Tempted by Amazon paint by numbers deals this Black Friday? This expert Canadian buyer's guide, written by William Murdock, reveals the hidden risks of marketplace kits versus the guaranteed quality of Paint On Numbers Canada. Learn how to get a superior product and a better deal, including our exclusive BFCM offers.
As Black Friday approaches, Canadian shoppers are on the hunt for the best deals. It's tempting to type "paint by numbers" into Amazon.ca and grab the cheapest option. But as a materials expert and the founder of a Canadian small business, I have to ask: Is that 'deal' really a deal?
My name is William Murdock, and I started Paint On Numbers Canada precisely because I was frustrated with the low-quality, unsupported kits flooding the market from anonymous marketplace sellers. This Black Friday, I want to give you an honest, expert comparison to help you invest your money wisely.
The Risk of the Marketplace Gamble (Amazon, etc.)
When you buy from a third-party seller on a massive marketplace, you're rolling the dice. That super-low price often comes with hidden costs to your experience:
- Poor Quality Canvases: Many are cheap, thin plastic sheets, badly folded and creased, which makes painting a nightmare.
- Dried or Low-Pigment Paints: The most common complaint. You open your kit to find paint pots that are dry, clumpy, or so thin they don't even cover the numbers.
- Zero Customer Support: Ran out of paint? Canvas arrived damaged? There is often no one to call, or worse, an automated system that offers no real help.
- Bad Custom Conversions: Automated software turns photos into a blurry, unpaintable mess, with no human artist to ensure quality.

The frustration of a low-quality kit: thin paint, frayed brushes, and visible creases.
