Very reliable company with quality products and great customer care. Posters are a little pricier compared to budget poster companies but worth every penny, the difference in quality still gives great value for money.

Beautiful art! Got one piece at a market in Berlin, then decided to get two more from the same collection to put on a big white wall in my bedroom. Shipping to Canada was smooth and faster than I expected.

My order was easily placed and quickly delivered, outside of Germany. The posters are of a fantastic quality. This was the second time I ordered from Kuriosis and both times were a very good experience

This is my second time ordering from here and the service and quality are second to none. I have ordered posters from other companies and their quality is no where near as good as Kuriosis. Also the postage is very quick.
