if avant art didnt use the right one then you cant contest it and have to claim it after
they will correct it though if the codes been ignored or there is no code
I'm not paying I'm asking them to reissue for the correct amount. they base it on what the code was used on the customs form if avant art didnt use the right one then you cant contest it and have to claim it after they will correct it though if the codes been ignored or there is no code |

Jose Parla • The Founders, by pauljones23 on Nov 2, 2021 19:28:15 GMT 1, The issue I’ve had tho is paying it at source and then being charged upon uk entry. Effectively paying it twice I’ve had confirmation from AA that the price is excluding VAT, you will only be charged it when it arrives in the UK. They have also confirmed they will be using the UK’s 5% tax code on so we should only be charged the lower VAT amount.
So it should be read as 5% then?

Just could not recover from that
Otherwise an incredible print edition by looks ( without having seen one )
Just call it unsigned , I don’t know ; semantics
Anyway look forward to seeing these being enjoyed

Looks like an open edition release for 24 hours only on 1st October. Decent size print, good value and very wall friendly. I don’t normally float mount prints, but this will look awesome framed like this. 
Avante Art have been great but unfortunately used Fed ex as their courier
They have incorrectly charged uk delivery’s at 20% plus handling coming to £94 . It is a nightmare trying to contact fed ex and they make you wait in all day for delivery with no time slot

Eh. thats worse than fedex. at least fedex deliver it first This really grings my gears - how these huge corporates are able to do and charge exaclty what they want with little regulation or oversight. Essentially they charge the wrong rate knowing full well that theyre so inefficient and lacking in any sort of customer service that the end client probably wont end up claiming - thus the huge corporate pockets, unlawfully, the amount over-charged. Disgusting. |

It goes by the customs officers not the company
Customs just dont check properly or the wrong code has been used by the sender
