placed my print in between art paper and duct taped the sucker shut around all edges

Sounds too risky for me...I can flatten my posters out in a day.

dont see how its risky. the board was thin, but it was solid - virtually indestructible. you'd really have to wail on that thing to crack it. the 10C tubes are much more fragile. also, he put enough tape around it, not only on the edges, but almost everywhere to seal off any damage that may be caused by rain. only needed to cut out one edge to remove the poster, they came out minty fresh and flat.

They mail them in a big envelope made of thin cardboard. Mine wasn't too bad last time. A couple minor corner dings.

exactly how I got mine last time ... as long as someone doesn't start singing some Karl Douglass and do some Kung Fu Fighting right in the middle of the cardboard, I'm hoping for a near mint delivery.

Shipping flat is not a bad thing if done correctly.... I have gotten two flat from Emek, and both survived very well.... But he also takes the time to do it right....

I have received one thing flat and it came out OK..I am just saying that the physics behind something in a round container as compared to a flat container seems to be a better way to ship....As a seller, I wouldn't want the hassle of packing it that way and just waiting to hear if it arrived undamaged...after chatting with the mailman on numerous occasions, he enlightened me to some not so choice care tactics that some folks provide in their routes and while sorting mail...that is just my two cents, go for what you know.

Whats the deal if you buy posters from someone (eg modernrockart, philaarts) and the posters don't turn up??

If I took out optional insurance do you get a full refund or whats the deal??

Its been over 4 weeks but Im still hopeful.

They should have a phone number to call, if not on a website then on your Credit Card statement, usually the sender has some type of tracking information...I bought from Philaarts and they were speedy with delivery, if you are overseas then 4 weeks may not be enough time for delivery. Or you can ask for a refund and they will give you their policy on refunds or give you another poster...good luck

Yeah, I bought from Philaarts. I contacted him alright just to ask when he sent it. He said he sent it first class air mail about a month ago.

I bought 2 from him (1 of which he can replace, the other is sold out).
Would you normally get a refund from him??

As I said earlier, Im hopefull its just delayed.

Maybe wait another week then try to get a refund...who knows it may never show up...I hate waiting for posters, I am anticipating a Klausen myself. I disagree with their choice of overseas shipping without any form of tracking.

He is a trustworthy guy, I am almost 100% positive they will make it right... There is a limit on how long you have to file a paypal claim, I believe it's 45 days!
I was ripped off by Shortybunchups on Expresso Beans... Do not buy from him!

You weren't lying. wow.

The only one I'm really thinking about is the Las Vegas 2000 for $150. Hmmmm.....

Guess they are getting their ebay prices, so I can't really blame them.

For $750, that should be a real f'in tractor.

Were his revelations similar to Newmann's zip code shocker?

I love the Seattle Yield Tour sub print ... but, 500 clams? oooof. (edit, and it's out of 1,000?)

And what is up with the Riot Act Boston, Rainbow Arrow with TV .... The AP2 was up there for months at $125 ... no one bought it ... now they jack it up to $200 ... and guess what ... no one will buy it.

sheesh.

I'm happy with the unsigned one I got for $35.
