I bought a Dali reproduction painting from handmadepiece.com. They said it was 'Museum Quality' but the painting that I received from China looked like something painted by a half-blind, uneducated rice farmer. I emailed them saying I wanted to return as it was just garbage, they told me to send it back to them at my own cost and they would refund me. I sent it back but no refund and no reply to my emails. Avoid this Chinese rip-off.

Handmadepiece are just cheap copycats

AUTHOR: David 1st Art - (Israel)

POSTED: Saturday, December 10, 2016

I have just been made aware of handmadepiece’s slanderous comments. Let’s be clear, 1st-art-gallery has been in business since 2003 and we are the world’s biggest and best online gallery with hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers. Our success has also engendered jealousy from cheap copycats like handmadepiece. They originally tried to steal our customers in 2010 by opening a copycat site called 1st-art.com and by claiming to customers that they were us. However, so many people were getting confused and complaining to us about the poor quality of paintings that they bought from 1st-art.com that we got ICANN to close their domain name down and award it to us. So they reopened this year as handmadepiece.com again trying to copy our business model but without the high quality paintings as they use a Shenzhen sweatshop to paint over prints. They have no imagination or creativity, all the pathetic individuals like Monica can do is copy other people’s ideas but just like 1st-art.com failed this year, their reincarnation handmadepiece will fail next year.

I don’t DEAL with crooks, the Law Courts deal with crooks like you Comrade Monica

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Sunday, August 14, 2016

Once again Comrade Monica attempts to AVOID answering the real questions by trying to re-focus readers on irrelevant rubbish about Paypal – we don’t care about Paypal it’s not the real issue. SWEATSHOPmadetrash ripping off Western customers is the real issue

Understand this you moron, I am nothing to do with 1st-art-gallery. They seem to be your mirror image, seller’s of cheap SWEATSHOP made poisonous paintings using child labor – in that respect I condemn them just as a heartily as I condemn hademadepiece.com. I have notified 1st-art gallery about you forging their emails and posting it on here, I don’t know about Red China but forgery is a crime in most countries.

You are just a fake customer who faked buying a painting from us and wanting a return. The fact is you didn't buy anything from us

Quite evidently Comrade Monica will say anything to avoid paying a refund to a genuine customer. You can't take anything that Comrade Monica says at face value as sadly she is a pathological LIAR for whom black is white, fiction is fact and her LIES are truth. She attempts to fool innocent Western customers by making falsehood appear like truth and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood. Comrade Monica LIES because she doesn’t respect Western customers and thinks we’re too stupid not to know the difference between fact and her Chinese fictions.

It would be cool for you to tell our truth to everyone. Please transfer for us:

Well, here’s the TRUTH you asked for Comrade Monica, the readers are having a hard time believing you due to your disgraceful track record of being a lying LIAR that constantly LIES out of your LYING LIAR hole!

Given hundreds of monthly orders, do you think we would be stupid enough to contact buyers one by one and ask them to use Western Union instead of PayPal,

Hundreds of monthly orders yet they have only been open since 31 May 2016! Well, that’s either extremely rapid expansion or more likely yet another LIE from Comrade Monica. Previously, Comrade Monica stated that they have never sold a Dali but now she’s claims to sell hundreds of paintings every month and not one a Dali!!!

Even though you can't represent wester (sic)customers, you probably should tell western customers that Apple are assembled in China, those commodities in Walmart are made in China.

I have nothing against Chinese people as I’m sure the majority of them are honest and hard-working and YOU Comrade Monica most certainly don’t represent them. Why do you insist on giving Chinese people a bad name by LYING to and CHEATING Western customers? Do the Chinese authorities know that you are undermining China’s reputation?

 

  1. handmadepiece.com offers appalling poor quality SWAETSHOP paintings
  2. handmadepiece.com offer no photos before shipment
  3. handmadepiece.com cheats you of your refund.

 

For the FIFTH time answer the questions. Fail to answer and readers will know you for the CHEATING, LYING, SCAMMERS that you are.  Put Up or Shut Up, Comrades:

Why have you not posted your full names and addresses here?

Why do you LIE about Western Union?

Why do you LIE about refunds?

