I rarely leave reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience. Unfortunately, I had a serious issue with the delivery of this order. Although I entered my address correctly, the state was somehow marked as wrong. As soon as I noticed the issue, I contacted the company to try to fix it. This is where the experience became very disappointing. Customer service was extremely unhelpful. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, they repeatedly told me to contact the delivery company myself, which I did three separate times. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with the delivery company, and they confirmed they made a note on the order and would attempt a second delivery. I patiently waited, but the order never even left the warehouse. At that point, I contacted customer service again and explained everything clearly. I also mentioned that the order was meant to be a birthday present for my husband and that it did not arrive in time. Since I was about to leave the country for the holidays and still had not received the product, I politely asked for a refund. I was told that it was entirely my fault and that no refund would be issued. To make matters worse, after I sent a follow-up email, I was never contacted again and did not receive any response. It has now been 42 days since I placed my order, and I have not received neither the product nor a refund. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer support has been extremely frustrating. Mistakes can happen, but how they are handled makes all the difference, and this experience fell far below expectations. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this company.

Hi, sorry about this experience. We sent you an email on December 17 asking you to provide a new delivery address for reshipment, but we haven’t received a response.

Ordered a Christmas present from Paint by Canvas, in early December as website guaranteed delivery would be in time for Christmas. However they failed, I had to buy something else and they have refused to refund me. Everything is made and shipped from China and tracking shows it take a long time to get out of the country. Checking back now, I see others have had the same problem on previous Christmases, I'm not the first. Next time I will use a service that offers 48hr delivery, as it indicates production is in country.

Hi, We’re sorry for the frustration this caused. We understand how disappointing it is when a Christmas gift doesn’t arrive as expected. We want to clarify that for custom-made products we never guarantee a fixed delivery date. We provide an estimated delivery timeframe, and unfortunately during the Christmas period that estimate did not hold due to higher-than-expected demand and production volume. We regret that this affected your order and your plans. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Wish i had seen these reviews before purchasing. Ordered a custom canvas prior to christmas with delivery expected for before christmas as a gift. It has not arrived. Was unable to give my mum a gift because of this. Unable to contact the company. No update on the tracking to say when or if i will recieve it. Seems from the reviews this is a scam.

Hi, We’re very sorry for the disappointment this has caused, especially as this was meant to be a Christmas gift for your mum. We understand how upsetting that situation is. We want to be clear that we are not a scam. Every single order is produced and delivered. Orders placed close to Christmas experienced longer-than-estimated delivery times due to an unexpected demand peak, and we informed affected customers about this by email at the time. The temporary backlog has now been cleared, deliveries are running normally again, and we’ve adjusted our processes so we’re better prepared for future seasonal spikes. We truly regret that your experience didn’t reflect the level of service we aim to provide. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Made an order 11th Dec 25. Christmas present, still hasn’t arrived. Useless company. Have messaged to request an update and have yet to receive a reply.

I ordered on instagram. It said order today to receive by the 20th December. It is now the 3rd of January and I still haven’t received it. I ordered this as something to do with my niece over Christmas. If they can’t deliver on time they shouldn’t say they can. I contacted them and they never bothered to get back to me. Wasted my money on an activity I couldn’t do. Will never order from here again.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We’ve never had a campaign promising delivery by December 20. We did have a last order date for express shipping to arrive before Christmas. Our products also can’t be ordered via Instagram, so we’re not sure if this review was left for the correct company.

I ordered a custom Paint by Canvas kit on December 11th, specifically because the website prominently advertised delivery in time for Christmas. This was the entire reason I chose this company. The product was meant to be a meaningful Christmas gift for close friends who had recently lost their dog—something thoughtful and personal in place of a traditional present. The projected delivery date showed it would arrive the week before Christmas, which felt reasonable given the order date and the company’s own stated timeline. These kits are not inexpensive, but I was willing to pay a premium based on the promised turnaround. Fast forward to January 1st, and the order still hasn’t arrived. The new estimated delivery date is January 6th, well after Christmas. This completely defeated the purpose of the gift and created an awkward situation during the holiday gift exchange. To avoid embarrassment, I had to rush out and purchase another not-cheap replacement gift and explain that “another gift was still coming.” What makes this more frustrating: • The shipping estimate was the primary driver behind my purchase. • The company appears to have been overconfident—or inaccurate—about fulfillment timelines during a peak holiday season. • There is a strict no-refund policy on custom orders, which left me feeling trapped once it became obvious the promised delivery window would be missed. • As of writing this review, I still don’t know what the product quality is, so I can’t even evaluate whether the end result will justify the wait. I understand that this may be a small business, but that makes accurate expectation-setting even more important, not less. Advertising Christmas delivery and then missing it by weeks crosses into what feels like a bait-and-switch, whether intentional or not. If you choose to order from Paint by Canvas, do not trust the delivery estimates shown on their site. Assume it will take significantly longer—especially if the timing matters—and plan accordingly.

Hi, We’re genuinely sorry that the estimated delivery timeframe did not hold in your case and that this affected a gift that was important to you. We understand how frustrating and disappointing that situation is, especially around Christmas. We’ve been operating for over four years, and until this season our delivery estimates have held almost without exception. This time, an unexpectedly high demand peak just before the holidays exceeded our production capacity, and we did not react quickly enough to adjust those estimates. That responsibility is entirely on us. The delays were temporary, deliveries are now back to normal, and we are much better prepared for the next season. We continue to stand fully behind our product and are confident you’ll appreciate the quality once it’s in your hands. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Awful, ordered a turtle paint by canvas on 15th December intended as aa christmas present. New years eve it still hasnt arrived. Will be charging back on credit card. Ridiculous given the item is sold by the Range so its not as if its a bespoke item
