This was a fair honest review, Do NOT take it down! People will respect an honest review over one full of fluff! I think you presented it well and that's all you can do!
Leave video up. You were asked to do an unboxing/review not a commercial.
I'd leave it up as a "Buyer Beware" video. It might save someone from the scam.
you have earned my respect today and a new subscriber i have looked at the website and found them over priced and now watching you i will never buy frim them i am a newbie so thank you again i admire what you did
I buy mine from wish it's so much cheaper
Wikked Lilone
Is wish good to great value? How are the drills and canvas when you get them?
Don't change a thing Rachel. As i was saying just this morning as a comment to one of Mrs. Coffee's video's, i am so appreciative of unboxing and review videos. I'm a newbie and since i started doing DP-ing, i must have watched hundreds of videos for tips, advice and recommendations. Your efforts SAVE the viewers from making mistakes and that will always be a good thing. So, despite how disappointing the canvas and the customer service was, thank you for making the video and sharing.
Hello Rachel! Thank you so much for doing this video! In my opinion, DO NOT take it down! This is the kind of stuff I look for as a diamond painter. I look for the stores people love, the ones they hate, the ones who have good and bad customer service, etc. Bottom line, you got a crappy product and crappy service. MY OPINION, they disrespected you so you should feel good knowing that you dont have time for them! Thank you again for the video! 😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️
I appreciate the honesty. Don't take it down. We need the truth.
I’m so glad you watched the China mail videos. I couldn’t believe it. Anyway please do not take this down. I respect honest reviews over fluff just so CZcamsrs can get free diamond paintings. We pay for every one of ours and people like you show us where to spend our hard earned money. So thank you for your honest opinions about the company’s. I was taught if something seems too good to be true it usually is. You just saved a lot of diamond painters not only money but heartache. I honestly believe many companies send out the canvases with the rivers and bubbles more so now than before because we can repair them and unfortunately many people don’t contact the company or send items back with these flaws for that very reason. In my opinion companies send out substandard products because there aren’t many people who return them. They just repair them.
Adorable! I love the chipmunk voice when you were counting.
Thank you for leaving this video up. I am new to Diamond Painting and would have missed it otherwise. Honesty is the best policy and I am a new subscriber as of now.
Thanks! Welcome to the party!
Please leave it up. As a new DP person, I appreciate knowing which companies are worth my money$$$ I appreciate your frankness as well as the teaching that you do! Thanks for the video. (I realize you posted this months ago, but wanted you to know I do find it relevant.)
I agree with the other comments please do not take this video down, you have given an honest non biased review and for that we thank you. It’s unfortunate that items that we purchase are not in top condition when we receive them, either they are damaged in production or during the postage period. We cannot control the postal services unfortunately but we would like to think that what we are paying good money for would be produced with care with no defects. As you have demonstrated this does not always happen.
Chinese shipping is the cause of the barely bent box? You know how much it goes through US shipping once it arrives in the US? Lord. I saw another review for the same company and it was great.
Hi Sam, I don't live in the US. Also, I think it's important to share the positive and negative about companies, and I'm not sure if you saw, but I did complete this painting as well. You can see what my final thoughts are here: czcams.com/video/KpUV-gYmjN4/video.html
I’ve seen a few folks review their paintings, and not a single good kit. Crappy canvases all around. Thank you for letting us know your honest opinion of this company! ❤️
I'm very new to this type of crafting and I appreciate your videos and how you showed the creases and flaws so I know what to look for. So thank you very much. Plus I want to add that I dont have a lot of money to spend, and it helps to know what to look for.
I'm so glad I found this in 2021 as I've been tempted to buy from them but something has held me back. Thank you for your honesty
The tic tac boxes fall over when you remove some to use. They get disorganized. I fixed that easily by cutting 1-1/2” strips from a manila folder and creating blocks of four boxes. In a 64 ct. box, I cut three of the 1-1/2” strips the width of the box and three strips the depth of the box, then I measured four boxes across (do this three times per long strip) and cut the 1-1/2” side more than halfway through. Cut the short strips more than halfway through the 1-1/2” side, between each box from front to back(so three cuts per strip). Then intersect the cuts (like in kindergarten with paper chains) to create a four by four grid inside the box. This will keep the boxes secure and in order. It is faster to do than to describe.
