Ladies, Gentle-persons, members of the press, Mr. Gaiman. I stand here today a changed man, enlightened and stripped of my deep-rooted skepticism by the grace and care of Neverwear Minion Cat M.
The true story begins perhaps a year ago when my lovely bride did meet Ms. D'Errico and fell in love with her art and spent many of my dollars on the same. Forward to her discovery of the "How to Talk to Girls at Parties" print, a marriage, if you will (and I do, please and thank you), of two artists of great talent (and not a little of our shelf space.) I did bookmark this item, mentally and literally. Skip to Christmas-time, 2009 and I am Hunter of prezzies, Marquis de Noel. My mental bookmark long gone, I turn to my browser’s and oh joy of joys, a Door doth appear and it is marked: "Husband of the Year. This Way". My credit card is in my hand and I’m ordering the print. I can already hear the praise, "how did you remember?! You’re the greatest man ever! Hugh Jackman has nothing on you!" Then: the horror. While the delivery was prompt, and the care with which the print was packed within an impressively heavy-duty tube was commendable, it simply could not withstand the combined weight of yuletide compensations. My best guess is that it was leapt upon by a lord, or perhaps leaned against by a maid a’ milking. At any rate, the mighty shipping tube, even adorned with the cute little star sticker, was smooshed, and with it the beautiful print and my hopes of my HOTY award. I emailed the good folks at Neverwear and explained the whole thing, noting that the damage was obviously not the fault of the shipper, but hoping that something could be done. I was pretty much resolved to be out of luck and perhaps buy another print later on. BUT… And it was in that dark hour the elf did appear, "I’ll fix it right up, just never you fear!" "Where did you come from?", I wondered aloud "I come from Saint Neil", she said very proud. "I’ve gotten your message", said the kind little elf, "I’ll replace it right quick, and do it myself!" "You’ll get that award, on this I do swear!" said my new elf friend from Neverwear. Out she went, in the snow and the cold LA can get chilly, or so I am told. Cat’s my new hero, she saved my behind A more dedicated minion, you’ll never find. The staff at Neverwear, and Cat M. in particular, went above and beyond to make sure I was totally satisfied with my print. Awesome contact, prompt shipping all the way to the Boston area, mega friendly, and the print itself is fantastic. Please give the NW minions a raise if you pay them, pay them if you don’t, stop the beatings at least for Christmas. They’ve certainly earned it. I will buy more things from Neverwear, and will instruct my friends to do the same. I’m going to buy another copy of American Gods just for the hell of it. I might even buy another copy of Yes, Virginia just out of association. THANK YOU!! Rick Woolford rick@pseudodigm.com Bought this as a birthday present for myself during the Halloween sale, and it is totally worth it. Beautiful colors, sturdy cardstock, arrived super-fast, and they decorated the shipping tube with stickers! I'd buy something from Neverwear anytime!
Lovely print! Very vibrant. The number was a little smudged though (the handwritten 152/1200) but that's ok, I love it anyway! It also came with a handwritten thanks and a few little buttons as well...very cute. Thanks a bunch!
The Print: The colors are eye-poppingly fresh. The quality of the print is framing worthy. It should be in any home that appreciates fine arts.
The Shipping: Quickly processed, well-packaged, and delivered in a short time period. All around this deserves more than the five stars I was limited to rating it. Gorgeous, good cardstock for the print, very nice printing quality! You could beat a man to death with the tube, too. And they even said thanks! Awww. You don't need to thank me! Make awesome things and I will buy them.
