Dick Blick Art Supplies + Rhodia Pads

[Juicyjones]

I was just doing some web shopping trying to find the least expensive Rhodia refills I can, and I came across this art supply store in Illinois.

Can those prices be for real? Has anyone else dealt with them before? I called them on the phone and spoke with two different people (one was orders instead of info so she transferred me to the information desk), and they seemed legit to me. The only weird thing was that the pads weren't listed by number in their inventory and the english-measurement size they list doesn't correspond exactly to the size listed on the back of my current #16. Is is possible the pads they have in stock are old?

 

Thanks in advance!

They are definitely legit. I have visited their store on two occasions. My workplace has ordered from them and so have I. When it comes to art supplies, Dick Blick will have about anything one needs. No affiliation - but a repeat customer.

I've bought from Dick Blick for years. They are a very good company to deal with.

I've visited the Philadelphia Blick's and can vouch for their existence.

I buy a lot of my art materials from them; my art department does as well.

I've ordered from them for 5+ years - they always have the best prices (I always look around but have never found a price than even competes with Dick Blick!); I use the letter size pads, also the 5/8 and the 3x8. Their customer service is excellent and I couldn't be happier. If you ever find a better price, let me know as I buy them by the dozen.

I'm so stupid, I just connected the dots here. Dick Blick has been constructing on a huge new store in a totally key location here on Capitol Hill in Seattle for weeks and I pass by the thing every day and it didn't register until now that this is the same store. haha.
