There is a point in which a print is damaged in the post and you are pissed off because the image is ruined and you can see it........
For instance you get get back to your parked car and somebody scratched it.......
This is a Jeremy Beadle job, running a tank over it, and it's so ridiculous it's funny ........... sorry I'm laughing!!!!!!

Hi Cornish ... A totally natural reaction ...! I laughed too when I saw it!! UPS have been fobbing me off for the last week saying my tube was lost ...!! In a way they were right it was lost!!??
Curiosity nearly got the better of me however I decided not to accept it ... Did I do the right thing ...??

I know the ups guy quite well. But Come to think of it he was slightly less cocky than usual today and he brought some protection..!! See the shoes in the photo..he'd actually brought a mate with him..!

Thanks Fed*Ex!! Maybe they should have written FRAGILE on this more clearly? That being said, they can write 'fragile' all they want but if the packaging is s**t then the packaging is s**t. A similar thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago with a very small print that was flat packed and all I could think when I received the damaged package was 'Really?!? You really thought this was going to make it in one piece?'. Fortunately they sent a replacement and it arrived intact as the packaging was much better the second time around. |

Yeah this is absolutely atrocious packaging. The tube as Cornish pointed out is quite hilarious, because how on earth did they do it, but this could have been avoided.
If anybody is sending something flat and in cardboard PLEASE PLEASE make sure the cardboard does not have any pre-exiting bends and use at least 3 thick layers of cardboard each side of the print.

Even better, include something in the packaging that doesn't bend, preferably hardboard.

Ive used FL a few times with success but as ive said before they are only as good as the courier they use and as you can see here the one they selected for the most expensive item ive ever purchased was crap, some luvly size 10's neatly placed over the fragile stamp. Fortunately the seller had stored the framed print in a professionally made bespoke wooden crate otherwise my framed print would have been in bits just like its new owner would've been.
My advice when using FL is to check which courier they will use for shipping.

I hate to ask, but what was the print?
