LA Show Prints?, by bonesy on Feb 16, 2007 21:17:32 GMT 1,
Though it wasnt separate receipts for each print. If someone has a receipt with 3 prints on it and is selling 1 of the 3 prints I think theyd be apprehensive to give the original receipt.

No New Releases, by bonesy on Feb 20, 2007 16:11:35 GMT 1, The people who lose out are the ones who listen to what POW have said. Even if they were trying to stop the site from going down it doesn't justify blatant lieing to potential customers about wether prints are going to be released or not.
On todays info? They told us exactly what ended up happening.

POW and Damaged Print Handling, by bonesy on Jan 9, 2007 2:24:42 GMT 1,
Thats not a good thing in my eyes. Once an edition is numbered that should be the end of it.... If theyre concerned with replacing prints than they should put some of the edition aside. I think here in the states theres actually laws against this type of thing in certain states.

POW just announced no LA prints till next year, by bonesy on Nov 27, 2006 21:57:19 GMT 1, Overall Im not happy with this news- There will be 10's of thousands of entries. Just dont send out the heads up email. If you are die hard and online checking their site constantly you're worthy. This is going to be seen as basically a free entry lottery to win money. The info will be on Hypebeast, Highsnobiety and all those types of websites. Ill guess now that 50% of each run ends up on ebay within 6 months.
I just hope they take credit card numbers and address's at the time of registration to help avoid multiple entries. Even that wont totally help but its better than just taking email address's.

lots of new prints on sale at POW, by bonesy on Dec 8, 2006 17:35:20 GMT 1, Since the POW email the website looks to have gone belly up :-)
With no problems testerday when the prints actually went up for sale. I hope this makes them realized the problem with site crowding is from the email notifications. Just throw prints up w/o the email and life will get easier for them.

The other 400 prints, by bonesy on Oct 2, 2006 21:55:17 GMT 1, My guess is the signed will be 1-50 as LA is #50-150.

The other 400 prints, by bonesy on Sept 19, 2006 22:37:33 GMT 1, They had a small sign saying the prints would be "avail at picturesonwalls.com soonish" They will be printed over there and wont have the deckled edge so the L.A. ones will be distinguishable (and numbered b/w 50 and 150).

POW Shipping Charges, by bonesy on Sept 30, 2006 1:39:06 GMT 1, Steph got back to me and said that the shipping for tubes is very expensive and she apologizes. I paid 32 pounds to ship the posters and the actual shipping was 16. On the stickers she said she would look into it and refund me the difference; I paid 21 and it cost them under 5.
Im not gonna make a big deal about it.... if I get a small refund great, if not whatever Im not gonna contact them again; I dont want to hassle Steph about it. Shes always been great at getting back to me. It does annoy me though that I paid 53 pounds in shipping and it cost them 21 pounds (plus a tube)......

POW Shipping Charges, by bonesy on Sept 27, 2006 20:17:03 GMT 1, What up Jared
They are quick Ill give them that, typically less than 2 weeks. I ordered these posters when I got back from LA (fearing a rush and they may stop producing) and they arrived today. In the past theyve been quick too.
I sent them an email asking if the charges were correct and never received a response back.... Im not trying to bust balls and dont mind paying an international shipping premium- but $42 to ship 6 stickers is just dumb, though I guess I did still buy them

POW Shipping Charges, by bonesy on Sept 27, 2006 17:50:27 GMT 1, Does POW charge ridiculous shipping rates everywhere, or just to the US? It is INSANE what they charge. I put off ordering smaller items in the past because of this. A couple weeks ago I ordered 5 Soup Can posters and 6 Keep Left stickers, OVER $100 IN SHIPPING I was charged. Each additional sticker.... 3.5 pounds. Because shipping 6 stickers Im sure costs around 21 pounds right? Well, it aint right.

New Banksy Print, by bonesy on Jul 9, 2006 1:19:06 GMT 1, For the POW website I think there is going to be a new print in september if you look at the desert island disc section it says Banksy selection will be up then and I think it'll be part of a new sell on but to be honest from looking at the new stuf on his website he may be turning a new direction which is less humourous. You can't be underground for to long and sell a canvas to robbie williams for 40k
I hope you're right, but I interpret that as meaning they'll have his interview up in September, not necessarily a print.

Props to POW, by bonesy on Oct 29, 2007 22:56:45 GMT 1, I must say that I disagree with this sentiment. They have clearly improved the functionality of their site. But, the ProTX stage of the transaction is still a disaster. And, as long as that's the case, the customer service experience in total is going to be lousy. I'm sure there are dozens, probably hundreds, of people (including myself) who stayed up for hours on end F5'ing till their fingers were numb...then were lucky enough to put a print in their basket only to have the whole thing go down the drain with ProTX. This is POW's problem. They're the ones who outsourced to these morons. I should be the proud owner of a Trolley's (Colour) print. Instead, I'm a disgruntled grouch with extra space on my wall.
If you got in your basket and had a problem at Protx POW is going to still sell you the print you had in your basket.

Props to POW, by bonesy on Oct 29, 2007 22:04:05 GMT 1, Ive talked trash about POW in the past (extra prints, getting shafted on MY Grannies print) but I gotta give it up to them for as smooth a release of this proportion as possible.
They did do a good job here (besides the Protx thing which they are addressing). I was on the phone with a friend when the Signed Color came up and immediately dropped #260 or 270 something into my cart. He was at his computer F5ing as well and by the time the page loaded for him (10 second maybe) he dropped #600 something into his cart. All 750 colored prints were gone within 20 seconds. They invested the money into LOTS of bandwidth and a good cart system and it has worked out, props to them.
Too bad their outsourced crdit card processing company cant handle the traffic now but they seem to be addressing this.

Whats happend with Miss bugs, by bonesy on Feb 14, 2008 21:58:04 GMT 1, I was lucky enough to win a Scary Mail and offered to cover the cost of shipping to the US and he said no, shipping was free as well. Again, who does that? Great guy. Great art. He'll be around a long time.
