POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by love on Nov 15, 2017 10:01:34 GMT 1, This thread is by far the worst in the UAA history, and f**k itˋs a major competition over the last years. Seen great contributers leave the forum and this is what is left.

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by Lord Lucas Roham on Nov 15, 2017 11:34:27 GMT 1, They said they would ship them from the 20th, considering the delays on the other orders do you guys think this’ll still happen? Not a problem if it takes a while, just can’t wait to get it 🤞 I would assume that the Banksy prints orders would perhaps get priority over the other stock?
If not, perhaps they assumed they would have sent out the bulk of the other orders by the 20th? I am guessing 80% of orders took place on the 12th/13th/14th October and these surely would be sent out by then?

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by klyde on Nov 15, 2017 12:00:38 GMT 1, POW really are a complete shambles.
Empty tubes, crushed prints, double orders in tubes, chronic website, crap art.
Good riddance.

Empty tubes, crushed prints, double orders in tubes, chronic website, crap art. Good riddance. A bit harsh, but POW does seem to get an easier ride then other galleries would. So far, I've received damaged posters and two unsigned prints that were labelled on the website as signed. If that was Grafitti Prints or similar there would be a lynch mob out.

No surprise the POW website got the description wrong though.
Its a piece of 5hite.

I know people are pissed but I can't help but smile slightly when people on here start moaning about their dented soup cans- purely because they'd intended to flip them.
Wonder how many of those people took POW up on a refund??

I’m more envious of the lifestyle that people lead to have such high morals to not have taken advantage of that. There’s only a slim chance that the slightly damaged Soup Cans poster will make my wall but it doesn’t stop me wanting one to put in the collection, that’s not gluttony surely?

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by zefarrett on Nov 15, 2017 13:58:58 GMT 1, What about people who bought one soup can and it came damaged and wanted a non damaged for framing. Those weren’t labeled “as is” if I recall. It doesn’t matter if it was $10 or $1000. It’s not unreasonable to want something in good condition. Not a single person here would be content with buying a tv on sale and realinzing there were dead pixels. The same people bashing others for being upset would be flipping their shit over a dinged corner on a print sold here. I’m going to assume it’s more saltiness from missing out.

So to those who bought 5. Keeping all in your collection? Or how much you reselling for?

When it was on the front page when only a few left it said:
‘In Europe’? Not any more - discontinued due to being out of date.
Maybe it is discontinued and people who bought will receive something else, seems very strange to me

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by clueless on Nov 15, 2017 14:28:18 GMT 1, There was not a damaged disclosed note prior to purchase. Poster packs (Soup Cans, Bristol Museum, Shok1) were listed "sold as seen". So maybe the poster packs were damaged and the individual soup purchases weren't. Individual soup page never mentioned anything about condition.

I didn't buy any posters.
My original point was about pow being a shambles due to the crushed prints, empty tubes, doubled up orders, 5hite website.

If you got a soup can poster for £10 be grateful, POW could have sold them for a lot more. And you know what, if you aren't happy then take the refund you're being offered.

We’re all collectors here. Also, I hope I don’t come off as ungrateful because that isn’t the case. I’m lucky as hell and I know that.
I’m gonna start taking bites out of people’s sandwiches and say, well you know it was only a $8 sandwich. Be grateful I didn’t eat the whole thing!

Unlike the Nola a few years ago which was buggered! You think you lot cried over a £10 poster, you have no idea

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by visual on Nov 15, 2017 15:29:53 GMT 1, My opinion is that the soup cans were damaged before putting them in tubes. It seems that's there all damaged at the same area (bottom right).

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by moron on Nov 15, 2017 15:43:40 GMT 1, I have the impression that POW had a huge surge of buyers and maybe whoever is dealing with the orders doing the packing and posting is under pressure to get stuff sent out to people. I can't imagine Mark Chambers or Simon Durban etc doing that themselves. I can imagine them spending the profits though.
All this fuss over ten quid soup can poster.