Are you located in Shenzhen, home of the notorious Dafen Village oil painting SWEATSHOPS?

Do you use forced prison or child labor?

Do you have a license to reproduce copyrighted artworks?

Why do you post ludicrously over-the-top fake reviews on your website?

Did you close 1st-art.com because of the poisonous lead painting scandal?

Yes, I’ll make a deal with you Comrades, I’ll stop telling the TRUTH about handmadepice.com if you stop telling LIES to Western customers.

1st-art-gallery.com, so you start to worry and want a deal?

AUTHOR: HandmadePiece.com Official - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, August 14, 2016

Seriously, a deal now you want?

So you admit your real identity is the notorious business of www.1st-art-gallery.com and you start to worry so you expect a deal?

Who wants a deal? Don't be smart.

PayPal sucks? PayPal is worse than Western Union? Excuse me, you are sheer ignorant or just idiotic?

More Than Half of Top 500 Online Retailers Offer PayPal's One Touch Checkout

recode.net/2015/9/17/11618672/more-than-half-of-top-500-online-retailers-offer-paypals-one-touch 

While Western Union doesn't offer integration. Given hundreds of monthly orders, do you think we would be stupid enough to contact buyers one by one and ask them to use Western Union instead of PayPal, the latter being already well integrated into www.handmadepiece.com? And the reason would be "Lots of people don’t like Paypal"? Are you lunatic? Now who lacks knowledge or common sense? Or you think educated customers are as ignorant as you are? Dont' try to be smart!

Who do you think you are so we have to answer your questions? The point is not that we dare to answer or not. The point is we are not liable to answer you those questions like child labor. Please find a child for me who can paint Mona Lisa by Da Vinci. Again, are you sheer ignorant or just idiotic? Or it's just 1st-art-gallery.com's daily practice, farming out products to sweatshops in which children work:
ripoffreport.com/r/1st-art-gallerycom/internet/1st-art-gallerycom-Copyright-Pirate-Tel-Aviv-Internet-1268190 

Our location? Excuse me what does it have to do with you? You are just a fake customer who faked buying a painting from us and wanting a return. The fact is you didn't buy anything from us! Now you want us to answer your questions as well as a making a deal? 

It would be cool for you to tell our truth to everyone. Please transfer for us:

  1. handmadepiece.com offers high quality paintings
  2. handmadepiece.com offer photos before shipment
  3. handmadepiece.com offers 90-day money back.

Western customers and comrades? I'm sorry but it seems to me you are nothing but a racist making yourself belive you were still living in cold war. handmadepiece.com sells globally, not just western customers. Even though you can't represent wester customers, you probably should tell western customers that Apple are assembled in China, those commodities in Walmart are made in China.

I'm feeling so sorry that I have been trying to make sense with a fake person who knows nothing about global buiness and who dreams living in cold war.

What is done can't be undone. See what you did:

FAKE Paintings from a FAKE Company with FAKE reviews and FAKE refunds

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Friday, August 12, 2016

Comrade Monica from the poisonous oil painting SWEATSHOP in Red China gets it wrong again. Lots of people don’t like Paypal. You really should do some homework before displaying your poor knowledge here.

paypalsucks.com/

But being in Red China rather than the US, you wouldn’t really know that. Why does your rebuttal say that you are situated in the US when you are in Shenzhen in communist China? It’s just another example of your pathetic LIES designed to con American consumers.

As you are well aware my email is real as demonstrably unlike yourself, I have no proficiency in making fake emails but how strange that a supposedly ‘honest’ businessperson like yourself does know how to fake emails! FAKE emails, FAKE Paintings, FAKE refunds, FAKE reviews, FAKE US address – you really are QUEEN of the FAKES, aren't you Comrade Monica!

Unsurprisingly, rather than answer the embarrassing questions posed in my previuous rebuttal, you employ yet another trick from the handbook of Commie propaganda and try to divert readers attention from the real issues by attempting to smear one of your competitors. 

For the FOURTH time answer the questions. NO AVOIDING THE QUESTIONS. NO ATTEMPS TO DIVERT READERS ATTENTION. Fail to answer and readers will know you for the CHEATING, LYING, CHINESE SCAMMERS that you are. 

Why have you not posted your full names and addresses here?

