Wow! That's so awesome! Where do you live? I am asking because I seem to be in a bit of a predicament. I live in the United States, and I made a portrait of him that I would like for him to have. I went through the trouble of purchasing two prints and a frame so that he could keep the framed one, then sign and return the other unframed print. When I just went to the mailroom to send it via UPS, I was told that the return package I have for the unframed print will cost me $57 alone. Let's now take into account that the return package is going to be sealed inside another package, along with the framed print, and we're talking over $100 for me to send this and HOPE that I get it back signed, if at all. I asked what if we put the unframed print in a sturdy envelope as opposed to a cylindrical tube, and they said it would cost the same. Surely, people aren't paying this type of money normally.
Do you, or anybody, have any ideas / tips as to how I can pull this off without having to spend so much money on shipping? I would love to send this to him. I live 25 minutes outside of Manhattan and have debated going to his NYC restaurant to drop it off, but I want to make sure he gets it.
Any help would be appreciated!