I bought a 3 tier container with those "tictac" size boxes (on Amazon & it came with a few tools) & I think they're great for the shiny rhinestone type drills/crystals, since you'll have a lot less than regular drills & a few leftover of the larger size crystals (from coasters, bookmarks, small bags, etc)
Thanks for info I would be very up set if my canvus came that rencle.lot of money keep up the nice work God bless.
Wtf is rencle
That really is a pretty picture. I enjoy your video's because you are honest and stay impartial when you do a review. That takes gumption to stick to what is fair and truly honest without prejudice and I admire that very much. It is so helpful to be able to watch these video's rather than wander around totally lost and unsure where to buy our paintings from. Thank you Rachel!
I realize that it’s been a couple of months since you posted this review but I agree with the others that said you should leave it up. Diamond painters/consumers need to be warned about the potential for this to happen to them.
Do not take the video down!! The truth should be known, especially those who are new to the community. I see a lot of companies advertise that I feel are probably just like this, so I don't bother to order from them.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 💖💖
I very much appreciate a Buyer Beware like this! Yes, you should leave it up, absolutely!! Thank you for the heads up!! God Bless.💜
You are very honest and your reviews are super helpful. Thankyou so much and please do not take this down.
Leave it up. Im glad I got to see your review and it was insightful and honest
.TFS I also am glad you did the review for Dispaint bumble bee because I didnt know what size would be best to wrestle with.
Hi Rachel, no please leave that video up. I am new to the craft and appreciate every bit of information I can get where to buy and where not to. You have been very fair in your review and do a professional job. Very much appreciated.
I absolutely wouldn't remove your video, they asked you to do an honest review, and you did exactly that! If they didn't research the factory from which they were buying the product, or intentionally chose to sell substandard kits, people deserve to know, and you have done your part in fulfilling your obligation. It sounds like this seller, may be having many difficulties, and are possibly on their way out anyway, but considering they're selling at DAC prices, with dollar store quality, your review was more than fair!
I'm sorry that it's damaged and you may not be able to enjoy the image you love so much, but great job on the review! There is definitely something to be said for the top notch quality and customer service provided by Diamond Art Club!
Ok so this is over a year old, which I get....I just got a beautiful DP from this company, and it was packaged perfectly.....the diamond tool does now have a multi placer....my canvas was not wrinkled at all, (a plus) and the photo and legend were dark and well seen. I will however note that MY Painting was mailed with in the USA and NOT from China.....so they have some items that ship only from the USA, which I prefer. I know longer order any products from China....only from the USA....I think it makes a huge difference. Love your channel, love your tips, and love this hobby....
I agree with those below who think this is a good , fair and honest review video. I would be concerned by the sounds of silence from the reseller, given that *they* approached *you*, and not vice versa. If they don't provide stellar service to someone who they courted, then how can any of the rest of us expect our concerns to be addressed?? Keep up the good work, and leave this video up. If they resolve the issue to your satisfaction, a quick update would be great.
I totally agree with your assessment of the product and there was no customer service ! For what you payed, I don't blame you !
I think this video is good for people who are new to diamond painting so they know how bad the quality and customer service is.
As someone interested in diamond painting, I appreciate your honesty. I don't know which companies are reputable or how much it's an appropriate amount to pay. Thank you. New subscriber.
Leave it up so that way everyone knows who is not a good seller to buy from !!! Thanks for that
Please DO NOT TAKE THIS DOWN! When you do these videos, they help all of us! This video will allow me to order from that/any company with some knowledge of what I am get into. Please continue to be honest and forthcoming, for your video’s help us all. Thank you!
You just earned a new subscriber I like honestly and the fact I almost brought from this company thx
Please do not take down. For us newbies, videos like this are very helpful. Thank you for your honesty.