Why do you LIE about Western Union?

Why do you LIE about refunds?

Are you located in Shenzhen, home of the notorious Dafen Village oil painting SWEATSHOPS?

Do you use forced prison or child labor?

Do you have a license to reproduce copyrighted artworks?

Why do you post ludicrously over-the-top fake reviews on your website?

Did you close 1st-art.com because of the poisonous lead painting scandal?

I’ll make a deal with you Comrades, I’ll stop telling the TRUTH about handmadepice.com if you stop telling LIES to Western customers.

I didn't want to strip you, but you are pushing us by fabricating stuff with some very basic html tricks. You fabricated in the email message "Lots of our customers don't like to pay by PayPal". Are you insane? It's a piece of common sense that in the B2C area, almost all customers prefer PayPal given the option. You should do some homework before displaying your poor knowledge here. Anyway, who can't fabricate a fake email message screenshot these days? You think you are smart? See the attached image.

Don't hide. Your real identity is www.1st-art-gallery.com. You never bought anything on www.handmadepiece.com.

Here's part of your glorious records on ripoffreport regarding 1st-art-gallery, which you had to dare to call "a far more established and reputable business". The list is so long so prepare yourself to be disgusted.

Red Chinese Comrades Monica and Wen Hua Chen of Handmadepiece.com are consummate LIARS

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Friday, August 12, 2016

‘Nor are we interested in bringing ourselves down to your ad hominem level.’

So stated the LYING scammers at SWEATSHOPmadepiece in one of their earlier issue-avoiding rebuttals, yet here they are launching a rabid rant against a long-suffering cheated customer. Evidently, this statement was yet another of their many LIES.

‘Who do you think you are? Lawyer? Human right prosecutor? FBI agent? It's ridiculous for all this *.

How very, very strange that an honest, above-board business would ask this question! SWEATSHOPmadepiece must be acutely worried that they are rightly being investigated by a lawyers, Human Rights prosecutors and FBI agents. Lawyers investigating their broken promises on refunds, Human Rights prosecutors investigating the Dickensian conditions in the notorious Dafen Village SWEATSHOPS where handmadepiece.com manufacture their poisonous paintings, FBI agents investigating licensing infringements of Western artists.

But the fact is I’m just a naïve, conned customer who bought a badly painted, evidently unlicensed fake Dali painting that was so contaminated with toxic lead paint that it made me ill. When I returned the poisonous painting to handmadepiece.com they did not refund me – these Chinese thieves kept all my hard-earned money.

‘You lied about buying a painting from us. In fact you didn't buy anything. You lied about your paying us via Western Union. For we use only PayPal, you liar.’ 

Attached is a screenshot of an email from Comrade Monica in which she clearly pushes me to pay by Western Union and gives the WU account details of Comrade Wen Hua Chen. This represents incontrovertible proof that Comrade Monica is a practiced, consummate LIAR.

Now, for the THIRD time, Comrades Monica and Wen Hua Chen have AVOIDED answering the real questions and rather than attach pertinent documents previously requested have attached photos of their trashy, SWEATSHOP poisonous paintings - we are not fooled by your calculated avoidance of the real issues. But now it is time for our Commie Conmen to Put Up or Shut Up:

Why have you not posted your full names and addresses here?

Why do you LIE about Western Union?

Why do you LIE about refunds?

Are you located in Shenzhen, home of the notorious Dafen Village oil painting SWEATSHOPS?

Do you use forced prison or child labor?

Do you have a license to reproduce copyrighted artworks?

Why do you post ludicrously over-the-top fake reviews on your website?

Did you close 1st-art.com because of the poisonous lead painting scandal?

 

I’ll make a deal with you Comrades, I’ll stop telling the TRUTH about handmadepice.com if you stop telling LIES to Western customers.

Who's the liar?

The fact is, you bought nothing on handmadepiece.com.

Who do you think you are? Lawyer? Human right prosecutor? FBI agent? It's ridiculous for all this *.

Remember you didn't buy anything from us.

You lied about buying a painting from us. In fact you didn't buy anything. You lied about your paying us via Western Union. For we use only PayPal, you liar. 

You googled and thought you understand our business. That's too far-fetched and too naive. Just do something elsewhere. Get a life. Don't act like a homeless.

