I was told they can't prove when the damage occurred. It's pretty obvious that they jammed the print in there and damaged it. I'm not saying they did it on purpose. But they deff did it. I was then told that they don't guarantee mint posters. And they won't replace it. But they'd waive there rule and allow me to ship it back on my dollar. Once it arrives I'll get a refund. WHAT BUSINESS in there right mind acts or treats a paying customer this way? We all know they have some left. This is beyond annoying. I've never been the person to cry about the 10c on this board as I know it brings out the haters. But this has me beyond annoyed. Buyer beware even though that beware wasn't listed.

    That sux jammin. What extent is the damage? Corner? Whole print? Torn? The tube must not be damaged then...
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Top left corner is banged up pretty good. The tube is completely fine. They cram these big prints in such tiny tubes. And then give you an attitude for there mess up. Any collector could look at it and tell right away what happen.

    I agree with the op. The customer service should be and can be better. We keep the ten club open so treat us better. It's a million dollar organization, start acting like one.

    My Jeff Ament Tone album was banged up. I sent them pics and asked for a replacement. I got the same message - "send it back on your dime and we'll send you a new jacket".

    I won't go out of my way to order from them anymore.

    If it said scratch and dent then it would be what it is.

    If I can get an item anywhere else, I will. If it is an item exclusive to the 10c then I will cave. Price, shipping costs, shipping method, poor customer service skills - they fall below expectations in all categories. 10c is the shop of last resort.

    It really does suck to have to pay for return shipping when anything arrives damaged, from 10C or elsewhere (this does seem to be common practice though, unfortunately. It's obviously an attempt to deter people from returning damaged good, and, therefore, to deter people from getting refunds or exchanges, and that blows).

    Got mine today, arrived damaged as well. One corner is practically bent all the way back and one side edge is completely damaged. All obvious signs of extremely poor packaging. Tube was 100% intact...

    I had a Sperry WSP arrive damaged. It was USPS fault. Yet Chuck had another sent out as soon as I showed him the return info and damages. That's how you do business. This way is a joke and DEAD WRONG. Like I said i've never bashed this club in public before. But this one had my beyond annoyed.

    I can understand both sides.

    I've purchased a defective item in the past and they were happy to send me a replacement. I thought wow that was easy. With so many people in society taking advantage of things I can see people asking for a replacement even though nothing is wrong so they can profit from the TC doing a good deed. I have a feeling too many people have complained about the smallest defects (and scammers about no defects) so they had enough and changed the rule.

    On the other hand if I mail something out in Canada it's automatically insured for $100 and I can add $1 for each extra $100 of insurance. So if I'm a business I would take the customers word and make claims through the post office when something is damaged. Then refund the customer. This is assuming I shipped out mint items and they were damaged by the Mail people.

    If we strongly believe it's the TC damaging the products by careless packaging (or selling defective merchandise) then they definitely need to change something.

    Yup, unfortunately. I'm not paying $5+ to ship it back to get a refund when I did nothing wrong on my end.

    Not common at all. Most companies handle their product control 180* diff then 10C.
