delivery help/question, by misnomer on Sept 9, 2007 11:56:07 GMT 1, Hi

a long awaited piece has finally arrived (by sea), well, 'arrived' in that it's in the country. Having gone through all the customs clearance and VAT bs (terminal handling and clearance fees, bill of lading, certificate of origin, blah blah blah) I now have 5 days to arrange onward delivery to me, before they start charging me storage.

I had been under the impression that the shipping I previously paid, covered physical transport all the way to 'my front door' - apparently not, only to the port. The handling & forwarding Co. at the port want another £105 just to transport it from Tilbury Freeport, Essex to Surrey...about 40 odd miles round the M25.

OK it's a largish crate (98x154x33cm, 220 kg) but still. conveniently for them, their warehouse is only open mon to fri 9-4, so with work commitments, there's no way I can get down there in time myself...

so my question is:
does anyone have any recommendations for Co.s I could use to have go collect on my behalf and then deliver, who won't charge so much?

As there are numerous gallery owners, artists, framers, printers, etc. here, as well of course as collectors, I'm hoping someone here has had to deal with this kind of import issue before - for that matter, does anyone do this kind of thing professionally?

proffesser • Mr Brainwash in Nottingham on Wednesday 4th December 6-8pm.. a tad too early for me but might appeal to some more local clarendonfineart.com/collections/come-and-meet-mr-brainwash

rparducci • That's a good idea ,have you got any pictures of what exactly you meant? Was thinking of maybe ornate in red too? What are your thoughts

Daniel Silk • We are getting some very encouraging stats on the forum this week as I continue with the board and threads changes.

zatarro • Looking for artwork of ROA. If someone has art from this artist to sell, please let me know. Thx

cdot • www.instagram.com/p/DCmJRlct3XV/?img_index=4&igsh=Mmc3MnZmajhkM3Fx

Daniel Silk • The number or Boards and Threads continues to fall as we simplify the layout of the forum.

Daniel Silk • I hear a lot of Artists complaining about Instagram in the past year, how it used to be a good tool for Artists, but it's not good anymore, is that true?

anyaart • For Brett Kern fans, I noticed there is a spinosaurus for sale on E-Bay. It's a limited edition, one of only 60 made. This is the rarest of his dinosaurs. I am not the seller. I already have the same dino purchased in 2016. I've never seen one up for sale

Dive Jedi • Get well soon, Daniel Silk . All the best !

Daniel Silk • Apology • Sorry I have been offline this past few weeks, due to a very bad Fever. I'm slowly getting better, step by step, and catching up with things here on the forum on the days I'm well enough. Thank you for your understanding.

Boy Wonder • I read that they were more or less nicked the same day they went up. Loads of fakes exist.

milou2 • Would love to see any photos of Banksy's first exhibition at the Severnshed in Bristol (2000). Who was there? *

jirr • Hi all, over here in the states. Pandemic put me out of business, need to sell this asap. Please send offers thanks so much

matgab • Steven Harrington - Gotcha first ed for sale.

1nkling • I can't help but think that a more reasonable tier for people who just want to support the work you guys do would raise more income. Then other tiers for those that want specialist benefits.

1nkling • As soon as I saw the heading for the email I thought 'Oh yeah, I use that place a lot. I'd happily support it'. Not at £40 a month though. I have a paid sub for a Formula 1 site I use that is very active. They have a high uptake on subs at £12 a year.

1nkling • Pricing on the new supporters sub seems a bit poorly thought out. £40 a month to have a pinned sale thread being the only listed benefit?

Daniel Silk • The forum now has more than half the number of Boards than it had a year ago! As we work towards simplifying the layout.
