I ordered two large picture frames and both arrived severely damaged due to insufficient packaging. A replacement order was shipped and the frame arrived broken in half. Customer service offered me the option of a refund or replacement, I selected refund because I'm not confident that they will be able to ship so the frames arrive in good condition. I have been waiting since February 25th for the refund, and it has not yet come through. Every time I call, Customer Service tells me the refund request remains pending. I ask to speak to a manager and am told all the managers are in a meeting, but they would pass along my information and a manager would call me back. I have yet to receive a call back from any manager, days later. I have also documented via pictures on email and followed up regularly, with no response. It is nearly $500 that is due in refund to me, and I am being stonewalled. As a last resort, I will have to dispute this charge with my credit card company.
This company has all the appearances of being responsible and consumer friendly featuring "Live Support" online chat etc but after they sent me the wrong frame, they asked me to supply photo images to prove it. After I provided such they emailed to say it could be as long as 3 days before they looked at resolution. They don't answer the phone, they don't return emails and they don't have Luve Support. I may be out of the $80.00 Inspent with them. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. IT MAY BE A FRAUD
Waste of money! I paid $160 for a gold frame and no matter how many times I put it together and tighten the screws, it just falls apart when u try to hang it. I'm so angry right now because I waited and waited for this to show up so I could frame this print and the frame is GARBAGE. On top of that the tension clips are loose and don't hold the print and the mat in place and the glare is terrible even though I ordered glare free. Live and learn. I lost $160 and I'll just go get it professionally framed like I should have in the first place. I should have read the reviews first.
I just received my pictures today. I must admit after reading the reviews i was apprehensive i spent a good chunk of change on what i wanted and happened to read reviews after my purchase.
I opened the boxes., which were packed and crated beautifully and to my shock
STUNNING.
The frames were high quality and exactly what i had picked. The stretched canvas pictures were gorgeous and the pictures i ordered with no glare glass perfect. The processing time was quick like... 2 weeks.
I did a great deal of "comparison shopping" and the 25% off coupon saved me a great deal of money for very similar frames and selections.
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat No complaints here!
I placed an order for 5 frames, after which I got an email saying they were back-ordered. Wait, why didn't you say that before I ordered them? I called, and they said they would be coming in 4 weeks. I called four weeks later, and they said they were not sure when they were coming. Meanwhile, I have a show coming up. They said I could order something else and then call the next day to see if the frames were in stock. Huh? I get supply chain issues, but how about letting the customer know what is going on? Like before you order.
Shame on me for purchasing from this site before reading the reviews. I never would have paid $100 for two frames that come without glass or backing! It is absurd to me that this is not more obvious when purchasing. When the package came (I did not have extreme delays that other people had), I couldn't believe how light it was and then, I realized it was because there was no glass! I don't even want to give this company more money by trying to get the matching backing and glass.
Tried for over a week to checkout but couldn't get past the shipping screen. Used email, chat box, feedback box, cleared cache, used different browser... The only answer I have gotten from them was via the chat box where they suggested I just place the order over the phone. Sick of companies that make you beg to give THEM money.
Hello Jason,
I’m so sorry for the frustration you have experienced when using our site. It is our goal to provide exceptional service when fulfilling your order, and I’d like to investigate this further for you to see how we can better serve you. I will send you a direct message here to get more information on the issue and will speak with our team directly to address the issues you encountered. Thanks so much for reaching out.
This is the best site I have found for frames for my artwork. They have an extensive array of frames from which to choose and the prices are very reasonable when you compare them with many other frame sites. The quality of the frames is excellent.
Thank you so much for the generous compliments, Paul! We deeply appreciate that you value our selection, quality and price (apparently, you are brilliant *and* have excellent taste), and continue to entrust us with your framing... seriously, it's the nicest thing we've heard all day.
This was my first order with them and possibly my last. They had to do two replacement orders to me before I accepted the order. Even then, the quality was not what it should have been. I accepted the third shipment in order to be done with the ordeal. Certainly not what I expected from a company who touts "made in America" products. To their credit, I must admit that they do a really good job in how they pack the frames for shipping. If their quality matched their packaging that would be awesome.
Joseph – We feel your pain - we’d be frustrated too if it took 3 tries! We’re horrified that it took us more than once to get it right, and still didn’t WOW you. We are so sorry and would love the opportunity to regain your confidence in our offerings.
Founded by Artists, we truly take great pride in the quality of our mouldings, printing and finishing, and love to empower and engage all of our customers in a place of inspiration. With the majority of our offerings proudly American Made, we are able to lower our carbon footprint (to the point of having a Zero Landfill workshop) and keep more jobs in America. We’ve also introduced a radical new 100%/Zero Guarantee (you can find more information here: http://www.pictureframes.com/100-zero-guarantee) that encourages our customers to order samples before selecting a frame. If you would like to give us another shot (and we certainly hope you would), we invite you to choose some alternate frames, so you can have them in-hand, and order with complete confidence, assured of their quality. Feel free to call us at (800) 332-8884, so we can handle your request, personally.
Again, we deeply appreciate the feedback, and look forward to becoming your preferred choice, in the future.
I placed two orders over a month ago and have yet to receive them nor have they replied back to my request for status emails x 7. They have my money yet I have no product. They don't answer their phone either - it goes straight to vm. I will be reporting them to the BB if I don't have a resolution with 48 hours!

