Dec 4th, 2011 - placed my order for my wife's Christmas gift (was told I should RECEIVE the package within 2-5 business days)
Dec 13th - No package and no sign that the package will be coming soon, so I first call the company and get the busy tone the first 5 calls and finally on the 6th get the answer machine only to find out their voicebox was full. So, I resort to emailing the company about my situation and gave them all my contact info, and I got an automatic response back saying one of their workers will email me back with details within 1-3 days
Dec 15th - NO PACKAGE, NO PHONE CALL, NO EMAIL... I try calling the company again. Get busy tone for the first 20 calls and then to my surprise a human being picks up the phone. She asks for my name and order number and tells me she recognizes my name and just made a FedEx label for me and that I will be getting a tracking number in an email immediately. And sure diddly doo I got an email when I got off the phone with a FedEx tracking number and on top of that she upgraded me to priority overnight shipping. Too good to be true? Yep
Dec 18th - NO PACKAGE. Call up FedEx to see where the package is and CanvasDiscount tell me Best Canvas made a label but never gave FedEx the package! I try calling Best Canvas multiple multiple times but never get anything more than a busy tone.
Dec 20th - NO PACKAGE. Call at least 30 times getting a busy tone and finally get an answer by an annoyed worker. Gave her my name and order # and got put on hold for 9 MINUTES! She comes back to tell me my order got lost somewhere in the mix and her boss will immediately print and send my order as soon as he gets off his break and I will have my package before Christmas. Soon after, I got an email with a new FedEx number and another overnight priority shipping upgrade. Also, I finally received a response to my email sent on the 13th restating that I have a new FedEx number.
Dec 23rd - NO PACKAGE. Call up FedEx and I hear the same story as before: Best Canvas made a label but never gave FedEx the package to ship.
Dec 25th - NO PACKAGE. I am not surprised and expected nothing more out of this company. I give up hope on ever seeing my wife's Christmas gift in 2011.
Dec 26th - NO PACKAGE. I don't care for dealing with Best Canvas any longer. I call them up and shockingly get an answer on the first ring. Gave the lady my info and she says my order somehow got lost, but could get it to me by the 30th. I told her that I no longer believe what the company tells me and I want a full refund. She says that is okay and that I will be getting my refund in 1-5 days.
Dec 27th - The one darn thing this company actually followed through on. I GOT MY MONEY BACK. OH HAPPY DAYS!
Please don't use them. They should not be getting paid for false advertising and false promises
Before checking out I decided to read the return policy just in case the photos didn't come out correct and that's where I noticed that it said some canvas's weren't shipped already assembled and that you had to do it yourself. This concerned me since I have never done it before so I emailed them to clarify. They sent an email back the next business day stating that all gallery wraps are delivered ready to hang. After that I decided to go ahead with my order since it was free shipping on orders over $100.
I got a little concerned when I noticed that the billing was done overseas and that's when I decided to check the reviews. Wow, these reviews put canvasdiscount.com in the worst possible light. I immediately emailed *******@bestcanvas.com (since I noticed some people had success emailing him) with my concerns. George quickly responded and assured me that the canvas's were on high quality canvas and that they come pre assembled.
I got my order today and I have to say I couldn't be happier. Everything came out great and it was all already assembled ready to hang like promised. Looks like canvasdiscount.com heard peoples reviews and actually decided to do something about it.
I highly recommend this site to anyone looking to decorate their home and not spend a fortune on some of the other sites out there. 5/5 Stars!
On December 2nd, 2011 I purchased a 24"x12" printed and framed color photograph canvas with a hanging system from BestCanvas.com for $61.04.
It has been over one (1) month since I placed my order and I have not received the products which I had purchased. I have tried contacting BestCanvas.com by telephone and twice by email; however, I have not received any reply nor have they contacted me regarding my inquiries.
Also, read Yelp.com reviews (Everyone here should also post elsewhere to prevent other people from going through this agony). This link also confirms the fraudulent nature of this operation:

Cons: The user interface doesn't allow you to see a large enough example of what the final product will look like. The positioning of the photo on the canvas via the user interface is truly limited, and doesn't allow you to reduce the photo smaller than it's default minimum size on the preview screen - forcing/requiring you to select a larger size in order to see "more" of the photo on the canvas. This is a very negative aspect of this service, in my opinion. With the quality and size of my original photo, I should have been able to see a greater portion of the photo and have it fit more fully within multiple (and smaller) options, but the interface didn't allow it. The print was stapled to a lite wood frame that was an inch shorter both in width and length that the size I had ordered, as well as the photo seemed to have been printed a bit larger on the canvas that what I had originally chosen. In regards to the overall quality and cost of the product, no matter what the marketing psychology is attempting to pitch to buyers with "value", I would put the cost higher than it should be.
