"Hello, I want to thank you for your incredible service. I received all my goods this morning and everything is perfect. I so appreciate your efficient customer service - it is better than any of our local art supply places who do not have the breadth of your supplies.

Thank you again for everything. I will definitely be purchasing more from your shop. Kind regards"

"Sandy and Jim

Wow, that's great! I know that it is a little odd to be excited about lead holders and pencil sharpeners, but hey, there are far worse addictions :) Your stock selection is excellent, I already have a 'mortgagable' wish list! Many thanks"

~John from Wellington

"Hi there,

The cremnitz white is very nice. Thank you for your great service, I wish you had a store down here in Wellington."

~Richard from Wellington

"Dear Sandy and Jim,

I read every word of your newsletters. They are very useful, informative as well as entertaining and I am sure they take quite a lot of preparation and thought to produce. This latest one, #12, is a delight.

My painting is not about making pictures, but all your tips, hints, researches are just as relevant to my practice as to anyone else's and I am very grateful for the generous way in which you make your wisdom available to the rest of us. This note is just to thank you for that.

Kind regards,"

~Guy from Auckland

"Dear Sandy and Jim,

Thank you so much! I received my order this morning. The system you have in place is fantastic. I would definitely use your services again and recommend you to others. I was so happy that my order was weatherproofed and not damaged in any way.

Thank you."

~Jackie from Christchurch

"I will be heading back to my home in Oklahoma the end of May, but will carry with me sweet memories of the lovely people of New Zealand - my memories of the dedication of yourself, and Takapuna Art Supplies, will be among the fondest of those memories. I've passed along information to group members about your website, how to find the paper, and how to sign up for your newsletter (which I have enjoyed immensely!).

Thank you again for all your efforts on our behalf!"

~Pat Lynn Moses, MA, MHR, ART-BC, LPC

"Thank you so much for making it so easy to get supplies."

~Meralda from Pitcairn Island

"Awesome service. You guys rock.

I haven't been able to find this template at ANY NZ stores, French Art Shoppe, Gordon Harris, TradeMe, even tried The Warehouse and Warehouse stationery!

I lost this template a couple of weeks ago in the middle of a project and you've made finding a replacement a breeze.

A+ service and you can quote me on that.

Thanks again!"
