NOT HAPPY – Placed an order, which was delivered promptly. However, the colour was off. Sent in images showing the disparity. Was advised it had been sent off to be re-printed. This was over a month ago. Was advised yesterday via email of tracking number - this was the number of the original order. Extremely unhappy. I can't get a straight answer or… Read more

consistent customer service person, so I am hoping that in writing here someone somewhere will take note and give me some customer service.

Genuine Customer, Very Pleased!!! – I found this company via a Google search and couldn't believe the prices of the prints. I had recently been sent digital copies of some pictures we had done at a professional shoot in the UK and was keen to have them printed on canvas. When we bought the digital prints the photographers had said they would only be suitable to print as 6x4 pictures… Read more

but the files appeared to be normal jpeg files so we thought we would try to print bigger and see what the results were like.

I emailed the company and attached the files and got an almost immeadiate reply assuring me they would be ok to print in the sizes we required. I was about to place a $400 order when I noticed a link to this review website and I was disappointed to find so many damning reviews. Although the majority of reviews were positive there was something about them that made me question if they were all genuine. They seemed "too good to be true" and I wondered if the company was generating its own reviews to cover up for the negative ones.

We decided to take a chance and ordered a 120 x 40 panoramic on the basis that this would be the most difficult to produce and if it was successful we would then follow through ordering the other smaller prints.

I placed the order online on 19/09/13 and sent an email to the customer service people with our order number as they had suggested, so that they could check the order prior to processing. They replied immeadiatly to say it was ok and that the order would be dispatched in 2-3 business days. On 28/09/13 I got an email to say the order had been dispatched and today, 01/10/13 it arrived by courier (a total of 11 days from order to delivery).

The parcel arrived in perfect condition and I was delighted to find the print was exactly as I'd hoped it would be. The colours look great, the printing is faultless and the image is clear and vibrant. I can't comment on the quality of the wooden frame as I'm no expert but it appears to be strong and durable and doesn't look like it will warp or bend.

I am chuffed to pieces with my new picture and am about to submit my order for the rest of my pictures.

I don't doubt that frames produced by photography studios and the like are probably better quality but the prices they command are extortionate and frankly out of my price range. Even Kmart, Officeworks and Big W wanted over $300 for a canvas this size. For less than $100, I have a great picture and money left over to get lots more done.

I don't usually bother writing product reviews but I felt the need to take the time to write this one to reassure others that despite being based overseas, this company does produce the goods that it promises. I will post again if my second order is as succesful or if I have any other feedback. Excellent value for money

Cheap Prints for a Reason – My experience with this company has been appalling! Their website advertises a large discount off the prints and they can supply within 10 - 15 working days. It took six weeks to receive the prints I had ordered, following a number of emails that they did not respond to. There is no contact phone number so the only means of communication was… Read more

by email. It wasn't until I reported them to the ACCC for taking payment without supplying goods, and false advertising of their delivery timeframes that I finally got some response.

The finished print work on the canvas is good, however the frames and the wrapping are not very good quality. The wrapping is not very neat, one of the frames is out of square, and the hanging hooks had to be fixed up as they were not centred.

This is an experience I have learned from, and I will not be ordering a product like this in the future from a company website that does not have a phone number. The prints were very cheap, and you do get what you pay for, however I would have expected better service from them.

I will not be using their service again and do not recommend this company to anyone.

lack of customer service, no phone number to contact, no response to emails, poor quality product

Print quality is good – Delivery time from order placement was good; Placed order online on 15th Aug and notified on 22nd Aug that order had shipped. My order was waiting to be picked up at my local post office on 27th Aug. Shipping is from somewhere in China/Hong Kong via EMS. My 5 Canvas prints were packaged in one box with bubble wrap filling the gaps. Canvases were… Read more

protected with cardboard corner covers and plastic shrink-wrap. Cardboard corners are staple-gunned to the frame which require removal - pliers make it easy. I ordered 4 30x45cm with black sides on the gallery wrap and one larger 50x75cm with full gallery wrap. The print quality on all of the prints was very good. The image wasn't perfectly aligned on the smaller canvas prints top edge - it overlapped slightly. No problem with the full gallery wrap though. I would use them again. Cheers. The pricing of the canvas prints and shipping is excellent (compared to other Australian providers). Print quality is good. As the items ship via EMS it would be a nice service to provide a tracking number. The timber used for the stretcher frame is very light so could possibly be damaged easily in transport. Packaging of multiple canvas prints should have bubble wrap covering for better protection in shipping.

