Poster damage?

Guys, I'm addressing an issue that's come up a few times since I opened orders for the Joe Posters.

A few people wrote to say their posters arrived with some bent edges, and that confused me since I was very careful with each poster and I taped each mailing tube shut to prevent loss or tampering.

But I saw a recent photo posted by Jinx723 on Hisstank.com (Thank you!), and although nobody on that forum thread said much about it, I do see the issue and I will take steps to prevent this. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-general-discussion/342314-awesome-g-i-joe-poster.html

When each poster is rolled up in the tube, the top and bottom sides are facing the ends of the tubes and have some wiggle room. With an excess of activity during whatever sorting and processing that USPS does, that wiggle room might become a liability. It probably could have been avoided with foam blocks or bubble blisters on each side.

Sorry, guys, I've never actually mailed tubes before, so I didn't anticipate the amount of abuse to expect  during shipment. From this point on I'll be adding bubble wrap on each side of the mailing tubes to lock the posters in safely.

On reflection, however, I'm glad I left a quarter-inch border around each picture as a buffer zone for just this kind of unpredictable stuff.

Hello Ian.

I've received your amazing poster a few weeks back and I cannot say enough of how amazing this poster is.

But I'd like to ask if there's a way that you can make a change in the size description of the poster. It was originally mentioned that it was a size 11x14 frame when in fact it was supposed to fit the a size 11x17 picture frame.

Please make the small correction on the poster description.

Keep up the great work. I'll happily wait patiently for a Cobra poster in the months that follow.

YoJoe! :D

Hi! Thanks for your comments.

Can you please clarify what you mean by 11x14 size? I think the only size I've listed on my blog and on the Paypal page is the 11x17 size printout. 11x14 should not be mentioned anywhere.

Thanks!
