PaintVibe.com - Paint By NumbersReviews of paintbynumbers.shop

It's an absolutely terrible product. My son and me both started kits. My son did the mother and baby elephant whilst I did the row of houses. The numbers are so small both of us have been struggling. I do understand that if you pay peanuts you get monkeys but I didn't expect it would turn into a stressful exercise. I am sure it's meant to be a creative calming activity but it was nothing like that. Both of us were tearing our hair out by day 4 and are on the verge of giving up. If anyone gave me a free Aldi paint by numbers kit I will now think they hated me! I wouldn't do another one. I am considered to be a reasonable artist otherwise. People have said there's not enough paint but that was not a problem we had. There is still plenty left in the tubs. Never Again!

Ordered a kit from paintvibe.com over 3 weeks ago, it said that it should arrive within 14 days but have not received anything. Support said they would look into it, however I heard nothing until I wrote again a week later. Support then immediately informed me that they could not ship to my country and refunded the order. Points for the fast reply the second time + the refund, but communication could have been a lot faster and it was frustrating to wait.

Took forever to deliver- never got back to my emails in a timely manner. Was happy with the product when it finally showed up.

I was told that I would get my order from 12-28 days and I've been waiting more than 28 days now. I have not had a shipping status for over 2 weeks now. I have tried contacting them and the customer service was super nice but not very helpful. I asked what the status of my order was and all they could say was that I should not worry because it will get there soon. I just want to know where my kit is and if it got lost I want my money back.

I ran out of several colors and contacted them regarding it. They sent me and email saying they did send enough colors and they could not send more. All they would do was give me a discount on a reorder which also would not have had enough of certain paints. Bad customer service and duh - I never would have contacted them if they actually did send enough paint.

Would I recommend @paintbynumbers_shop? Sadly not :( The first kit I bought from them was a complete disaster. The colors looked nothing like the reference photo, and I ended up discontinuing it after much hassle painting enough of it to tell it wasn't going to look anything like the reference photo :( It was a complete waste of money :( The second kit I bought from them was arguably better. Below is my review of it: Pros: The brushes and paint are of good quality, and the colors of the PBN were lush. The frame is included and comes assembled, which saves you the trouble of assembling one yourself. Cons: First of all, their kits are quite expensive, compared to other PBN websites. Secondly, the colors are much darker than the reference, and most of the lighter colors require three to four layers to cover the numbers and lines. As a result, I ran out of several of the colors, and when I wrote them about it, I got a sassy "No, of course we always make sure there's enough paint", making it sound like I was being ridiculous for even asking if I could buy more paint for my painting :( I ended up mixing colors myself out of the remaining other colors, rather than buy a whole new kit like they suggested I should to get more paint (waste of materials much?). All in all, my experience with the kits - and the website in general - was far from a success (however great the finished painting did indeed turn out) :(

Original (10/31) Review: I placed an order on 8/28. I still have not received anything as of 10/31.. Asked what was going on 9/11. Heard back the following day that they are waiting for stock, will take 3-4 weeks (10/9). I checked back again 10/23 to ask what is going on. The following day I was told via email "stock has arrived, we are now sending out! Here is your tracking number:" Exactly one week has passed since then. Nothing has arrived. When I use the tracking number on their site I get "Tracking Not Found." I am starting to wonder if this is a scam rather than just poor logistics and communication on shipping & lead times. Without a phone number to call someone, and the support emails that are written by someone that spells & punctuates like they are working in a troll farm... Updated 11/19: The painting kits did arrive on 11/14. The products look good, and late is better than never I guess. The shipping/stocking delays and lack of any updates (until after repeated inquiries) had me concerned that I had been ripped off. I can understand delays due to stock, but I expect more in terms of communication in cases like this.
