My order get cancelled too, fxxk them. Everyone should write a message under their Instagram entry about the signed book.
After one week İ recognise that I oversold...Shame on you Phaidon...big shame.

...or Kaws realised how many were already on Ebay and at what price, so got pissed off that others would make money on his signature/stuff, so he might have reduced the amount... who knows...

has Phaidon said they oversold the edition?

My order is still confirmed, 530X.

Since it was supposed to be a Phaidon.com exclusive sale, since they advertised it that way... They should refund Brooklyn orders first and then Phaidon.com orders. I'm sure it won't happen that way.

Yup oversold:

"Order XXXX was canceled because we did not have enough stock to fulfill your order and your payment has been refunded ."


I'm still don't understand the random cancel...

Can anyone in US make me a favour and buy me a poster and then send it to me in Italy? For international shipping they are asking me a ridiculous amount of money for a $20 poster:
Subtotal $20.00
Shipping $85.18
Taxes (VAT) / Duties $23.14
Total USD $128.32

If anyone kind can PM me it would be greatly appreciated!

If anyone going to the show could help with one of the either of the posters, I'd be very grateful! I'm in the US and will gladly pay a little extra for your time.

Got a strange mail by Phaidon Customer Service that landed in my Spam Folder dated at the same time as my cancellation mail. Text as follows "Thank you for your inquiry. One of our representatives will respond within 3 business days."

Anyone else that had his book cancelled got that as well?

[vvk]

the plates were the nicest thing on the site IMO. looking forward to seeing it in person. hope to hang them.

[mabage]

Me too. I my opinion a compensation would be appropriate...discount/ voucher or different signed book.

My order number was 53xx

I am quite sure that there was no oversold (Spotify is hardly fail) while I believe that something has changed in the choices of the publisher or kaws, however it does not seem to me that they have been professional

Did someone from UK had his order cancelled ? 

[Dahmer]

Looks like it’s still going - £563 at the moment

[Masong]

Nothing like rubbing peoples noses in it!... Putting an eBay link to a book that’s being flipped, on a thread where people are having their purchases cancelled. Priceless!!

[Hairbland]

I thought this a good read.

Interesting read indeed!

The part in the review about the culture and retail therapy is so true

I’m a big fan of Kaws work, especially the really old work.

It was genius to me back then and opened my eyes to a different type of art that I didn’t know existed.

But today it’s like Supreme or limited sneakers releases..
People buy everything without even looking at it or deciding if they actually like it or not.

This is excellent. Really gets to why Kaws is intriguing and utterly bland at the same time. Nice to read someone making an effort to engage with an artist whose work they don't really like.

I just received this from Phaidon.... it doesn't really add anything but thought I'd share

We are reaching out to you because you have contacted us regarding your order for KAWS: WHAT A PARTY (Signed White Edition) which has since been refunded to you.

We understand your disappointment at the cancellation of your order due to the fact that we received more orders than the supply we had. We did our best to honor the first orders received as well as to limit quantities per order.

May I remind you that our website Conditions of Use (www.phaidon.com/conditions-of-use/) states that “all orders are subject to availability, and Phaidon cannot guarantee the availability of any specific products.” It further states that “No contract will subsist between you and Phaidon for the sale by it to you of any product unless and until Phaidon actually dispatches the good to you. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the goods to you without giving any reason.”

While we were within our rights to cancel your order, we apologize that it was necessary for us to take this step on this occasion.

You may be aware that copies of the Signed Edition were also available from Brooklyn Museum. There was a period of roughly two days during which Phaidon.com was the only place one could purchase a Signed Edition, following which copies could also be purchased from Brooklyn Museum. Both Phaidon and Brooklyn Museum are now fully sold out.

May I also remind you that unsigned editions – black, pink, orange, and yellow colors -- are currently available for sale on Phaidon.com.

We hope that this clarifies matters and we appreciate your interest.

Basically thanks for writing us, tough sh!t.

Same here. No comment. Surely I can be proved wrong but I think it is difficult to sell more than the stock assigned on shopify.

[Dahmer]

Tidy profit. Would be a shame if his order gets cancelled after he’s spent that money

[irl1]

With all the fans KAWS has, he should sign 500 of each color

wtf he could have done it while on lockdown
