Why are galleries and artists so terrible at packing prints?, by Deleted on Aug 12, 2017 14:47:26 GMT 1, Only slightly relating to this thread but anyone heard of this practice before? I had an email a few days back from the unit london and they were asking if I was interested in the Will Martyr print. If I was the shipping cost would be £19.50 and if picking the print up it would cost me £3.75. Not a lot of money but £3.75 to pick it up when they were charging £800 for the print is a bit off in my eyes. I've never heard anyone charging for you to pick it up! How odd. Maybe ask them if you just walked in off the street would there be a surcharge? Assume the gallery picked up this type of thing from ticket websites that love to add spurious charges. Still defintely not acceptable because the cost for handling and overheads should be included and factored into the print cost.

Why are galleries and artists so terrible at packing prints?, by jettad on Aug 12, 2017 20:11:57 GMT 1, POW now shoves a poster into a tiny tube without kraft paper and rubber bands the poster leaving rubber band creases. Needless to say, they don't seem to give as**t anymore. This.
The last three prints I got from POW were the worst packed prints I have ever had.

Last print I bought from pow (rectangular) was actually rolled along the longest dimension (!) rather than the more sensible and normal shorter - also rammed in the skinniest (and no doubt cheapest) tube going. Ok it was only a few hundred £££ but needless to say it has never totally recovered. I stuck it in a flat file and hoped the wrinkles would eventually drop out, but months later it was much the same. Probably should have sent it back straight away but too late now🙁