It’s ridiculous to buy a sweatshop painting that could poison you!

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Thursday, August 11, 2016

Once again the conman at Sweatshopmadepiece, located outside US jurisdiction, in communist Red China has given a distorted reply. In a sordid attempt to buttress their misleading claims they have posted attachments, however employing the technique of the conman, their attachments are too small to read. So let me once more expose their many LIES in their self-promoting reply.

‘Your logic is to call us a sweatshop for which you have nothing to back up

handmadepiece.com, is located in Shenzhen, home of the notorious Dafen Village oil painting sweatshops. You can read about them here:

spiegel.de/international/china-s-art-factories-van-gogh-from-the-sweatshop-a-433134.html

spiegel.de/international/china-s-art-factories-van-gogh-from-the-sweatshop-a-433134.html

‘There's no such thing we "allure discounts to pay by Western Union". We have never used Western Union.’ 

Please see attachment of email from sweatshopmadepiece in which Comrade Monica and Comrade Wen Hua Chen pushes me to pay by Western Union. They offer a 10% discount but unlike Paypal you can’t get your money back from WU when you inevitably return their shoddy, sweatshop painting. Yet another one of their LIES.

 ‘I feel pity for your denying the existence of our testimonials, calling them fake’

Please see my ‘Fake-review’ attachment, which is a screenshot taken from their website, in which you will see that handmadepiece has actually been reincarnated from the poisonous ashes of 1st-art.com. A Whois search shows that 1st-art.com was created on 23-feb-2012. You can read a real review, (rather than the gushing, over-the-top reviews on their website which don’t read as though written by a native speaking Westerner but more likely written  by someone trained in the mind-bending techniques of Communist propaganda!) on ripoffreport.com at:

The report tells us that 1st-art.com (now known as handmadepiece.com) was selling sweatshop made paintings with a poisonously high lead content and were therefore at the center of a maelstrom of bad publicity that forced them to close down in May 2016 and try to re-brand as handmadepiece.com but still selling the same trash. I know that a couple of days after handling their atrociously badly painted fake Dali that I felt ill, I guess I’ll now have to go to the clinic for a lead–poisoning checkupL

In their report rebuttal Handmadepiece.com state, ‘Maybe your complaint is for 1st-art-gallery.com instead of 1st-art.com. I tell you we are two businesses and nothing humiliates us more than mixing that cheap company with us’. Their reply does really beg the question why they chose a very similar name to 1st-art-gallery.com if they didn’t want to be confused with them? By the way, Whois shows 1st-art-gallery.com to be a far more established and reputable business as the creation date is 06-jun-2003.

‘We really don’t care’.

This is about Comrade Monica’s only true statement. Sweatshopmadepiece don’t care for the welfare of child and prison labor in the SWEATSHOPS where these paintings are produced. They don’t care about giving refunds. They don’t care about copyrights. They don’t care about your health by selling poisonous paintings. They don’t care about TELLING the truth.

As Comrade Monica and Comrade Wen Hua Chen have singularly failed to answer the questions posed in my previous posting, let me revisit them:

Why has he not answered the question about whether SweatshopMadeTrash have a license to reproduce copyrighted Western artists like Dali?

When I raised the issue of if they had a license, the next day they removed all of the suspect images from their website. Why would they do that if they had a license? Since yesterday they have now reposted a couple of sample of images of protected artworks on their website, once again stating that they are ‘inspired by’ (see attachment ‘inspired by’) rather than exact copies for which they would need a license. I have put their ‘inspired by’ images next to images of the real originals in my ‘Spot of the difference’ attachment and as you can see they look identical! Yet another CON. Hilariously, in the earlier fake review attachment that I have posted, a ‘customer’ writes that handmadepiece.com confessed that they couldn’t reproduce a Mark Rothko because ‘they couldn’t get the quality they wanted for Mark Rothko’. That really does speak volumes about the lack of training of their ‘artists’ if they can’t paint a simple Rothko painting - unless of course it is untrained forced prison labor or children slaving away in paint-by-numbers SWEATSHOPS.

Why hasn’t he provided his real name and address as previously asked for?

