looking forward to getting mine. any jersey guys get theirs yet? (btw, if we have any issues where we need to send new ones out and cost is an issue I will help from that standpoint. ) thanks, rich

Thanks, Rich. So far, we still have enough not to require a reprint. We'll see where we're at in a few days.

I'm waiting here in Jersey. Maybe on Friday.

I need to acquire frames for my posters and translites!

Looks good flash

First of all, the posters look awesome in person! Great job!

Unfortunately mine were also damaged. The tube looked okay and I don't think it was opened by anyone. So yes, it must be the sliding of the posters inside the tube causing the wrinkles.

I'm gonna try and straighten the posters out, framing may also help I hope!

I have got 3" tubes to ship the others out. I will work on them tonight and in the morning to get out in the mail. I will not ship them media mail to avoid the "open to check". The tubes will be cut to size. Pinzzz got your pm and will get a set out.

Looks good.
As for yall in Jersey I have a feeling they have been destroyed. I shipped all out at the same time and a few replacements have made it to the west coast. If you do not get them by this weekend please pm me.

Robin, can yours be used? or do you want me to ship a new one?

The most damage is in the black section of the speaker panel, it looks pretty bad. I tried straightening out those wrinkles, but the paper is really damaged. If you have posters left I would love to get new ones which will be framed on my gameroom and office walls. Let me know if I should chip in again for the shipping, I can imagine this re-sending is costing you a lot more than you were counting on

Same here, if you need me to chip in on shipping I will gladly help out.

I'm still waiting in NJ as well

That's the last time I will ever think about using media mail. Sheesh!

Stay in touch with Soapman, and we'll get everyone taken care of eventually. My sincere apologies.

Friday has come and gone mail wise. Maybe Saturday will be the day..

If you have not received by tomorrow, Sat. Sept. 28 please pm me on after mail run on Sat. or Sunday. I will make Monday for deadline. I have but a few left. I have some counted for as resends so please let me know asap if you did not get yours.
Again Sorry for the mess.
Soap

HI Guys..

..So here is what I was thinking.

If you guys want. I still have the file on my printer. I can run off a bunch to replace the damaged ones. I kind of lost track but it seems that there may be some replacements needed.

Flash, Craig and Soap ... let me know if you guys are good with this. If we could get a head count so I know how many you need.. I can figure out how much it will run . One note..the posters I have are a little smaller
23 x33 But I can output them on some nice gloss paper.

Sorry I can't do for free although i wish I could..

anyway ..just another option. I will take care of the shipping personally.

Haven't recieved mine yet in Australia but will advise condition on arrival

Peter

Same here in Western Canada. Will keep you posted.

Hi, guys. I just got to England, so I am out of the loop. I sent Soapman all of my extra copies before leaving. He's the point man on this. He can let us know in two or three days what's up, and we'll be able to sort it out.

haven't got mine yet either. hopefully it's treated better than taf debacle your had

Hey guys, we got our extra and it arrived perfectly, not a scratch on it. REALLY appreciate all the work on this. To be honest I thought the tubes were pretty good quality and the post office really mucked them up for a lot of people

Again, big thanks and keep on going!

I got an email with the original file in it, but they said it will only be up for a few days. Any ideas why? I'm happy to host if bandwidth issues.

No doubt! Fingers crossed.

So just curious. With all the shipping issues, why not? I mean, if someone wants to take the file to kinkos to get printed for $20 is that so bad?

I have got pm's from our NJ folks, Anyone else not received yours please PM me so I can get a good number on this next shipment. I have my two from NJ, Pinzzz, Gary, rvdv, northvibe,papazit1963, and Robin. Please let me know soon as I will be working on retubeing them and shipping. They are going with a tracking number and insurance this go around.
Thanks,
Bill

I haven't received mine yet, and I'm in western Canada. That may just be down to delivery time though. I'm not panicking yet.

I just received my replacement poster. The edges were fine on this one, but there are wrinkles throughout the poster. The tube seems fine, so I don't get it. You can see the wrinkles quite clearly from the back ...

I don't understand that one.

I offered to host it since it sounds like a server bandwidth issue. This would be a spec of dust on the servers ran for other items.

Anyways, offer stands. Happy to host it so everyone can have the opportunity. I downloaded the file so I have it already.

Why can the download just be public?

Got permission to host it. Ill post the link shortly.

I have to put a deadline on this. Please, PLEASE let me know if you have not received your poster or you have a damaged one that needs to be replaced. I have as of now: three from NJ, Pinzzz, Gary, rvdv, northvibe,papazit1963, and Robin. The Canadian pinheads and the pinheads from Australia you have a few days.
Thanks for your understanding.

This is a fund raiser. The more money we get will help Don.

I got the PDF file and he said I could post and host it to the public. Hopefully this allows folks to print on their own or at kinkos to avoid any shipping issues and more importantly running out of stock

Thank you.

As of an european fund member I use this DL-link today.

So I can decide to print it with less € by a local service.

Mine arrived today in Australia and also damaged see pic but I will just trim it and all good! Can the Aussie member pm me as I don't know who's the other poster is for

Cheers Peter

I know its a fundraiser I already donated to. I just couldnt afford a full size poster right now having no work just wanted a small print put to hang on the wall that was all not trying to take stuff from anyone.

^^^
Understood. No worries.

Sadly I must add myself to the ever-growing list of trashed poster recipients.

The packaging looked great, but I noticed that they wrapped packing tape around the outside of the tube, in the middle, which is where most of the damage was. Looks like maybe they bent it and then straightened it out and taped it or something.

What a drag, because it looks beautiful otherwise.

I'll be looking in to getting it printed locally so as to not have anyone incur any more cost. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Cheers,
Greg

I has been over a week since the last round of poster went out and have only heard from a few of you that have received them. Everyone got them on Friday the 4th. Robin and Northvibe you should be getting them soon.
Please let me know who has not recived them yet. I would like to close this out by Oct. 16th.

Thanks again,
Bill

Sorry about the delay, I was out of town. I received both poster tubes, the first was damaged but did finally make it and the second was in perfect shape. Thanks for sending that second one...

Checking this thread from the U.K. Very glad to hear that things are finally getting resolved. Great work, Bill!
