What a Sh*tty Saturday! Ive been waiting over a month for my Save My Soul. I got my credit card statement today and it showed a credit from POW. Just last week Dora (via email) said she was sending it out. What kind of crap is that? What should I do? Their old site had a phone number. Can anyone give it to me? Thanks.
I really pissed off today!!!!

that sucks
i was pissed off I missed out the last time they appeared on PoW...can't imagine how pissed off you are

I think the fact that only in the last few days, someone on here (i forget who) was mailed saying there had been a problem with their micallef order on the 5th, and there was nothing they could do other than 'sorry', speaks volumes about the crock of crap they have become.

I am sure noone on here would question the suggestion that they should have had first call on these when they mysteriously found some more down the back of the sofa(which must be one f**king huge sofa)

You can only piss off your loyal and long standing customers for so long POW....

Business as usual by the looks of it- ie, a complete farce

exactly what I was going to post...until I got a JD
but I have to agree - buying an art print shouldn't be as haphazard as this.

I feel particularly sorry for those who travelled to SG to buy one of these & missed out because they were "sold out"
I'm sure someone on this borad posted that they were 2 or 3 people behind the person who got the "last print"

I was at SG on the day these were sold and was told SOLD OUT. Utter Bollocks

[jellya]

The fact that a SMS went up is just mind boglling

[rolyateel]

it was crazyjake
see my post a little higher up
and I totally agree
I really hope he got one

Don't trying to remain positive ! i did see an add to basket button but hit it and got an error message Oh well F5 F5 F5!
I just wish that when they say sold out you could actually believe them!!

Maybe the seller was one of the people who had decided to sell the prints they bought on the 5th straight onto ebay before they received it, POW saw it and decided not to help them.... just a thought.

not a chance! They'd never have time to look into this type of thing. Sorry.

A bit organised for the POW we know and love isn't it? If they were that organised, surely they would have just contacted the threadstarter to say one has surfaced and does he want first refusal.

Thursday is turning out to be the sofa day isnt it for POW.

Staff briefing: Turn the office inside out for a few misplaced prints or two.

They dont need to, not if someone else is doing it for them. Just a thought.

did you just take that from the pow office? ;D

[Montubu7]

I have to disagree with some posts, so bods from Pow never check ebay/use ebay in spare time?

Its human nature & im sure if they spotted something on the offchance where someone had listed print x for sale stating 'Still in transit' or similar it only takes a few mins to cross reference it!

I doubt they have bods scouring listings on a weekly basis but without a doubt they are aware of it & its human nature!

[rolyateel]

its a 5 minute job per artists
they can save the ebay search "micallef print" or "banksy print" and then double check their (expansive ;D ) records

not rocket science

yes, I was walking past POW HQ and put my face up to the window and saw these two looking very confused scratching their heads. The one on the right pulled out a whole bag of prints, one of them was a christ with shopping bags no.83.

[Tyler Durden]

I wanna leave it a month and then put in an offer for the POW sofa.. It'd be a veritable pandora's box!

I check ebay all the time and have never seen anyone say "it's in transit"

If there was no ebay you could still buy loads of banksy prints off POW. Its only because they are worth money people want them, POW know this and are cashing in on the goodies, good luck to them. i.e. they dont a fuck if dickfuck93937 from croydon is selling a warrior bird for double the price.

A helping hand from the many folks on these forums spotting and complaining about scalpers selling new prints as soon as they are bought would also help, as in many hands make light work and it makes things a bit more difficult for scalpers too
