I Stood In The Blue Darkness 12 Sperry Release Discussion 05

[FroDawg]

They need to hire some Cubans or at very least some jay burners. Tight Roll es No Bueno.

[Pineapple007]

really disappointed and upset they have no more replacements and offered me a refund of 25 dollars. I requested a replacement 1 becomes available or a full refund I'll see what they say

[fredo]

I think this print blows.

And shouldn't y'all be talking about shipping issues in the release discussion?

[Pineapple007]

they asked if I could send the poster back and they will refund the postage price along with the poster cost bummed about this is 1 of my favorite Sperry prints

Arrived safely in NH today! Flattening now but no damage I could see Double wrapped in tissue paper and craft paper and taped to tube, with tissue paper stuffed at both ends. Sorry to those who had troubles.

Mine too(in VT)! Looks good, a little wavy on the bottom from being rolled tight and being a longer print, but should flatten out just fine!

[opence]

Got mine yesterday pulled it out today...No major creases but yeah It's about as flat as the surface of the moon right now...

I don't understand why they thought it needed to be rolled so tightly.

[TNspreadhead]

My reg arrived rolled tight as well. It is flattening out and should be fine. No wonder they keep advertising for a gallery manager...maybe they will know how to properly pack a print, especially for international shipping. Such a shame so many were not salvageable...Pineaapple that sucks man, major bends and a kick in the nuts refund offer

[skis007]

Those damn gorillas, they're everywhere.

[TNspreadhead]

Anyone that has had an issue should email flood gallery or just reply to your ship notification. They are offering partial refunds of $25 until their owner returns next week

[cardhawks]

I'll take anyone's damaged copy if you're thinking about sending it back, I'll pay face + shipping

Here we go again, bitching about distributors. And now I'm going to put a lot of this where it belongs:on the artist. Chuck, you're going to read this eventually & may hold it against me & so be it but it needs to be said. YOU sir, are largely responsible for these buyers receiving damaged goods. YOU have the ultimate control of deciding who is going to touching YOUR art. You say it's the house that commissioned your work? Then don't take the $$[yeah, easy for me to say, I know] unless you can be guaranteed your art will be handled w/care & that damages would be far, the exception, & not the rule. As is the case here. As was the case w/Varnish. You then have the responsibility to follow thro' w/that guarantee & have the gallery/distributor prove they know how to package your art from the size & sturdiness of the tube, to the kind of paper used for protection to the way the art is rolled & protected w/in the tube. This is YOUR art, not theirs.

It's too bad all of this discussion happens after the fact. I think after the purchase is made all of us making +1's need to form a more perfect union & go to the distributor w/a reason for concern, past history & game plan to delivery a more perfect product. Good luck everyone. I unfortunately missed out on this. Chuck is my #1 artist so I too will be seeking a copy should any become available.

Gallery upped the refund to 35...does that even cover shipping?

[aldo]

The cap on one end of my tube was crushed up mangled and I feared the worst but I had no damage.
