Quick Response and Fix

Team members like Franco make the bumps in the life of a creator easy to overcome. I didn't expect such a quick response or fix to my problem, but he handled it like the professional he is. Thank you!

Good interactive communication.

The person concern communicated very quickly
and understood my previous relationship with Storyblocks. He listened and was in a position to offer
good advice. Franco did a good job on behalf of Storyblocks and also on my behalf.
Job well done!

Storyblocks: Terrific customer service and products

Storyblocks offers terrific products that I have used in my creations for several years - going back to when it was GraphicStock.

This week, I was also given terrific customer service following an issue with my payment. They addressed it in a quick manner. I'm a very happy customer!

After I had some downloading issues

After I had some downloading issues, which was very frustrating. 

One of Storyblock´s marketing managers contacted me, and he suggested how to fix the video and what program should be downloaded to play the video on my desktop.

He solved the problem and gave generously two additional video downloads to make it up for the inconvenience. I thank him for contacting and solving the downloading issue.

Extremely Disappointing Experience with Storyblocks

I had a very frustrating experience trying to access the promotional plan with Storyblocks. I spent three days working through various issues and contacting their support team, only to be given repetitive and unhelpful responses. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:

I first reached out on January 15 to change my membership, and I clearly explained that I wanted to switch to the discounted "Unlimited Video" plan. However, when I tried to claim the offer, I kept receiving an error message stating there was an issue with my payment information. Despite updating my card and clearing the cache multiple times, the issue persisted. Support kept suggesting I try different browsers and clear my cookies, but nothing worked.

After two days of back-and-forth, the support team confirmed my new card was updated, but the problem wasn’t resolved. They suggested I manually renew my subscription, but by that time, my opportunity to access the promotional rate had expired.

This whole experience was a huge waste of time. It was very disappointing to miss out on the offer after dealing with these technical issues for so long. The lack of urgency or helpful solutions from customer support made the situation even worse. I expected better from a well-known platform like Storyblocks.

Would not recommend based on this experience.

Hey there Luan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experience. I want to sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you faced. Your experience is not reflective of the service we strive to provide, and I deeply regret that we fell short in meeting your expectations.

I understand how disheartening it must have been to spend multiple days troubleshooting payment issues and contacting our support team without finding a resolution. It's clear that the repetitive advice you received, coupled with the missed promotional opportunity, compounded your frustration.

We take situations like this very seriously, and I’ve shared your experience with our support and technical teams to identify areas where we can improve. Specifically, we are looking into:

- The error messages related to payment updates and why they persisted despite your efforts.
- The communication gaps that led to repetitive responses rather than tailored solutions.

While I know we can’t undo your experience, we would like to make this right. Please contact support@storyblocks.com or chat with us directly on the site.

Your feedback helps us improve, and I appreciate your patience as we work to ensure no other customer has a similar experience. If there’s anything else we can do to regain your trust, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

It's a Scam

These guys are running a scam in the name of unlimited downloads. If you have purchased individual accounts under company email address, they will threaten you to sign up $20K annual package else you are at risk. We have tons of other subscriptions and using them perfectly. Paid these guys for a whole year and they disabled our account within a week saying there are 20+ people using it since November 2024. We purchased the account in December, how can we use it in November? Moreover, I only have 3 PCs, how can I use on 20 devices? The way they threaten, no one else in the industry do.

Franco got back to me about a support…

Franco got back to me about a support request super quickly and seamlessly fixed the problem. I love it when support teams get the issue right away and come back already having implemented the solution. What a super star!
