Kaws NGV - COMPANIONSHIP IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS, by Tobi187 on Dec 24, 2019 9:16:16 GMT 1, They come in cheap plastic postal bags that provide no protection to the products. I've seen puzzle boxes arrive damaged/crushed. Only flippers bubble wrap and double box with care. You get what you pay for. NGV reduced the shipping costs like crazy... only $41.00 AUD for a puzzle to Germany now.
everything in cheap plastic postal bags. In this case you did not get what you pay for but you might get it now.
This is more a kick in the butt for those who ordered a few days earlier and had to pay like 125 AUD (it was something like this) for shipping only. I have ordered a few postcards and they arrived damaged as well and they shipped like 2 month after my order.

You get what you pay for. NGV reduced the shipping costs like crazy... only $41.00 AUD for a puzzle to Germany now. The thing is the shipping cost used to be 3 times higher a few days ago and they already did ship everything in cheap plastic postal bags.

Any thought on how to preserve the colors over time, guessing these will fade from sun? Enough with uv-glass or will you use some varnish?

I did 4 coats of puzzle saver and going to use UV glass. That should be enough. On top of that the area where I'm going to hang them never gets direct sunlight.

I got that import invoice too - the total of the products was about ยฃ45, so ยฃ40 fees is mental - so asked DHL to remove their enormous administration fee as I hadn't agreed to it in advance. That was over a week ago. Yet to hear back.

I bought a print from artspace a few years ago and it stated on the site that all import fees were included. I then had a ยฃ60 bill from FedEx, so phoned them up to explain these fees should be paid by artspace. Without any hesitation they said I could pay just half the bill, but I refused it and emailed artspace, who then paid it all.
So yeah, if you're not happy about the amount they're charging, let them know.

TNT charges a ยฃ20 admin fee, way higher than any other courier company I'm aware of. They don't tell you before delivery, but send you an invoice a week or so later, saying they've paid all the charges on your behalf and now you owe them, not only the import duties but their arbitrary fee. I have no contract with TNT - NGV employed them, not me - so their admin fee is not enforceable. I didn't ask them to pay my import duties in advance. I didn't ask them to do anything. You can't insist someone pay a fee they haven't agreed to, after you've completed your work. Imagine if every time you had post delivered, two weeks later you got an invoice saying, 'There's actually an extra ยฃ10 you owe us for that delivery, we've decided'.
If TNT had said they'd deliver my ยฃ45 parcel but only after I pay them an additional ยฃ40, I'd have refused and told them to return it so I could be refunded. They know that would probably happen a lot, so they charge you after.
N.B. I have never and would never refuse to pay the import fees.
I've had the charge removed several times by various companies. care to explain your tactics and reasoning? I don't think emailing them saying "it's too expensive" will work The admin fee is made up by the courier company. It's not import duty. I'm happy to pay a fee within reason, since they do the job of putting the package through customs. Royal Mail's fee is ยฃ8, which is fine, and they alert you to the fee before delivery. You have to pay online, then they deliver. Everyone knows where they stand. TNT charges a ยฃ20 admin fee, way higher than any other courier company I'm aware of.
