I like anything with the ABC logo on, and I know quite a lot of our American friends don't like Double bill posters, but I like them also. they are from a time gone by... So they fill a space, Mmmm... I may start a Double bill thread...  |

Yes, do it! I'll post my Bond double bills!  The only ABC quad I have is a Dirty Harry version. I like it now more so than when I tried to sell it! I say tried, because I think it was at a time when everyone thought differently of me! |

Nice double-bills, Paul. Too bad they've been crinkled by the RM gorillas.
I second the motion for a double-bill thread!
It'll bring a lot of cool paper out of the woodwork.

Hi Paul, Do those most recent pics tell a story or what. Just curious, tho. Was that tube that was used a solid, thicker type? Or one of the more flimsy kind that even a sneeze could damage? If it's a cheap, thin tube, I would be emailing the seller, as well.  Jeff |

It was one of the more thinner tubes, I have emailed the seller, What a tosser. He won't except responsibility for any thing, saying it's the Royal Mails fault and he's in the clear...

Bad seller all the way. Responsibility of the packaging should always remain with the seller in my opinion. However, what happens to the package in transit is the responsibility of the postal service involved. I would never send a poster in such a thin tube, but if I did and that happened I would return the cost of P&P in full and give a partial refund or ask for the posters to be returned to me with a full refund given. But like I say, I would never use such a flimsy tube. I once had hundreds of tubes, but binned 90% of them because they were terrible; no joke, I could crush some of them using my little finger and thumb! Hope you get sorted, Paul! |

Well my luck finally ran out with Royal Mail. My tube looks to have been used to play cricket with. It was a decent tube too. I tested it on my table it took three good wacks to weaken the tube. Sometimes I think the shipping guys see poster written on the side and say hey lets beat this one on the edge of that rail there! Why should he get his poster in decent condition? Luckily no breaking white but repeating rough spots through the whole top of the quad. Not worth sending it back and I already have one anyway... Stargate Quad... for 6 pounds couldn't resist..

Ahh, the Royal Mail, whats this Fetish they have for rubber bands....  I always know when they have been as they leave red one's on my Drive. Which means they are not only incompetent, they are Litter bugs also. |

I think I might be done buying posters from the UK. I've reached my limit in bad packaging. I mean, I buy from all around the world, and the only country I systematically have problems with is the UK. 1 out of 2 tubes comes badly hit, the tubes are flimsy, it's just not worth the angst. I'm tired of it.

Hi, T! I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is NO excuse for bad packaging. It's the fault of the individual seller, NOT the UK as a whole. Please don't tar us all with the same brush. It is easy to obtain satisfactory packaging materials. Best wishes, Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk |

It is easy to obtain satisfactory packaging materials. Best wishes, Terry - www.quadbod.co.ukI do not personally believe that Royal Mail are any worse than any other delivery organisation around the world but it is evident that many collectors do have problems in receiving posters safely from the UK. At the weekend, for only the second time in 15 years, I received a mangled strong tube from the US. Over that period Royal Mail have been responsible for on average 50% of the time spent handling each international tube shipment I have received - there have been hundreds - and that is not a bad record. I entirely agree that the seller is responsible for ensuring proper packaging but I have asked this question before. Where in the UK can a prospective and/or occasional poster seller buy tubes of equivalent strength to those from yazoo mills? I am not talking about special orders or bulk purchases or cutting down lengths of pvc pipe. Even our post offices sell the flimsiest tubes. Mark |

I think the problem is less to do with the delivery side, but more to do as you mentioned the flimsy tubes which royal mail sell to their customers, so I think bagging Royal Mail is still warranted. I suspect UK people are just the same as else where... it comes down to the royal fail. I dont know how really flimsy the tubes are but i can well imagine. Maybe the solution is buying more than one tube and slicing them to fit over each other... maybe you'll need 3 or more! |

I just got this e-mail from an English buyer: "Just to let you know I received the package, thanks. This tube was like a bazooka - indistructable! My friends were so impressed and I put it on forum for other collectors to see:
http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74150 Cheers!" So the tubes you use DO indeed make a big difference! Bruce P.S. The fellow took the time to post pictures of the tube, and one of those commenting calls that "tube porn"! |
