Non-Alamo Graphic Art Movie Posters

I know. But I assume it's the same elsewhere. A year or two ago I was told by Australia post that America had added an extra charge for mail entering the states so they could do extra security checks. This is only for parcels above a certain size and or weight.
It's IMHO not really fair. If America wants extra security checks then America should foot the bill.
I used to mail to USA for $12 and the same parcel now is at least $25 (with no insurance)
Makes selling $10 posters to the states almost impossible.

Ive had a couple parcels arrive from the UK in the last year... and both sellers charged a whole 10-12 dollars USD.

So im not sure if that security check fee might be for larger or heavier items?

In my experience, that seems to be the case.  I've also received a few one sheet sized packages from the UK for about that price, but I recently got quotes from two different UK sellers for a bus shelter size, and both quotes were $60 uninsured or about $100 insured.  With international shipping, the additional cost of insurance and/or the large size packages seem to make the overall cost substantially more expensive.

WoW Brandon... that $100 bucks hurts. You have to be careful with shipping from the UK . The costs can vary significantly - parcel force or USPS, etc have slitghlty different costs. I shipped posters to the US - average $20-$25 in heavy tubes, though other posters were more expensive as they were heavier. But that's because I opted for a quicker delivery - and some insurance. There are different options so make sure they give you those before shipping it out to you. 

Royal Mail- Parcelforce seems to be the cheaper option in the UK (my quotes are always lower with them and never had any issues). So you might want to explore costs with that carrier.

Yes, agree with Rosa - or www.parcel2go.com is sometimes cheaper

e.g. for a 4" Yazoo tube, Parcelforce tracked and insured is around £20.50 to the US I believe? There is a courier that will do it for £16.50 on parcel2go at the moment.

Mind you, compared to the cost of posting a tube within the UK, it's pretty decent value!

Thanks Tob and Ben for the info.  I ended up getting one after reading your comments.  I'm truly amazed at what postal services around the world charge these days.  Ridiculous, imo.

Cool, despite the cost, if the print quality is good, I think this should look special and be worth the money.

[Neo]

Thanks for the info., Rosa and Tob.  I'll check out the parcel2go site.

Brandon, my 2 King Kong UK bus shelters cost ~$100 (60GBP) for shipping through Parcelforce. The tube was too big for Royal Mail. It hurt, but at least the seller gave me a deal on picking up both posters. Shipping is the bane of this hobby.

Add taxes too😈😠😕

Zoinks!    

I'm gonna do some research, and I'll let y'all know if I find a cheaper shipping method for shipping them big packages internationally.

[Tob]

Hi Ted, hope you're well bud. I did get one...I couldn't resist, particularly as they're shipped from the UK. It's nice not to have to pay high shipping and extra duty on top.

Good for you, man.
Delort's ink work is very refreshing, reminiscent of Dore or Booth.
It's a terrific piece.

This Nosferatu poster by Ken Taylor is looking pretty sweet to me.

Isn't that in the Mondo drop tomorrow?

I was aware of Franklin Booth, but not (Gustave) Dore. I just had a Google...stunning imagery, thanks for that.

[Mirosae]

How does it look in person Tob? Sepia tone or is it more B&W?

[Tob]

It hasn't arrived yet Rosa - it looks like the regular will be more B&W and the variant will be more sepia? I'll post some detail photos if I spot any from the sellers (or will take some when it shows up).

From the upcoming Spoke Art show Quentin vs. Coen part 3, I am not a Budich fan, but I kinda like this one.
 
It's relatively uncluttered compared to his normal stuff, and it looks like the dude is ready to say, “This Aggression Will Not Stand, Man”



The Dude Abides.

[Mirosae]

^ nice poster. The film is fab..!

@Tob..hope you got your poster now. I think it is truly beautiful *sorry. I'm repeating myself here.

[eatbrie]

OMG, I'm sorry guys, but Budich is horrible.  This is just plain bad.  There is nothing creative, nothing interesting, nothing different about this print.

[wonka]

Yeah, Budich is awful, mostly because he refuses to draw or create something new on his own accord.

I was aware of Franklin Booth, but not (Gustave) Dore. I just had a Google...stunning imagery, thanks for that.

Dore is one of my artistic idols. I was first exposed to his art when I was maybe 10 and I have a couple first editions including the 2-book Don Quixote set
I should take a pic. Bound in lambskin or something like that, gold edged pages, the 2 volume set is about 7-8 inches laying flat. Geez. I think I paid $250 for them 35 years ago.

no doubt his most famous edition is Dante's Inferno which has many editions and Rime of the Ancient Mariner which is really superb

Oh I also have an Edgar Allan Poe edition he illustrated that is some 14x22 inches or so.

great stuff.

A few recent Englert. 
Really like CE3K and its GoD effect.  Jaws is pretty cool too, IMO.  Got both.  Passed on ET.  The moon is just too big.

The CE3K and its GoD effect is very cool.

Thierry, I'm assuming you passed on the variant?
