Ripped off by Posterfix.....
« on: August 07, 2013, 10:04:33 AM »
New to the forum, this is my first post. I was just scammed by Chris at posterfix. Had I done my research I would have saw his horrible reviews. That's what I get for thinking someone on TV is a professional. Sending my stuff to Dario for linen backing.

Maybe we should have a section JUST devoted to Posterfix - with streamers, fireworks, flashing neon lights and several of these:




Thankfully Dario and the other reputables exist to be found!

Sorry to hear you had this bad experience.

Just thinking out aloud, it would be good if people who had a bad experience with a company such as PosterPricks create a video of their experience and post it on YouTube alongside their videos for all to see. (Hint hint ;) )

So does anyone know how confrontational this guy is? I have a buddy from High School that lives in Brooklyn. I may have him go down to posterfix to get my poster. And does anyone know who this guy on ebay is? I may be reaching here but...It's suspiciously close to posterfix and is the same type FG insert poster I sent in.

Oh he's confrontational alright (which can lead to great fun I am sure!).

By the way you haven't yet told us how exactly Posterdestroy ripped you off (although I am sure we can well imagine)?

Oh it's simple enough. Sent out my Flash Gordon Insert poster to have it linen mounted and minor fold touch up done. Paid $141 to have it done and shipped back. He told me 4-6 weeks. I paid via paypal. Didn't know paypal has a 45 day window to file a claim. He was very communicative up until the 45 day mark. Even told me he just had to cut it off the canvass and ship. Once the 45 day hit, he doesn't return my phone calls, doesn't respond to voicemails. Contacted paypal and they reluctantly refunded my $141 but I am still out the cost of the poster and the cost to ship it to Posterfix. $66.50. Yes I know it's not a huge amount of money and I learned a lesson, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up anytime soon.

Same thing happened to me. He promised a quick turn-around then went AWOL. Finally got poster back six months later with the worst linen-backing job of all time. I just threw it away.

Any chance he can film this encounter for our enjoyment?  ;)

So he's going to send it to you terrible spelling and all even though you got a refund?  Maybe he forgot about that part...

I have no idea. I have had SO many people online use the death in family bit for being lazy about fulfilling a transaction. I can tell you if I were running a business I would set my email to auto reply that I am out for a death in the family. That way my customers would know I'm not ignoring them. We shall see what condition it's in once it arrives. If it arrives. I'll post pictures.

I a good note, I sent out 2 posters to Dario today.

If he said it still wet, he's backed it within the last 3 days or so...
