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.

Send junk products without authorization, then demand payment Ordered a large frame for $70, it arrived broken and was of very poor quality. I wrote a review stating this, did not request or initiate a replacement. The company sent me one anyway, also terrible, also broken. I told them this one also arrived broken but made it clear I was only giving feedback. They sent a THIRD anyway and are now threatening to charge me for the extra frames they decided to send and now want back. I just want them to leave me alone, but they're ignoring that part.

Yes, there are delays during pandemic times! Dick Blick carries a huge range of brands. I only get to visit the Kansas City store when I travel and set aside an hour to go up and down each aisle and look at everything. So fun! Most of the time I order online. For the reviewers saying shipping is slow or merch is not complete during the pandemic, please raise your awareness!!! DB relies on manufacturers to have staff AND materials available to create the products that DB sells and you want to buy. In pandemic times, manufacturers are not getting what they need, so you have to be patient!

I ordered some premium stretcher and… I ordered some premium stretcher and crossbars from Blicks and they emailed me because my order did not add up. Come to find out I ordered the wrong size crossbars for my order and they caught it, and corrected it. Their emails to me where prompt, within the day, and I really appreciate the extra help they gave me on my questions and my order.

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.
