Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by concrete jungle on Sept 16, 2020 20:42:56 GMT 1, Mine arrived today - box looked a bit knackered so I feared the worst. As others have said no inner tube ๐ Just a couple of plastic bags taped to hold the rolled print in place. Amazingly no damage but not surprised there have been a few casualties.
on the up side it is a lovely print - the strange shiny paper is really smart - and condition (pre posting anyway!) for the early 80s, impressive.
They have obviously held a few back if people are getting replacements - just as well - I'd be gutted just to be offered a refund......

Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by concrete jungle on Sept 16, 2020 21:01:21 GMT 1, It's a funny thing - any photos of the paper just look flat white - almost impossible to get the strange shiny sheen. I've stuck mine in the plan chest until I get framing sorted, but image below is best I could find that almost gives the right impression. Others with good camera skills might be able to do it justice....

There's no way it's going to arrive in one piece based on the usual condition of my international packages.

Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by Gurn on Sept 18, 2020 10:22:53 GMT 1, Blimey, seems a lot of these have been bashed up. It amazes me how many outlets seem to give such little regard for the welfare of the art in transit. As previously said, the Japanese are usually sticklers for packaging. I can only assume that a) they don't recieve a huge amount of overseas orders and b) they were caught out by the recent demand. Either way it's a lesson many outlets seem to learn the hard way. I was fortunate with mine, I feel gutted for those that weren't; and just hope they kept enough back to replace.

Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by Bendy Man on Sept 18, 2020 10:56:57 GMT 1, The email that they sent me suggested that the poster would arrice in a tube, not flat (See below)
Price: 33,000YEN Shpping cost to UK 3,500YEN Shpping cost to EU 3,700YEN (* by poster tube shipping. itโs NOT flat. )
I'm hoping that it arrives in good condition - perhaps they have had some complaints and have updated their packaging?

Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by richmister on Sept 19, 2020 11:34:25 GMT 1, Big thanks for the heads up on this poster. Received mine a couple of days ago and it is off to the framers.
Feel very lucky that mine wasn't damaged as it only had those couple of bags and box. Crazy stuff, I would not package a ยฃ20.00 poster with so little protection.
Feel bad for those with damaged posters. Not what you need when are excited about receiving the delivery.
I hope there are enough spares to go around.

So it looks like they're buying actual tubes, etc.

Iโm sure it will come good but I always think it only takes a second to fire something off to everyone who ordered just to keep them in the loop.

I received mine last week but had emailed them post order a couple of times with no response. Eventually got tracking info out of the blue. Suspect they are holding off at the minute whilst waiting for improved packaging - but you are right comms could have been better .....
