This is the most frustrated I have ever been on missing a release. I have been waiting months for its release. I walked out of a meeting and it was still available. Got all the way through till the checkout and my credit card was denied. Turns out Chase has a fraud detection system in place. This is the first time I have ever experienced fraud protection so I hope this helps someone out in the future. You have to call your bank beforehand to let them know you will be making a charge in the UK.

Anyway, I always wanted to hang this in our nursery. I have "Splash" for my daughter but I wanted to get this print for our 2nd baby due in January.....which we just found out yesterday is a baby boy.

So, long story short... just wanted to let everyone know to call your bank ahead of time if you are a buying a print from the UK.

I called Chase today and had a conversation with their "Fraud Department". They promised me this would never happen again. I understand why they would want to protect themselves but it's not like I was buying a $50,000 BMW from overseas. Anyway....live and learn. Wish I could be opening up a NEISBW tube without having to spend $$$.....

Based on Eelus' twitter, he mentioned the other day that he has to sign/number/stamp/and package all the prints before leaving for the Brooklynite show so it sounds like they are being prepped and should ship this week! (lets hope)
"...youre not actually looking at Schulz-Neudamm's tones and lines, youre looking at a jpg of those tones and lines run through a photoshop filter to make them simpler for a simpler printing method. so... superior? ..."

More recently from his twitter:

Today @ ~6AM PDT
STILL waiting for Royal Mail to send a despatch book. If it doesn't come today, the prints won't be sent until I get back from NYC :(
Today @ ~7AM PDT
Shafted by Royal Mail & problems with Sage Pay so I can't get access to any of the order info. This isn't going well at all. Holiday please.

i drymounting hate them....but my wife loves them so we stay. i tried to buy a $40 poster from the UK a couple years ago and not only did they deny the charge, they locked my card up. i tried to use it at the grocery store then an ATM later that evening and it was denied. i went into chase and had to show all kinds of ID to get it unlocked. total bullshit...i was pissed.

ha. Sounds like what paypal did to me when they locked my account for no good reason and forced me to prove I was myself and that my addresses were valid, even though one of them does not have a landline that they require. Douches. I hate paypal. Locked me out of sending any money for 1 week. Luckily I didn't miss anything I wanted
