yet another order made in plenty of time for christmas! only to be told today that due to 'increased sales at this time of year' BS email!! when asking where it is!!
It's not like anyone forget Christmas is coming and it gets very busy at this time of year! If I didnt know better I would say this a company 'portraying' to be operating in the UK, when in fact they ship everything from I'm guessing China!!
very poor show! very poor customer service! YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK TO ALL THE RECENT NEG- REVIEWS FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE!!

Dear Paul James,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused, especially as your order was intended to arrive in time for Christmas. We fully understand how upsetting it is when delivery expectations are not met during such an important period.
The message you received regarding increased order volumes reflects the reality of the peak seasonal demand, which can unfortunately place additional strain on production and delivery schedules. That said, we acknowledge that this does not lessen the inconvenience you have experienced, and we sincerely apologise for the delay and for the way this situation has made you feel about our service.
We take customer feedback very seriously, including recent reviews, and we are actively reviewing our processes and communication to prevent similar experiences in the future. It is never our intention to disappoint or to give the impression of poor customer care.
We would appreciate the opportunity to look into your specific order and provide you with clear, up-to-date information. Please contact our support team directly at support@houseart.uk, including your order number, and we will do our best to assist you further.
Thank you again for your feedback. We are sorry that your experience has fallen short of expectations.
Kind regards,
The Houseart Team
Stop pretending you're in the UK!
Like other reviewers, I was fooled by the company's name and domain (along with the estimated delivery time of 7-15 days) implying that they're based in the UK. I was really annoyed to receive a Chinese tracking number - I wouldn't have ordered from them if I'd known, since it's now clearly not going to arrive in time for Christmas and the carbon footprint is going to be ridiculous.
I haven't received the item yet, so it's too early to comment on the quality, or to tell if it's an actual scam, but it's clearly dodgy as hell.
Stop lying to your customers and pretending you're in the UK. Give us the opportunity to decide for ourselves if we want to order something internationally or not.

Beware! Orders come from China.
This company’s website does not state that orders are despatched from China. It’s reasonable to assume that this would not be the case as the name of the company is Houseart UK. I’m yet to receive an order placed 11 December that contains items needed for Christmas presents the day after tomorrow. The tracking link provided with confirmation of the order takes me to a service I’ve never heard of that wants me to sign up to pay £9.99 per month to track parcels. No thanks! After a lot of digging, I’ve established that the order was handed to Evri for air transit from China on 21 December. Evri’s website does not recognise either the tracking number or order number so I’ve no idea whether the items will arrive in time. Be very careful ordering from this company as it may not be what it seems.

Dear d read,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry for the frustration and concern this situation has caused.
We would like to clarify that our product range includes both personalised (custom-made) items and non-personalised items.
Personalised products are made individually based on customer requirements, while some standard products are ready-made. For this reason, production and dispatch times may vary depending on the item ordered.
We never require customers to pay any subscription fee to track their orders. Some third-party tracking platforms may display optional paid services, which are not affiliated with us. For accurate updates, customers are always welcome to contact us directly.
We are very sorry that your order did not arrive in time for Christmas, and we completely understand how disappointing this is, especially when the items were intended as gifts.
Please contact us directly at support@houseart.uk with your order number. Our team will review your case promptly and work with you toward a fair and satisfactory solution.
Thank you again for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and are continuously working to improve transparency and customer experience.
Yours sincerely,
Houseart Team
Avoid, doesn’t deliver!
Ordered on 16 November for a Christmas present, thought a UK site from the name. No delivery, ignoring emails. Avoid!
Well, I’ve been contacted to say I cancelled this order in November and compensation was offered! Why would you offer compensation and not issue a refund? What lies! Have now been given a refund.

We are glad to hear that the refund has now been successfully issued. Please rest assured that your concerns have been taken seriously, and we are reviewing our processes to prevent similar situations in the future.
We appreciate your patience and hope to restore your confidence in our service.

Excellent delivery, just 10 days from a location in China. I was expecting to have to wait while after Christmas but no, I can get on with my painting now. So much so I placed another order and that has come in time for Christmas as well.

Houseart are NOT in the UK
Houseart say they are UK based but they are actually in China. I placed on order on 5th December. When I go onto the tracker, it is still doing the rounds in China. If you go onto their Facebook page you will see all the complaints about their service. Customer support is no existing. No reply to messages or emails. Save your money and shop elsewhere.

