    Someone just posted on Lost Dogs about it: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=193109

    He didn't say Maxx or McFarlane though. I'm thinking it's McFarlane, wasn't that an issue with the Billboard posters? People who got the Billboard through Munk One got charged customs fees but not Maxx. I could be remembering this all wrong though so what do I know!

    That sucks about the customs fees for folks overseas :(

    That sucks. Looks like the McFarlane distribution is royally screwing its customers.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    It was from MacFarlane

    125 (US) poster
    22 (US) shipping
    Total Cost 147.00 (153.83 (CND)
    60.12 import fee

    Total cost for poster 213.95 (CND)

    That is ridiculous for a poster.

    Does that mean you haven't accepted it yet? I don't know the rules around these things but there's a strong chance the print is damaged if it's from McFarlane. Take that into consideration before you accept it if you haven't already. Not saying yours will be damaged, there have been some people who received it in decent shape. I know that doesn't help you actually get this print but at least you won't be out a bunch of money and with a damaged print.

    Never had any problems with USPS but with UPS, I don't like their service at all. Any item shipped from the USA to Canada by UPS they brutally hammer us with brokerage & service fees. I mean they let us have it. Thank god many artists use USPS instead of UPS when shipping out their posters & merchandise. While back I bought something from Amazon.com and it was shipped by UPS. It was a gift ($500 item) and UPS dude wanted around $180 dollars @ the door. I told them I'm not paying. They asked they will attempt another 2 times and it will ship back to the shipper. I told them to go nuts, send it back. Item came back to the shipper & I got my refund for the item I placed on Amazon.

    I bought the PJ20 print from Munk One and I wasn't charged any custom fees.

    My bad. I'm misremembering then. I know one of the poster artists consistently puts the full value of the poster when he ships and folks overseas always get hit with custom fees. Not sure who that is then, for some reason I thought it was Munk One. Oops (sorry Munk if you read this board :oops: :oops: )

    Few artists do and sometimes they forget and they do put the full value on it. Or forget to check mark "gift" on the custom form and they check "merchandise" instead. Many year's back when Ames Bros did the subscriptio packages, I wasn't charged anything at the door. In '10, I think 5 prints came in one tube? and I was charged @ the door only $30 bucks. And it's value was over $200. Here UPS charged DN36753 $60.12 for a $150 dollar print @ the door. :shock:

    Write to McFarlane and ask him to refund you plus customs. He's been offering refunds but has no replacements :(

    Check out the ebeans discussion, many damaged prints shipped from McFarlane: http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopi ... &start=210

    Lots of people have been writing to him and have received responses. PM one of the people on the earlier pages (think they posted here). Or PM one of the people on ebeans. Maybe type up your response on the site again and save it somewhere before you submit in case it returns an error again. Or did you pay through PayPal? Use the PayPal address. Good luck :(

    Email McFarlane and ask for a refund. You will have to send the poster back.

    lol boy i was pissed of earlier......calmed down now.Sent off an email ......waiting for a reply.
    Sounds and looks like this happened to quite a bit of McFarlanes 100.I agree he should do a re run.
    if 50 are screwed .....print 50 more and have them signed. such a great print what a crying shame

    Is this only happening to those who bought from http://store.spawn.com/? Anyone any any problems receiving the print from Maxx? The thread over @ http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopi ... 36&t=94133 has been pretty intense.

    nope, just Spawn from what I've heard personally and what I've seen posted from others. I dont think there has been 1 complaint about a condition of one from Maxx
