Just an FYI - if you reach out the gallery they will send you one of these LE posters as long as you pay the shipping. 30 Euros to ship to the US.  |

Does anyone have a spare copy of Nucleohistone?
I have tried the gallery in Italy, but they are not sending any more out.
I would really like a copy of this, think it is the only way i'll ever own an offical Hirst spot print.
If anyone can help please let me know.
Many Thanks
RH

I sent them 30€ cash in an envelope last week but I've just emailed them to find out if they will send mine that way or if it will be rolled. I'll be kicking up a stink if it is folded and damaged!  What are you going to do? Psycho666 |

I had to wire 30 euros and now the gallery is claiming only to have rec'd 15. Sent them screenshots of my account being debited the 30 euros and going back and forth.
On top of that, my bank charged me $30 just to send the wire so I'm in to this for $70 with nothing to show. Now hearing the stories of damaged posters I might as well just call it a loss.
Buuuuuuuuullsh*t.

Buuuuuuuuullsh*t. your bank charged you a fee and then the receiving bank charged you a fee. It happened to me once. It is a pain in the arse. I wish they could at least tell you the total fees up front. |

^ Yeah that's what I figured but I can't control what fees the rec'ing bank charges to accept wires. The gallery should have known that before asking me to send 30 euros (IMO).
Now even if I ask for a refund it will all be lost within the fees. lulz.

When you send an internation wire you can choose who pays the transfer fees. there are 3 codes for swift instructions: SHA (shared) = you pay your fees and the beneficiary receive the amount minus their correspondent fees OUR = you pay all the fees and the beneficiary receive the full amount BEN (beneficiary) = you don't pay any fees, the beneficiary receive the amount minus his and yours fees. you should have sent a wire with an OUR code instead of SHA. |

After finding out the bank charges for an international bank transfer (approx. 30€) I decided to just change up some cash into Euros and send it in the post! I chased them today to find out if it arrived with no response. I'm now starting to think it might have gone "missing"... Psycho666 |

Gonna give em a couple of days to respond to see what they think of the matter. Hope I can get a decent copy of the print some how. Got all my hopes up and then dashed by the shipping gods.

Good luck and keep us updated! I'm hoping for a reply to my email (asking if my money had been received and how are they sending these, i.e. rolled and in a tube?!) tomorrow. I'll post back with any response... I've got a bad feeling though. Maybe an email to Damien Hirst might help... could get a free print!  Psycho666 |

Ok winners, I apologize for delay but my current gallery group show made me crazy. I know, bad package-poster destroyed. I'll send another one for you all in a bullet proof tube . Three of you are from London, Jones27, Happyshopper and Barryscott. What if I ship the tube to one of you and you all meet? Mooman, you will have a single re-shipping today. Jean Pascal and Lunchspecial, please be patient your poster will arrive. |

Glad to hear that the winners will be sent replacement posters! It has got a bit confusing in this thread as to where the posters are coming from and who's are arriving folded and damged: 1. People receiving their poster as a prize from mrquirt's lottery. 2. People receiving their poster directly from Fondazione Pastificio Cerere after paying €30. Are the people who are receiving the damaged and folded posters the people who won the prize from mrquirt's lottery? Or people who ordered directly from Fondazione Pastificio Cerere? Or both?

Christ almighty, all this fuss about a 30 euros poster, bin it and crack on with life. To some people 30€ is quite a bit of money. Yes, it's not in the same league as £5,000+ for one of the signed prints, but that doesn't mean 30€ means nothing and you can just throw money away. You must be in a better money situation than me! If mine arrived folded and damaged direct from Fondazione Pastificio Cerere then I won't just say "Oh, well". I'll demand a refund. What next, you buy a new TV for £400 and the screen is shattered... Oh, well. I'll bin it and just buy another one! ;D Psycho666 |

Get your point but 30 euros? come on! a packet of decent biskwits is a couple of quid!!!.
ps. Yes i know that Scobbers pay a lot less for their biscs. but thats their choice, aint a lot left after the weekly catalogue bill and new tattoo is there, priorities.
