ReviewTerminal Summary

Tobioskits has exceptional customer service that consistently resolves issues quickly, but quality control problems with missing kit components and paint durability are significant concerns that contradict the 4.5/5 rating.

What customers love

  • Exceptional customer service with rapid response times (often same-day) and staff going above expectations to resolve issues
  • Portable, compact kit design that is well-packaged and suitable for travel, gifts, and beginners
  • Included free tutorials and thoughtfully curated supplies that make watercolor accessible to non-artists

Common concerns

  • Frequent missing components in shipments (palettes, brushes, notebooks) requiring customer service intervention
  • Poor paint quality that dries in pots, ruins wooden palettes, and cannot be reactivated like standard watercolors
  • Return policy discrepancies—website advertises 60-day satisfaction guarantee but company claims 'final sale' status, denying returns

Tobios watercolor kits are great

Tobios watercolor kits are great! My granddaughters will actually get off their screens and we have painting parties. I'm artistically challenged and I am creating! Jed in customer service really helped lower my blood pressure when there was an email snafu. These make a great gift and are a peaceful little activity at home or on the go.

I think the whole concept of…

I think the whole concept of miniaturising the painting experience is a very worthwhile idea. It also gives the beginner an opportunity to practice working with the medium, and hopefully - have a joyful experience. Tobio’s staff were very helpful - including - Jed. Thank you. Anne

Great little kit to bring color to your world

I ran into some computer glitch after ordering and was worried that I got scammed, Boy Was I Wrong! Communication about my order was swiftly responded to and everything done calmed my fears. My 2 kits from their special offering have arrived and my daughter was pleased with the one I gifted to her. These sets have everything you need to carry on what you have already done, or start a new pathway to this creative art with a portable set of paints and the special brush that will make learning easy. I cannot wait to get started! Tobios also offers other watercolor supplies.

I had a really great experience with… customer service!

I had a really great experience with this company. At first my order got lost because it had no appartment number on it. They actually contacted me first with what to do and when the shipping company wasn’t cooperative and I let them know the error was not on my part they got back to me immediately! Seriously like within the hour. I also let them know a deeply personal reason I ordered this and why I needed it by a specific time and they not only sent out a brand new order so I didn’t have to fight with the shipping company anymore, but they also sent it with expedited urgent shipping at NO COST to me. At this point they were loosing money on a whole new set and urgent shipping but they wanted to make it right and they did so WITHIN HOURS. I wish this let me post pictures so I could show the time stamps of how amazingly fast they were at getting back to me and making everything right. I know for a fact where my Christmas shopping is being done this year and any other gifts I need for the artistic people (or the not so artistic but maybe those who need to slow down, relive some anxiety and just breath. They have books for beginners that have already drawn items to paint for beginners and advanced painters that just don’t want to think hard, just relax instead. And they have more then they advertise! They’ve got a Christmas book an fall/autumn book and so many more I can’t even remember. I almost spent my whole payday here lol. Although they made it hard because it’s really not that expensive for what you get. My friend bought the knock off off of Amazon and it was really disappointing and I saw a video comparing the two from someone who’s not their company, and it’s pretty clear they have the quality for cost cornered. I know this sounds like I’m a bot or I work for them but I swear I don’t. I just had a really amazing experience with them. I actually never do reviews but they way they went above and beyond really shocked me and I felt like others should know that this is clearly a family owned type company that values its customers.

Outstanding group of dedicated people

Customer service is a mark of a company. By any standard the fine folks at Tobio's exceed expectations. They have a solid team of knowledgeable, responsive people. In particular, Melissa answered all my inquiries in a swift and courteous manner. She clearly explained procedures and processes. I have complete confidence in Tobio's product and especially their staff. Many thanks

Great small business

Thus far my experience has been great with their customer service team. Very responsive (I’m talking 5 minute reply to my initial email) and friendly. I look forward to receiving the product as this seems like a grade A small company to me.

Stellar Customer Service

I ordered the Tobio Watercolor Kit as a gift for a friend’s birthday, was a surprise I knew they’d love! A key piece of the kit didn’t make it in the box and I sent an email to the company hoping they could save the day. And they did!! Even though I emailed late at night, I had a response by the next morning. Sent a picture so they could confirm the missing items and boom! next email was confirmation and a new tracking number for the missing items, already processed. Shout out to Jed who helped me so quickly and was kind so kind and understanding!! Try Tobio, highly recommend the products and the people!
