SOCO Gallery — Attraction in Charlotte

I have been collecting art for many years now and have never experienced the ineptitude and unprofessionalism that l have had with this so-called gallery full stop!

She never once asked me if this was okay and the shipping fees were absolutely astronomical!

I use a business address for shipping and Saturday delivery isn’t even possible! ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE CUSTOMER FIRST BEFORE MAKING SUCH BIG DECISIONS!