In conclusion: I wanted something quick, easy, and quality enough to beautify my wall. It's good enough and fulfilled my purpose.
I've had made many orders over your "canvasdicount.com"
#USA*******097
This is I had used the "SAVE75" discount code you guys emailed me.
I then saw on your site the all orders over $75 get free shipping. I got my email of confirmation and it had said I was getting charge shipping? I thought simply there was a glitch of some sort. So i decided to call in "*******926"
The guy I talked to told me I need to order over the Canadian website. I had no idea there was one. Your employee said once you order over the Canadian site, I should call back in and you guys would apply the credits that I was expecting, hence "SAVE75" and Free shipping over $75.
Then I called to get my credits with my Canadian order "#CAA*******373"
The guy I talked to found the guy I was originally talking to and said CanvasDiscount will apply a $70 credit. I was happy that you had kept your word. Later that day I was realizing there was no confirmation email for that credit. So I called in again! They lady I talked to said there's no record of a credit being added?
I'm pissed! I can't believe what I had to go through. Very misleading and a waste of my time! You will not see me ordering from you again and I will be posting this email on sites that rate your site.
VERY BAD CORDINATION WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES! VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I ordered my order early November and it was guaranteed to be here by Christmas. My final piece of my order came January 10th. I had a lot of issues alone just to to get my items. Broken items, missing items, damaged items, wrong items. But When my actual real blankets finally arrived some were all blotched with ink on the back of the material. I only post it on here about the material but I received some sort of thin flannel type material of the same pictures I ordered on my blankets in the mail out-of the blue. I don't know if CanvasDiscount sent them for replacements or was left over patterns or what but it's fine with me. I'm just going to sew them to the other side of the ink blotch blankets. And consider my order done. I give this company credit for at least trying to do a good job and get my order right. I am not a satisfied customer but yet I am not an unsatisfied customer as well. After all the crap I've been through just trying to get my order. I am just going to accept what I received whether I have to fix it or not at least it is my order. Thank you canvas discount. For finally putting this miserable Christmas gift order to rest...
I just used iPhone photos. When you upload your photo to the website, they automatically give you just the sizes available to the resolution you've uploaded. I still was able to order a 30x40 canvas (still skeptical at the point). I paid under $100 for all three prints. Expecting some sort of major weird discount-y thing to happen.
The canvases arrived in within a week. They were wrapped professionally and securely. They were stretched appropriately on the wood frame and they look high quality. LOVE all three of the prints.
The canvas is rather thin compared to say, a classic oil painting canvas. For me, this isn't an issue, and they are still going to look great on my wall. I would just say that's the "get what you pay for" part of the whole deal.
The only critique I have is with the web cabibilities. Other websites show a 3D proof of your canvas (what it will look like stretched and wrapped), and also convey what the resolution will look like on the canvas. I was uneasy ordering, because the website only showed me a low resolution proof. I'm sure there have been many customers who have not followed through with an order because of this. Again, because of the price, it's hard to say it's not worth the risk...
Anyway, I placed an order a month ago and immediately received an order invoice confirmation stating that my order would be shipped within 5-7 business days, and a shipping confirmation email would be sent. Well, it's a month later and I never received my shipping email, no tracking, and no product either. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift and even if it is shipped tomorrow it likely won't get here by Christmas.
I called their customer service number and as it is a Sunday I got no answer. Emailed as well and am awaiting a response, if I ever get one at all. (Based on the horrible reviews I probably won't).
I can't comment on the quality of the product because I never received it.
My concern right now is how I'm going to dispute the charges with my bank. I used a debt card to pay for this transaction and it that's equivalent to using a checkbook. If anyone has any suggestions please help.
The first problem I had was that Best Canvas only applied $80 toward my purchase instead of the $88 it was worth. When I called to inquire as to what the issue was, no one picked up despite repeated phone calls mid-January. I decided to follow these calls up with an email. More than a week later I never received a response.
My item was shipped promptly and I received it within the same week of placing the order, however when I opened it I saw that the photo did not have the 'oil painting' effect which I had ordered. It was simply a plain, enlarged photo stretched over a cheap wooden frame.
I again called Best Canvas a week later to complain and again after several calls, I could reach no one. I also again followed up with an email and as of today, I have received no response. Fortunately I complained to the company from I purchased the credit about the deal and CanvasDiscount have EXCELLENT customer service resulting in me getting a full refund for the voucher I used.
Best Canvas is obviously not in business for the long haul. Perhaps it's someone's part-time business? They don't seem concerned with retaining customers and there is no customer service. I imagine legal problems are ahead for this company.
