Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Cute designs and good canvas, but thin paints and odd shipping. Takes forever to arrive and two have come creased or damaged.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Awful. I ordered 2 canvases and 2 premium brush sets. I only received the canvases. I have sent 3 emails and left a voicemail. I am still waiting. Where are my brushes??

Will take forever to arrive.

I ordered it on February 7. Its now March 17 and it still hasn't arrived. I get that it might not have arrived by Valentines day, but even if it was a bit late, it shouldn't take over a month to deliver within the US. The tracker says it was in Grapevine Texas on February 14. But thats a 2½ hour drive from me.

In fact, it turns out you can walk from NYC to Grapevine Texas in a month. Ive messaged them with no response thus far. Would not recommend.

Place orders well in advance, it might take awhile to get to you

Quality of the canvas and frame is great but the time from placing the order to delivery is painstakingly slow. Would’ve rated higher otherwise.

Crafty as in “Sly”

Crafty as in “Sly”! DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS SITE. I ordered a custom paint by numbers canvas on January 12th. Estimated delivery was February 20th. It has not been delivered and there is no estimated delivery date on the tracking site. They state 24/7 customer service. I you send them a message you may receive a response from “Mary Rose” within 2 or 3 days. I doubt that they are really at the address in Delaware as noted on the website. They promise Priority Shipping. They use Yanwen from China. Could not be slower and I believe my order is lost. No effort on the part of Crafty by Numbers to make things right. If I could have given no stars I would have. SHOP ELSEWHERE.

Basically the same as ordering off wish or any other cheap Chinese equivalent, will it come? Won’t it come? Takes an absolute lifetime to arrive, still waiting for mine to arrive. Guess it’s on me for thinking it’s a legitimate business not just a middleman passing your order detail to some factory in china and send it via ship like Wish.

Poor customer service and unresponsive…

Poor customer service and unresponsive despite advertising themselves with 24/7 chat. Regret making the purchase. I purchased this a customised painting hoping for Valentine's Day delivery. I ordered the painting but realised I had made a mistake so reached out to the company through email and Instagram. No response until 18 hours later (not the 24/7 service as advertised). The response did not address my issue. Moreover, the company provided no details of the time it took to deliver the product - I did not realise until 1 day after the purchase that it would take 1 month to deliver! So no longer a Valentine's Day present then...

This is a scam

This is a scam. This is pure dropshipping from China. You are better by ordering through Temu/Aliexpress.
When I realized this I asked them to cancel my order. They ignored and only replied when they had already shipped it.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SHOP.

First time getting this craft

First time getting this craft, it was really good. Some of the numbers were hard to see, so I put my own twist on it.
I'd switch on music 90s mainly and paint away after my dinner each night..

Replaced delivery…

Ordered a kit in November which never arrived due to yodel leaving in an unsafe place. Emails going back and forth between myself and Rose Mary requesting a refund etc and after reading other reviews on here I was concerned I’d lost my money as she was saying another had been sent out, but I had little faith it would arrive. To redress the balance I have to say we did finally receive a replacement kit 2 January, and also a refund - so whilst it was a lengthy process and frustrating at times it was eventually sorted.

Horrible Experience

Ordered on December 10th. As of Jan 4th, still don't have it. Communication is 1 sided, bad experience all round. Do yourself a favor and shop somewhere else.

Wish I had done my due diligence and researched them more thoroughly.

No exchanges or refunds allowed

Think twice before ordering from this company. I received a paint by numbers kit for Christmas and I don't like the print. I contacted the company to exchange for a different print. I was told it's not exchangeable or refundable because it's "custom." It's a top print that you could order 10 more of right now - nothing custom about it. Also their FB page says easy returns in 30 days. What a dishonest and fraudulent way of doing business. Definitely do not order a gift from this company.

Buyer Beware...

Waited a month to ship only to be notified it was sent but to the wrong address. They even sent a picture of the wrong house. They haven't replied and simply blame the courier company as to wipe their hands clean of responsibility to resolve. Now, they are trying to avoid giving me a refund.
