Ames Crushes Posters

Dropped $70 on the Artist Print for Seattle and it arrives today, 193/200 -- and one whole edge is crushed.

As they packed the tube to keep the poster from sliding, they wadded paper in and completely crushed one whole edge of the poster. It's actually just the wrapping/rolled paper to protect the print, one end folded in and wadded up ... along with the poster, about 1/2 an inch worth! Doesn't look like it happened in transit, looks like it was packed that way -- little too much enthusiasm in wadding up one end.

F'n A. Sea Captain/Typewriter is one I dig, finally ... and then this. Sigh.
[sic] happens

    Email them and tell them whats up. Ames is great about taking care of their customers! They always keep back a few A/Ps just in case. Who knows you may end up with a lower number.

    I thought this post was about a good form of crushing. Like as in crushing posters as compared to Tom Tomorrow. I would agree that Ames crushes a damn good poster. :P

    Doesn't sound like 'crap' if that is what he/she received.
