I'll just give my opinion here and say that, yes, Bruce has
remarkable packing skills and it costs me a lot of time getting to
the actual paper! Not really a complaint.
But I also give full kudos to Heritage (and Rich at movieposterbid
too!) for excellent packing! I have virtually no cares about
packages any more as these sellers are probably where 95% of my
dealings are based.
If something truly hideous happens during transit, there are few
precautions that will protect it fully but I have zero complaints
with these sellers and their packing at all.
All the best,
M

In writing my response to the initial email in haste I did fail to
mention that the packages had sustained serious damage, so I guess
it's unfair to say that the packaging was wholly insufficient. That
being said I do stand by my belief that emovieposter.com sets the
gold standard when it comes to packing posters for shipment.
And I use a proxy for purchases through HA.
Thanks,

Agreed, don't change a thing. HA has sent me posters that were
damaged in transit twice. In both instances the damage could have
been avoided with a little more care taken in the actual packaging
of the posters.
You guys set the standard for poster packaging!
Thanks,

We get some complaints from people who say we "over-pack", and
that we should just use one piece of cardboard on each side and
put that in a plain envelope!
On the other hand, we often read on forums like these about people
who get posters packed like this and arrive mangled.
We sell all over the world, and many of our packages travel huge
distances and get mislaid along the way, so we try to truly use
"gorilla-proof" packaging.
Here is a case where it really paid off:
A customer from France contacted us that his package had gone
missing. We replied that it almost surely would turn up before too
long, because in most such cases the items are tied up in customs.
He just e-mailed to tell us the package arrived. Here is what he
said:
"Somehow, somewhere in transit, the parcel must have gotten
drenched in water or something. The parcel and inner cartons were
visibly damaged but thanks to the meticulous packing you do, none
of the posters got damaged. Once again I am more than satisfied
with your overall service and I look forward to buy more and more
stuff from your auctions!"
Of course the Postal Service provided him with no explanation of
what occurred (perhaps it fell out of the airplane on the way over
and was fished out of the ocean?), and no apology for drenching
the package!
