Thanks for the reply.
Nothing is signed - It's just a A3 music poster that he designed and lots of people have asked to buy it. He's sold it and now we are arranging for Prints and Tubes. I was just wondering if worth trying to do a deal with someone in the US to post. Royal mail are charging £5.55 to send (un-tracked and un-signed) which is actually not a bad price.
IF you have a contact who ships for a living that would be great to see if we can do any better - We have about 400 to send worldwide.
He has the time to post and package as doing A-Levels and not really working that much!
Thank you.
£5.55 seems a decent price, but remember to add in the cost of good tubes to survive international post and other supplies e.g. if you're shipping rolled, you'd probably want craft paper to wrap the poster in to prevent damage as in this guide -
http://www.moviepostercollectors.guide/Shipping_Posters.html. If he has time himself, it could be a good project for him!
I will send you the private message with the email address of my friend. He ships artwork for some of the Mondo artists like Tula Lotay, Olly Moss, Jock etc. so is experienced and uses good quality materials to ensure safe arrival. He can also provide info on printing if needed.
I suspect getting it printed and shipped from the US may be cheapest, but make sure you get references as the last thing you probably want is for a company to ship the posters badly and you end up with damaged posters and unhappy buyers. When I have bought posters/prints from artists/shops and received badly packaged/damaged items, it puts me off ordering again in the future.
