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 !

22nd July and still nothing from an order placed in early December 2012. Typical.

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?

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

Think I'll go for this one , its a beauty.

And you're right snik, many people are put off buying from Laminate but have no reason to distrust Delamainarts so I think this'll be a very popular release.

Looking good. Good Luck with these Snik.

They're stunning.

Snik has been doing some lovely pieces of late, but doesn't get that much of a look in on here. Both pieces are lovely, glwts

I love 'what your soul sings'. A very nice piece of art.