I ordered a floating frame for a 16x20 canvas. After ordering I looked on this site and saw they had such a poor rating I was scared I had made a mistake. Boy was I wrong. Pictureframes.com worked within the time frame the had outlined on their site and kept me updated of progress each step of the way. I received my frame today and it was absolutely beautiful! I love it! I am so glad I did not look up the reviews prior to ordering. I will happily do business with them in the future.
Hello Leisa,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are honored to help you frame your artistic projects and simply brimming with joy that you are happy with your final product! The ornate floating frame was an exceptional choice and your painting looks great in it. I can’t wait for more opportunities to create something magical with you!
I wish I had read the reviews before I placed my order. After waiting 2 weeks I received a completely different frame of what I ordered. I ordered a brushed gold frame and this is what I got. Horrible!
Hello Mariela,
I sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you had when ordering from us. This is not the high level of care we hope to bring to our Creative community. I spoke with our Customer Care team and I do see that they were able to come to a solution for you. Should you need anything further I will send you a direct message here for you to respond to me so I can better assist you. Thanks for reaching out.
Ordered several times; but relevantly - about a year ago, ordered several frames. Unfortunately, one of those frames fell off wall hook last yr, badly bending the frame. I ordered its replacement several weeks ago and paid for it, of course - but from exactly the same PO, and when the frame arrived was off by at least 2" for both the width and height. I talked to their customer service this AM, and with agreement it was their mistake, in order to have a replacement sent, they made it as difficult as possible to proceed. To eliminate their annoying hassle, and get a replacement sent, it will be at my expense with all costs, taxes and shipping borne by me - and yes, it was their fault they couldn't properly understand the concept of frame size and send the right frame, so i wouldn't have to pay for this frame three times.
I ordered three metal frames with non-glare plexiglass. Total cost over $900. I got three frames that would not fit around the plexiglass that they cut and shipped me. I called the customer help phone number. I got a recording that told me to send an email. I sent an email describing the problem. I got a automated email response that someone would be in touch within five business days. Ten days later and no response. Think twice about doing business with this company.
When the frames were ordered, the site said 3-5 day delay due to COVID. Ok, I get that. Now 21 days. Still just shows the order was "received". I have had 1 response through customer service email that just said, we are working on your order. No phone calls were answered or returned. I have no idea when I will see the frames. Never again with this site.

Thanks very much for reaching out to us.
I have been a customer of Pictureframes.com for at least 10 years (also Grafix dimensions). Always thrilled with their service and frames. I placed an order last month and have been used to receiving a quick turnaround. Not only have I not seen the frame (and my daughter had same problem) but they will not reply to request for more information, when frame will be shipped and they will not refund the no longer needed frame. I have not been able to get any information whatsoever. They are running all kinds of promotions and are not delivering product. I have already gifted the painting and my daughter missed her show. The charge remains on my credit card and I am moving in a few days and will not be able to receive the product should it ever ship. They used to have excellent customer service. Now they have none.
Placed a $233.00 order for a custom floating frame on June 29th and received the response of additional 14 business days due to Covid. Ok that's fine I'm understanding. Was told in the follow up email I would receive an email when it went into production and then shipped. Its now July 23rd and I still havent received any email update or answered on the phone when I called about my order.
I wish I had read this site as the reviews I'm reading here seem to all echo the same sentiment of an unprofessional business with terrible customer service. At this point I guess I'll have to dispute the charge and just go somewhere locally to get the frame.
Hello Erin,
I want to apologize for the frustration you’ve experienced. I’m very sorry to see that your ordering process with us was not exceptional.

I will send you a direct message here to get more information from you so that I can do that. Thanks for your honest feedback and for reaching out to us.
How cheap is pictureframes.com compared to a high end printer - I am trying to decide if I want to buy an epson 3800, which is a pretty high end printer but I feel like I might be better off spending the money on actual prints from a place like this. Does anyone know the advantages of just printing online vs high end home printer?
Wowwww! I just read all the recent comments. Unacceptable.
I placed an order early morning on June 3rd. The email confirmation stated, "customers may experience a production time of up to 10 business days on orders." Ok, I'm fine with this information coming in an email but delays should also be stated on the website (apologizes if I am wrong on this but I didn't see any). My order is going into the 13 business day with no sort of email update and you can't contact customer service.
I understand we are in crazy times and things are going to be delayed but don't over promise and under delivery! That's a customer service 101 no-no. I rather be told up front that it's going to take X amount of time and then you over delivery.
When will I get my order?!?!?!?

I ordered three frames exactly a month ago. No response from customer care team through email about progress of the order and no access to live chat or phone representative during the hours they say they are available. No idea what happened to my order and seemingly no ability to get in touch to clarify what happened. Hoping for the frames or a refund! If the company wants to get in touch with me directly my email is *******@gmail.com

Answer: Impossible. No one answers the phones or calls back, no one answers their emails. They'll stay in contact until they get your payment and then they disappear.
Answer: This company appears to be a legitimate business, but it definitely has unethical practices.
