I thought these had sold out? Now he's "found" 6 more and bumped the price up to 400, not to mention the AP's with a 500 Price tag.... bit shady!

That sucks too! Refunds, found prints at inflated prices, AP's at even crazier prices and now some reporting poor packing causing damaged prints - atleast it sounds like he has a stack left to replace the damages. Sounds like a shady character for sure!

Hope he has the decency to reply to you at some point Gmidd

I’ve bought 3 prints including one a/p long after the release had sold out and never had any issues. Communication went very smoothly as well, even got offered regular edition of diffence print at cost or a/p for 30£ extra which I thought was nice.

Shady practice no doubt! These ones prices at 400 + 500 will just sit unsold!

The market is booming. A lot of artists are feeling themselves. It’s unfortunate how some artists treat their fans.

Bought the print. Received it damaged. Contacted them on instagram and email within a couple hours of signing for the print. Was told to send my email to a certain email address, which I did. Have sent multiple emails now including pictures, a week later, no response. Might have to file paypal dispute in next couple days...

Oh but they answered my email inquiring about AP's but wont answer in response to my damaged one...

More poor customer service reported! I've heard of a few receiving there's damaged now, sounds like the packing was far from satisfactory - atleast they have plenty left to replace them. Doesn't take long to reply to an email, very poor form from him...

Very True!! I was giving them to end of business day today.
Sucks because I really like the print.

Sorry to read these bad experiences here...

I had a top notch experience with them!
- fast and clear communication
- fast shipping and great packaging
- Amazing print quality

And a courtesy email out of the blue asking if I was happy with my purchase and asking if I needed anything from them.

I did notice that a female was handeling everything and that Shok-1 him self is not involved in this proces anymore.

That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I experienced.

From what I understand they went thru the people in the first round who ordered multiple copies or were flippers and decided to remove them from the first 150 people which then left 6 prints left for the 146 people who had expressed an interest but missed out. Out of those 146 people they were asked if they wanted to go into a ballot for the remaining 6 prints but at 400 rather than 300. I would consider myself lucky to be able to buy one of these at 400 as they look like stunning prints. Hopefully mine dosn't arrive damaged though. I do have some questions on VAT though as wanted to export it directly to NZ (and didnt want to pay tax twice on the print) and most other artists have been ok with that and done a VAT refund that usually pays for the shipping.

Think I like the top one better, but it's a very subtle difference.

I did not unfortunately.  The scratch/indentation or whatever is on the border, the matting may cover most of it I believe. Hopefully it will flatten out in time. 

turns out Shok is not registered for VAT so cant claim it back as hasnt been charged in the first place so no major issues there.  I guess most stuff I have bought in the past has been from galleries etc so been a lot easier to deal with.
