I too ordered a paint by number kit on Oct 2, 2017. Received an email telling me my order was being processed. Have not received the order despite numerous attempts to contact James Alderman. I got one response telling me my “money was safe and my order was being processed”. The tracking number I was given brings up a message of “ nothing found”. I will also be filing complaints with PayPal and the New York State AG.

Same here. I have my credit card company looking into and they will refund my money. They said that they have their vendor type listed as a pet supply store. I also contacted several people on fb that purchased their paint by numbers on Amazon and max novelty posted them like they came from their site.

Same issue here! I ordered on November 27th, emailed them when I never received a shipment confirmation. Alderman responded with tracking information and said: "it will arrive very soon. Don't worry about it. All set! :) Thanks for your business and understanding." First of all, what type of company puts a smiley face in an email and says "Don't worry about it, all set"? Surprisingly, the tracking number DID work, showing that the package was being processed in China (although I thought it was a U.S. company) and was on its way to JFK. A full week later with no further tracking updates I email Alderman telling him to tell me when my package would arrive or I would report him and contact my bank as well. He never responded. Surprisingly, 17Track shows that the package finally arrived in Connecticut, and now shows as "In Transit to Destination" to my town with USPS. I ran the tracking number on USPS's website and it shows the same (although it says "small package" - I cannot image THREE paint by number kits being a small package) - so, I guess I'll see what actually arrives at my house. Kind of nervous to be honest. I don't trust them AT ALL.

I hope that you changed the card that you used, just to be safe. I'm having my card issue a refund.

I also was scammed. Bought 2 paint kits and never received them. I will be asking my bank for a refund and have them go after Alderman.
