might be a short thread ;D
I'll say POW were great for being the first and cheap (remember cheap POW prints at around ยฃ50 - ยฃ100), but concerning Banksy print prices that's more credit to him than POW.

But still, affordable Banksy and Micallef. Wooo!

Could say more but I'm sticking to the brief laid out by FE
+1 POW

I look around my house at the prints I've bought from POW and they make me happy....

I actually think the actual communication part is very good, I usually get an answer within a day from any email. The only think I can criticise on now the site is sorted is the packing of product and delivery time... my Ian Francis prints arrived from BLK Mkt today super quick and amazing packaging

Pictures On Walls - We Love You!, by dave313perry on Nov 13, 2007 21:58:27 GMT 1, Regarding the communication - i mean it quite broadly
they give us little to no info - and any info is usually inaccurate anyway - and for me personally i have found e-mails to be quite unpersonal. like one or two word answers, dont get me wrong they are straight to the point and maybe im nit-picking but sometimes iv typed a message with about three or four perfectly reasonable questions and got a two or three word reply!?!?!?
of course they are busy people but if your that busy you should employ some staff to cope with the demand!
now i am moaning!!! - there is so much good stuff to say about POW also including erm errrm MR B!!!!!

Pictures On Walls - We Love You!, by pkt75 on Nov 13, 2007 22:22:27 GMT 1, i love the stuff they sell, I hate their impersonal and inaccurate communication and their customer loyalty is non existant. I certainly dont love POW. If all the artists moved somewhere else with their prints, would you be loyal to the love spoken of POW or would you walk out and buy elsewhere? I shop with them as they are the only supply of affordable prints, I aint gonna thank them until they thank me for my custom and that aint gonna happen. Has anyone here felt like a valued customer of POW?

Has anyone here felt like a valued customer of POW? Yes That may be so nuart, but as i understand it, you are part of the art scene so you may get some respect from them, my question was to general customers who like me, have no contacts in the industry, have no part of the industry, just a hobby as a collector that spends alot of money with them.

I shop with them as they are the only supply of affordable prints, I aint gonna thank them until they thank me for my custom and that aint gonna happen. Has anyone here felt like a valued customer of POW? Yup, had some OUTSTANDING and very personal service from POW in the last few years, as a small company coping with a popularity explosion, they are doing well. Not all their customers remember the actual size of the operation there, its not a huge set-up, and what they do is, in my eyes great. Had the pleasure of browsing their site when prints took several months to sell rather than seconds. Quite sure I'll get negged to hell for saying it, but thanks POW.
PS just read ptk's post and I am a collector with no contacts in the industry etc... just another customer.

too fucking right! a lof of very upset, angry and dissapointed people initially but fair play to POW they duly set about putting right someone else's (protx) f*ck up. nothing in life is ever perfect but you can't fault them for much bar their packaging.

that's bad news, sorry to hear. sadly they are only human, if their system had no record it had no record, how can they tell one genuine case from a bunch of chancers? there has to be a cut off point and inevitably there will always be some disappointment. as for 'next', maybe she felt the dialogue was going nowhere and to be fair they must be snowed under.
be positive and hope you get lucky next time, not that that really helps

I dont plan to stop buying from POW and one day i hope to speak the same nice things about them. I just aint had any great experiences of POW, jus great prints. Tho to be honest, I aint been collecting long enough to speak at all on this subject. I understand the 'Chancers" thing, but i wasnt. I truly belived I had one coz of the message they give out at the time. Hey-ho, good things are coming....

Have you tried buying anything other than Banksy's ? because service and delivery is excellent for all other artists on their roster. I think we can all agree that Banksy and to a certain extent Micallef are a different matter and you can't really expect anything more than they try to do. The fact that you got a response at all is testement to the efforts of a very small team. They have 20 000 on their mailing list, all trying to get a Banksy. Mail them tomorrow enquiring about an available piece and see what happens dude.

Pictures On Walls - We Love You!, by sausageboonwee on Nov 13, 2007 23:41:27 GMT 1, When I worked in London I used to regularly go round various galleries in my lunch hour. All would make you feel very welcome and were happy to discuss the artists and their works in great detail. It was probably obvious I couldn't afford most of the work they were selling but they were happy to talk because they had a genuine passion for what they were doing. I appreciate POW aren't a London Gallery (yet) but I have never witnessed the same passion for art from them.