Fantastic! Highly recommend – I can't thank you guys enough. Super fast shipping, fantastic comms, and even able to edit the pic to tidy it up a bit. Very helpful, and great products.

Awesome Service – We placed an order with the canvas printers, it was a mother's day gift and extremely happy to see the end result. Affordable rates and prompt shipping, which makes me very happy. We will love to use this company again and will recommend others to buy canvas prints. Customer service is excellent as well and they answered all my questions/concern promptly and efficiently. Keep up the good work quality, prompt shipping, customer service

Great service – I placed an order with the canvas printer and received an email back telling me that the quality of the picture was not very good so they weren't going to process it and what would I like to do. I asked for a refund and it was absolutely no problem for them and they were so helpful in the process. It is not very often these days once someone has… Read more

taken your money that they will give a refund so easily. I was so happy with their service and once I get my pictures right I will definitely be ordering with them. Best customer service I have experienced for a long time.

Horrible Chinese based company. Stay away aussies – This company, which trades as Mostly P/L, has quite a few different canvas printer websites, all with similar names, offering similar deals. Stay away. They will be cordial and polite as you are about to order, but the second your payment is through, bam you won't hear from them again, until they have to respond in your paypal claim. Took 9 weeks… Read more

to receive the canvases, which were of horrid quality (think of using your cheapy brother printer and putting material into the paper feeder..no joke).

Listen carefully: spend the extra 10 bux, and go to Harvey norman or officeworks. It's worth it Life lesson The company, brand, communication, deceptiveness, quality, business ethics. I could write a page...

Very, very disappointed! Would like a response from the company .So far just rude rude rude! It just did'nt arrive.

Terrible service – Finally after about 7 weeks my order has arrived. Offcourse as I have predicted after all the previous troubles that was another disappointment. The quality of the canvas is very poor. It could be compare to quality of a photo from everyday newspaper. The canvases are not fully cover by the paint/ink. There are thousands of tiny white spots… Read more

all over the pictures. It looks like they have been printed in saving the ink mode. The frames are thin and black!? And so uneven that they can stay flat on the wall. Maybe that is because of poor packaging it which they were delivered.

Waiting time, lack of proper contact, quality

Excellent service! Quality product! – We chose The Canvas Printer initially because their prices were just so good compared to their nearest competitor. And we couldn't be happier with every aspect of their service. The ordering process was quick and easy, very fast delivery times, and the pictures were just gorgeous! They looked fantastic! I cannot recommend The Canvas Printer highly… Read more

Great service, fast turnaround – I was a little concerned after reading some reviews but I'm glad I gave them a go. I ordered my canvas on Sunday night and received it the following Tuesday. The color is exactly the same as original image and the quality is good. I was surprised to see it came from China though as I thought it was an Australian company printing in Australia but I guess that's a reflection of the price. Fast, great color and good quality From China

Customer service really came through and we are so happy with the final print – We bought a print from The Canvas Printer because their prices are far and away the best. Literally a quarter of what some other companies are charging. Uploading an image was all fine, but unfortunately the print arrived very dark and not at all like the original. So, we informed customer service and sent photos of the print and they said a… Read more

replacement would be sent out.

It took a little while, and we did actually halt the payment for it via PayPal, but the final replacement product that we received (at no additional cost) was just amazing. If that quality had come first time around I couldn't have been happier. Amazing print quality, good customer service Service a little slow to respond and not very formal

Excellent quality prints at a fraction of the cost – We just received a set of three 75cm prints I had ordered on 19th October and are very happy with the results! The prints are sharp and clear and mounted on sturdy frames. A few months ago I ordered a smaller print to check the workmanship and was convinced they are a genuine printing business. In all, I had four prints done by them. The price… Read more

is unbeatable and the tracking system is very handy. Quality of work; inexpensive; speed of communication and constant updates on the status of order.

