Well if you think Heavy poster tubes are the way to go, think again. Those wonderful ..................Boys at the Royal mail do like a challange, and they wasted no time in destroying a heavy walled poster tube. Their next step Plastic Waste pipe, BEWERE.
I'm sure they read "All popater forum" just to see how Pissed off they can make us. So far it's 4408 to 0. There's some clever people on here, and I want suggestions on how we can hit back. So come on guy's thinking caps on.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! What was the poster, Paul? Was it ensured? Royal Mail sucks beyond belief. I don't know what it is about this entity, what they do with tubes... I mean, I understand playing football with a small box, but the brits are not even into baseball... I feel your pain, man.

Man, that tube is mangled. How the hell does the Royal Mail explain such abuse??
So sorry it happened, Paul. That is tragic.

they take the piss....
i had a roll of 10 moon quads crushed a while back, it was double heavy duty tubed... done my nut in the sorting office, no exageration, it must have been run over by a car or van...
please calm down sir & fill in this claim form.
F*@K The Claim Form.. i want my posters....
sorry about the language, but i just cant understand how these people hold a monopoly on mail...they lose like 14.4 million letters per year.
and put over 60% in the WRONG letterbox.

Luckily it was only a cheap one £4.99, but not the point, even Ted's Sleeving would not have saved this one. It has had something Very heavy on it like a Lorry?

Well, now it makes sense. They probably read the title thru X-Rays and a Royal Mail employee who had just spent money to see the movie and felt like an idiot went crazy on the poster. Revenge can be deadly.

Touch wood I've never had a problem with tubes and have posted 200 in the last year. I get mine from the local carpet shop. The tubes that they roll the vinyls on is about 6mm thick and have to be cut with a saw. You can buy the end caps off ebay. They get free disposal, I get free tubes, and we both sleep well at night knowing we've done our bit for recycling  |

Wow...Thats great work that the Royal Mail does. They win the gold. I agree. How much the poster costs isnt the point. Its the incompetence and the disregard for other peoples things thats disturbing. Dont let this keep you from buying new stuff  |

That is certainly some of the worst shipping damage I have seen! Thankfully it wasn't something special inside  |

Man, that's a sorry sight. I guess we've all been on the end of tube damage, but submerged wetness. Yikes! |

US senders have no excuse as they can get Yazoo tubes over there. |

Most people in the US can actually have cores made stronger than Yazoo specks and at half the price with a little research.

The same applies for sellers in the UK, too! Cardboard tube manufacturers will quote for any dimensions you require. First stop Google, then choose a supplier near you! Best wishes, Terry |
