Delivered quickly, even with RM strikes and the August BH weekend! Bought the untacked version, it's made from a thick but bendy plastic, so confident it will last through my project. I love the st... See more

Absolutely wonderful stencils

Absolutely wonderful stencils. The choice is so vast, making it nigh on impossible to select a stencil (or 2 or 3 as is so often the case). The quality is exceptionally good. You will not be disappointed.

Worst customer experience ever

Worst customer experience ever. Business owner simply stopped responding after she claimed she had shipped my order (which she never did). After I filed a claim to PayPal, she emailed me offering a partial (!) reimbursement, i.e. less shipment costs for the items she never sent (wow, what a smart way of making money by cheating customers). Stay away from this business!

Excellent customer service

I ordered stencils as a birthday gift but hadn't realised they take time to produce. When I emailed to ask for a delivery date Lorraine arranged for them to be sent by next day service and the recipient was delight to receive them on her birthday.

Didn't fulfill agreement

I was promised a few empty sheets as kind of special offer for ordering a big number of items. The owner told me I would receive them. As the order arrived, and they were not attached, I asked why, she said she forgot, and they would be sent separately now. That never happened... I asked 2 more times, no response anymore. Super disappointed, as the rest was quite OK. Thou, the quality is not super great if you want to use them continuously either.

Buyer Beware

I would exercise caution before placing an order with this company. After taking payment I have received no communication and no response to email enquiry requesting an update. I have just tried to contact the company by telephone to request a refund using the tel.no.as posted on their website but it is unavailable. My only recourse is to make a referral to Trading Standards. If only I had taken the time to read the reviews of other customers before parting with my money !!!

no goods delivered - no email answered

Money collected - but no goods delivered. Expensive shipping costs for express delivery, but nothing happens after 3 weeks. Does not respond when asked by email whether the goods were even shipped. If nothing happens now, we will file a case via Paypal - stay away from such a "business".

When inquiring about delivery from…

When inquiring about delivery from Stencil Up, I was informed that they were having personal problems, fine, but I don't need to know that, I just wanted to know when my order was to be delivered, they are obviously having a bad day because the passive aggressive reply I received had a bit of attitude, and my order cancelled. Shame, because contrary to this person's view, I like to support small businesses.
What a vindictive reply Karen, which surprised me as you never seen to reply to negative feedback. If you are a small business or a large business, you should be aware of some kind of customer service. My request for information may have been direct, but your passive aggressive reply to me was unwarranted.
Thank you for that, I'm sorry for your loss

I'm so very sorry that you were offended by my explanation of why my current processing time is 6-10 days. It was very unprofessional of me to explain the current circumstances, I had no idea I would offend you. As you were clearly unhappy with the processing time and my explanation, your order was cancelled. I do hope you can find what you need elsewhere. Best wishes Lorraine (not sure who Karen is?)

Stencils are very good and communication. The only downside is the delivery company, they delivered my order for 6 days on tracker before delivering it

Hi Robert, so pleased you like your stencil. Unfortunately delivery is somewhat out of our control, but we do have an option for upgraded delivery

Really rude response from a guy in regard to a custom stencil order I was enquiring about. Spoke to me like I was stupid and offered no specifics on the information I needed to give him. He spoke as if I’m supposed to know the ins and outs of his role and process.

Hi Kate
I have looked and see you placed an order for a small stencil which has been fulfilled (Harlequin Craft). I don't have any correspondence about a custom order, and you would not have spoken to a 'guy' as I am a woman and no men work in my company. I don't recall any conversation about a custom order. Perhaps you have us confused with another company?

Caution

Original date of money paid 9/4/23. I have asked PayPal to retrieve my money I'm sure the products are lovely if you get them........ This company have not given me any explanation to a query about my order of 148 euros when I asked approx 18th May 23 Apparently I came across as 'impolite' when I questioned the order. I suppose figured after nearly six weeks I was never going to get either my order or any information about my order from the seller. Now the 13th of June 2022 and still no order, no communication from seller. nor refund. New update on this on this thread, PayPal have resolved the issue and got my money. 20 June 2023 How I'm not sure but delighted. Have to say I am hugely baffled by this companies approach to the consumer experience, as still no apology or explanation. Oh well. I will buy some presents🎁 for some friends now. Might venture down the stecilling route again in the autumn or winter, anyway happy😊 days.

Theft. They took my money, I haven’t received my items and no one answers anymore

It’s now been 6 months since I placed an order with this company. The money was quickly drawn from my bank account. When I had not received anything after a while, I tried to contact them per email with no response. My friend managed to get through via their shop on Etsy. We contacted them several times and was each time told about some problem or other with the postal service.

Then they stopped answering completely. In spite of several attempts of reaching them we haven’t heard from them in approximately two months. I have now twice asked for a refund on both e-mail and through the Etsy messages, but still no one answers.
