I have ordered from The Canvas People a few times now and plan to order more. They come out beautiful and I am so happy with the fast delivery, I give them a overall rating of 5 Stars. The addition Of checking to make sure you got your order and seeing if you are satisfied says how much they care About their customers. Thank you Sandra Paschall

4/2/24

You should accept more picture file types or make the file conversion process streamlined and easy on your site. Also, the price shown prior to checking out changed to a substantially higher price when I went to checkout. It appeared this was done in an intentional dishonest manner to trick people into paying more than they thought they were.

Horrible company! Ordered what they call a "free 16x20 canvas and paid $25 to have it shipped. Received my canvas with my sons whole arm cut off. They were not willing to refund the $25 shipping that I paid. They were not willing to send a corrected canvas. They were not willing to do anything for me. They offered for me to go ahead and pay an additional $12 to resend again another free canvas. These people are something else. If you are a professional business, do the right thing period! Horrible company and I wouldn't recommend anyone to Canvas People! Period!

I'm disappointed in the customer service! The website did not clearly state the price of shipping my order. $211 for my canvases and $280 to ship them! It was not listed as a charge on the final page until payment was taken. I tried to communicate with customer service who did not listen or take any steps to adjust or resolve the issue. I was not asking for a hand out or anything for free! Just a reasonable adjustment to fix what was not clearly explained in my order. After ordering from here for years, I'll sadly not be returning

Tip for consumers:
If you order, be sure to watch your card charge since mine was charged a different amount (more than double) that was different than what was shown on the payment page!! I tried to explain but they don't listen.

Would have been happy if they just would have worked with me on a reasonable resolution! Did not listen to my concerns and I feel ripped off!

Stay away from them. I paid for all the extra stuff (professional editing) and the first one was not even cropped. They made another one and flipped/streached the photo. Doesn't look good. I give up. Hopefully my wife will be satisfied with one of the two since it's a surprise picture of our kids. Sorry can't take pictures. Still in box waiting to give to my wife.

I ordered a 16x20 size canvas for my daughter's birthday & I was very disappointed to see, when I received it, that part of her face was missing in the photo! Canvas People had enlarged the photo too much & not only did it no longer fit properly in the space allowed,but I could barely see the beautiful ocean & sky background behind the people, because the people in the photo had become so big. When I contacted Canvas People customer service about the issue, they blamed me for not cropping it properly! They are supposed to be the professionals,so shouldn't they preview the photo & fix such an issue BEFORE they make the canvas? Well, they would not admit to any wrong doing on their part, so they will never get anymore business from me. There are many canvas companies to choose from & I will choose one that cares about satisfying their customers in the future. Very BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! :(

Tip for consumers:
This company does not stand behind the quality & workmanship of their product. Instead of "the customer is always right",they apparently believe that the company is always right & don't seem to care about keeping business from their customers.

We were offered one of CanvasPeople's advertising products: a "free" pillow with the photo of your own choice. Since canvas is one of our favors, we decided to give it a try. What a surprise after paying $20+ dollars for so called shipping fee, the pillow arrived is a size of only 10"x10", not a standard dimension we expected, very disappointed. After chatting with the neighbors, we were encouraged to write a review so that people will know what to expect. For sure we will not use them again and don't recommend it to anyone.

These people run a special and then charge over $22 in shipping PER ITEM. Even for just a small 6x6 piece. I had 15 pieces in my order which should only cost them - $25 - $30 to ship and they wanted to rob me blind for OVER $350 in just shipping. This practice is HIGHLY UNethical.

THAT THEY ARE SHADY PEOPLE. JACKING UP THE SHIPPING TEN FOLD IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS!

Canvas Prints on Sale - they turned around and JACKED UP their shipping charge to cover the sale discount. I expected a $25 or $30 shipping charge NOT $352.00 Incredibly UN-ethical. Would never use this company again. SHADY SHADY SHADY

This was the second time I had to contact CanvasPeople regarding a print. Both times you replaced the original canvas but why does it take two tries.

Customer service replaced both prints and the prints were received in a very timely manner. Very concerned It took two tries to get good prints.

They sent me a canvas with my son's head cut off. They said I approved it this way which is inaccurate. They refused to fix or refund money. I will never purchase from them again and would discourage you to as well due to dishonest work ethic. Just a warning. They don't stand behind there work.

I have ordered several canvases. I got an Easter promo & completely got ripped off on their shipping cost. I over 200 bucks in shipping & then to top it off they packed every single photo in the same box but charged me over 20 bucks on each individual photo. The photos were $1.99 for 8x10's & $9.99 for an 18x24. I will NEVER use their service again.

After being charged over $200 bucks actually almost $300 bucks in phony shipping cost, I called their customer service to find out why my charge was sooo high & she told me there was nothing she could do about it!! Never again!!

Reason I chose this business:

A promotion

I received my order today, it's awful. Definitely will NOT be hanging it up. My son looks RED. I looked at the photo I sent and his skin tone looks normal. However, in the canvas he looks like he has a severe sunburn. Soooo disappointed!

I've been waiting a month for my canvas, they sent me an email stating my canvas had been delivered however, after reviewing my 360 security cameras around my home and after a half hour of looking for it, it was never delivered. I've tried contacting them and was even told they are going to send another to replace the one I never got. I still have yet to get anything, if I ever get anything I'll most likely up date or change my review. Until then I am never going to recomend or buy again.

I recently received my 18 x 24 canvas photo and I have to say that on opening it to preview before giving as a gift that I am very disappointed. I realize that the blurry look may have been from enlarging the photo, but I have ordered even from Walgreens and if you try to go to large it will not let you due to distortion. I had assumed that a company that is making their name on this product would have at a minimum done the same! I will say they have offered to let me order again at 50% off but why would I do that and spend more money with a company that I may end up with the same results. Beware, order at your own risk! There are plenty of other canvas companies. The second picture is the one I submitted to them. The other 3 are the quality that came back.

Tip for consumers:
Do not recommend. Use a company that will be upfront if the quality of the casnvas is not going to turn out well

I ordered a canvas for my mom for Mother's Day! It said it would be here by Mother's Day, the shipping I paid for! I contacted multiple times to see when it was going to ship as it said in production for days. All I would ever get it exactly what I could see, oh it's in production and you will be notified when shipped, I just received shipping notification and it shows it won't be here until NEXT FRIDAY, Mother's Day is THIS SUNDAY.

I'm a photographer so I assumed the quality would not be as good as my professional printer especially considering the price difference, but I wanted to try it out to recommend to clients wanting a cheaper option. I'm very disappointed. It's not even worth hanging up. Clarity and coloring are so off from my computer. Image was blurry (shot with my professional, full frame camera, high res upload) and the skin tones were very orange.

Ordered a custom pillow of our 13 year old dog who passed away, the picture blacked out his eye and cropped his ears off! When I wrote to them with my complaint, I was not offered any kind of solution. I wouldn't waste time or money with this site!

Canvas arrived in a timely fashion but the print and build quality just aren't there. I typically use other services- got a coupon for a hefty discount at canvas people and thought I'd print something for decoration in my studio (I'm a professional photographer, so I know how to prep a file and make a canvas pop) but the quality of the final print is so poor I wouldn't even give it away. I have since ordered a print from another company (using the same file) and it's gorgeous. I cannot recommend Canvas People.
