Nope, still sitting at shipping soon for me. Was hoping they'd have them out Monday, but that obviously didn't happen.

My credit card was charged back on November 19th and haven't heard anything since.
I thought I would have this in plenty of time for Christmas as it's going to be a gift for my girlfriend.
Getting kinda worried now.

That's the exact same situation for me. I even ponder if the actual Poison Ivy statue might arrive before the print.

If it's framed, I highly doubt it will ship this month. I would suggest giving Her a card with a you're be getting an Ivy print soon

Hey, have a question about flattening/ storing prints

Have my kier print, I put it in between two flat peices of stiff card bored (the inserts in the besta glass doors. Then I put two pax shelves on top of it for some weight.

Before I did the above I also let the print in unroll naturally for a few days.

I left the shelves on top of it for about a week. When I took them off it was still curled so I flipped the print over on the other side and put even more shelves of it.

Left it for another week and checked and it is still slightly curled.

Any tips to flatten it? I know the ideal was is to find a print press but I have not had much luck finding a place.

My second question is I bought a print portfolio case to store these prints..... Inside are "sleeves" with black card bored in them. To be honest the sleeves are kind of flimsy, are you supposed to keep the black cardbored insert in the sleeve with the print? I was surprised how hard it was to attempt to slide the print into the sleeves....they also seemed a bit flimsy (even though they are expensive)

Without a press, there's no better option than keeping it pressed. In future, I recommend placing acid free paper between the box card and print. Otherwise you're risking dirt, ink etc transferring onto the print.

Generally speaking, polypropylene sleeves are thin. PVC are ticker but can damage prints overtime. Only keep the card if it is acid free. If the card insert is a problem, replace it with acid free paper. Any weight is fine. 300 gsm makes it easier/safer to turn pages compared to 80 gsm. It's main purpose is to prevent the backs of prints directly touching.

Overtime, the print will flatten inside the portfolio. I keep a sheet of foam board in the front and back sleeve of mine, to keep everything evenly sandwiched.

I believe SSAlex has stated earlier in this thread that the Ivy print got delayed for a few more weeks.

I like how Sideshow was quick to take my money for Ivy but is late on shipping. Don't take my money if you don't have item to ship.

Thanks! But I ordered my Ivy print unframed. Would be almost $300 with the frame to get it to Canada.

And they took my payment on November 19th.
