All I can say is ugh, and I'm sorry I shared the disaster of a paper sale. I'm putting all the info I have here so hopefully everyone involved will see it.
If you ordered paper from the Blick/MacPhearsons liquidation sale you will want to check your orders to see if you received the correct amount and the right products. Up until today they were saying they would reship the correct amounts but now they are canceling all orders of multi pack papers offered in the sale.
I checked to make sure the prices were correct for the packs and I was told they were. The prices were still listed in 5, 10, 25 and 50 sheet packs up until 2 days ago when they pulled the entire liquidation sale down. Today they sent emails canceling all unshipped orders of liquidation paper and discontinuing those products. If you were shipped single sheets when you should have received packs you will need to let them know so they can issue you a refund. If you already did that you should be all set. They are letting people keep the single sheets for free and also issuing $10 gift coupons for future orders so look for those emails and save them. They are good for a year.
I'm sure Blick didn't mean for it to happen.
The good news is that only paper packs were affected. Paint, pastels, canvass and other types of supplies were correctly sold and shipped.
The customer service reps at Blick have the patience of Job and they were wonderful, I have no issue with them. They had to deal with changing policy and be cheerful while doing it.
Feel free to console each other or vent in the comments. Sending hugs to you all. I think this might be the universe telling me to use what I have. Again, I am so sorry to share a sale that caused so much dissapoitment.

The Derwent Drawing set of 72 was officially launched yesterday, and they are available for preorder at Blick. And they are currently in the coupon-eligible category! tidd.ly/3KwRd8D You can use the coupon code WSAK for an additional 15% off, bringing the price down to $135.49. They also have open stock for $1.84, but with the coupon code, they are $1.56 each. They are not shipping until November, but if you are purchasing this as a Christmas gift, it will be perfect to save this much! List is $265.69. This will ship to you from within the USA so no additional customs fees will apply, and it is above the free shipping threshold.
*Blick is the best deal, and this will be a popular item, so I would order it now if you want to get the best price and have it before Christmas. I think the first batch will sell out in days. You can also order open stock pencils to complete your collection or just get the tones you like. I think Blick will probably remove the ability to use coupons on this product in a couple of days so if you are sure you want it grab it while the price is lowest.
I unboxed, swatched, and created art with this set here: youtube.com/live/xuXgZ9I84PU
Jackson's Art also has them backordered for $159: tidd.ly/4pPUr7x If they ship them from their warehouse in Maine, you shouldn't incur additional customs fees, but if it ships from the UK it might.
If you want them shipped now, you can get them at Derwent: www.derwentart.com/en-gb/p/2306558/professional-pr… They cost 190.79 GBP, which is $257.29 but I have a 30% off coupon code: LW-30%OFF which would bring it to $180.10 *Additional customs charges may apply as they are shipping from the UK. These do not appear to be on the USA website yet. Below are terms for the 30% off coupon at Derwent:
T&Cs:
30% off the purchase price on www.derwentart.com/en-gb & www.derwentart.us/

Here is the painting we are going to make on Wednesday for the free lunch hour watercolor livestream paintalong on my YouTube channel! Swipe for the pattern and reference photo. You can "right-click" to save the pattern and print it out. My painting is 6"x6", but this is a .jpg, so you can print it at the size you desire in your printer settings. I recommend using a compass to make your circle if you want your turtle in a circle. I just traced my painting to make the pattern, and it is a bit bumpy due to the cold-press paper. I will update this post with a link to the livestream as soon as I have it scheduled. A replay will be available for those who can't make it live on 9/10/25 at 12 noon Eastern Time.