Dear Michele ascough,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how disappointing it is when an order does not arrive within the expected timeframe, especially when communication feels insufficient.
We would like to clarify that Houseart operates as an international brand serving customers in the UK and other regions. Delivery times can vary depending on the production schedule and logistics arrangements, particularly during peak periods, which can unfortunately lead to delays.
We sincerely apologise if you did not receive a timely response from our support team. This is not the level of service we aim to provide. Please be assured that we do respond to all enquiries, and delays in replies are usually due to a high volume of messages.
To help resolve this as quickly as possible, we kindly ask you to contact us directly at support@houseart.uk, quoting your order number, so we can check the latest status of your shipment and offer an appropriate solution.
We value your feedback and appreciate your patience while we work to improve our service.

Dear Consumer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the delay with your order and that you haven’t yet received a reply from our support team — we understand how frustrating this is, especially when the item was intended for Christmas.
Due to the seasonal surge in orders, some shipments have unfortunately experienced delays, and our customer service response times have also been longer than usual. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Please contact us directly at support@houseart.uk with your order number so we can urgently check the status of your shipment and assist you with an appropriate solution as quickly as possible.

Dear overworked teacher,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are truly sorry for the worry and frustration this situation has caused, especially as the order was intended as a Christmas gift for your son. We completely understand how upsetting this must feel.
We sincerely apologise if you did not receive timely support. During the busy festive period, response times can unfortunately be longer than usual, but this is not the level of service we aim to provide. The tracking number you received was issued once the order entered the shipping process, and in some cases it may take a short time before it becomes active or visible in tracking systems.
Please be assured that your order has not been ignored. We kindly ask you to contact us directly at support@houseart.uk, quoting your order number GUK78115, so our support team can prioritise your case, verify the tracking details, and provide you with a clear update or appropriate solution as quickly as possible.
We truly regret the stress this has caused and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this for you.

SCAM COMPANY
I made an order thinking that the company was based in the UK. The name of the company appears on google as Houseart UK. I have sent three emails on their contact form to ask where my order is and no response to date. I would suggest not ordering from this company as I have since found out they are based in China and unreliable. I will be contacting trading standards and google.

Dear Bernadette,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration and the inconvenience this situation has caused you.
We would like to sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding regarding our company name and delivery expectations. While our brand includes “UK” in the title to reflect our design team, customer service support, and registered business operations in the UK, some of our custom-made digital painting products are produced and shipped from our overseas production partners. This information is also reflected in our delivery timelines provided at checkout.

NOT UK BASED
This company is using UK in its title when it's not. Your paintings are coming from China. I ordered a Christmas present in plenty of time as because of the UK title I assumed it was UK based.
It isn't so now my present will not be here until after Christmas!!
Unless you want to wait for a month on your order avoid

Is this company even real? I placed an order on December 15th, I did not receive any update since. I sent them multiple emails on the 16th and 17th, but received no response. I also sent them DMs on their Facebook and Instagram accounts, but received no response either.

Beware not UK company
Ordered a paint by numbers kit for a Christmas present from what we thought was a UK company ( from the uk they added to their company website) on the 8th December. Tracked the order today to find out only to find out they didn’t even ship it for 5 days and to date it is still in China. There is pretty much no chance of receiving it in time now. If I had been aware of the company location I would not have ordered 2 weeks before Christmas.

Wasn't clear it would ship from China, especially as UK in the name
Update. After 2 weeks, order still not received. No response from support.
Update, finally arrived after more than 2 weeks, top late for me to gift. Got a response AFTER it was delivered, basically saying it's now delivered. I asked for a returns label and was told they would provide a return label "if I removed trust pilot review"! I refused as I'm not keen on bribery and am still waiting for any further response or provision of a returns label.

Poor service, poor product, order incomplete
Ordered three items. Over two weeks later, the two least expensive items have arrived. One still missing. These items were bought for 3 different people. The two that have arrived are packaged in one bashed up box. I would have to repackage them to make them worthy of gifts. I also don't think that they are suitable for the ages they have been marketed for. I'd like to try for a refund but reading other views, I'm not sure if I could handle the stress of it.
