I ordered two paintings on 4/16/2020. Today is 5/26/2020, still no merchandise. I have E-mailed twice and still no response. I believe the shipment comes from China because I was charged a rate exchange. Stupid me!
A $39.00 mistake! Only furthers my belief to buy USA products.

This is some sort of a scam. I ordered my product months ago and never received anything besides tons of emails trying to get me to purchase more imaginary product. They sent me a tracking number that doesn't work. I've files a claim with my bank as that's the only option I have left.

TOTAL SCAM! I wish I could give 0 stars. 7 weeks later and numerous attempts at contacting customer service, and I still have yet to receive my order OR hear back from anyone at the company.

The way they expect you to track your order (they send an excel spreadsheet and you have to sift through thousands or order numbers to try and find yours and then find the tracking number that coincides) is wildly unprofessional. Not only that, but my order number is not even on the spreadsheet, which leads me to believe that it was never processed after they took my money.

I contacted them regarding my tracking number to no avail. Then, I contacted stating that I wanted a refund or for the situation to be rectified in some manner. No answer. I am sorely disappointed in these people and that they have gotten away with stealing money from so many innocent consumers.

Awful
December 16, 2017

Don't buy from this company. I ordered on 10/3 and didn't get my order for over 60 days. It was stuck in customs, which is not listed on their website. The customer service is horrible and i would be willing to bet there is lead in the paint so watch out for children. No where does it say that these items are coming from out of the country and the customer service is unhelpful and they don't provide the refunds they say they do on their site

I ordered a paint by number from MaxNovelty and they strung me along for almost 2 months. They even kept sending emails asking how I liked my product even though I sent emails saying I never received it. I finally charged back the charge with my credit card company.

As mentioned in other reviews, your money is taken immediately and you never receive the product. They continue to send emails about other fabulous products that they have no intention of sending. Did not receive a
Response when asking when the product would be sent. I did not receive my money back either.

Scam Company
May 27, 2020

Ordered three paint by number kits on March 31st. Said 4 weeks, understandable since they are in China. After almost four weeks no tracking information was provided. Contacted customer service on 4/21 said 48 hours, no response in 48 hours so followed up. Customer service responded on 5/21 (one month late) saying they had sent my package and tracking would update in 5-7 days. Tracking says it's been processing since 4/23. This company is definitely a scam.

One star is too high! I understand during this time companies have higher than normal volume but this company is horrendous! I have sent three emails inquiring about an order I placed in 4/4/20 without any response. I never received any updates about my order or delays. I read on BBB that this company had exceedingly long delays in deliveries and poor customer service and as of 2018 they had not received a response to their inquiries. The problems with this company existed way before the pandemic! Buyer beware!

I ordered a paint by number from max novelty early September, and began contacting the company after a month without receiving the product. There were numerous excuses, and I was given a tracking number that showed the item still hadn't been shipped - and would be coming from China. At that point I asked to cancel the order and for a refund, and the company told me no refund could be given unless I returned the product that I had never received.

After over two months (the website said 7 days), the canvas and paints were eventually delivered. However, the picture was nowhere near as detailed as the online image, and is a terrible reproduction. No information about returning for a refund could be found.

I attempted to write a review on social media, but it was immediately taken down, at which point I realized there is no option available to "dislike" their product. Blatantly false advertising across the board, and a terrible product.

The worst
August 19, 2020

It is the worst company to order from.
I would never recommend it to anyone.
4 months! And my order has never arrived. I do understand the covid sytuation. However 4 months it's way too long. Hopefully they will return my money back. Oterwise I asume the Maxnovelty is very proffesional brand but only when it comes to just stealing money from people.

Scam
May 24, 2020

I wish I had read these reviews before ordering. I ordered two paintings on April 9,2020 and have yet to receive product. I have emailed their customer service several times with no response.

I will never order from a random company again without checking for reviews to save me going thru this again.

I ordered two items on March 30,2020. It is now May 8 2020 and I have not received my order. I've also reached out to customer support numerous times and it took them weeks to respond to me saying my item has shipped but there is no such indication of item being in transit. I understand that there is a delay in shipping due to COVID 19, but waiting over a month for my purchase with no hope of it getting to me and no refund offered is pretty ridiculous (I asked for a refund and they did not offer to honor my request). Oh yeah, they already charged me for the item.

I placed an order from Max Novelty mid-March, 2020. It is May 21st, and still no package! Of course my credit card was charged the day of the order. Since I hadn't heard a word about shipping details, or estimated delivery date, I sent three emails requesting information. After the first email, I was asked to be patient. I was given a tracking number and told to find that number on a list of THOUSANDS of "tracking numbers" on an obscure website, and that would inform me of where it was in the shipping process. Needless to say, it told me nothing. The second and third emails to the company didn't receive replies.
Had I taken the time to look for reviews on this company, I never would have ordered.
Good for you for checking them out first.

I ordered a painting the middle of March 2020 and have yet to receive it. I have emailed them 4 times and nothing. No response, no painting, no refund! I'm usually a review reader but I didn't this time, my mistake. Don't order from this company!

Do not be as stupid as I was -- and order from this company. Impulse buy - and you know how that can go. Very badly. Just go out and give your money to a deserving organization, not a scammer like this. You order, and wait and wait and complain and get nothing, except adds to buy more Don't! Can't add a photo - item never came.

I ordered a painting 6 weeks ago and still have not received my order. I feel bad after I ordered mine I was so excited to get the project, I forwarded the site info to my daughter and my sister and they both got scammed as well. When I emailed them they said it would take 2-3 weeks to receive. What's frustrating is I keep receiving promotional emails from them with new paintings to order.

I placed my order on March 31,2020. The estimated time of arrival that I was given was 2-4 weeks due to the pandemic. It is May 21 and I have not received my order. I have written at least four emails requesting information and have received no responses other than auto-response replies. Not only have I not received my order and lost my money, the company does not even respect me as a customer enough to reply to my emails. I would warn against ordering from this company. I wish I had seen the other warnings before I ordered.
