FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Do you ship to my country?
We ship to most countries that accept mail. Please let us know if you do not see a shipping rate for your order by emailing us at Orders@Obeygiant.com
What are your International Shipping rates?
We ship via FedEx International Economy service. The cost for this service ranges from $20 to $40+ depending on your location as well as the weight and value of your order. Purchase 'Order Protection' during checkout to ensure your order is covered for loss or damage. Import fees, duties and taxes (due upon delivery) are the customer's responsibility.
Why is FedEx charging me for shipping when I already paid?
IMPORTANT TO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS – ADDITIONAL CUSTOM CHARGES (except UK orders): The shipping charges that are incorporated into your bill automatically from our shopping cart, and reflected in your invoice from us, are for the actual shipping of the item into your country only. Please be aware that each country has its own “Import Duty”, “VAT” for all commercial imports. You may want to check with your local FedEx or Customs office to find out just what these charges may be. We cannot assume any responsibility for import fees and therefore these fees are your own responsibility. Please note: FedEx only makes 3 delivery attempts and in most cases will not deliver your package until import fees are paid. FedEx will contact you for payment prior to delivery or at the time of delivery.
Time in transit for international shipments is normally 5 to 6 business days.
Warning!
Duties and taxes will be charged at the time of delivery. We will not refund your order if you refuse to pay the fees to accept your package from FedEx. If you do not accept your package from FedEx it will not be returned to Obey and may be abandoned or destroyed.
Thank you for your understanding.
How much will I pay in Duty and VAT charges?
For more information please call Regulatory Consulting: 800-851-3336 x 4 and they’ll be able to confirm what the D/T and VAT would be on certain products when shipping to different countries. For issues or questions about packages going to France here is the best email address: fr_iad@fedex.com
Why do you need my Tax ID number?
If we ask for your tax ID number during checkout it is because this is required by the customs office in your country. Without it, your package could be held in customs, returned to us or abandoned.We are only trying to help your delivery go as smoothly as possible. Please include your Tax ID if requested.
PRINT RELEASES
Do you have any tips for purchasing?
We recommend that you first clear your browsing history then add any regular store items to your cart and fill in your shipping address prior to the print release then go back to the prints page and refresh the page until the new print is released. Engage the Auto-fill function of your Browser and check out with Paypal One-Touch.
Can you send me a particular number?
Due to the high number of orders that we process during print releases we can not accept print number requests, including AP requests. All customers will be served equally and prints will be dispersed in numerical sequence.
What forms of payment do you take?
We accept payment from all major credit cards, Shop Pay, Paypal and Venmo.
I was lucky enough to purchase both prints. Can you send matching numbers and ship in one tube?
We do not combine orders. If you purchased a Print Set that is sold as a single item or you purchased both prints in the same order then you will receive a matching numbered set.
I accidentally submitted my order twice. Can you refund my second order?
The purchase limit for sales of our limited edition Screen Print editions is 1 per customer/household. We issue refunds for orders in excess of the purchase limit. To avoid double orders, do not hit the submit button more than once even though it looks like the first submit didn’t take.
Please allow from 24 to 48 business hours for refunds to be processed on our end and then it can take from 5 to 8 business days for the funds to return to your bank. International refunds can take up to 14 days (or sometimes longer) for your funds to be returned to your bank. Please note: the OBEY GIANT Orders Dept is not open on weekends.
I am having trouble processing my order? Did my order go through?
If you experience order troubles during a print release there are a few things that can help:
1. Please refrain from submitting your order multiple times.
2. Adding the product to your cart DOES NOT guarantee your purchase. After logging in to PayPal, you will return to the Store to verify your order, it is here where our inventory is checked. If you are given an “UNAVAILABLE” response, the product has been or is in the process of being sold out and is no longer available.
3. If your order was processed you will receive an email from PAYPAL confirming payment. You can verify your payment through your PAYPAL Account. Shipping of your order will be indicated through a Shipping Notification email with your shipments tracking information. ALL ORDERS ARE SUBJECT TO REFUNDS BASED ON AVAILABILITY AND OUR TERMS & CONDITIONS.
Where do I go to buy the prints that are being released?
All prints that you see previewed on the homepage will be available for purchase in the “PRINTS” section of the OBEY Store (unless otherwise noted). HINT: You may want to go to that page early and keep refreshing the page until the print appears.
When are New Prints released?
Typically prints are released at 10am US Pacific Time on a Tuesday or Thursday. Exact release times may vary and announcements will be posted prior to the sale.
Why was I refunded?
We reserve the right, at any time after receipt of your order, to accept or decline your order for any reason. We reserve the right, at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. We may need to verify any information you provide before we accept an order. Item availability and prices of all products sold at the obeygiant.com site are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to limit quantities on certain items. FINAL CONFIRMATION OF PURCHASE is processed through our Shopping Cart after you have submitted your information to PAYPAL. At that time your item(s) will be checked against our inventory and confirmation of your order will be verified. For more information see"Why can't I buy more than one print?"
I had a print in my cart but I only got an error message then I tried again and the print was sold out!
Adding an item to your Shopping Cart does NOT guarantee or reserve an item for you. The faster you check out the better your chances of completing you order! Good Luck!
Why can’t I buy more than one print?
- All numbered prints are subject to our 1 print per Customer / Household policy. There are NO EXCEPTIONS. It is our goal to make prints available to collectors who intend to enjoy the art for months and years to come. Multiple orders of limited edition items will be refunded. If you order using multiple addresses your orders will be refunded. If you consistently place multiple orders and/or are suspected of profiteering (ie. Ebay pre-sales) your orders will be refunded and you will be blocked from future purchases.
VERISART COA
What Is a Verisart COA?
Verisart COAs are digital certificates registered on the blockchain. They include Shepard’s verified signature and show that the work is a genuine Obey Giant print. They show the history of ownership: when the print was purchased and if it has been sold. This is an important step in our fight against fraudsters and flippers. If you decide to gift or sell the work in future, you’ll need to transfer the COA to the new owner. If you’re considering buying an Obey work, always ask to see the COA.
How Does It Work?
If you buy a limited edition print on the Obey Store, you’ll receive two emails. The first is the usual order confirmation with the details of what you bought. The second email contains the details of your COA. From the email, you can click through to view the COA. If you want to print it, transfer it or see other COAs you’ve received, you’ll need to create a free Verisart collector account at verisart.com/signup.
Which Works Have COA's?
We’re currently offering COAs on fine artwork and limited edition prints. In future, we may offer COAs on other types works. We’re also looking into secure stickers that allow you to link your physical artwork or print with the digital COA.
Can I get COAs for prints I already own? Yes, we’re working on a system for anyone who bought prints from the store from previous years to request a COA for them. You will need the email address and order number from your original purchase. This should be available later this year and we’ll announce it here and by email.
Helpful Guides and Articles
Prints in General
What is your return policy?
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. If you are not satisfied with your purchase you may return it to us in mint condition for a store credit in the form of a Gift Card. Returns for store credit are only available within 7 days from the date your order was delivered.
How to unpack your print?
Your print is rolled into a sheet of kraft paper and sealed with tape. Locate the tab at one end of the tape and gently pull the tape from the kraft paper. Go slowly and be careful not to rip the paper or the print inside.
Unroll the print from the kraft paper onto a flat surface. You may want to place a heavy object on each corner to help flatten the curled edges.
We do not recommend using a utility knife or any other sharp tool to cut the tape and/or the paper. Do not attempt to remove the print from the kraft paper without first removing the tape.
Obey Giant is not responsible for prints damaged when unwrapping.
Thank You!
