They ship via the slowest possible… They ship via the slowest possible method, despite charging for shipping. Their shipping page makes it look like they ship via FedEx Home. Nope, SmartPost which is absolutely the worst method. The likelihood of a package being lost or delayed for weeks is very high. Don’t order any that you actually need from here.

Blick's Art Supplies is fabulous! Unfortunately there is no Dick Blick's store near me, so I work with them via online orders. I've been ordering from them for almost six years and found them consistently excellent in price, quality of product, and superb customer service. After dozens of orders I've had exactly ONE order that wasn't correct--and that one was immediately fixed when I contacted customer service. Blick's has some of the best online customer service out there. It's my go-to place for art supplies of all kinds.

Dick Blick uses Fedex Dick Blick uses Fedex. Fedex fails to deliver packages to my address, although UPS delivers every day. When told Dick Blick was told my order had been delayed several days beyond its stated delivery date, Dick Blick was unconcerned. Each morning, I'm told the order is on the truck. Each afternoon, I'm told that the order is delayed due to 'operational issues'. (Strangely, Fedex changes this to 'unable to deliver' later.) I will find another online art store that cares about their customers.

On one hand Blick Art On one hand Blick Art ( fka Utrecht) can be super pricey but they have EVERYTHING. I especially love to go into the brick and mortar store because they employee very knowledgeable staff. Recently I wanted to try water based oil paints for painting when traveling. They were able to show me what I needed to get started and saved me money by showing me the lower cost solvents from other brands. I'm very happy with these purchases! (also it's funny that I had to edit my review b/c the original name of this store is D1ck Blick and D1ck is a "inappropriate word" according to TrustPilot, lol!)

Great store with great prices, but be a smart shopper! Great place to find paint brands that other competitors do not carry. Make sure to shop around when you are looking at brushes/brush cleaning supplies however. On several instances I have found that Cheap Joe's (even Amazon) offers hefty discounts for the same product.