I’m glad you shared. Having input on stores that are popping up is great - I like the honesty and feel we diamond painters have been far too accepting of sub par canvases and diamonds. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for your great input on companies to buy or in this case not buy from. I appreciate all the work you put into your viedos.
My pleasure!
I like your honest review. I just getting into this awesome craft and I love to hear what you think and educate us new one and also the seasoned dp people.
Rachel...I would not take this video down at all. I am very new to the Diamond Painting craze, and you were the first person I found when searching CZcams to get advise, tips and information from. One of the reasons I subscribed and continued watching your channel is that you are honest and I feel as though I can trust the advise you give. In this situation, you have done nothing but provided the cold hard truth regarding a company that asked you to review them. However, you have also provided guidance to those of us who are new and trying to find reputable companies to buy from. I will make sure that I pay very close attention to the companies I look into now because of your video and review. So thank you for your honesty! In the world we live in today, honest in any form is appreciated and commendable.
I say leave it up. You were fair and truthful and that is what we want to see in a review. I hope they contact you and maybe make up for some of their substandard customer service. Thanks for the intel...I'll add them to my "no buy" list for now.
Thanks for all you do.
Thank you very much for your honesty. That’s why we watch.
I want to thank you Rachel for doing this video for us. I depend on these to help me choose which stores are the best to shop from. There are so many of them, some bad and some good but how do you know which ones will give the best service. We know because of people like you who take the time to find out and let us decide what we think so once again I thank you for having the courage to be open and honest no matter what. Please leave this video up for others to see.
Thank you for much for this fair and honest review. I have been watching your videos all day because my children gave 'Nana' a kit to do (I think they forget I take care of 3 grandchildren all day, no time to get bored!). I had never seen diamond painting before and wanted to see what I'm in for. Fortunately the piece I was given is small and I feel much more prepared. I am the only women in my family without a handcraft, which is often poo pood (but I am a fanstastic cook). I have subscribed to your site and look forward to learning more. Thank you - Cathy F. USA
Glad you decided to double checked shoppe, and made athe decision to not recommend them. Best part you gave the Artist a clearance on how great work she does. I am so new that you explain how things really work . Thanks Rachael💐
Hi Rachel. Thank you for letting all of us know about this company. You were honest and fair if the truth hurts then it's to bad. They need too get there act together . I'm new at this I got 4 dp from different companies and was not happy. So now I watch dp videos to learn as much as I can from a lot of you.
Thank you for the honest feedback! Glad you kept the video up! 💙
You are so welcome!
I found the website Mydiamondpaintings.com... Then i googled the name and this video came up.. THANK YOU. 1 for doing this review and 2. for not taking it down. You just saved me the pain of buying from them and gained a new sub.
Thanks shellie. Welcome! I'm glad to have helped. 💜
I have the 64 pc storage box and it’s not terrible at all. I also purchased a case from amazon with 80+ containers and netting on the opposite side to hold the tools. Overall works pretty well!
This was a great honest video, I appreciate honesty a lot more then BS to appease people... Keep up the great work... I also use the tic tac holders for my left over DAC diamonds
First time viewer, stumbled across by accident and glad I did.
Firstly, the tic tac boxes. I love them, in fact I love them so much I bought 11. I use 10 to store drills in and they fit perfectly into my mobile make up case that I use for my DP stuff. The 11th box I use for my "Current project" and that lives in the top section.
As for the project. As someone new to this hobby (Im on my 3rd, I think these are great. Yes, they are cheap and cheap nearly always means lower quality, But it has a lot of pluses. Each bag, I assume, contains 200 drills and I know I can get 5 or 6 bags comfortably into one of the tic tac boxes. Im a bigger fan of square drills rather than round. Yes there are better projects out there but I think for the money these are great. Ive bought a lot of things from Chinese suppliers and one thing that is consistent is that their customer service is usually somewhere between very poor and non existent. However, with prices that are usually about 80%-90% than a UK supplier its usually worth the risk.
