Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by veralynn on Nov 19, 2009 21:59:03 GMT 1, If you don't pay the duty, then chances are that FedEx will sell the debt on, the HMRC might come and have a look through your personal tax affairs.
Eventually you might end up with a default registered against you with Equifax/Experian meaning you'll struggle to get credit for a loooonnnnggg time.
As an alternative, you could phone FedEx on the number on the invoice - explain that you think duty is payable at 5% as the pieces were created by the Artist and they will credit you with £20ish.....I did this this morning and I think it's fair and reasonable.

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by silvermyn on Nov 20, 2009 13:54:57 GMT 1, The thing that annoued me about the FedEx letter was that £10.50 was the VAT charge (roughly 5%) and the remaining £10.00 was a FedEx advancement fee. I mean, who authorised FedEx to advance me money? Sure as hell wasn't me!
If they hold onto the print until the £10.50 is paid then fair enough but to pay it and then claim I owe them money because they gave me an advance is a bit much. A £10 charge on a £10.50 VAT bill is taking the p*55. Almost doubled the bill...
If 150 of the 300 prints came to the UK then FedEx made £1,500 out of advancing us all money. Cunning b*stards!
On the upside my print was numbered below 10 so I was please with that. A lovely print too

Does it matter what number you get or is this just a personal preference? I got number 298... is that worse than one with a low number?

you got the print. Isn't that enough? I missed it, the way PM were putting the up in different intervals...every time I went to the site it was sold out. Then someone on the forum would say it was up again, but when I refreshed the page it was sold out again!!
So, in conclusion, be happy/proud of your #298.

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by silvermyn on Nov 20, 2009 14:20:48 GMT 1, The prints are all the same so don't worry about that. I just like to have low numbers, especially where the edition size is large. No other reason than just personal preference.

Don't get me wrong I am very happy... sorry you missed out
(I should point out mine was 290-something-ish, so to the person who that actually has 298 i am sorry if I had you worried for a second)

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by digitalkid on Nov 24, 2009 12:40:40 GMT 1, Can I ask everyones opinion - Are you going to use uv protective glass when you frame this print? Is the cost really worth it for all prints? This Faile is a keeper for the foreseeable future, I'm just not sure if the print warrants it or not?

Is the cost really worth it for all prints? This Faile is a keeper for the foreseeable future, I'm just not sure if the print warrants it or not?
As for UV glass, I cannot emphasis enough how damaging UV light of any type is to prints. UV glass is a must on all of my own personnel framing, be it a print of value or just a photograph. Damage from UV light starts the moment your framed art is hung. You may not notice any difference for a couple of years, but everyday that passes the pigmentation in the colours of the print are fading. A little test you can do is to take a photo of non importance and cover half of it with a piece of card. Place in your window and after 2-3 weeks you will see a significant difference between the two halves. Although no artwork should be hung in direct light this small test will show just how much damage UV light can, and will do. And although UV glass will not totaly protect your artwork from UV light it does drastically reduce the damage done. So please, for the small additional cost, I emphatically advise the use of UV protective glass. I hope this is of help to you Martin
