. As of January 20,2019, we are no longer able to replace product and/or refund International orders.

Art.com Limbo

I ordered a canvas of a particular size to cover up a window in my RV. I didn't want to put up curtains and the picture would of been a good look. I received the order on time and was very excited about it cause it looked really good, perfect colors that match the decor. I hung up the picture but notice that it was too short for the window. I had measured the window several times cause I knew it would be hard to find something that long. I ordered a print that was advertised at 30"/40" what I got was 30"/36" the bottom of the window showed through, so I email Art.com to return the item. I thought it would be no problem and packaged it back up and hauled it to the car while I wait for the return label. Well. Milo from the service dept wanted me to take a picture of the picture before they accept the return, I was puzzled, and wrote back that I had already repackaged and the huge package is already in my car, I was not about to open it back up to snap a picture!(and what would be the reason for that?)
I told him that it's the same picture that they send and the reason is the measurements are wrong on their website. Long story short. I refuse to take a picture and wanted a free return label. They wanted me to jump through hoops and gave me the run around again after severalemails. I told Milo I wanted to speak to the manager and that I will file a complaint with Amazon.the last email I receive today was that he will refund half the money and the other half when they receive the return package. What a joke. All that back and forth, and I'm still waiting for the return label, cause I'm not about to pay for the shipping back.

Art.com Art.com's Website is a Nightmare: Stay Away from this Buggy Company

So, I signed up for Art.com, and then I wanted to change some stuff in my profile. I tried to get to my customer profile and manage my account, but my browser said it couldn't open the page. I tried different browsers, but it was the same thing. I was like, "What the heck?!" So, I contacted customer support, and they were like, "We can't get it to work either." They said they'd send it to tech support and I should wait 72 business hours. They said they wouldn't contact me, but I should try to get into my account after 72 hours. I was like, "Okay, I guess." But then I read some other bad reviews, and I was like, "No way, Jose!" I decided to close my account and not do business with Art.com. But I can't get to my customer profile to close my account! This is so bad! I recommend you don't open an account and stay away from this company and its buggy website. It's just not worth the hassle, you know?

Art.com Art.com Review: Mixed Experience with Framed Prints & Customer Service

I recently ordered a couple of prints from Art.com, specifically two Mondrian prints that were supposed to be framed in a Metropolitan frame. However, when my order arrived, I noticed that one of the prints was not in the correct frame, even though the packing slip indicated that it was.

I had to take a picture of the print in the wrong frame and let Art.com know whether I wanted a replacement or a refund. Since I wanted the prints to be a grouping and the red trim in the frame complemented the colors in the prints so well, I opted for a replacement. However, I received an email from Art.com stating that they were out of stock on "certain components of the item" and couldn't guarantee shipment for another week. They asked me to let them know whether I wanted to wait or cancel my order. I decided to wait and see what happens next.

Overall, my experience with Art.com was a bit frustrating. If you're ordering multiple items, it's best not to assume that they'll all be what you want or that you'll get a replacement very soon if something goes wrong. However, I appreciate that Art.com gave me the option to choose between a replacement or a refund and that they informed me about the delay in shipment.

In conclusion, while my experience with Art.com wasn't perfect, I'm still willing to give them another chance in the future. I hope that they can improve their quality control and customer service to ensure that their customers receive the products they ordered in a timely manner.

Art.com Disappointing Experience with Art.com: Wrong Order, Poor Customer Service, and No Resolution

So, I got this gift certificate for my birthday to buy some art for my house. I was pretty excited about it because I'm having a housewarming party and I wanted to have something nice to show off in my entranceway. I went to Art.com and started browsing their selection. It took me almost two hours to find something I liked, but I finally did. I went to place my order and there was a glitch in their site. I couldn't complete the order, so I had to go through their chat to speak to an employee to have them place it for me. It was a bit of a hassle, but I got it done. I was told it would be here in time for my party.

But, when it finally arrived, it was the wrong thing! I was so disappointed. I called customer service and was on the phone for over 30 minutes. They told me that the correct piece I wanted was no longer in stock, so there was nothing they could do for me. I was so frustrated. They were rude and unapologetic, and they had no resolution to fix the problem. I couldn't believe it. I was left with a piece of art I didn't want and a gift card I didn't want to use.

