Banksy Welcome Mat, by Terry Fuckwitt on Feb 22, 2020 12:43:08 GMT 1, I was thinking about this being a door mat. Of course it’s a door mat. It had to be a door mat. The whole point of this is that’s a door mat. Would anyone here rather have a print of a door mat? ...you haven't got one have you. The only reason I say that is because if you had you wouldn't say its a door mat. Hence my post that you quoted. I think you can see the problem with this Sh!t show of a thread.
... but it is a door mat or certainly a mat. Love welcomes listed it as a mat and talk about it as a mat in every post they make. Banksy called it a mat. My Mums mate Mat calls it a mat. So it is a mat...but an expensive mat and a mat that probably won't be used as a mat. I'm framing mine with a mat.

Indeed. A point made by mammal earlier in the thread. There is an obvious similarity between the mat and all the Readymades, not just the urinal. It lends itself to a potentially interesting debate as to what is art. It is generally accepted that the Readymades are art, even though they may not be to many’s taste. I have no doubt in my mind that these mats are art, in the same vein.

Ketamine has made me drop more for less. Anyone else?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Daniel Silk on Feb 23, 2020 11:08:31 GMT 1, The Buy It Now prices seem to be falling. I wonder if the flippers are afraid of getting stuck with them if more are being released, so are happy just to get shot of them at a profit.

Who made the mats?
I hope they were not made in the Shanghai Qinqpu prison in China along with the Tesco’s Christmas cards.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by withnail69 on Feb 24, 2020 11:23:14 GMT 1, This is 100% true and a bit naughty.. If they weren't a charity like! It’s not even remotely ‘naughty’. Nobody’s been forced to subscribe, and anyone can unsubscribe at any time. This reminds me of the imbeciles kicking off about vegan sausage rolls they had no interest in buying nor was anyone telling them to do so. Its actually illegal to 'opt in' people by default to mailing lists now. I didn't sign up for updates on their products but started receiving them

Banksy Welcome Mat, by pfffffffffft on Feb 24, 2020 14:11:19 GMT 1, Lots of things are illegal, whether they are immoral or not is a different question. I’m literally astounded at the amount of people complaining about Love Welcomes on here and Instagram. Charities are not immune from criticism. Nor should they be. If they were then cases of dishonest charities would never be caught.
It's also not unreasonable to expect them to behave like a business. There are a few hundred people waiting on a shipment of a $700 purchase that haven't received tracking numbers yet. They've obviously prioritized their social media presence over the past week with multiple banksy posts a day. Take a minute and send out some tracking numbers. Follow GDPR laws. Don't use our data for anything we didn't agree to. If I were Margo Selby I'd be really annoyed that on every one of my product pages on LW there are not one but two Banksy mailing list sign up prompts.
When a charity skimps on prioritizing the basics and cutting corners it may be indicative of how they spend your donations as well.
All of that being said...it's obvious they are a small charity outfit who are still learning the ropes and everyone should probably cut them a little slack.

I can only assume their hands are tied behind the scenes.

In fairness to Love Welcomes, their last update did say they expected orders to leave their warehouse by 24th Feb, i.e. today. It seems UK orders just went out earlier. The logistics of the international deliveries obviously more complex.
Agree they’ve maybe been lacking in some communication areas. Understandable, given they’re a small charity, but also understandably frustrating for those waiting.

It seems UK orders just went out earlier. The logistics of the international deliveries obviously more complex. Agree they’ve maybe been lacking in some communication areas. Understandable, given they’re a small charity, but also understandably frustrating for those waiting. I think they may have already shipped. She posted on Thursday or Friday they had all shipped already.
100% on the communication. Before this I was already a little frustrated that I would see in progress photos on social media but didn't get them as part of updates, that's the sort of thing that feels a bit like they are more concerned about image than reaching out to their customers.
I've refrained from publicly pointing this out but since this Banksy campaign launched, her mats for the US customers were marked up 60% over what they are for UK and EU customers. The mats were priced at approx $50 USD +$15 USD worldwide except for in the US where they were priced at $80 + $20 shipping. I thought it may have been a shipping issue but it's not $50 to ship a rolled up tube.
It seems intentional as well, they didn't catch and adjust this when they changed their site from Shopify to WooCommerce. They are now slightly cheaper but it's because whomever set it up set the US conversion incorrectly (they have it set euro to gbp even though it's showing USD). You can see it if you hit the site with a VPN from the US and look at the price on the Welcome Mat.
Between that and having no privacy policy or T & Cs on the site explaining how they use your data there are plenty of things to prioritize over pushing their email list ultra hard on social media right now, these are judgment issues and they may or may not indicate their clarity of thought when it comes to how donation monies are spent. Regardless, I'm not particularly fussed by it.
Also, finally, they only recently publicly thanked Banksy rather than banging on about it being their collaboration. That bugged me too. Banksy is owed a heap of praise for partnering with them and it would have been nice to see that from the start.
I just think it's a bit misguided to suggest that charities shouldn't be subject to criticism.
I know I sound ultra complainy, I apologize. Just pointing out why many people could feel a bit disenchanted with them right now.
