Bought the McCurry - I couldn't stop looking at it

[dirtypete]

These are brilliant and I really liked the selling format. My only fear is that they now become another thing that I start collecting!

I had to buy the Eli Reed, as it’s I nice reference to put close to my flags print. I also picked up the Alec Soth and the René Burri, only will power and cash stopped me buying several more.

Same here.  I kept going back to look at the pictures, researching the photographers and reading their descriptions of the photographs.  I'm not too familiar with the world of photography, and I wasn't even aware of the Magnum cooperative's existence prior to seeing this post.  It kept coming back to the top of the 'latest threads' and I eventually went 'what the hell is this Magnum square print business' and clicked on it!  Glad I did, although I didn't buy any this time around.  Now that's will power!  Let's face it, I didn't make that decision, my wallet did...  But I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next Magnum square print sale.

How do you know? Did you receive shipping notice?

Yes, I received the shipping notice yesterday. They're using DHL Express.

I’m not joking - my tracking says that the parcel is in Jamaica. JAMAICA!!

That’s a proper detour (to Germany)

Is the customs charge valid?

Custom charges are applied to the shipping costs as well as the price of the print itself. Then they also add on a "processing fee" which soon bumps the price up to a ridiculous level.  I now try and avoid buying things from abroad if possible.  I'm fed up being ripped off.

Same for me. Just got the DHL invoice.
Here is the detail (quickly translated from French as I am now based in France).

Your payment is calculated as below:
· VAT 24€ : (item value 89.52€ + shipping 28.47€ + custom rights) : 20%

· Custom rights 0€ : (item value + portion of the shipping) x custom right rate

This is where it's getting funny ;-) ->
· Handling Charge 17.50€ : These fees are paid to DHL Express, to manage your file.

so basically :-) 46.82% additional for the shipping, vat, taxes, ... from the original price.

Take it into consideration when based in EU and:
- ordering from a US based company / website
- using DHL

Cheers!

Concerning the handling charge and outlay fees:

Last time they charged me for handling customs, I claimed back the fee as I didn't assign them to do it. I was successful back then but I don't know if that's a discretionary decision. Always worth a try.

I tried that once with ParcelForce UK.  They would not budge.  They would not even explain how they calculated their fees.

Just read an article that there's a difference between DHL and DHL Express. While the custom service is optional with DHL and therefore challengeable, DHL Express' custom service is an integral part of their business model, agreed by the sender and thus not challengeable. I don't know how reliable this source is but it would make sense.

Anyone want to purchase the Trent Parke signed print at £125.
Please look at the thread in art for sale or message me.

[kjg]

I am still looking for the Todd Hido from last year’s sale. Pm me if you want to sell!

[sugar72]

Sorry just the Trent Parke here!

There’s a couple on eBay

Yes, saw them. A bit too steep for me considering the fact that Hido most probably will join in next square sale. Will wait for that :-)

Save the date. Next Square Print Sale starts on October 28.

If all goes well there will be another Todd Hido!

Fingers crossed, there will be new Elliott Erwitt print, only stamped and not signed. He's still signing the ones from the last sale...

[gd79]

Nan Goldin for me. And Todd Hido.

I'm just happy he signed the older ones given his age. And I'll still pick up future photos even with the estate sig. Such a great photographer.

[abstrakted]

I've bought from the Magnum square sale many times, but the large(r) signed, limited posters like this (Alec Soth, 24 x 31.5) are SUCH a better deal (only $150).

[gd79]

Email for save the date just received. Am starting to get excited about this.

From the email, I can definitely see a Martin Parr, a Todd Hido and a Matthew Porter

I'm desperate for a Kate Moss one

[gd79]

I thought I'd seen it somewhere, virtually sure that this is the Todd Hido image. In which case it will def be on my list
