- RRRussell RoubinSep 6, 20251.0It pains me to write this review because I have a lot of love for Blick, but my last trip there they really messed up and it all could have been prevented by Blick with some more attention to detail and improved customer service. I was interested in custom framing during their 50% off sale. I have 5 items I wanted to get a quote on and called into the store twice before coming to confirm the sale and that I needed to come into the store for a quote (no quotes over the phone which is very reasonable). They told me both times to just come in and not a single mention of needing to make an appointment. Took 2 subways with the art to the store, got on the framing line, was then asked by the framing person if I had an appointment. I said no I didn’t know I needed one and twice on the phone was told to just come in. The employee shrugged and returned to working with her current customer. On my way out I asked the employee working at the cashier about making an appointment. They only had 1 slot left at a time that conflicted with my work schedule. I mentioned as feedback over the phone if somebody calls in about custom framing they really need to mention you need to make an appointment and its not walk in. To their credit they were apologetic but also didn’t offer any solutions. I walked over to Michael’s across the street. No appointment needed. 3 people working in framing, and when a line started they pulled somebody off the floor to help. Great experience at Michael’s compared to Blick and best of all their sale was 70% off. I will not (unfortunately) be doing any more business at Blick after this experience nor will I ever recommend them. Please take this feedback to improve your service.