Overall, I was really disappointed with my experience with Art.com. It's a poorly run business, and the people who run it don't seem to care about their customers. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Art.com Disappointing Customer Service Experience with Art.com: A Review

I recently made a purchase on Art.com and I must say, I was not impressed with their customer service. I ordered a total of 8 framed artworks, which cost me around $700. Out of these, five of them were supposed to be hung together as a grouping, all with the same frame. However, when I received the package, I noticed that one of the frames had significant damage.

I immediately contacted Art.com through email and phone calls, but it took me five emails and 3 phone calls to finally get them to agree to replace the damaged frame. I had to send them a picture of the damage before they agreed to replace it. However, my relief was short-lived as I received another email from them stating that the print was no longer available and they were issuing a refund.

The problem with this was that the print was not damaged, only the frame was. I tried to explain this to them, but they were unwilling to let me send the artwork back to them so they could reframe it or to send me framing materials so I could have it framed locally at my own expense. This meant that my plans to hang all five items in a grouping with the same frames could not be achieved.

I was disappointed with Art.com's lack of willingness to help me out in this situation. They could have been more helpful and accommodating, but I guess they are not that kind of business. I will not be purchasing from them again in the future.

Art.com Art.com's Poor Customer Service and Communication: A Disappointing Experience

I recently made a purchase from Art.com and was informed that my order would be delivered in exactly one month. I was eagerly looking forward to receiving my piece and kept checking the status of my order. However, the status never went beyond the production stage. I tried using the Live Chat option on the website multiple times, but unfortunately, I was never given a straight answer. The customer service representatives told me that my piece was somewhere in the warehouse, but they did not know why it was not being shipped. They also had no idea when it would ship or even arrive.

After several attempts to get a clear answer, a supervisor emailed me and informed me that he had opened an investigation on my order to find out why it wasn't being shipped. The next day, I received a generic email telling me that the item was out of stock. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated as it had been over a month since I placed my order. I had ordered the piece with plenty of time before I needed it, but now I have nothing.

I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience with Art.com. It really feels like one big scam. I will never use this site again and would not recommend it to anyone. It is unacceptable to keep customers waiting for so long without any clear explanation or resolution. I hope that Art.com takes steps to improve their customer service and communication in the future.

Art.com Terrible Experience with Art.com: Stay Away from this Company

Art.com is a company that I would not recommend to anyone. I had a terrible experience with them when I placed an order online. I was charged immediately after placing my order, but I never received a confirmation email or receipt. I was worried that something had gone wrong, so I called the company. I spent three days on the phone with multiple representatives, but they all said that I never placed an order and that I was not even in their system. I was shocked because they had already charged my credit card!

Their representatives were not helpful at all. They hung up on me twice, and many others failed to contact me via email like they promised. They always said that they had their manager looking into it, but I never heard back. It was frustrating because I had already paid for my order, but they were not going to ship it to me.

It took days of contacting the company and my bank to get my money back. It was a hassle, and I would not want anyone else to go through what I did. I was disappointed because I was excited to receive the posters I ordered, but it turned out to be a waste of time and money.

In conclusion, I would advise anyone to stay away from Art.com. They have terrible customer service, and they do not deliver what they promise. It was a frustrating experience, and I would not want anyone else to go through what I did.

Art.com Disappointing Experience with Art.com: Long Wait, Poor Customer Support, and Communication Issues

I had a really long wait for my order from art.com, it took more than 2 weeks to arrive. I was getting a bit worried after the estimated delivery date had passed, so I tried to get in touch with their support team through live chat. Unfortunately, the person I spoke to was not very helpful at all. They were pretty rude and didn't seem to know much about what was going on with my order. They just gave me some general answers that didn't really help me at all.

One of the things they told me was that my PayPal payment hadn't gone through. But when I checked, I could see that it actually had. So I went back to art.com to let them know, and then they told me that my order had been put on hold for some kind of verification reasons. I was a bit annoyed that they hadn't let me know about this earlier, because I had been waiting for so long already.

To make matters worse, during this time I had to change the delivery address for my order. I asked if it was possible to update the address, but they said no. I didn't really understand why, since my order hadn't even been shipped yet. But they didn't give me any explanation.

This was my first time ordering from art.com, and I have to say I'm not very impressed. I still haven't received my order, and I'm not sure if I'll be ordering from them again in the future. It's just too messy and frustrating to deal with all these issues. I think they need to do a better job of communicating with their customers and making sure everything runs smoothly.

