When shipping prints - an encouragement, by Press Play on Dec 17, 2013 14:37:13 GMT 1, Hi everybody.
I would just like to encourage everyone to take the time to learn how to pack a print properly. I've seen many hazardous ways to pack a print, but luckily I've been spared receiving damaged prints. Lately this luck has turned. My two last deals arrived damaged and this creates a very unpleasant situation. This is not a complaint against those I've dealt with as I had productive correspondence with both, but a general warning when sending prints.
When a print arrives damaged there is no way to avoid a level of distrust between buyer and seller, both arguing for there cause. This can be avoided I you as the sender take the time to learn how to properly pack and ship a print.
Best,
PP

When shipping prints - an encouragement, by Philpenn on Dec 17, 2013 16:53:03 GMT 1, I'd be curious to hear if any other forum members have used a PrintPak.
KAWS' Glass/Paper Smile prints came in one of these, or something identical from another company. Jawn seems pretty bulletproof, and I definitely didn't hear a single story of shipping damage with them.

I've gotten screwed on a large canvas coming from Canada before...as the artist packed himself. even though he insured it, he / I had no claim because he did the packing. someone from the insurance company came by to take pictures n everything. never got anything back.

When shipping prints - an encouragement, by daveart on Dec 20, 2013 16:25:10 GMT 1, i have had some great luck .. and some bad luck...
This would be an example of bad luck...... I did not ask the seller for any funds. Pretty obvious it was not his fault.. this hurt pretty bad though.. was an expensive piece of art.. i sent it to a restorer and spent another $400 .. it is pretty much OK to hang.. although out of depression i have left it in a storage sleeve and ignored it for a year ..
probably worth everyone stating in their offers... will pay for insurance.. or seller pays for insurance.. or 'you own this up to the point i lay it out on my table and i will want a refund for any issues in between...."
