I have never had a problem with the scheduled delivery on overnight ups and UPS 2nd day. I've also never had an issue with a damaged print unless it was sent via UPS ground. Just saying. Maybe I havent been around long enough to feel that pain, but I'm confident I will be a happy person tomorrow when the print arrives. Wooohooo!!

Got mine today with a HUGE effing hole in the box right beneath the "FRAGILE" sticker... nice touch UPS. Of course the print is damaged, just emailed iconoclast.

Mine is "In Transit - Rescheduled," now for July 6 (when I'll be out of town), just as I expected.

Good call on that one - just checked mine and same thing. I'm betting they went out late. No matter, just as long as it gets here safe.

Mine arrived yesterday with one side of the box stove in so badly its center was depressed an inch and a half. Got lucky - the paper wadding inside (barely) protected the envelope containing the print. Narrow escape, lovely print.

3 of my last 4 UPS deliveries have been ruined. Now the delivery date has changed from today to Monday. I hope this one survives the weekend. Probably no replacements on this one??

Mine was supposed to arrive yesterday, was rescheduled for today and they tried to deliver while I was out watching a polo match. UPS pisses me off. At least Fedex has an address to go pick it up right on the slip.

Thwarted UPS and went and got it. Nice packing job, but a little tedious to open while fearing for the print. :-) Mint fresh and sweet. This print doesn't have the thick ink the weekly stuff does, but it's very nice.

No they do not require a sig. If you are there, they may ask for one, but I wasnt and he left it on my deck.

Are these actually hand-pulled (as advertised)?

Boy! iCONoclast are real doouche bag rip off merchants. If your purchase of Soup Can II was unsuccessful for whatever reason, first they hold your money whilst promising you that you'll get another print from the series, then 3 weeks later throw a curve ball by saying you can have the chance to purchase Soup Can III or IV before the drop.
Only thing is you have to put $950 in their greedy hands to ensure that you can get one before the rest of the plebs!
Gimme back my bloody money! I can get it off ebay for much less!

Okay. Then sell yours back to them and buy one off ebay. Problem solved.

i got the same offer but declined as I don't have the $$ to go that deep - i thought it was a nice gesture -- better than nothing... but i really wonder who will go for it. I'll have to take my chances in the trenches on the 3 drop and hope for a better outcome..

They are offering $900 for the buy-back. So you're complaining about $50? Really?

So they made you an offer and you turned it down? That hardly sounds like a rip-off.