"Thank you for your message
Magic mugs in black have the best magic effect because the picture won't be seen at all until hot boiling liquid is inside.( like tea and coffee)
Magic mugs in other colors always show the picture printed on them without hot water only the original colors come up once the hot boiling liquid is in.
Please kindly let us know if you want a redo and we can change the color to black"
It would've been nice had their website stated that the pic could been seen on all the colors besides black. I would've ordered black...
I responded today that they were gifts that have already been given. I'll see if they send me black ones... I'm hopeful...
The one positive thing I can say is that the quality of the photos were decent. I read other complaints of poor quality prints, etc.
Anyway, my husband and father in law just took over an hour to assemble just one of the three canvas portraits. That is just rediculous! I wish just like the rest of you, we had read reviews before making a purchase.
After doing some research today, I learned that this company has changed their web address numerous times. Hmmmm, I wonder why? Could it be because they have got terrible reviews, complaints, and maybe even law suits against them? HECK YES!~
DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE FRAUDS! GO TO WALMART'S WEBSITE AND ORDER FROM THEM... I BELIEVE THEIR PRICES ARE BUDGET FRIENDLY. YOU'LL PAY MORE THAN CANVAS DISCOUNT, BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN RELY ON THEM SINCE THEY ARE SUCH A HUGE COMPANY.
We ordered a canvas print of a photograph we took while on vacation. The first print arrived and it was so dark, you could hardly make out our faces. On top of that, the canvas was stretched poorly and unevenly. The canvas came mounted on thick frame that was supposed to be white on the sides. The white was showing up on the front of the canvas and it was completely uneven. Imagine a Polaroid picture, except the white frame is completely uneven and not square.
There is a "contact us" form on the website and it says that you have to send in pics of the problem if you're requesting a reprint, but when I tried, the form wouldn't send and I had to retype everything - over and over again. Anyway, long story short, I ended up calling in and after a very long time on hold, I finally got someone who said she knew about the website problem and to just email her the pictures I had. Once CanvasDiscount saw the print, they agreed that it was too dark and improperly stretched. They offered to resend it printed and stretched correctly. Nice, I thought.
Attempt 2
For the second print, the color was now correct, but the canvas was still stretched improperly (same as last time) and this time the canvas was dirty. It's worth noting that each canvas comes completely sealed in plastic wrap. Anyway, all four corners had dirt on them (which showed up extra well on the white that shouldn't have been there). Also, there was a big black smudge in the center of the canvas. Again: pictures, call, email, reprint.
Attempt 3
Attempt 3: The canvas was for a third time stretched improperly and again the canvas was dirty. I mean, how is that even possible? At that point, I gave up and asked for a refund and (spoiler alert) I'm probably just going to end up having to dispute the charge with my credit card company.
All in all, a very poor experience. Whatever they've done well in the past, it seems they're no longer doing it. Try literally anywhere else.
Amendment to my previous review- I finally received my prints after we returned from our trip. The prints are lovely and were very well-wrapped for shipping. The company ended up refunding me 25% of the cost of my order because of the inconvenience. It amounted to about $36.00. I was grateful for that, especially since I had to in turn ship my prints to their recipients. The company must value customer service since they even offered me another discount after posting my earlier bad review. All in all, I was not please that they didn't make it to me on time (1 star) But, they were very nice once I received them (5 stars). This averages my review to 3 stars. If not in a rush to get my prints, I will likely order from them again since their quality and customer service was good.
I ordered my canvas print on a Wednesday, and it came promptly the following Monday morning. It came assembled, and the colors matched the image on my computer monitor almost perfectly. The only problems were that the black border for the canvas was a part of the front-facing image on the 12" sides, and there were a few barely noticeable lines/wrinkles in the canvas where it got bumped around from shipping. Other than that, It's a generally nice image and worth the $40 I paid for the job. I wouldn't use canvas discount if you're a professional selling photos in a gallery, but if you're just beginning to sell your photos and are on a budget, or are just looking to hang some pictures around your house, it is a very reasonable, practical way to go, and I honestly believe you will be satisfied with your prints.
Update 8/4/19: Note how this company gives the identical stock response to every negative review. It is NOT TRUE - they absolutely do have my email address and I have sent them images as well as a video showing their poor packaging method which caused damage to the canvases I received - three times! It sows that they really don't care - just give lip service.
I received the package yesterday and was quite confused as the box was 4"x4"x12" long. I ordered a 16"x20" canvas picture. Hmmmm... well, I was very surprised to learn I had to stretch it myself. I put it away last night and decided I would figure it out today.
