I ordered a framed print on June 27, 2024. It arrived damaged. I contacted the company three times by email and three times by phone. Even though the business hours are clearly stated, it routes to a generic answering machine. Although it says you can initiate a return or a replacement on their website, There is no available option for me to return my item. The order number is Order #***-6375. The seller is completely unresponsiveInitial Complaint

The print arrived completely destroyed because they only wrap it in plastic. They don't use tube mailers. Obviously when a rolled print is shipped across multiple states with no protection it's going to get damaged. I can't believe they don't protect the print at all, that's a large part of there business.Initial Complaint

I placed an order for an important metal print to be used at our wedding This week. It was delivered to an old address (house sold) and I did not request to used such address. All other items in same order were delivered the proper address. I contacted Canvas on Demand. They admitted fault and re-sent to wrong address AGAIN after confirming correct address 3 times via email. (Attached). I was refunded $108.60 THAT DOES NO COVER THE DAMAGES FROM THE COMPANIES REPEATED IGNORANCE on this important order. I requested the companys parent company info that was incorrect, they refused a street address required by law when doing business with the public. They refuse CEOs name and contact. They more importantly refuse an address to their legal counsel so that I may file a NOTICE OF CLAIM. This company takes no responsibility for their mistakes and their lack of remorse and accountability is disgusting. Only pointing out that my being extremely upset and they dont appreciate my freedom of speech speak loudly to their cowardice, liberal entitlement and young entrepreneurial dont like it too bad attitude that hides behind a growing NO CUSTOMER SERVICE by phone, Ill save a few buck but loss tens of thousands of dollars by not having phone customer support THAT WOULD HAVE EASILY AVOIDED ALL THESE ISSUES AND ISSUES WITH ANOTHER ORDER I HAVE YET TO BRING TO THEIR ATTENTION!Initial Complaint

I ordered ten canvas framed prints from Great Big Canvas. Over $6,000. Ive received five, seven days ago. All five have damage from production and not from shipping. For seven days Ive been trying to get in touch with Great Big Canvas. First through their chat line, then by emailing them. Then the phone number from customer service, just to discover that the phone number is bogus. I have sent them pictures of the damage. Their reply has been that someone will call. Ive had my phone on me at all times waiting for their call. At one point they emailed that someone had tried to call. That never happened. Then stated that ** on a wait list for a return call. But absolutely no help, no call. The phone number for them that you have ************** is the same as their other number. Just non working. Please help me ************ Thank youInitial Complaint

Order Date: Feb 15, 2023 Order Number: ******** 1 Item Ordered: 36 x 29 La Grenouillere by "Renoir", 1869 Paid: $515.72 Claim to have an operating customer service but company has turned off phone communications "due to backlog" and not responded to my request online for FULL repayment of both the purchase price and shipping costs. Not only was the frame damaged, but the item itself is sold as a Renoir print. After further inspection, this is a counterfeit replica of a Monet painting. It doesn't remotely look the same and this business should be reviewed further for what it is selling on the market. Do not want a replacement, as it's not the real painting.Business response

January 24, 2023 I purchased 27 pieces of framed art from Great Big Canvas. I live in ********************* and am furnishing a home in **** ******. I am a designer who has worked in this business over 30 years and deal with ordering and having goods delivered to warehouses for many years for receipt, inspection of contents, and taking photos of any damage.My order number 215-6546 totals $9473.27. My warehouse, *********************** and ************** in ****** ****** owned by **** and *********************, received this order and relayed to me photos of damage of the boxes, the contents, and the art pieces as the boxes were opened. They told me that only three pieces had little damage; the others had split corners, gouges on the frames and scratches. One box was completely destroyed as was the painting. None of which I would accept, nor would anyone else paying nearly $10000. Who would want damaged art hanging on a new home's walls?I am asking the Better Business Bureau to look into this company as I have complained through emails with no response from their HELP line. No one calls me as I have given them my phone, email and contact information. I wrote a letter to *******************************, the *** who has not responded either. To me, this is fraud and is not a reputable company which should operate in an above board and transparent manner. So far, I have no art and have lost $9473.27 to an irresponsible company with lousy communication skills and even worse quality control in the shipping department.I will have supporting photos available should you need them; I will ask **** to compile his documentation to be forwarded to you. Let me know the next step.Respectfully,******* (***) ******** ******** Design ************ **********************Business response

As of this writing, a customer service representative has now worked with ********************. Pictures were sent of 8 products, out of the 27 products shipped. A refund for those 8 products was processed in the amount of $3675.01.
We were saddened to hear of ************************ order issues as well as difficulty in reaching our customer service teams. Emails should be sent out an automated reply, and any voice mails left with our telephone teams should have been returned prior to this occurrent of a BBB complaint, and I do offer our apologies for those delays.
Great Big Canvas does stand behind our products if quality issues are detected upon receipt. We ship thousands of products daily and strive to ensure that the best quality production has been executed for those shipments. We do require pictures of all damaged items so that we can a) work with our production teams and carriers to resolve identified quality issues and b) ensure customers are not overstating refund requests.
The details of that conversation are below:

I am rejecting this response because: I was told by ********************* of *************** & Storage that she sent photos of ALL but three pieces of art, so a total of 24 pieces with damaged corners or scrapes etc. We were credited for only a few of those pieces. I will ask ***** once more to re-send the photos with as much clarification as we can get in order to resolve this unfortunate shipping disaster. She will get this done as soon as she can as she has read the transcription between me and Great Big Canvas and now the Better Business Bureau of *******. I hope we can resolve this matter in the next week. ********************************* Petricca ******** Design
