Terrible Packaging, by Schrödinger's Chat on Sept 2, 2019 6:16:19 GMT 1, I couldn't find a thread on terrible packaging but I thought it might create a useful how not to pack prints for anyone, particularly those new to packing prints.
Mainly it was an excuse to post this shocker, thankfully the print was a low value Kozyndan print, but it is signed and limited edition.
1. Sellotape used to tape the print to itself to stop unravelling 😦
2. Using a bog roll that is way shorter than the print for protection.😧Couldn't even stretch to a kitchen roll tube!
3. Stuffed in a bubble wrap envelope that was just big enough with no further protection. 😩
Needless to say the print had edge damage and was coiled too tightly.
I had to laugh when I opened it 🤣
I won't say which gallery I bought it from (kidding, it was a random ebay purchase).

Was postage cheap? If not, bring out the hammer and get some of your money back.

It’s a quick Paypal dispute, get your money back and teach them a lesson time.

Buyer got punk'd by Ellen. We will see the reaction video on youtube.
