I sent in art 11-12 to get back in time for Christmas. Still no word on it being done by December 14, and when I asked customer service they just said "sorry we aren't meeting our normal standards". I asked for it to be refunded and sent back. I only hope to get it in time to gift (frameless) and undamaged.

If you have any kind of deadline for your framing DO NOT USE FRAMEBRIDGE
I had very high hopes for using Framebridge for my artwork- my original delivery date was to be Nov 8/21. However, after placing my order , I received a follow-up that showed an image of how my artwork was going to look once framed. I noticed that not only was the mat color not what I had ordered but the area around the mat was also incorrect ( I had a notation on my order which was not followed and they acknowledge as much) . I called and the customer service reps made all the changes and then said I would have a new delivery date of Nov 11. There was no mention that ship dates were not relevant, so I took the customer agent at her word.
When I called back a week later to see if my order was in fact being shipped, they informed me that the framing of my artwork had only just begun and that I would not have a ship date until Nov 30th! I was also told that it wasn’t even a guarantee . In fact, they would be unable to guarantee any ship date at all.
I was put off by, Joshua's lack of empathy for the dilemma I had been put in ( this was a wedding gift and my deadline was the weekend of the 13th which of course was missed.
At this point I feel stuck - I’d like to cancel the order but worry they may lose my artwork like so many others have experienced here. I wish I’d checked them out before I ordered frankly.
I’ll just have to wait and see how they turn up or if they turn up at a reasonable timeframe.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback here and on other platforms.
As we've said in those spots as well, we apologize that your order took longer than expected. All orders with art that is shipped to us take between 10 - 21 days to complete, and given our current volume, we definitely surpassed that. We are so sorry.
We understand that these were gifts. And not only that, the frames also did not match the way you wanted them to. With our 100% Happiness Guarantee, we want to ensure you get what you want, which is at this time a refund.
We understand that you have received a full refund on this order and that you do not want to send the pieces back at this time to be reframed. If you (or your recipients) change your mind, please know we are happy to reframe these pieces at no additional cost.
Again, we are very sorry that this order experience was not as seamless as we like to provide. We would love to ensure you and your recipients are completely satisfied with these frames. We hope we do have the opportunity in the future to fix these frames for you.

Is it possible to give zero stars?
Is it possible to give zero stars?! Not only did they lose my picture, but they also had me send the receipt for the missing item and under their non-existent "Art Care Guarantee", they said they would reimburse me for the lost item. They have my address and keep trying to tell me that it has been returned. I believe this is fraud and that those nice customer service people are just covering for what they know is bad quality, bad service and a company that should not be in business. Buyer Beware!
And as for the response I received - this seems typical of most of these companies. They spend more time marketing and publicly fixing their image than actually fixing the issue. To date, I have not heard from anyone at Framebridge.

Second Chance = BIG MISTAKE
I had already sworn off using Framebridge when they botched my framing order not once, but twice. But they really do have nice customer service reps...and one reached out to apologize and give me a 25% off coupon for my next order. I needed to send a wedding gift out of state, and decided to take the risk and try them again with the 25% off coupon. BIG MISTAKE. This time their shipping box and shipping service (UPS) failed to protect my original artwork. The items arrived bent/creased. They will still frame the art and send it to our newlywed friends, but I have asked for a full refund. They gave me my money back, but I will NEVER EVER use their service again. Too risky after multiple failures. I wish those of you who do continue to use this service the best of luck with your art and photos.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review and provide this feedback. We cannot apologize enough for letting you down here so badly, especially since your artwork was intended as a special wedding gift. That’s definitely unacceptable, and this is not the kind of Framebridge experience we want to foster. We're currently investigating this, and we look forward to hearing back from you via email and making this right ASAP. We’re here to help in any way we can.

Continuation of last review
Continuation of last review. I have been waiting a month now to receive a reimbursement for my destroyed art work. After inquiring today it turns out there was "a glitch" in their system, which no one bothered to follow up on. So will I get reimbursed? Who knows? Maybe the system will glitch again

Do not use them
Do not use them! And don’t trust the reviews on their website! They will hide the bad reviews and you will never see the truth. They don’t care about the art and the end product, they just put frame around it like a machine. So the end product is funny, huge blank boarder around the art not being covered, wrong art(a preview from phone, you can see fingers in the picture) was being used instead of the real art, huge matting threw off the proportion, no one care and ask if it is right before sending it out. And even you addressed the issue to customer care, they will keep sending the wrong item in the rest of the order. Almost feel like the operation team and customer service never talk to each other. And also, they said they work mon to sun but it is not true! There would be no one on line in the weekend for sure, and sometimes you can’t find anyone on Thursday!

They have the WORST customer service
They have the WORST customer service. I wish I didn't trust them to get my order in time so that I could surprise my boyfriend with a sentimental Valentine's Gift. When I asked several times about my order, I received nothing but roadblocks and terrible excuses. They don't even try to help you or follow back up when requested. I ordered my design in January, and somehow they still weren't able to do anything they could to help me expedite my order to receiving it on time. DO NOT BOTHER USING THIS COMPANY if you have a special gift to send. It won't get done.

Also, we apologize for just getting to this review—we were unaware of this platform until now. In the event your order has not been fixed, please share your information with us. We know it cannot solve the fact that it was a gift for Valentine's Day, but we'd like to make this or a future order right for you.

DO NOT USE-they lost my art!
DO NOT order from FRAMEBRIDGE ever to frame your precious memories!!! I sent in 4 pieces of art that my Grandmother made 90 years ago. Somehow, they LOST 2 of them, even though I sent them all in together, in the same box. Their business is to frame peoples memories. That's what they do. That's it. They send you a box, you send them your art, they frame it and send it back to you. How does this even happen??? They strung me along, saying they were doing everything they could to find them, including checking video footage in their factory, for 2 months. I am heartbroken. Apparently this has happened to many others. I wish I had recourse, but without an appraisal or proof of value, which, of course, is priceless to me, they only guarantee lost pieces of art for $300. So, I'm spreading the word. DON'T USE FRAMEBRIDGE.
