Wonderful Company

The company is very responsive to any issues & responds quickly . The issues were mine and not any fault of Welham’s , being older & not computer savy, but they responded & made sure I was able to navigate the process. I’ve had 3 home portraits done, 2 for me & this last one a gift . They are wonderful.

Your company was supposed to send me a…

Your company was supposed to send me a replacement picture to replace the original one you sent that had your logo all over it. You sent only the picture, not the frame which would have been fine except when I tried to take the original one out of the frame all of the metal pieces holding it together broke off! Very cheaply made and now I have no frame. This whole experience has been a nightmare

Hi Dawna,

We’re truly sorry, Dawna. We completely understand why you’re so frustrated, and we sincerely regret how difficult this experience has been from start to finish.

Receiving your original artwork with our logo across it was unacceptable, and we understand that receiving a replacement without a frame only added to the problem—especially after the original frame was damaged while you were trying to remove the artwork. We can appreciate how upsetting this must have been, particularly when you needed this as a closing gift for your clients and were working with a deadline.

We’ve raised your concerns with our team, and we’re arranging a replacement that includes both the artwork and a frame so you can receive a complete piece suitable for your clients. We’re very sorry that it took this much back-and-forth to get to this resolution.

You previously had a positive experience with us, which makes it especially disappointing to know that we let you down this time. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to make things right.

Lowkey a scam

Paid extra to expedite creation / delivery. Was guaranteed arrival in 10 days and it actually arrived 30 days later and missed the event that the gift was intended for. When emailing customer service I got little to no response and had to pay extra to get a digital copy to print out myself to gift (after paying for the art and expedited fee).

Hello Martha,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us—I completely understand how disappointing and frustrating this must have been, especially with your order missing a special occasion and the difficulties you faced in getting updates. I appreciate you taking the time to let us know and for your patience throughout this situation.

After carefully looking into your order, I can see there was an unexpected issue in our fulfillment process that led to the late delivery. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience and the added stress this caused.

To clarify, the “Skip the Queue” option is intended to prioritize your artwork in our design process, but it does not include faster shipping. While it helps ensure your order moves up in production, the delivery timeframe still depends on the shipping method selected at checkout.

We recognize that, regardless of this, your overall experience—with both delays and communication—fell short of what you should expect from us. Your feedback is very important and will help us improve our service and support going forward.

Our team has already reached out to you by email as we’d truly like to help resolve this for you. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and for giving us the chance to make things right.

Worst company ever!!!

After communicating via email for weeks letting them know I was unhappy with their final product and did not wish to purchase it, this company charged me anyway. Now, they have taken it a step further and actually physically shipped me the product that they knew well in advance I did not want. They have no phone number to call, the only way you can communicate with them is via email where they will delay, play dumb and do everything they an to avoid issuing a refund. They do not want happy customers, they want your money and that is all they care about.

I would stay as far away from this company as possible. Not only are their products poor quality, they are bad and deceitful people that do not operate ethically.

Hi Casey,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. Our intention is never to make any customer feel unheard or pressured into keeping a product they are unhappy with.

We would like to clarify that our ordering process, including the automatic charge after proof approval or after the review period has passed without requested changes, is disclosed during checkout as part of our effort to remain transparent with all customers. However, we also understand that policies do not change the fact that you were dissatisfied with the final artwork and overall experience.

We sincerely apologize if our communication came across as dismissive or delayed. We understand your disappointment and recognize that your experience did not meet the level of service we aim to provide.

We have also reached out to you via email in hopes of resolving this matter directly and finding a fair resolution for your concerns.

Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we never want any customer to feel ignored or deceived. We appreciate your feedback and regret that your experience left you feeling this way.

Please think twice before using Welham…

Please think twice before using Welham & Co to create something special for you. Their website is not transparent. The conditions placed on your order are buried in the FAQs page. Since I placed my order, their front ‘Shop’ page has been changed, and it now has placed a few FAQs there, which were not there before. If you think the portraits are hand painted, alluded to by their statement ‘Every artwork is created by our artists’ and showing a paint palate beside it, you will be wrong. The artwork is digitally created. I was not notified that a proof was ready to view on two separate occasions. I received a final framed copy without my approval, without changes I wanted made.
It states if I am not happy with the artwork after a proof is sent, and the portrait is still not what I envisioned, a 100% money back guarantee is available. I did not approve my proof, the ‘artwork’ is absolutely horrible, and I have requested a refund of the $152 I paid up front, yet they are not listening to me and fobbing me off when it comes to a refund. I will report to Fair Trading and place my comments on any platform to warn people, the chances are you won’t get what you want.
This is what my portrait result has been. Positively awful!

Hi Susan, 

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the expectations you had for such a meaningful portrait, and we completely understand how important it is to feel confident and happy with the final result.

We always aim to be as transparent as possible about our process, and we’d like to clarify that all of our artworks are digitally created based on the photos provided by our customers. This information is included within our FAQs, where we explain that our portraits are designed digitally by our artists to closely resemble a traditional hand-painted piece.

We’re also very sorry to hear that you did not receive or see the proof notifications sent during the review stage. Our system automatically sends proof emails and follow-up reminders before any automatic approval takes place, but we completely understand how frustrating it must feel if those notifications were missed and you didn’t have the opportunity to request the changes you wanted before production moved forward.

Your feedback regarding the final result is something we take seriously, and we genuinely regret that the portrait did not meet your expectations. While our process allows for unlimited revisions during the proofing stage, we understand your concern that this opportunity was not completed in your case.

We would still very much like the opportunity to help make this right. If you’re willing, please send us photos of the final framed portrait you received so our team can carefully review the concerns you’ve raised and look into possible next steps with you.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we continue improving both our service and customer experience.
