They now only pay 5% to their artists 10% on a very few items. Non-stop sales and artists make even less. Exploitation.
Update 09/18/23: Society 6 made full refund (less shipping costs), of course after this review was posted! Sad they didn't do that in the first place.
Recently purchased king duvet cover, shams and matching shower curtain. Arrived with dark brown print blotches in various areas on it. When requesting refund they indicated it was exactly like their picture on web site! Only offered a 20% discount. These items are unusable because they look like crap and I lost $205.00.
As above, but this is not the first time this has happened. Beware, there is no customer service phone number to call, you have to send an email, then hope they respond.
Their T shirts are flimsy & poorly printed, their throws feel nice & soft until you wash them a few times, then they pill.
I see a ton a bad reviews here. I've bought several items from society6 over the past 4 or so years, and I've maybe been disappointed once with a clock that started to lag after a year. I've bought tote bags, bath mats, and other items, and generally I've liked them. I see reviews that say this is all overpriced, which is ridiculous to me if you want customized items. Custom means it costs more. If you're looking for cheap stuff it's not going to be customized.
Imagine you need blackout curtains and have something in mind. It's a nightmare to keep your search on track. You can either just scroll for days through every single option you would never want or else the system will keep throwing you back to all kinds of mugs and cups and other products you can't use … it won't let you just STAY on blackout curtains and narrow searches within that. The artists are great, but the technology is too stunted to find what you need.
I was actually pretty disappointed. I love that it's a canvas material and the make them by order. But for the price the print image should be more vibrant rather than dull and a bleeding look. White area also looks grayish/ murky.
I finally did Christmas shopping early and I am being punished for doing so. Gift given after 90 days. Ripped immediately, but can't return since past 90 days. Moral don't shop too early Avoid pillows. Poor quality.
I ordered 2 tapestries. They aren't what I'd call "tapestry". They're see-through. The fabric feels like a thin cheap bed sheet. Not worth the money. I wanted to hide a small accent wall I'm not allowed to paint. But you could see through to the color and pattern. Disappointing.
Just awful! I ordered a painting size 24/36, framed. So the painting itself was tiny and the white paper around it was huge, so that the size of the frame would be 24/36. The frame itself was made terribly and it fell apart before I could hang the painting. Terribly made, unbelievable! Getting in touch with the company is also a big problem: you cannot email them and there is no phone number as well. Cheapest material, poorly made and cheating with size
I purchased a bench one and was charged for two. I emailed the company explain something went wrong. I only want one and asked to return slip it the same day they arrived. I was then emailed No refunds. This is horrible.
I was wanting a William Morris bed spread comforter and I found this on society 6 web site, I also ordered pillows because I loved the William Morris artist design. The pillows were fabulous but the comforter was awful. All out of scale even the colors were nothing like the web site pictures, so now I have wonderful pillows but nothing to match it to use on my bed,
Buyer beware photos on the web site are nothing like the finished product.
Thus was so very disappointing, I will not buy from this company again.
False advertising is used in the web site. The first photo is what was suppose to get. The second picture is what this cheap comforter looked like. The scale of the fabric is all deluded and the quality is like something from the dollar store. Very poor deceptive advertising.
The site looks neat and all, but when I became a paid member and was trying to sell my art, the pages would run with major errors, both on the phone and on the computer, that occurred over and over after continued attempts to resolve. Communicating with the service personnel via email was all right, but I was not satisfied with the fact the actual problems were not pointed out and dealt with in a clear and direct way. The issues had to do with editing items in the artist studio as well as the webpages themselves not loading properly which hindered even approaching my shop correctly. I wanted to share my experience, for people looking for effective online services to sell their art in ways other than traditional, as I was. Society6 is not one that I would recommend, all the more when you're to subscribe and pay however small the amount may be.
Wow, terrible. Ordered 8x10" art prints that arrived as 7.68x10" that didn't fit into the 8x10" frames I purchased. They refused to replace them since variation "within a fraction of an inch" is normal.
Excuse me? 8x10" is an exceedingly common print size and it's the one advertised on the page. I understand mistakes in the print job can happen, but the correct course of action would be to send a reprint in the case of an error. But accordingly to them "with a replacement, there is a chance you will receive a size variation," which I guess is another way of saying "We don't do quality control."
I bought 3 cotton totes from them 2 years ago. The fabric is great, plus a full separate cotton lining. I just ordered 2 more, which are a stiff, thin, cotton bonded to a cotton backing. It's a much cheaper quality.
I will not buy from them again. I'd rather pay a more for a quality product.
My art print arrived damaged as the packaging was bent and torn. I emailed Society6 customer service about the issue and I received a replacement in the mail two days later. I appreciate the prompt service. The art prints are very high quality and reasonably priced.
I ordered a rug from Society 6. They sent it to the wrong city and address. When they finally sent me the right item to the correct address it arrived. The colors of the rug all ran into each other. Absolutely unable to use. A piece of garbage. They refused to refund my money saying I was too late to put in for a refund. I'm elderly and had been in the hospital and was unable to unroll it in a timely manner. I bought stools there and they were not in any way the same as pictured in their photos.
Difficult to get them to listen, help and actually understand the issue. They offer payment through Amazon, which we all know allows returns on all items - but when I made this point to Sociaty6 they still pretty much said "tough luck". Very unwilling to help in anyway. They should be called sociaty zero in my opionion - I will never ever buying anything from these guys again.
You must post at least a 4 star review or they will not publish it. The prints I received were much darker than the website indicated and the artists website. I am familiar with this artist and her color palette so I was surprised. I can understand some color difference but as you can see from the photo it is extreme. Picture shown is held up to my monitor which is high definition and calibrated as I am a graphics designer. The other pic is of a smudge. They also came rolled tightly and the effort it took to flatten them left the paper misshapen. In the sites defense, I did not attempt to return but honestly, I didn't think reprints would look any different and decided to make do with what I had.
I got this cute mushroom yoga mat. My personal recommendation is not to buy one- they quality is poor and after only a couple of months, it's already torn. The pieces that come off get all over my clothes, the yoga studio floor, and the overall design no longer looks good.
I ordered two duvet covers & four pillowcases back in November to be shipped to the UK. They were then lost by the shipping company. Customer Services (via Live Chat) were very helpful and arranged for replacements to be sent - when they did arrive, the printing was vivid & good quality. Now I have some unique (for UK) and beautiful bedding in bright colours - most shop choices atm are too boring. Would use again.

Answer: I'm sorry for the delay responding to you on this. Unfortunately, we're unable to charge import taxes before hand. So you would have to cover duties since the shipment would be coming from the United States. I would definitely recommend checking with Canadian Customs to see what the requirements are for charging duties and break your order up into smaller orders. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Support in the link at the top of our SiteJabber Page.
Answer: Hi Christine, Thank you so much for reaching out. I'm going to investigate and follow up with you via email in just a few minutes.