So Comrades Monica and Wen Hua Chen why don’t you post your full name and addresses here? Are you still rightly fearful that they authorities will track you down?

My dear readers, please stay safe and don’t buy poisonous fake paintings from the Chinese scammers at handmadepiece.com

It's ridiculous to ask for return of something you didn't buy

AUTHOR: HandmadePiece.com Official - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, August 07, 2016

The fact is you didn't buy anything from us. You have never been a customer. 

 

We always accept payment via PayPal. Our website is integrated well with PayPal. You go to the checkout page and enter coupon code and you still check out with PayPal. There's no such thing we "allure discounts to pay by Western Union". We have never used Western Union. 

 

Your logic is to call us a sweatshop for which you have nothing to back up. 

 

I feel pity for your denying the existence of our testimonials, calling them fake. 

 

We don't really care about this slander, to be honest. For we have good reputation among our customers and repeat purchases and person to person recommendations are enough for us.

The Ugly Truth about Handmadepiece.com

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Friday, August 05, 2016

This is the Ugly Truth about Handmadepiece.com (or here more accurately renamed: SweatshopMadeTrash)

  1.  SweatshopMadeTrash purposely discourage you from paying by Paypal by offering you alluring discounts to pay by Western Union so you can’t get a refund. They will most definitely NOT REFUND you when you inevitably return their garbage painting.

     

  2. ‘I don't care about sweatshops or Chinese sweatshops’. With this statement the black-hearted owner of SweatshopMadeTrash displays a disturbing lack of concern and callous ruthlessness in his pathetic, apologist attitude towards the appalling conditions in the Chinese sweatshop where SweatshopMadeTrash produces its trashy paintings. Long hours, poor pay, regular beatings, child and prison labor are commonplace in Chinese sweatshops. Pity the poor sweatshop children and shame on the owner of handmadepiece.com!

    In his reply the owner of SweatshopMadeTrash, like all conmen tend to do, has ignored the serious issues raised in my earnest complaint and tried to refocus unsuspecting Western customers into believing his self-promotional lies in order to con them.

    Why has he not answered the question about handmadepiece.com only being registered on 31 May 2016 yet he wrote that they have been in business for ‘many years’? BECAUSE IT’S A LIE

    Why has he not answered the question about SweatshopMadeTrash posting fake testimonials going back to March when his website was only created on 31 May 2016? BECAUSE IT’S A LIE

    Why has he not answered the question about whether SweatshopMadeTrash have a license to reproduce copyrighted Western artists like Dali? BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE A LICENSE?

    Why has he not refunded me the money for the garbage painting I returned to his sweatshop? BECAUSE IT’S A SCAM

    Why hasn’t he provided his real name and address as previously asked for? BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT THE AUTHORITIES COULD THEN TRACK HIM DOWN

    SO OWNER OF HANDMADEPIECE.COM, ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTIONS OR READERS WILL ALSO KNOW YOU FOR THE LYING SCAMMER THAT I KNOW YOU TO BE

Enough said. For art lovers and shoppers, time to stress why you should avoid www.handmadepiece.com:

1) No photos sent before shipment

2) No refund

3) Badly painted in a Shenzhen sweatshop

4) Fake testimonials

This is an ugly slander

AUTHOR: HandmadePiece.com Official - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, August 04, 2016

We are busy and have little time for this fake ugly slander. Nor are we interested in bringing ourselves down to your ad hominem level. Also it's surprising a disatisfied customer could go so far from simply wanting to return a product. I think most potential purchasers of art are educated enough to see what you are talking about. Now let me cut this for short. 

1) We accpet payment only via PayPal. It's fine to return something. But you have to make an purchase in the first place! No way to prove you have made an order? Sorry.  

2) We have nothing to do with Xiamen or sweatshops. I don't care about sweatshops or Chinese sweatshops for they are meant to be a general thing. They don't stand for anything in my case. You know the problem of generalization? It's in the same vein that living in US doesn't mean you have to be shot to death or Google CEO must be poor for he's Indian. The sweatshop issue belongs to people like Obama and Hillary, not your and me. If you really care about sweatshops you should be on TV now. Since you hate Chinese and think all Chinese either run or work in one of those sweatshops, manufacturing or assembling cheap stuff, that's fine - don't buy Apple products. Don't shop on eBay, Amazon, Wayfair, Overstock, Ikea, etc. 