As for your review. I thought it was great. You haven't told us to buy it or not to buy it but you have pointed out pluses and negatives of the design and for me that's appreciated.
I would send it back with sharpie Marks around the issues
Thank you for your honesty. I am new at diamond painting. I would not take down the video. Spreading the word. Thank you so much. Your an awesome lady
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this company and explaining the review process. Hope you do hear from them, because customer service is the foundation of repeat customers and in this case, new customers! Keep us posted!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was actually looking at that website at the cheaper paintings!
I recently ordered a canvas from Amazon seller Runfar who sent it, from China, in an unpadded plastic garbage type bag. No box at all, not even a product box.. The post office folded it in half in the mailbox. It was crimped, bent, wadded up and smashed. I explained that it should be sent in a box or tube and they are refusing to refund or exchange. Amazon will make good on it, of course. But having to hassle with a badly packaged item is ridiculous. I am glad you are not tolerating it.
Thank you for saving the rest of us from getting conned & for calling them out! It's time for all DP companies to bring their kits up to par or get out of the business! 👍
I agree with everyone else, leave it up! I haven't gotten into this craft as of yet, your videos are very educational for someone like myself. Thank you for your time, expertise and honesty 💟
I’ve had this problem with a place called Spring DE on aliexpress,had two bad canvases from them spent good money, and they want you to try all these ideas to make the canvas work......thank for your info....stuck with drills and no painting!
I've bought the tic tac boxes from 2 different shops. One was a little broken and it took me ages and a lot of asking to get them to send me a replacement. I haven't received the other ones yet. And they hold quite a lot actually, at least a 1000 drills!
I've also noticed a few companies using green background for 310 and to honest I actually like it, because it makes it way easier to see grid lines. But I can see how some people might not like it because you can't see how the image will look like when finished. Sad to hear that the canvas is so bad though...
I bought the tic tac boxed from homecraftology and they are absolutely awful. The box arrived broken and the boxes do not hold much at all honestly. They are a waste of money. I had to message homecraftology about it arriving broken and they sent a replacement and that one arrived in worse shape than the first one. I now use the darice Elizabeth ward bead storage trays with the containers that come with it and they hold a a lot especially for the size of the containers and they arrive in perfect condition. I will never again purchase those horrible tic tac containers again.
Do not take it down! You gave a honest review and that is what we want from you! :-) Love ya girl!
First time viewer: I want you to know how much you sound like Sarah Michelle gellar to me.. and I love it!🖤
I am so glad you did this video. I am now addicted to doing DPs and have received several many painting kits that do not include an inventory list. I’ve received kits with missing drills, wrong color drills. Response time has been very slow with some of the companies so I bought drills from an Etsy shop so that I could complete my paintings.
Thanks Rachel for this unboxing. I really appreciate your upfront & straightforward review.
You tell it how it is and that is how it should be, so no don't take it down, people need to see this so it doesn't happen to them tfs hugs Cal x
Please do not take this down. I’m new to Diamond Painting and this is very important in a “buyer beware” way! Thank you Rachel.
I think for sure leave the video up, it's important to put this kind of stuff out there so we know. and you've been very respectful in talking about the treatment and quality issues w/ the kit!
Ad: there were only 2 eggos and there are 3 of us. You understand?
*skip*
Rachel: i understand...
Me: lol
LOL
Thank you for the heads up. Keep the video. I'm glad you didn't lose any money.
Aww that’s really sucks about the canvas, company etc. Its a very pretty picture and I hope we do get to see it completed.
Top notch quality is not important to the seller. What a shame. Good job! Very informative to me!
I am glad your boxes arrived safely. I purchased two off aliexpress. Both arrived broken. One so badly cracked it was useable. Basically did my money.
Thank you so much for this video! I just purchased my first diamond painting, it’s not the same company, but I know it’s coming directly from China. I hope mine isn’t creased!
I appreciate you reviewing products it warns people like me not to get ripped off!
Thank you, Candie. I'm glad to be of help!