Worth the wait!! – I wasn't sure if a picture I had would be the right format and quality for these guys to blow up and put on canvas (especially considering the size I wanted!). I emailed to ask before I placed the order if it were possible, but it took a second email to get a response. From then on the communication was clear and quick and they offered me a… Read more

preview of the print before I asked for it. It did take about three weeks longer to receive then I expected it to but I was delighted by the finished product. Quality, size, communication.

Amazing product – Received my canvas yesterday and was soo happy with it!.my dad loves it. The guys were so helpful and recommend a great size for my photo that wouldn't destort it and its perfect. I would deffo go through them again. Had no problems only that I had emailed them to see how it was going as it had been 2 weeks since I order it and thought I would of… Read more

heard from them, but to find out that my canvas did get ruined when they should have contacted me instead of me emailing them to find out it was ruined. But they asurred me that they would quickly replace it as i wanted it by a curtain time and i did receive it by then and im happy with what I have. Great work.

Perfect – I sent low quality phone pictures not expecting the turn out to be very good, but I was very amazed at the how the canvases turned out, they contacted me beforehand and showed me a sample of what the final product would look like to make sure i was happy with it... I highly recommend them... and you won't find a better price Customer Service, Price

Excellent product so happy – I have been waiting to order but wanted the right pics. Finally i placed an order and I am absolutely rapt in the finished product. The price was unbelievable and the product top notch. I will be purchasing again without a doubt. I can't wait to get them hung in the new house. They will be a huge hit and I am sure once friends and family see them that they will be placing their own orders for products. inexpensive

Wonderful service – I placed an order with a degree of trepidation as I rarley buy anything on-line. I supplied a scanned copy of a 40 year old photo and ordered a 60cmX60cm print. My order was received and i was advised a 2-3 week wait for delivery. Delivery was made 12 days after order - amazing considering it came from China. I could not believe the quality of the print and speed of service. The quality

Good Value for money – I have ordered numerous canvas's from this company and am very happy with their service. I had 1 canvas arrive damaged and they were happy to re-print and send free of charge. Be patient as they can take a while to respond and post your item. But its worth the wait. Cheap, Good quality Postage sometimes takes a while

Family portrait – I am very happy with the Canvas Printer. On receiving our prints the colour was not quite right so I contacted the company via e-mail with photos showing my concern. They immediately replied saying the would re-print them at no extra cost. I now have the re-prints and they are lovely. Thank you Canvas Printer Excellent

Amazing Quality – I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the website but being such a low cost I though it would give it a shot anyway! I'm very glad I did! these canvases are easily on par if not better than what you would get at a major retailer like Harvey Norman! The service is absolutely fantastic and they will help you out with any of your needs!! I cannot praise these guys enough! I definitely plan to use them in the future!

Fast service, great quality – Had used another company in the past, with good results but quite expensive. Thought I would try The Canvas Printer and was willing to write off the cost if not up to standard. Happily the quality is as good as my previous provider, but the cost was less than half. Great quality, speedy delivery, especially considering the distance.

Waiting for my prints...maybe next year. Ugh! – I can't believe i am still waiting for my canvas prints to come in. It has literally been nearly a month. I figured that should be more than ample time for them to mail them before christmastime. Apparently not. Because I have contacted the canvas printer time and time again and it seems like i just keep getting the runaround. Evidently they are backed up. takes forever

Looks Great – I was over the moon with my printed canvas. I would recommend The Canvas Printer to anyone. I got a canvas print done of my children for my mother in law for xmas and she loved it. Response to emails was great and very pleasant ,I will be back for more.Thanks again for everything. I thought the price was great. The quality was amazing. I think address and a phone number would have been good.
