The VU's New York - Guide Map

Post by bleach » 24 Feb 2016 17:49

I ordered this today as at some point I will get to NYC to see the sites, it looks like a nice idea and someone has put some effort/shoe leather into the project. The only slight rub was that they wanted ?3.45 for UK postage :evil:

Yeah I ordered it too - very naughty because it says free postage right up until you click order - then it adds ?3.45 postage

Doubly annoying when it then arrives in a small envelope with a first class stamp which cost them 0.63p

It's quite a nice little artefact - with the emphasis on little, it's definitely pocket-sized in every sense

Not quite an exhaustive list of locations either, but has the main ones.

In fact - I've realised that Trouva is a highl level agent site for a number of boutiques and this VU map was actually fulfilled by

http://dowsedesign.co.uk/products/velve ... -guide-map

Dowse Design have a flat rate of ?2.50 UK delivery for all items, so you would be better placed ordering it directly from them and cut out the rob dogs at Trouva

I complained to Trouva and got a ?2 refund on my postage :D

I'll put it towards a plane ticket to NYC so I can actually use the map haha
