SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by ksn on Jul 18, 2013 21:42:56 GMT 1, Wanted to add my experience here as well. My first print from them was by Amy Sol, arrived late and damaged, printed on horrible paper with the tacky "LAMINATE MOST WANTED" printed in bold black caps at the bottom. I did get a replacement but had to pay for international return shipping (from the US).
Gave them another shot with their Handiedan release when I heard they switched printers. Must be close to an year now and I have not received anything. It's been so long, I can't even remember exactly what it was that I ordered (print, postcards or something similar).

I understand people have had bad dealings with these guys, but start a bad dealings with thread. I'm sure many people have had good experiences with them I've not been put off because Snik will make sure all customers are happy.

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by spencerlee on Jul 20, 2013 9:30:43 GMT 1, OK, I don't want to be in a minority, but I have ordered 3 things from Laminate. All have taken their time, and there has been little or no communication...but they all arrived, and safely. I am not someone who waits by the postbox when I have ordered something, so may be in a minority. I accept they could be better at communicating, but I would order again if I wanted something.

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by soulseeker on Jul 21, 2013 2:10:44 GMT 1, Yep - same here, re Laminate. sadly. Emails ignored, purchases turning up months late with no postage notification. Vat amounts suddenly appearing on PayPal orders just before clicking the pay button ! Customer service zilch - a text book example of how to ruin a really promising business. Having said that, the products once I have actually received them have been excellent quality. Re the Snik release, plus a few others clearly marked as only Ava till 18th July and sales till then determining edition size - these are still clearly showing as available to purchase. This is plain wrong !! And there was me thinking it was now 21 st July !

You still want to take these guys at their word?
In their defense, they did not specify the year. July 18th 2014?

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by 11 on Jul 22, 2013 16:13:11 GMT 1, So, ordered the Faile back in Dec \ Jan timeframe - chased again last week for about the 6th time (as threads like this remind me that Laminate still haven't come through)
Standard pish....."Takes a lot of time in producing good quality, have to be sent to artists blah blah blah......"
All bollocks - If Faile can produce a 150 series print, arrange a lottery, send out purchase links, process orders, package and dispatch them with people actually receiving the print even before the last prints of a massively oversubscribed release have even sold out (ALL IN THE SPACE OF A WEEK); well doesn't that just make a complete mockery of everything laminate have said
snik - If Laminate take the same approach and 3-4 or even 5 months down the line people are again crying out about lack of delivery, this time of your print, will you take ownership and ensure customer satisfaction?
What was the last thing to be delivered - has anyone had anything since the Hush \ Keyes editions?

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by Art Fan 2011 on Jul 22, 2013 20:07:53 GMT 1, Ive just had the Handiedan print set turn up, really pleased with item, but as always a stupidly long wait and very little contact. Sadly this poor service reflects badly on the artists, who keep falling for the promises by Laminate. Had Snik used anyone else Id of gone for this print, but passed, il wait for his next release where i know the item and service will be spot on!

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by snik on Jul 23, 2013 11:48:59 GMT 1, hey guys, thanks for the messages and replies. It is great to know you guys enjoy the work we produce, but also very worrying to hear all the horror stories of prints not turning up.
As it stands, the size of the edition was based on orders up until the 18th, after that the other orders become part of an open edition (a strange way to work, and not what i was told from the start). I have had many email conversations with john, and stressed how important it is this goes well, and if it doesnt then i will make sure that people are not left screwed over. It is very important to me that people get what they pay for, and that it is a swift delivery. I will keep all of you updated with any news i get, and im sorry laminate have treated you this way.
Regards
snik

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by Art Fan 2011 on Jul 23, 2013 12:42:22 GMT 1, Thanks for the update Mr Snik, nice of you to keep the buyers of your work in the loop! Cant say I really understand the whole limited/open edition situation, and all sounds a bit odd to me, and was certainly not made clear upon release, and sounds like you were not made fully aware of the score, with Laminate involved I cant say im surprised! I hope all who purchased this one dont get let down, but it would be a first if it does arrive promptly! Looking forward to the next Snik print either way, serious talent

This is just another proof that Laminate's way of doing business is totally crap. If they don't mention details like this with the artist they're working with, no surprise they mess up with customers and orders.

SNIK x Laminate Most Wanted - Print editions., by Wenters on Dec 11, 2013 12:28:12 GMT 1, Dear All,
I'm posting this everywhere that the Laminate Media name appears so apologies if you keep seeing it.
I've been having issues with Laminate for the best part of a year and should have know they were trouble when it took forever to get the signed Geddes & Josh Keyes magazines etc before this order. I paid for 3 x Faile Special Editions back in early December 2012โฆโฆ.long story short after numerous delays and promises of shipping dates etc a package arrived yesterday over a year since my order. Inside the package was 1x magazine in a badly printed unsigned Faile boxโฆ.and that's itโฆ.I paid ยฃ141 all in for that. So I kicked off (again) and I also emailed Geddes, Josh Keyes and Faile copying in Laminate so everything was transparent โ I explained the situation and so far Geddes & JK have very kindly replied and without going into too much detail I'm sure both of them will not be working with Laminate againโฆโฆwe also know that there were issues with the Sandra Chevrier release. I have not heard from Faile yet.
Overnight I received a refund for ยฃ94 which covers 2 of my missing orders โ I have asked for a refund of the remaining ยฃ47 + ยฃ10 to send the one I have received back to him in Hull. As yet he hasn't refunded this amount.
Anybody thinking of ordering from this company needs to think twice โ as do any artist thinking about working with him โ they are going to be exploited for his financial gain.
I've posted on his FaceBook but he just deletes the commentsโฆโฆand yesterday he had to turn off the 'comments' part of his whole FaceBook as I bombarded him and he couldn't keep up!
For anybody else having issues I have his new postal address in Hull which I will forward โ there was a mobile phone number but no surprise that it's unrecognised.
BUYER BEWARE
