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.
The whole process of ordering and receiving the poster was great. The choice of posters is enormous and it took us while to find the right one. We are very happy with our choice. The quality of the print is outstanding.
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
Good quality and very good service. I got it in about a week despite living in Japan. Thank you!
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.
Won’t go anywhere else now!!