I'm not to dabate it verbatim for it's not necessary for the point of the this complaint. It's as simple as you hope to return something that you haven't bought. Let's leave other investigation to wise shoppers. 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Enough said. For art lovers and shoppers, time to stress our sales terms again on www.handmadepiece.com:

1) high-resolution photos before shipment

2) 90-day money back guarantee

3) 500+ frames for you to choose from

4) worldwide free shipping

More Lies from Chinese Scammer at Handmadepiece.com

I’m a very dis-satisfied paying customer so this rebuttal is factual.

I'm a partner’ - so post your full, real name here so that I can give it to the proper authorities.

For the past years, www.HandmadePiece.com as an art company has been trying hard to satisfy our customers with our artworks and service’ – you can check this lie at:

This liar claims to have been open for several years but the Whois record clearly shows that this website was created on 31 May 2016

 

‘HandmadePiece offers terms and conditions our competitors don't even think of’– Yes. I agree as I’m quite sure that your honest competitors don’t think about scamming customers like handmadepiece.com does

1. 'For all pieces, we by default offer high-resolution photos before shipment’- no photo was ever sent, not surprising given the appalling quality of the so –called ‘museum quality’ painting.

‘Let's say the notion of "sweatshop" is so last century’ – you can read about this century Chinese painting sweatshops here:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/china-s-art-factories-van-gogh-from-the-sweatshop-a-433134.html

My garbage painting was posted from Shenzhen where the notorious Dafen Village sweatshops are located.

 

Our artists often work at their own studios, probably better places than where you live’ – Many of these Chinese sweatshopsoutsource to local prisons where political prisoners slave away in horrifying conditions so unless you’re doing life in a third-world prison I’d regard ‘better places than where you live’ as yet another of this scammers lies.

2.Beside photo preview, we also offer 90-day money back’ – Like I said in my previous report, I returned the garbage painting at my own cost but never, ever received one cent of my hard-earner money back from these Chinese scammers. On the “About Us page of their website, they state that they are located at: 36 South 18th Avenue Suite A Brighton, CO 80601
United States. This is just a rented mailing address and they are in fact located in Shenzhen - China, beyond the reach of US laws.

3. I paid my Western Union and am unable to claim any money back from them. They are offered me a 10% discount if I paid by WU, silly me I should have then realized that it was a scam.

4. We have nothing to do with Xiamen, this is the only true thing this guy has said,as they not located in Xiamen but in Dafen Village, Shenzhen. This guy then says: ‘It's a place full of factories where art workers, instead of professionals, mass-produce artworks you can buy on eBay, Amazon, overstock, overstockart, wayfair and so forth. Cheap to produce.’ Unfortunately, so is Dafen Village in Shenzhen, you can read about it here:

 http://surfacefragments.blogspot.com/2012/01/chinese-sweatshops-reproducing-fine-art.html

The quality of the my painting was so bad that it looked like it was painted by a child and given the notorious use of child labor in Chinese sweatshops, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it was!

5. 1.’ Fact check:’ should more aptly be renamed ‘Lie check’. This liar writes, ‘We have never found someone who bought Dali’, yet Dali paintings are offered for sale at:

http://www.handmadepiece.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=dali

And previously this liar wrote that ‘handmadepiece had been trying to satisfy customers for the past few years. How very strange that they never sold a painting of a very popular artist like Dali in a few years! But we already know that they have only been open since 31 May. BTW, does handmadepiece have permission to make copies of Western copyrighted artists? You will see on their site that copyrighted artists are described as ‘inspired by’ but the pictures they show are exactly the same as the copyrighted originals! See here, for example:

http://www.handmadepiece.com/masterpiece-reproduction/mark-rothko.html

 5. 2. Of course, my name is in their database but I think that we have already established that the scammers at handmadepice.com are strangers to the truth

 6.’ Why the complaint can never happen to HandmadePiece’ – because you have only been open since 31 May 2016

6.1.’We offer photos before shipment’ – It’s a lie

6.2. ‘We offer 100% refund within 90-day’ – It’s a another lie

6.3.’ On PayPal side: we accept internation via PayPal, the only way we use to collect online payment.’ They push you pay by WU so you can’t get your money back for the shoddy painting that they send you.

