Patrick, Point of information: Most if not all of the US bus shelter posters I've had have varied from EXACTLY 4'x6'. Also, I agree it's not a huge challenge to ship them if you have the right tubes, but shipping a 40x60 poster at 13 oz (the domestic First Class limitation) would be something different and probably not to be recommended even if possible.

Hey, CK, just so you know, I have several bus shelter posters for sale and while most are 4'x6' some are an inch or two smaller by width and length which I just realized is because they are British Bus Shelters (note they say "In Cinemas November 18). While my U.S. FINDING NEMO Bus Shelters are true 4'x6' while the HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE Set of 4 are approx: 46"x 68" (they are here: http://flickr.com/ photos/55172...@n00/ As for shipping, they roll great and you just need a long enough tube. 49"-50" usually does it. The cost of shipping due to their weight is another issue entirely.
