Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by rockbeer on Dec 8, 2017 14:07:19 GMT 1, They were available for 24 hours im sure, cant blame flippers if you missed this one
No, not for that long. They were available for about five or six hours I think, if that - I watched them disappear gradually all afternoon while I hesitated. I eventually gave in and pulled the trigger late in the day when there were a hundred or so left, and within another hour of that they were gone.
Not that it makes a huge amount of difference, it was still plenty of time for those that really wanted one - although I get that if you happened to be otherwise engaged that day you could easily have missed out.

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by Hairbland on Dec 8, 2017 14:34:31 GMT 1, So, um...this poster has really grown on me. And I'm a bit conflicted with my excitement. I placed it in a cheap frame (regular glass and wood feels iffy, but found on sale for $25USD). Well, the only place I had available for it was in the basement, right next to Fairey's Make Art Not War signed offset print. It's looks incredible!ย And after staring at it for a few minutes, I decided to donate to the IRC and Human Right's Watch.ย I want to donate to one more organization, but unsure of which one.ย I've also decided to get these pieces properly framed.ย 
Some of the best art is often not immediate.

It's very thin like a poster. Honestly that is what had bothered me about it. The image is nice though.

Indeed, the paper is on the thin side, but not the worst (e.g. Ben Eine charity piece from a few weeks ago) and sufficiently rigid to hold its own well if properly handled/framed

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by rockbeer on Dec 10, 2017 11:59:38 GMT 1, My print's in customs in Coventry - I'm waiting for a bill any day now. Got my customs bill today. ยฃ31.75 seems a bit steep for something that cost $100. That's about $40 which is near half the price for the print. Anyone else experiencing similar customs fees?

All in how much did you spend on the print? Including shipping and customs

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by letterpressed on Dec 10, 2017 17:44:56 GMT 1, I got 2 of these prints and the Import VAT was ยฃ38, it's charged at 20% like here. i called HMRC and explained that as it's art it should be charged at the lower rate of 5% he said you have to pay the fee and then reclaim using a form on the HMRC website. Annoying! Thanks I did not know about VAT relief on Charity items so may go that route ๐๐ป

Import VAT: ยฃ20.50
'Clearance fee': ยฃ11.25
Total: ยฃ154.46
Hoping to get at least the VAT back, and possibly the clearance fee too as it hardly seems fair to have to pay an admin fee for the collection of VAT that shouldn't have been levied in the first place.
We'll see.
But in the end I won't mind if I get nothing back - I love the print and I don't expect too many other chances to own an Ai Weiwei piece.

Grabbed one very recently. Cannot wait to get this thing up on the wall. Saw a recent exhibit of his while I happened to be vacationing in Firenze, loved it.
