I had the worst experience with Customer Service from Jerry’s Artorama. I ordered $1000 autograph digital projector . I ordered an Artograph stand from Artograph. While putting the digital projecto... See more

Poorly packed material with paint spilling everywhere. I had to clean up the mess and took photos. Then I disposed of the whole thing before it leaked more onto the floor. Customer service then... See more

Ordered 6 stretched linen canvases. One arrived with a tear in the linen, still in the sealed wrapper. After a week of emails, Jerry's refuses to replace the defective item, instead offering $3.90..... See more

The prices are good but their shipping…

The prices are good but their shipping department has had consistently bad service. They held a 350.00 order because one item worth 3.00 was not available. Meanwhile I will have to order from Blick to get the items I need for my work this week. Shameful customer service that leaves you on hold for hours. That being said they do have excellent selection and decent prices.

Took MONTHS to ship, no notifications, no communication

Purchased a frame on their website. Waited WEEKS for a shipping confirmation which never came. When I called to ask, they said the item was out of stock and won't be restocked for at least another MONTH. The item was in stock when I ordered, and I never got an email from them saying it would be another month, so if I hadn't asked, I'd just be waiting for MONTHS for a product that wasn't coming. When I said this was ridiculous, they THREATENED TO CANCEL my order. When I said they should offer a discount for all the trouble, the guy said he'll ask his manager if he can, and then never got back to me.
As everyone else has said, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

This a is a terrible company

This a is a terrible company. They do not answer their phone/ their chat is not operating /they do not respond to email. One item from my order was missing and others arrived broken- smashed to bits in the box- like they were packed without any care. There is no respect for customer. Shop somewhere else.

Horrible company

Horrible company. Unresponsive and sends damaged materials. As a working artist, I don't have time for their garbage. Avoid this company at all costs. Customer service? What customer service. Horrible, HORRIBLE company.

I’m a repeat customer

I’m a repeat customer, never had a problem. Jerry’s Artarama carries some items I can’t find anywhere else. Whatever I’m looking for, I’ll always check their web site as I’m doing my research, and often find they have the best deal.

What a Cluster!

I ordered items on their website. I updated my billing address and clicked USE BILLING ADDRESS for the shipping. For some reason the website didn’t accept it and now my order is going to my old address in a different city. I tried immediately to call them to fix it. That was an hour and a half ago and I’m still on hold. I finally reached someone on their live chat after 40 minutes and they said it was too late to cancel the order. Just so unhappy with their service, website, etc. Utrecht, Cheap Joes, here I come.

Love Jerry’s!

I never had a problem when ordering. I was worried that my package wouldn’t arrive on time for me to start college in less than a week, especially because of the pandemic, but all of my items came in 2 days! I didn’t even pay for fast shipping.

Shipping takes forever and customer…

Shipping takes forever and customer service is nonexistent. I would cancel my order but there's no way to do it!! No one answers the phone; no one replies to e-mails. I won't make this mistake again.

Horrible customer service and unintuitive website, avoid if possible

Jerry's Artarama offers some decent prices on certain items sometimes, however a clunky, unintuitive website mars the experience. Navigating the different items is a tedious task, and they do not allow any adjustments to be made to an order after making it, even before it is processed. This could be forgiven if not for the absolutely horrible customer service. They wait until long after your order is processed and shipped to respond any emails sent to their "customer service department". When they finally do respond they make absolutely no effort to address your concerns. After barely attempting to address your concerns they then proceed to ignore you, and no longer respond. Avoid if possible. There are better websites to order art supplies from, that treat their customers better.

Poor cancellation policy

Poor cancellation policy. I ordered the wrong sized brushes on a Sunday night paying with paypal. After seeing my mistake, I tried to cancel through paypal, but Jerry doesn't have that option allowed. I then sent an email. When I called first thing in the morning, they said the order had already been processed at 5 am. The call center doesn't open until 8:30 am, and the email division opens after the warehouse. Now the only option I have is to refuse the order, and wait for the slow return of my money.

Sylas jerked me around as I tried to…

Sylas jerked me around as I tried to have a price adjustment on a product I purchased "on sale" on line for $96 (from "regular price" $119) which arrived with a price tag reading $76/$119. He told me that I could not be refunded the difference and that I could return it only by mail but that I would have to pay the shipping myself (it's a 20-30 pound box, so this was out of the question). I then was offered a $10 e-gift card. The lamp was for Mother's Day and there was time pressure to give it as a gift, so I accepted the $10 (which after a week never arrived in my e-mail) and wrapped and gave it as a gift only to unpack it to find it the pole scratched/missing paint in 2 places and the weighted base was scuffed and very dirty - obviously the lamp had been used. I asked for a rebate for the item sold as "new" but was in fact a used item or perhaps a floor model. Sylas replied that he would NOW send a pre-paid return label but I would only receive a full refund if it were received in a condition suitable for re-sale. I've had it with this company and will never order from them again. They did not treat me with respect and I recommend others not to buy anything sight-unseen from Jerry's Artarama on-line. The personnel are lovely in person at the store in Norwalk, CT and there you can actually make sure the item you are buying is in fact new.