7. ‘This complaint is purely fake’ - In their testimonial section (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.handmadepiece.com?page=2) they give reviews going back to 29 March which is amazing as whois clearly states that they didn’t open until 31 May! Unless of course the review is fake.

They produce FAKE paintings using a FAKE US address, they make FAKE claims about quality and give FAKE promises about refunds. Nowhere on their website do they say that they are located in Commuinist China. Don’t buy from these Chinese FAKERS.

Tips

 

Meanwhile a few tips for those who want to purchase handmade oil paintings online’

1. don't buy from Chinese sweatshops located in Shenzhen where handmadepiece ships it's garbage paintings from.

2. Don’t believe what you read on handmadepiece.com they have only been open since 31 May 2016

3.‘good reproductions can only come from China’Typical arrogant Chinese nonsense. These people have no history or connection with Western art, many of them are untrained, cheap sweatshop workers and some of them are prison laborers.

4.‘reviews can be fake. complaints can be fake. excuse (sic) caution’ – We have seen how handmadepiece has faked a testimonial, how it has faked it's birth date. Exercise extreme caution before going anywhere near this Chinese business.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

This complaint is ridiculous entirely completely and absolutely!

AUTHOR: HandmadePiece.com Official - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, July 28, 2016

I'm a partner of www.HandmadePiece.com so this rebuttal is official. 

For the past years, www.HandmadePiece.com as an art company has been trying hard to satisfy our customers with our artworks and service. HandmadePiece offers terms and conditions our competitors don't even think of: 

1) For all pieces, we by default offer high-resolution photos before shipment. Should any fixes are required, our artists can always fix them readily, since we are artists ourselves instead of resellers or businesses who outsource production to factories or sweatshops. Let's say the notion of "sweatshop" is so last century. Our artists often work at their own studios, probably better places than where you live.

2) Beside photo preview, we also offer 90-day money back. 

3) All refunds are 100%. We ask no question. 

4) Our artists work at their own studios. We have nothing to do with Xiamen. Let me tell you about Xiamen. It's a place full of factories where art workers, instead of professionals, mass-produce artworks you can buy on eBay, Amazon, overstock, overstockart, wayfair and so forth. Cheap to produce. On the other hand HandmadePiece works with independent artists. The quality difference is huge. Fortunately, HandmadePiece offers over 100+ samples for all customers to check before they make any purchase: 

100+ oil painting samples here

5) Fact check:

  1. We have never found someone who bought Dali. 
  2. No customer in our database is called Matta, Athens Alabama Greece, or anything close. 

6) Why the complaint can never happen to HandmadePiece:

  1. We offer photos before shipment, so "the painting that I received from China looked like something painted by a half-blind, uneducated rice farmer" can never happen. Any thought to be gabbage by our customers would never get the chance to be shipped!  
  2. We offer 100% refund within 90-day. It's our condition and we abide by it. There's no such thing we refuse to refund or we don't reply. We don't work strickly 24/7 but most of the communiations take place within 3 hours. 
  3. On PayPal side: we accept internation via PayPal, the only way we use to collect online payment. As long as you show PayPal the tracking info and launch a complaint, there's no chance we are able to hold that sum of money you paid.

7) This complaint is purely fake. 

  1. Dare you offer the order number here?
  2. Dare you complain to PayPal and paste the results here?
  3. Dare you?
  4. If you dare and it's factual, we, HandmadePiece, will give you a refund by 10 times. Anyone who reads the post here is a witness. 

 

We know it's not easy to complete online but when you decide to compete you have to do it morally. After all, the only way to win your

competors is to do better than it by offering better products and service. 

 

Meanwhile a few tips for those who want to purchase handmade oil paintings online:

  1. buy from artists instead of workers, which means bypassing factories or resellers, as resellers can only work with factories to have the advantage of lower costs
  2. check samples - real large samples, not small samples hanging in a room, check colors and details
  3. good reproductions can only come from China; if you hate China, buy a local piece please because the chances are it's still from China
  4. reviews can be fake. complaints can be fake. excuse caution.
