Mixed results on my second order
Mixed carton, mixed experience. Half the catalogue is permanently out of stock at this volume. Worth it above a hundred units, frustrating below that.
Diamond Painting Wholesale Supplier review · updated 2026-11-14
Paint By Dot is the supplier to talk to when your problem is attach rate rather than acquisition. The tool range - multi-placer pens, ergonomic grips, stackable trays, light pads in three sizes - carries healthier margins than kits and gives you something to bundle at the till. Wholesale terms are straightforward: fifty-unit minimums, mixed cartons allowed, and refill packs for the consumables that customers come back for. Canvases are a supporting act rather than the headline. If you run a physical store, ask for the counter display unit; it does more for tool sales than any online listing.
Wholesale profiles are scored on the terms that decide whether an order makes money: the published minimum, how the tier breaks are structured, whether stock is real or nominal, how freight and cartons are quoted, and how quickly a trade account actually ships. Reader reviews from shop owners, market traders and marketplace sellers carry the most weight here, because they describe the repeat order rather than the first one - and repeat orders are where trade suppliers show their true organisation.
Prices, minimums and shipping terms change frequently. Treat the figures above as an indication and confirm current terms with the business directly. Read the full review methodology.

Tracking updated the same evening and stayed accurate all the way through. I run a small market stall and this is the first supplier whose minimums did not price me out. Consistent on price and on dispatch.
Tier breaks are honest: the price on the list is the price on the invoice. Ordered a hundred units ahead of a Christmas market and they arrived with two weeks to spare. Reliable enough to plan a season around.
Restocked four designs in November and all four were genuinely available. Order confirmation listed every SKU and quantity, which sounds basic until you have worked with suppliers who do not. Our stock problems stopped when we switched.
The catalogue is ambitious for the warehouse behind it. Dispatch slipped a week without anyone telling us. Useful if you confirm stock before promoting anything.
The rep answered a long list of questions in one email instead of ten short ones. Short-bag replacements were sent without an argument or a form. Two years in and no reason to look elsewhere.
Three SKUs on the invoice were not what the order confirmation listed. Fine as a backup supplier rather than a primary one. Not a scam, just disorganised.
Two of the designs were substituted without asking, apparently because stock ran out. They are honest about what they do not have, which counts for something. I would use them again for the price alone.
Been buying for eight months and reordering is the work of two minutes. Dispatch was the next working day on a mixed order of nine different designs. Would recommend to anyone starting at small volume.
Say what you bought or ordered, what arrived, and whether you would do it again. Specific detail is more useful than a score on its own. Reviews are published unedited apart from length.
Published minimums start at 50 units. Tier pricing usually kicks in above the first break, so ask for the full price list rather than ordering at the base tier.
Typical turnaround is quoted at 4-10 days for stock designs. Confirm stock on the specific SKUs before planning a promotion.
Mixed cartons and blind-ship options are usually available, but ask in writing which label and packing slip options are included at your tier.