Well, with 200 thumbtacks at hand, a hammer and a good attitude, I am reporting total failure of this product. I consider myself a pretty handy person (plumbing, household maintenance, no problem). The cheap frame (that you have hammer together yourself) has splinters that put a small hole in the canvas in the corner. Stretching the canvas is very difficult with only 2 hands and if you like your photo's level, you can pretty much forget it. I have made 2 solid attempts totally over an hour of time. Still no better.
I am waiting find out if CanvasDiscount will return it AND send me a shipping label, but I am fairly certain that will NOT happen.
This is a seriously misleading! Don't show the finished product on the site and deliver a half finished product. OR show the upcharge to purchase it assembled... then a customer will know what they are getting.
Father's day present - Ruined! Thanks Canvasdiscount.com
While the price point is very attractive, you will never get the product you are envisioning from this site. Spend the money at shutterfly or snapfish or any other site with decent reviews.
"you get what you pay for" -
These guys used to be good-- I used them a number of times last year and had good experiences. They now ship from Germany(?) even though they are a Florida-based company. Yeah, sure they are. New ownership? They used to ship their canvases with foam padding, tightly packed with care and strong wooden frames-- now they ship in unprotected shrinkwrap, loosely in a box with no padding and their wood frames are flimsy, light and the lowest quality of wood you can imagine. Please watch out for these guys. CanvasDiscount--- you really have to shape up-- or just close your doors. This scam-show is sickening.
While the price was one of the major reasons to decide for CD I came to realize that even though the prices have been pretty low the money is still wasted - the poor quality of the the 7! 30x40 Acrylic prints is simply inacceptable.
All of the acrylic prints show
-airbubbles between the photography and the acrylic sheet
- chips on edges of the acrylics probably due poor cutting process resulting partwise in saw tooth appearance of the edges
-the adheasive between the picture and the acrylic sheet does show visible distortions when pictures are mounted with lighting or in daylight conditions (i. E. close to windows)
The photo is attached to a single sheet of acrylic and not protected or supported in any kind from behind - which leaves practically no options to attach any kind of "invisible mounting solution from behind" - competitor products have a sheet of sintra mounted behind which contributes to stability and alternative mounting options. I would strongly recomend selfadhearing sintra sheets but CanvasDiscount will increase the costs significantly and you need to know what you are doing attaching those yourself.
Canvases offer a poor framing and the frames can be seen clearly as imprints in the pictures ( I orderd both versions standard frame as well as the 1.5' version)
I am very disappointed and whish I would have choosen a bit more expensive but quality option - there is no way that this quality is worth the regular pricing they state on their HP.
I placed my order on July 26,2019 after business hours had closed. So I expected that my order would be started the following Monday and shipped out Tuesday. The website states that shipping is usually 2-6 business days, so I was confident I would get my order by the end of the week.
When I hadn't heard back by Tuesday (July 30), I emailed customer service (as that was the ONLY way to contact them listed on their website). I heard back on Wednesday (July 31). The email I received back says:
"Please note that all orders enter productions after our accounts department has established receipt of payment. All orders enter the production planning at 7 A.M. during the business days or the next business day at 7 A. M if the order was placed after this time during the day.
The manufacturing lead time for:
1) canvas products is 1-2 working days.
2) photo gift products is 3-5 working days.
Delivery may take:
1) canvas products 3 - 5 working days.
2) photo gift products up to 14 working days."
I went online to double check what I had read, and the "24 hour" promise was still there on their homepage. I dug deeper and also found on their shipping FAQs page: "Wall decoration (which my order falls into) shipped within 24 hours, delivery in 2-6 business days."
This email was unacceptable to me as it was CLEARLY different than what was advertised online. I then searched on Google to find the company's number so I could speak to someone in person. The person I spoke with on the phone told me that my order went into production on Saturday (7/27). She also told me that my framed products took longer to produce, hence the delay, but again... THIS IS NOT MENTIONED ON THE WEBSITE. On the website, it says that wall decoration ships in 24 hours and both canvas and framed products are advertised as "wall decoration" on their website.
I reached out to the company via Instagram and received no response.
My husband reached out them on Twitter and received no response.
I only received a response once my order had shipped. But I didn't need it at that point because it didn't arrive in time and I lost out on a sizeable sale and marketing opportunity. When I asked for a refund, CanvasDiscount told me they would refund if I sent the giant order back on my dime (which is unacceptable as some of the prints are 30x36!) or if I destroyed all the products and sent proof of the destruction. How crazy is that!?
I am extremely disappointed in this company (and the lack of response I have received from my complaint) and will NOT recommend them to my fellow photographer peers or customers.
