Nothing to worry about customs wise. Get the Phillips screwdriver out!

Don't mean to poo poo the good vibes, but aren't TNT one of the companies that send you the invoice in the post after delivery?
I remember having a conversation with them around the KAWS NGV book when the called me, which they duly ignored and sent the full charge in the post later on.

It's funny. I feel the same way, but at the same time also feel that's some of its appeal. I don't think it would work as well in a square format.

Hmm....Iโd have to check back but I think it was suggested by AA that theyโd try to ensure that it came through with a 5% fee. Iโd certainly be claiming back that additional 15%. Seems a little bit of pot luck with customs at the moment as to what youโll end up being charged. It does make purchases from Europe a little more odd-putting or at least you need to figure in that youโre likely to be hit with an additional 20% fee at worst. Iโve not had any news about my Observer yet but will advise if I have been stung with the same.

Although saying that, the courier doesn't have an option to pay online and the tracking doesn't show the charge. I'm not clicking the link I got through the text, I'll wait and see if it shows up with an invoice.

Spoke to someone in the know and sounds like Europe to UK customs includes VAT now so that would be the 20%, right?

The circular format is a huge bonus IMO; makes it far more playful and appealing when hung amongst other traditionally framed rectangular/square pieces. Definitely going to divide opinion though, a giant glittering, multi-coloured face is bound to give off some kitsch vibes!
Congrats to all that landed a piece ๐

My shipping confirmation and tracking has just come through now. Will find out what happens shortly. My understanding is that this should be 5% import fees but depends on the code used to send.
