I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of this company before.  Apparently, they sold their product and service through the Home Shopping Network.  You can view there product on the HSN website.

According to several people that have emailed us, Everly Originals went out of business and they never got the product they were promised.  These unhappy customers are hesitant to do business with us because they are afraid we will go out of business.

I would like to ease some minds.  One, we have no intention of going out of business anytime soon.  Although we are only two years old, we are a strong company with a stronger reputation.  Second (and most important), you will never have to worry about losing your money because we don’t charge you for the painting until you approve it and it’s sent.

One last thing, Everly’s product is “Unframed Gicleé Print”.  This is not the same as a hand painted oil painting.  A gicleé print is a print – it is NOT a painting.  We offer paintings that are completely done by hand.  Our prices may seem high compared to other services, and that is the reason.
