Second purchase from Jackson's - I found Schminke watercolour paints on sale for a great price, ordered Monday night, and they were delivered Wednesday! So looking forward to trying them.

My order arrived within four days from Adelaide to Canberra, Australia. All products ordered were received undamaged and in good condition. I've used Jacksons before and found their prices reasonable. Show details

Outstanding: The Icon watercolour brushes are great but, what is more outstanding is the postage; ordered and paid on the 19th and they arrived on the 21st.. The little treats in the box is always a surprise, thanks Andrea. Show details

 Follow-up  · I use wet on wet, on dry and the Three wash approaches. I usually find a biscuits or sweet in the package, nice... Brushes are really good.

Putting my Fabriano Venezia large sketchbook and Caran D’Ache pencils to use after they arrived today. Happy with both.

Fantastic shopping experience at Jackson’s Art Australia! The customer service was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. I tried their Jackson’s branded watercolours and synthetic brushes, and both were great - vibrant colours and great quality brushes. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with both the service and the products. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending Jackson’s Art Australia to fellow artists!

Took advantage of the recent canvas sales and ordered 2 Jackson's own branded canvases. Could not be happier with the quality. It was packed beautifully (by Andrea) and arrived so quickly! Looking forward to starting my next project. Highly recommend.

Advertised archival boxes buckram product as Vegan, arrived and smell of detergent/beef gelatin. Have aired them several days and still stink. Don't appear to be answering phone returning calls No email address listed anywhere, chat bot not responding query Can return but all shipping costs are on you to/from even though product falsely advertised.

I recently ordered an Escoda Ultimo Evolution series 1933 size 16 watercolour brush. I’ve been contemplating one of these brushes for ages and done a fair bit of googling on them, but as they’re expensive I hadn’t yet made the leap to purchase one - until now. Jackson’s had them on sale so I jumped at it. I’m not great at ordering on line so I… Read more

spoke with Maggie at Jackson’s in Adelaide who was extremely helpful, took my details and dispatched my brush on the same day I ordered it! I’m in Tassie but it only took 3 days to get to me. I’ve just now received it. Well packaged with no chance of it being damaged in transit. There was even a little biscuit in my box. I’m heading straight out to the studio to try it out. Seriously, is there anything better than new art supplies?

Product was priced cheaper than other stores and actually in stock. Shipping was cheap even for express and it even came with a biscuit. Will definitely be buying from them again. Show details

I’m thrilled with my Jackson’s online order and quick delivery to my Sydney suburban address once again. My Etchr sketchbook and 28 well watercolour palette were packaged securely and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Andrea in Adelaide. I will certainly order through Jackson’s again. Show details

I've ordered a few times from Jackson's. The prices are usually quite good and there's always been a quick response in shipping items out. But, if you receive a faulty item, forget it. No one answers the phone, there's no email address to send an email and photo, and the stupid chat bot can't help so it tells you someone from the team will… Read more

get back to you. Based on other reviews, I won't be holding my breath for a call back. The only option left is a return request, except the customer has to pay the return shipping. Not reasonable for a faulty item.

Honestly, I'm considering contacting my bank and requesting a chargeback.

Terrible company to deal with – Possibly the worst purchasing experience I have ever had. The website is horrible, it’s unresponsive, links don’t work, etc. payment was taken without the order being recorded (this was resolved within a few hours but order had to be placed again) the dispatch and shipping time is incredibly slow taking approximately 2.5 weeks to get from London… Read more

to Sydney Airport (I still haven’t received my order but at least I know the carrier pigeon it was sent on has finally made it into the country). Australian customer service rarely answer the phone and more often than not do not return phone calls, they do however return emails in a reasonable time. They are generally unhelpful but I guess this is a result of what they are and are not allowed to disclose to their unappreciated customers. Terrible company to deal with.

Purchasing from Jackson’s Art website was so easy to navigate and all the information that I needed was at the touch of a tap or two. The price was very reasonable and quite a bit cheaper than others I compared. The cutter was delivered in very quick time, a shorter timeframe than what some local parcels take. I have used this straight edge cutter… Read more

a few times and found it so easy to use and the design of the cutter eliminates the risk of injury. I purchased this straight edge cutter because I cut myself quite badly with the knife that I was using and decided I needed the correct accessory for my Logan mat cutter. Thank you Jackson’s Art for making this purchase a breeze. Definitely a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

One very satisfied customer – Have placed quite a few orders through Jackson's Art Australia website and have always found a great range of art supplies at very competitive prices. Orders have always been processed quickly and efficiently. Though I recently had a problem with one item I had purchased (a manufacturing issue which the staff would not have been aware of as the… Read more

item was pre packaged), the Customer Service staff were incredible in the way they responded to and resolved the issue. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jackson's Art Australia.

Easy ordering, fast delivery and quality products. You get all of that with Jackson's Art Australia – I have now purchased several different sets of soft pastels for Jackson's Art Australia and cannot fault their service, product range and prices. As I live rurally, this is the only way for me to purchase pastels and the Jackson's Art website provides information and true to color illustrations. Easy ordering, fast delivery and quality products have got me coming back time and time again. Thank you Jackson's Art Australia!

Franztastic! – Franz has got to be one of the most helpful representatives I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They asked the right questions, expressed genuine empathy (hard to do by email!) and really went out of their way to keep me in the loop about stock levels regarding my order.

Often worth exploring an alternate supplier – First time dealing with Jacksons this week, but one can tell immediately the professionalism, and helpful support. Product range certainly seems extensive & seemingly very competitive. The key though is the proactive & helpful staff, which needs to be a given when dealing interstate!

Jackson's Art in Australia - Brilliant! – I've been a customer of Jackson's UK for quite a while and really welcome the new Australian outlet; same great quality products and service but delivery time is cut right down. A real bonus. Show details

Great specialist store – I've always found Jackson's staff to be knowledgeable – they know their products – and very responsive. Prices are generally competitive with frequent category sales and now that they have a distribution centre in Adelaide, shipping is quicker and cheaper than before. My only complaints relate to the website. It can be a bit slow to load and is… Read more

sometimes flakey in its filtering: products that I know they stock don't necessarily show up in a category filter but can be found if you search directly for them. And at the moment some of the open stock products aren't loading with a colour selection page (e.g. some of the gouache lines), which makes things a bit more arduous if you're buying several colours from particular range. But these are relatively minor issues that I'm sure will be fixed in due course. Also, a couple of times I've been allowed to place orders for products that aren't actually in stock (or aren't in stock in the specified location), which can be frustrating. Finally, it would be really nice if the _product page_ could indicate whether the item was in stock in the UK and/or Australia. At present, one has to add items to the cart in order to see where they are and then edit the cart accordingly.

Delighted my favourite Art Suppliers are now in Australia – I’ve been a very happy customer of Jackson’s for a couple of years. Now that they have opened a warehouse in Australia things are going from good to excellent. It’s often hard to get exactly what’s needed in art supplies in Australia, added to which the postage from the UK can be prohibitive - those days are now gone. Welcome to Australia Jackson’s! Show details

Always a great experience – I have used Jackson’s Art many times and have been very happy. Now that they have a warehouse in Australia the experience is even better. I had a question re future stock and their customer service was quick and friendly. Will continue to buy my art supplies from them. Show details
