A friend of mine got his morons today and the print alignment is piss poor. The numbers are only about half green where they should be because they were misaligned when it was printed. I suggested he send it back...I know that I would. Anybody else had this happen? It was so bad that it actually made the print look like a mess-up that should have been thrown out...

is this what you mean?

[gcbooth]

it's a screenprint, every one is different. to some this is more desirable.

[Lewis Bannister]

Some of my tubes have come with the inside of the tube ripped by the plug so it makes it impossible to pull the print out.... but im happy to report i've never had one damaged from this ... althought when i bought my flags it had a mark across the middle and the corner was buckled !! never got reply for replacement so i sold when the hype was around for this print i mean imnot keeping that buckle print!!!

[dave313perry]

mine too- way off register, so much so i think it must be intentional..? still pleased though i didnt think it detracted from the print

[reados]

i got a slight crease on the corner where they have pushed the tissue paper in, but im going to live with it - too much stress waiting for it to be returned.

Exactly how it was...since told me they're sending it back..

My friend received his Sepia Morons, tube in perfect condition but when we removed it yesterday from the tube :





looks like it has been pushed into the tube with some force... well i hope it gets replaced .. he will contact POW today ..

[Octopus UK]

Can't these creases be smoothed out? They are a long way from the image itself.

PS It's a Bank Holiday in the UK today.

[megaelch]

Well to be honest we are not too experienced in "print repairs" and on the other hand i think a 650 GBP print should be packed , shipped and arriving in perfect condition .. thanks for reminding me .. bank holiday .. so will try to contact them tomorrow ...

[Octopus UK]

I suppose you're right, for that price you'd expect a piece of paper in almost perfect condition. Still the actual edge of the paper is not perfect so the creases if "removed" wouldn't look "out of place".

Hopefully if POW get lots of returns they may have to re-evaluate their packing practices.

I was told they're out of stock now, so I'd guess you'll just get the offer of a refund. I pray mine comes in perfect condition after having to return one already.

[mammal2]

when did they tell you they were out of stock??

A few days ago.

[Octopus UK]

Since it's a Bank Holday and the sun is shining, I'm in a good mood and willing to take megaelch's friends DAMAGED goods from them at cost price. megaelch can you PM me?

[megaelch]

OK done .. but the 2000 GBP shipping costs ....... ;D

[megaelch]

Just talked to them .. will have to send it back and they will replace it in a couple of weeks .
Needs to be reprinted, they are out of stock, but will make another run ..

[daz205]

so all morons sold out then none left down the back of the sofa? no one was banned from purchasing for flipping ?

That's good to know should my replacement arrive damaged.

i'll be interested to see what colour it will actually be

[arcam]

I didn't bother trying to get it out, so I don't know.

[curiousgeorge]

I collected a morons and two flags today, each one damaged

I'm heartbroken right now,and mad as hell with POW.I am very new to this game, yet i thought of ways to avoid this sort of damage.

Ive seen large portfolio's on ebay with between £10-15 delivery charges, I would happily pay twice what POW charge for postage if they could send them flat

why are you mad with POW? you can't have bought the flags prints from them because they were never sold directly through them.

[foreman]

hey guys... i just had a question about the POW policy about registered owner... i just purchased a signed sepia morons from someone and i was wondering if i should call POW and if they would change my name to the registered owner? do they do this?

[sammyman]

Very nice. Which one did you get? I watched one just end.

[manchestermike]

hi foreman
No, they won't change the ownership to you. They only keep the original owners name

[foreman]

i got the one for 5001 two days ago...

[paulah]

dollars?

paulah said:

[absyrd]

I'm guessing its $5000 american.

If not, WTS my sepia.
