I ordered some drawing pencils and paid for overnight shipping .6 days later they finally delivered them but not to me. The porch pic is of someone else's porch. Not a good experience, my daughter needed these for her college class.

This company is beyond real, I order 2 items that listed available, and I had a big order and mostly were gifts for Xmas and I was traveling so dates are imp. They ship all the items except for 2 And they fail to mention that these 2 items were on back order.I receive an email a week later saying sorry these items didn't ship. I complain, they said they made a mistake Ans didn't update their system, buy dont worry we will ship one of the items soon. Today they shipped it and charged me 15.75 $ shipping for one tube of paint that fosted 14$?! And I had free shipping with the initial order, so noni got screwed with it. I have been using this shop for a long time, but this was beyond anything I experienced with an open shop! Ill never be using their shop again! Be aware

Drove down for a one day sale, had been shopping via online web site. I had never been in one the Dick Blick stores before. I enjoyed the drive down and driving in Portland. I found on the street parking close by the store, there are parking meters, feed the machine and put your receipt in the passenger’s side window, it is meter controlled until 7PM. I went in the store and was greeted at the door with a hello and offer to help me find what I needed. We found what I was looking for and got it at a very good price. I had a coupon and it was honored for all the products I was shopping for. The employees are great, they are helpful, they know the product it was fun shopping at Dick Blick Art Materials in Portland, Oregon. Portland is over 100 miles from where I live and shopping there made to drive worth it!