I would definitely leave it up without you doing this video someone might have got scammed thanks for your honesty
Hello Rachel, please leave the video up. They wanted a review and you gave an honest review. You could be saving someone a lot of money because they watched this video.
The fact that they haven't gotten back to you or adding product to their site is definitely a red flag.
You have done a fantastic job here. I too love the picture.
Jesus bless you and yours, Lin ✝️🐶🐶🐶🐶🐢🐦🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎💖🦒🐧🐲🤗
Great video , I’m new at this very addictive art so this was very informative . Thank you love your work .
How refreshing for an honest review and you should definitely keep this video up. You'd have thought they'd be bending over backwards to present themselves in as positive a manner as possible knowing that this video would become free advertising for them. It speaks volumes that such a poor canvas was sent, and the total lack of any customer service is incredible for a promotional piece. I do hope you can fix the canvas and that the finished painting at least brings you some joy. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
Leave it up please. I just got my first painting two days ago,I knew nothing about this kind of stuff,I thought that all companies were all the same.thank you for posting this video and making me aware of what to watch for. By the way I really enjoyed the videos I've seen so far,I'm a fan in the making I've learned so much😊
Thanks, Julie!
Leave it up! They’re not responding to you speaks volumes. After a custom I ordered came with double adhesive ( no indication at ordering time) the 12x12 cm was riddled with with a couple of dozen very large River. Another company that I spent $53 on a canvas the symbol color did not match the color on the canvas and neither of them matched the drill color. 3 differential colors for a dmc number, very confusing. Some of the symbol printing was very faded and one particular symbol was extremely blurry I had to use a magnifying glass to figure it out. I had drills popping and was constantly resetting drills. I finally just put the canvas away. When someone was talking about the company, I politely gave my opinions based on the facts of the canvas. Some got very nasty and attacked me defending the company. I personally appreciate a honest and fair opinion. It saves me from buying from companies that sell poor quality products. I’m
Thank you for this professional video. I just started doing DP and order from the web site from which you received this canvas. I’m hoping mine does not come damaged.
Thank you for your honesty and warning!
I think it important to let people know what your experience is. It is useful for me! Thank you.
30 days from purchase means by the time it shipped to you, you’re stuck with it cause it takes 27 days to get there. Great review!
I hope you don't take this video down. I wish more channels would do a completely honest review. I appreciate your frankness.
If you put comment on their FaceBook page and you will get a response pretty quick, I had to do that with the 2 customs I ordered from them. They got lost in the mail somewhere. I am working on another custom from them which came in pretty good condition, but yes they are hard work to contact
Thank you for your honesty!
Definitely keep the video on. I wouldn’t be buying from that company again, but I would do the painting! It was free, and it will be a very pretty piece!
I think this is such an important video. Over the last week, you have been my go-to for anything diamond painting. I would have been furious, to pay so much for a canvas and have them completely ignore every attempt to fix the issue. Shame on them.
That's the most beautiful intro I've ever seen 🤯
Thank you!
Much respect for doing this.
You did a good thing to tell us about these people that are no good and sorry about how they treated you but they should do the right thing.
I agree...your opinion is valuable, thanks
Good video keep it up. People need to be aware. Great picture though
Don't take it down. You gave your honest review. Plus we need to know which company's to stay away from
Thank you for posting this. You have given an honest review which will save someone lots of time and money. Hopefully the company will listen to your review lol.
Also don't apologise for using the word torch, not everyone is from the US and may not know the word flashlight. Imo people doing reviews should just say the item as they would normally.
Thanks again Rachel.
I have these.. & they will hold 5 bags...I love em !!!
Thank you, Glenda! I had no idea 💜
Keep it up In my opinion. Thank you Rachel🤗
Hello! I did my first diamond painting from Diamond Dotz, and it turned out lovely. I have all these extra little beads. Are they recyclable? I'd like to recycle anywhere I can. Thanks for your help!
Yes, I recommend recycling them. There are other things you can do too. Please watch this! czcams.com/video/Yih3U56YVY8/video.html
