Do not recommend
Do not recommend. awful experience and awful customer service
This was a horrible process from start to finish. There was always a different excuse as to why my order was delayed and often avoided answering all points of my email. On the 29th of January they told me my order was due for delivery on the 30th when it in fact hadn’t even been framed or shipped. Another time they told me there was a delay in just uploading my proof because they don’t have my phone number??? The list goes on and on.
When mentioning the disappointment and how I’d never use this company again, they offered me a store credit… despite me JUST saying I’d never use them again. After me acting a little crazy they finally agreed to a 30% refund.
What was meant to be a special gift for my mother’s 60th birthday has turned into an absolute mess thanks to this company and it has left me no time to organise a new gift for my Mum which has left me feeling stressed and upset.
It took over a month for me to receive my item.
Save your time and money.

Hello there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that your order was so disappointing, especially given how important it was as a gift for your mother’s 60th birthday.
I completely understand how frustrating and stressful it must have been to deal with repeated delays, unclear communication, and responses that didn’t fully address your concerns. Our intention is never to leave you feeling ignored or let down. You deserved a much smoother process and a more sensitive resolution.
While I realize this doesn’t change what’s happened, I want you to know your feedback is being taken very seriously and will be shared with our team so we can make improvements. If there’s anything further we can do to make things right for you, please let me know. You can also reach our support team directly at [email protected] if you wish to discuss your experience in more detail.

Don’t believe the website timeframes…
Don’t believe the website timeframes listed of 1-2 weeks.
Ordered over a month ago for a birthday gift and still not sent despite being told that my order will be overseen as a priority when I flagged the issue over 2 weeks ago. Have now had to purchase an additional present due to gift not arriving anywhere close to listed timeframes. Have tried being patient but I wouldn’t recommend unless purchasing at least 2 month in advance. I understand errors/process misses can occur but they have not made up for it with their customer service so far.
Can’t comment on quality yet as has not yet received.

Hello Katie,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and I’m truly sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience this has caused, especially with your order being a special birthday gift. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to expect your gift to arrive within the stated timeframe, only to be let down after being assured your order would be handled with priority, and we dropped the ball on meeting that expectation.
Having to purchase an additional present because your original order did not arrive on time is not something we ever want our customers to experience. I also recognize that our communication did not meet your expectations, and you should not have needed to follow up repeatedly.
We are thoroughly investigating your order to find out exactly where things went wrong. As soon as we have all the details, we will contact you directly to explain what happened and discuss how we can make this right for you.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback; it really matters to us. It helps us see where we need to improve, especially with time-sensitive orders like this. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and we’re committed to doing better.

My mother loved the "painting" of her childhood home that her parents built back in the 1950s. Her parents are both deceased, and the photo of the entire family together was the perfect gift. She could not understand how the picture was even made, and receiving it was clearly an emotional experience. She felt it was honestly a perfect and thoughtful gift.

Hello Amy,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback with us. We’re truly grateful you took the time to let us know how much you all enjoyed your picture.
It’s fantastic to hear that the gift was a hit and that it turned out just as you’d hoped! If there’s ever anything else you need, we’re always here to help.
If there were negative stats that is what I would give. My entire ordeal with this company was a NIGHTMARE!! I was charged extra for it to be expedited and it still came a week late. I was told I would get a mug at no charge, well that didn’t happen either. I asked multiple times to be put in contact but that didn’t happen. NEVER EVER AGAIN don’t be fooled by these scamming crooks! And the numerous emails with bs answers was never ending! COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED and SUPER PISSED OFF ..,.

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your patience while we worked through this.
I wanted to share a quick update: your custom mug has been shipped and is expected to arrive on Wednesday, January 21, 2026.
I understand how frustrating this experience has been. Between the delays, the repeated follow-ups and the missing mug, it’s unfortunate we did not deliver the smooth and reassuring experience we had promised. I’m sorry for the stress this may have caused.
I do want to clarify the confusion around expedited delivery. We currently do not offer expedited shipping. What we do offer is a “Skip the Queue” add-on, which prioritizes artwork creation. In your order, the only add-on included was Combine Photos, which was processed as intended.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make this right. If there’s anything else you need once the mug arrives, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY.
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY.
This is by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had.
I paid extra for priority processing, which was advertised as proofs being returned within 1–3 days. Instead, it took weeks, and I had to chase the company almost daily via email just to receive a response.
Because I needed the portrait by Christmas, I reluctantly approved the proof despite not being happy with it, after being explicitly assured that if I approved by a certain date, it would arrive in time. Once I approved, my card was charged immediately — and communication from the company stopped entirely.
Christmas came and went and the product was never received. I then requested a refund and received no response.
In the end, I was forced to lodge a dispute with my bank to recover my money.
This company does not deliver on its promises and does not communicate once they have taken payment. I strongly recommend avoiding them.
Reply from Welham & Co2026-01-03
Hello Ash,
Thank you for writing this review. I’m sorry for the experience you had with your order.
You chose priority processing expecting your proof within 1–3 days. While the first few proofs were delivered within that window, the artwork then went through several refinement stages to reach the intended artistic direction. I do apologize that we did not manage that revision timeline as efficiently as we should have.
Our intention is always to deliver an artwork worthy of gifting.
I do understand how frustrating the back-and-forth communication must have been, and you should not have had to chase us for answers.
I want to confirm that your order has been cancelled and fully refunded. While this does not make up for the missed gifting moment, I hope it brings closure to the transaction itself.
Your feedback is important because it highlights where we need to do better, particularly in how we communicate during time-sensitive orders. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share this.
Dani @ Welham and Co
Communication was confusing and inconsistent. They canceled an order I placed for a Christmas gift without my permission, claiming it took too long for payment—despite the payment being made within five minutes of receiving the payment email. I was told my money would be refunded, so I purchased a different gift.
Later, they decided to process the order anyway. When I told them I no longer wanted their services due to the cancellation, it turned into ongoing arguments with customer service instead of accountability. They asked for proof of payment, which I provided via a screenshot of the bank transaction, yet continued to say they could not refund my money.
The entire experience was frustrating and unprofessional.
Reply from Welham & Co2026-01-02
Hello Sylverialynn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry for how frustrating this situation became.
You had multiple orders with us around the same time, which understandably led to confusion. One order was automatically cancelled after we did not receive a response following the initial proof. Another order had already been approved, paid for and was moving into fulfillment, and this was the order that was ultimately produced and delivered. You also had a third order still active and awaiting photos due to the Upload Later option.
I understand how receiving a cancellation notice while another order was still being processed could feel misleading. That was not our intention, and while our team later provided a breakdown of each order and its status, this clarity should have been communicated sooner.
I also want to apologize that the approved order went through several rounds of revisions before final approval. While our goal was to deliver an artwork you would be happy with, I could see how the extended back and forth added to the frustration and contributed to the breakdown in communication.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. It highlights the importance of clearer communication when multiple orders are involved, and this is something we are actively improving.