Art.com Disappointing Experience with Art.com: Delayed Shipping, Broken Art, and Poor Customer Service

I bought a piece of art from Art.com on April 17 and paid extra for shipping to get it in a week because I was moving out of state. But I didn't get any notification that the piece broke and would need to be reshipped, which delayed when I would receive it. When I called, they said it would ship immediately and still make my deadline... but it didn't. I moved and called again, but the only solution they gave me was to cancel my order and re-order it at full cost (I had previously used a coupon).

After 6 weeks and nearly 10 attempts at trying to resolve the issue with the same answer being, "it will ship in 24 hours", it never shipped. When I asked for a full refund on June 1, Martin said that was not possible... I asked to speak to a supervisor and finally got a brief email stating they would refund me in 5-7 business days... no apology, nothing!

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with Art.com. I've had better experiences with other companies like minted and desenio. This was the worst experience I've had with any company. I wouldn't recommend Art.com to anyone.

Art.com Art.com Review: Buyer Beware of Incompetent Fabricators and No Service Customer Service

Art.com is a big biz that don't pay attention to what they're shipping. I ordered eight vintage travel posters mounted on a board hanger, ALL IN THE SAME SIZE, for decor in a furnished rental home. They sent only TWO of the correct size. The Others were smaller, or much smaller, and two were not even mounted, just posters rolled up in boxes. When I called they instructed me to take pictures of the wrong ones! They were all wrong! I still do not have an authorization to return. This order was around $550. Buyer beware, they have a slick website but their fabricators are idiots and the customer No Service people have no intention of letting you return anything EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR MISTAKE. Do not order from this company unless you're willing to take a chance that one of the idiots who work there will do something right. See below, a rolled up poster on the left compared to the large mounted one they were supposed to ship. And that's one of six incorrect items.

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience with Art.com. I was looking to spruce up my furnished rental home with some vintage travel posters, and I thought I hit the jackpot when I found Art.com's website. They had a great selection and the prices seemed reasonable, so I placed an order for eight posters mounted on board hangers, all in the same size.

But when the package arrived, I was in for a rude awakening. Only two of the posters were the correct size - the others were smaller, or much smaller, and two weren't even mounted at all, just rolled up in boxes. I was pretty ticked off, so I called Art.com's customer service line to try and get it sorted out.

But instead of being helpful, the customer service rep told me to take pictures of the wrong posters. Um, excuse me? They were ALL wrong! And to make matters worse, I still haven't received authorization to return the incorrect items. This was a pretty pricey order, too - around $550 - so needless to say, I'm pretty upset.

I mean, I get that mistakes happen, but this is just ridiculous. Art.com has a slick website, but their fabricators clearly don't know what they're doing, and the customer service people are no help at all. I wouldn't recommend ordering from this company unless you're willing to take a chance that they'll actually get your order right. And trust me, based on my experience, that's a pretty big gamble.

I've included a photo below so you can see what I'm talking about. The poster on the left is one of the incorrect ones - it was supposed to be mounted on a board hanger like the one on the right. And that's just one of six incorrect items I received. So yeah, buyer beware.

Art.com Terrible Customer Service and Unreliable Delivery from Art.com

I had a really bad experience with Art.com. I ordered something with overnight shipping, and they said it would be delivered by 12/24. But when I checked in on 12/22, I saw that it was still in production. They told me it would ship on 12/24 and arrive in 1-2 days. I had to argue with them to get them to promise delivery on 12/24. But then on 12/23, they told me that the frame was out of stock and wouldn't arrive in time. I had to fight with them again to get them to put a rush on it with their production department. They finally agreed, but still wouldn't guarantee delivery. I had to keep checking back to make sure it shipped out that day. Their customer service was terrible and completely unreliable. They could have put in a rush with production from the start instead of making me fight with them for 1.5 hours. It was a huge waste of time. I was planning to order more from them, but I will never order from them again or recommend them to anyone.

Art.com horrible customer service

This company is a joke.
I would like to eventually got my items I ordered two months ago. What the heck is going on? But my complaint has to do with their support team.
I contacted customer service several times hoping to talk to at least one adequate and polite person, but each time was failed. All of your employees are not customer focused, they are rude and obnoxious. Maybe you should teach them how to talk to customers before dealing with us. You know, as a person who spends money on your items I don't want to be treated like a crap and like I owe something to you. No need to show me that you do me a favor by picking up the phone. Your employees get their money for being helpful and nice, not for being stupid rude jerks.

My experience has been that it is extremely difficult to get in touch with chat. Entering order numbers into the return service does not work either. Not a happy camper regards customer contact services.
