If you also run two of the pieces North and South and the other two East and West grainwise, you create a very strong exercise in frustration for the post office gorillas.
I'll raise a glass to the illusion but drink to the reality.

Oh lord I may have made a mistake then when I took 8 window cards to the ups store today.  I told him to mail them flat but I didn't tell him to do all that with the craft paper and putting 4 extra pieces of card board between.  I hope the ups man did it carefully! I really need to sell all these soon cause I suck at shipping! Rich I'm calling you tomorrow evening!

Lori,

Did your shipped WC all get to their new owners safe n sound? Did UPS package them well?

Hope it all worked out for you and your buyers!  ;)

I always appreciated receiving that kind of stuff in a padded mailer sandwiched between foam core.

This is what I do.

Well...My luck never holds out, it's either the Royal Mail, or some ebay pillock...

Yes this is a full size Quad in a half size tube...




The thick twat rolled it while folded, and stuffed it in the thinest tube he could find!  needless to say the middle fold was in bad shape, and torn in places...

Grief, I have never seen nor experienced packing like that.  Folded and then rolled!  This idiot really is one step up from monkeys.

Too bad fella.  Money back, repair, what now?

Opps I was supposed to be putting those away....I was too busy being annoyed at the packing..

The poster was only cheap, so I'll keep it, maybe just leave negative feedback. It's currently under the patented Waines poster press... ;)

I had an interesting one this morning...

A quad turned up in a tube that was only about 20" in length - the other third of the poster was poking out with just some kraft paper and bubble wrap covering it! Suffice to say, it took a battering.

I'm not massively annoyed as the seller at least went to so some effort to package it, they were just naive on how delicate these things get handled I suppose! The poster is cheap, but quite rare, so it's a little annoying, but the world will keep spinning.

There is more damage on the other side (dents rather than creases), but yeah, it could have been worse for sure! I think perhaps because it came by courier and not Royal Mail, so it gets handled a bit more gently.

I think that is massively forgiving of you.

No tube - is stupid all the way.

A weak tube - is also stupid all the way.

A strong tube that covers only half of the poster takes Stupid to a whole new level.  What can this person haev ben thinking of, or with?

Hey Tob did they originally make a full length tube out of two separate pieces and one end fell off or was there never anything tubewise on that end?

Unfortunately no, Paul.  I would say that 20% of all tubes I receive from Ebay sellers are damaged and have to be returned for full reimbursement including shipping both ways.

This is the text I send to everyone I buy from.  Still, many don't give a shit.

Hi,

I just paid you.

I get a lot of damaged posters that I return to sellers for Paypal reimbursement. 

Please, please, please, send the poster in a strong tube and roll it up tighter than the tube, so that if the tube gets hit (and it will) the poster has a chance to make it intact, because it is not pressed tightly up against the interior surface of the tube.  Also, please add protection at each end, like paper towels.  Too many sellers just "throw" them in tubes with no protection.

I send this message to everyone I buy from, and some sellers still decide that it’s not worth their time.  I guarantee you the poster WILL get damaged if you don’t.  Why take the risk?  It takes 2 minutes to package it properly.

Thanks,

Thierry

Nah, it was just a short tube! I guess the only one they had!

I guess it's always a gamble buying from random sellers, particularly if they've never sold a poster. Im not too mad as at least the person spent time trying to protect it (despite naivety/lack of common sense) and life's too short to worry about such things. I might have to start sending a message similar to T from now on though.
