BCoffee Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hello, I follow David Lapham's instagram, and jumped on a page last month (December) when he had an end of the year sale. They were very responsive and let me know the page was still available. I bought it on Dec 29th, and have not heard a peep from them since. I have emailed a couple times just checking to see if it was ever sent, or if they were going to send tracking. It's been a month with no correspondence or response. Anyone had any experience with him? Should I be worried? Thanks Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodou Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I buy regularly from David. He ships when he ships, but -so far- he does always ship. I'm not sure that's helpful, but it's...something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you've got six months coverage; just keep an eye on that. BCoffee and Twanj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, this is why I am not a fan of sending comic art dealers or artists payment as friends and family. So many of them ask for that these days. I think it is to protect themselves from people claiming the art was never delivered (or to save on the 3% paypal fee, which I am glad to cover, or maybe a tax incentive), but if you have tracking, I am not sure how that would be defensible.

You may be right, but that doesn’t mean a disaster always awaits. I recently bought some inked pages from Daniel Henriques in Spain, and the shipment was faster than most things I buy here. The only hick-up was the DHL driver who couldn’t find the building (obviously not the artist’s fault). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Parker Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 FWIW, I ordered some pages from David in November last year along with a commission and received them yesterday. Outstanding work. As @vodou said, he ships when he ships, but I doubt you have anything to worry about (if you haven't received them already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually responded to me last week after I tried him again. My page looks like it has shipped as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
