Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 410 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. However, many customers report significant issues with their orders, frequently experiencing long delays or never receiving their items, with some orders disappearing from accounts. People often struggle to get a response from customer service, receiving automated replies or no follow-up after initial contact. This leads to widespread dissatisfaction regarding communication and the lack of resolution for unfulfilled orders and refund requests. Conversely, a small portion of people felt that the products were of high quality and unique, finding them innovative and inspiring for artistic creation. A few other people also felt that customer service was helpful and responsive, with some even praising quick delivery and personal attention.

The worst company I have ever come…

The worst company I have ever come across, I have waited 10 weeks for my order, I have contacted Culture Hustle and Stewart Semple so many times and have got absolutely no proper answers to when I will receive my goods or how to get a refund! DO NOT USE!
Stuart Semple Has taken my money and not fulfilled the order and will not give me a refund.

Good customer service

There was something going on with shipping, but the seller was super cool about it and made the effort to check on it for me. So customer service is top notch.

Product never shipped

Ordered some paint and ink May 2025, received the initial email giving the approximate shipping time. When that passed I got an email saying there was a delay please allow 3 weeks. That has also passed. I emailed customer service for an update and was told my request was being prioritized. No update, no product.

Order at your own risk.

Order at your own risk.

I placed an order that sat in “making” for over two months with no real updates. The shipping information on their site is vague and misleading — it suggests quick turnaround but quietly allows for months-long delays.

I had to file a credit card dispute to get my money back.

After I clearly stated I did not want the order, they shipped it anyway — which triggered import fees from UPS that I then had to refuse and deal with.

Customer service only responded after the chargeback was filed, and even then, nothing was actually resolved.

The whole experience felt disorganized and frustrating. I would not order from them again.

Ordered over €100 on small pots of paint last Oct for my son’s Christmas present, it’s April now, still hasn’t arrived, I’ve sent tons of emails looking for either order or refund and get the same response every time yet nothing is ever resolved. Scam

I will start by saying I really enjoy…

I will start by saying I really enjoy using the various paints from culture hustle and was an ongoing repeat customer. I was always ok with the long shipping times. I made a purchase on April 25 2025 for just over $100.00 and patiently waited. After 8 months I notified culture hustle I still hadn't received my order. I received a response apologizing and that they would look into it and get back to me ASAP. I wrote again many weeks later asking for an immediate resolution and again received a response thanking me for my patience and they would rectify the situation ASAP. Months have passed with no resolution and it is now two weeks shy of one year when I placed my order. The card i used is no longer good not that I expect a refund at this point. Now, assuming the product is still a good one you need to decide if you can afford to randomly give away the money you use to make purchases if you wish to do business with them. I no longer will. Are the purveyors incompetent? Theives? Hard to say... all i know is I am out 100 bucks.

No communication whatsoever

No communication whatsoever, I don’t mind extended wait times but just say something, don’t leave it 7+ weeks and countless unanswered emails. The product quality is great, I’ve never had issues with the product it’s just the lack of customer service, an ai automated email telling you not to send multiple emails after you’ve been ignored for 7 weeks is infuriating.

Great products and packaging ( each very different with unique look. I can not give more stars because I had to wait 4 months to get my order. Emails do get a reply but not from a real person and is same answer to different questions. I send in a credit card refund application and than an email came informing the goods had shipped (?) so now I have the goods. One sticker was upside down, but hey, that must be the handwork which I do love and appreciate. Can not wait to use the paint. Thank you
