Banksy โข Nola Print, by arcam on Dec 5, 2008 20:26:54 GMT 1, I dont think the brown paper helps keep the prints in good nick. ithink it lets the prints slide inside the tube slightly causing damage.
It helps in getting the print out.

Banksy โข Nola Print, by Deleted on Dec 5, 2008 20:30:16 GMT 1, i think we should start a campaign to get POW to use decent tubes. It's inexcusable really; I'd gladly pay a bit more for a quality tube.
last time i bought a BRP print the P and P was ยฃ12. i'd pay more than thsi to make sure a Banksy arrived safely.

Banksy โข Nola Print, by pfffffffffft on Dec 5, 2008 20:34:53 GMT 1, Sounds like you have a new person to harass. I wonder what kind of s**t storm you'll give him after what u gave me for helping someone try, unsuccessfully, to get one on here. Now that you found someone who scored 2 (1 of each), you should be busy for a while. I would have never imagined someone being so bitter and annoyed after just buying a Banksy. I'd rather be wet behind the ears than old and crusty any day.
Not sure why you are singling me out. I went out of my way to offer advice and contact information to both you and your friend big willy.
There were many people offering criticisms of you attempting to purchase 2 prints, including people who were a lot more harsh than I was. Perhaps you could go back and read my posts, I had issue with you demanding APs for your inconvenience, and many pointed out you attempting to buy multiples, not just me.
The person who has 2, has a S & S and a Nola by the way - not 2 NOLAs.

Banksy โข Nola Print, by dundun on Dec 5, 2008 20:58:53 GMT 1, i don't think there's anything wrong with their tubes
I disagree. My damage to the print was caused from the tube not holding up to the rigors of being shipped halfway around the world. If the tube was better this would not have happened, but I think the solution is to roll the prints tighter than width of the tube. Obey uses the cheapest tubes ever, but since they roll the prints tighter than the tube there is a little bit of space between the print and tube giving it some room to give if it's been smashed. If POW wants to keep using cheap tubes than they should do this to save themselves the trouble of having to replace prints.

I think it is more of a case of your local shipping handlers. Some take more caution than others. I've never had a damaged tube from Obey or POW. POW switched to using more craft paper with more coverage of the pritns than before...probably due to people's requests. If they don't switch the types of tubes, than I would say that the ratio of damaged to undamaged tubes is certainly in their favor. Pretty random.

I think it's all luck, so many people will see the print I don't think you can say it's a local problem. POW used to ship their prints without taping the caps and one time I even had a print show up without endcaps. Some people in the UK have reported problems with the tube caps for this release just like me. All i'm saying is that if my print was rolled tighter than the tube, this wouldn't have happened at all.
