Just out of curiosity, what the heck is Laminate doing to attract artists such as yourself. Seems easier/better to avoid them and go with someone with a better reputation and customer service.

I know a lot of really good artists have worked with them, so that is why I asked. I was just curious what the attraction of Laminate was from the artist's point of view since Laminate gets so many good ones.
I am glad to hear that they treat artists with respect and professionalism. They have improved the quality of their prints dramatically since they first started.
Now if only they would treat their customers with the same respect and professionalism I would order from them with out thinking twice about it.
Good luck with the print sales snik. She's a beaut.

Also - I should have learnt my lesson as I have ordered from them previously and had similar issues.

While you as the artist may get what you bargained for we as the customer have been consistently screwed and I only wish I was on the other side of the pond so I could show up in person to make my point.

www.facebook.com/pages/LAMINATE-media/192799071287?fref=ts
Also, with the way they sell prints before they're signed and printed, it's possible the hold up is on the artist's end and out of their control.

Apologies for slightly ruining your announcement but you are as responsible as the publisher when it comes to a release whether you like it or not and despite what promises they make you so maybe best to ensure your house is in order as I'm sure your prints will be popular!
They should complete all outstanding orders before they sell anything further......you don't get this kind of crap when you buy a print from SAN or 1xRun or Tiny Showcase or any of the other smaller outfits.
Laminate fail to deliver & fail to communicate....they do not have a phone number etc and hide behind emails for months at a time.
However it was really easy to find out where they are and if I don't get my order soon I'll pop along with some coffee & cupcakes to see if we can't sort it out face to face (minus the coffee & cupcakes).

They never contacted me first to let me know there had been a delay and never gave me a straight answer.
The 3rd order i received a refund after asking repeatedly and if i actually got a reply they always said that i would recieve my refund at the end of the week, this went on for several weeks. I was a repeat customer because if you actually receive what you order you will find the quality really good but their customer service is some of the worst you will ever experience.

It's the same attraction that leads to artists working with the likes of Jason Zenga, Daniel Lahoda etc. Don't do it snik. This is a project you could easily make your own and be just as successful, if not more. Laminate are a joke, end of.

Perhaps they have got you on board to try and get back all the customers they have lost, and to entice new ones without any foreknowledge of the company. Quality goods but the service sucks. After the numerous threads about Laminate, they should really put something on the forum to explain, otherwise people will not be prepared to gamble again on them. Quality of work and service is what people want.

Laminate are without doubt the biggest joke of a company I have had the misfortune of dealing with. Seems their company model is get a customer take their money and let them stew for several months. Never any updates from them I have never known anyone have a smooth transaction with them.
Good luck Snik you might need it.

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).
