Bessie, the Mail Innovations mule, sure is taking her time walking this across the country. No updates since 6/24 on mine.
I had an unrelated package that shipped from NY and supposed to go to PA, you know neighboring states. It went from NY to TX to GA to TX to IA to ND to... I hope I receive it eventually.
The poster is in NJ with USPS. A few more days maybe!
And that non-PJ package update - NY to TX to GA to TX to IA to ND to a different regional facility in ND to another regional facility in ND... The quick movement, albeit in the wrong direction, is interesting to follow.
Arrived today. Will probably be on the wall by this evening!

Seriously, why were we charged shipping? It's now over 21 days since ordering this poster.
I could have driven the 4 hours to Pitt and paid Zeb a visit to see what spares he has lying around, driven home, applied for a new job, had four interviews, walked 25 dogs 3x a day for 2 weeks, invented an entirely new propulsion fuel system, all while slyly re-homing Jerry Seinfeld's Porsche collection to a secret location under the ocean for my future use -- and this poster would still be mysteriously "shipped."
The concern is that the longer these sit in-transit / postal hands, the greater the chance for damage.
I bought night one off of eBay and thought it got lost because it was just stuck "in transit" for forever. It showed up just fine though. Apparently it's because they're in a tube. It sucks, but you just gotta be patient.

Come on - cut the drama! Is the poster damaged or not? Likely not, as the actual poster sits about 6" in from each end of the tube.
The fact that the tube itself is 26" in length refutes your claim of 6" on either side. These get about 3" tops, given the inner portion of the cap that juts in. You may choose to accept this when paying (and paying well in shipping) for limited-production goods, but I find this unacceptable. To prevent it, all that's needed is a simple 6" of clear tape run horizontally around the cap that folds over the cardboard. It's standard-issue stuff for anyone dealing in posters. If the club is going to offer these and charge us as they choose, they need to get it right.
As for the damage, it's mostly okay, but a bit dinged where the cap went in. And the cap was wholly removed and replaced as there was a clear "v" dent on both the cap and cardboard, but the two didn't align when I received it.
Regardless of what you subjectively view as acceptable or appropriate here, the fact that this took almost 4 weeks to reach me and arrived in this manner is unacceptable. Are we only supposed to voice concern/complaints and care when something is irreparably damaged -- when instead this situation might help serve as a means to prevent worse issues down the road?

Like I said, cut the drama. It's not Santos' or 10c's fault, so why bitch about it here?
