Re: [MOPO] shipping linenbacked six sheets

[Tom Martin]

 correction the Pic pipe is 10 foot not 100
the yazoo types in the kraft are  like 36 inch by 4 and 1/4 thick walls
the caps are polly stuff ends so there is a buffer on each end of a 
rolled 1 sheet a 4 inch diameter tube can hold 50 1 sheets rolled
I ship flat folded between corrugated after I put the sheet in a sealed 
loose shrink-wrap and then wrap the sandwiched sheet between 2 11 x14 
corrugated sheets..thenwrap in 1/16 ethafoam and then place in a 
priority box with eps styrofoam and float the sheet inside the Box


finally I include some vintage drive in theater tickets  to make smiles 
and give thanks


and I put fragile stickers on the Box
I seal the box on all edges
sometimes on 3 inch Toes I placentae Triangle priority tube from the to 
give double protection


Been packing the same way for about 46 years
I used to tell employees ill never complain if you overpack as we get 
once chance as many are one of a kind items

consider it could be a Christmas present or birthday
our mission is to make customers have a great experience
Not because we have to but we want to
my PO manager who retired after 40 years Marsha who was a competitive 
Body Builder the Arnold Schwarzenegger classy said to me : Tom why do 
you give away so much and loose profit with somany customers??

I replied..Marsha. Iam investing my business..as maybe ill loose on some
however they may return and ill make up on the overall relationship or 
they will tell friend and all

it does get hard whether are health issues, financial, old age
covid,world unrest, and mass breakdown of the shipping service, low 
staffing, inflation etc///

the policy keep change at thePOmUPs etc..

so we move slower and adapt to what we can do


best To all collectors and dealers
I shipped a 1sheet for the professionals-lee Marvin to Austin TX  after 
my foot was amputated
if there is a will there is a way..now I'm dealing with snow, a old 
computer and vision issues

so we modify as many retire after 65 anyways...:)
I figure everything ive learned life and 10 cents may get me a coffee
IfI can help my son regroup I will feel I did something otherwise..
Adam Wests statement to me was Tom no-one really knows anything has rung 
true we all just guess

 God bless and good luck 2022
the future is kinda odd to me

the ends of the tube with
 gaffers tape.Those same tubes are great for shipping all sizes of
posters but also for storing your own posters. Many of my framing
customers have told me they
 have stored their posters in cardboard tubes for years and when they
take them out, they notice they are a bit brittle and the acid from
the cardboard tube has
 yellowed their poster. I buy the 10 foot pvc pipes and cut them in
(4) equal 30" tubes, wipe out the center of the tube and store my
posters in those tubes. I put
 a piece of paper on the outside of the tube so I know the contents
and they work great.that's the scoop. Also, the main shipping on
one of those 85"+ tubes costs
 me about $30-$35. If you have a poster inside, obviously you would
add insurance and a signature request for delivery which adds to the
overall cost.

Mr. Martin,

I use the PVC pipes you're taking about to ship linenbacked
postersor , actually, non-linenbacked sizes like half sheets and
some one sheets...and they are A-bomb proof. No bitchy customers
screaming about a 1/4" dent. However, I was not aware of the 4" Yazoo
caps. I usually cobbled together a sturdy tube end using a round piece
of cardboard, clear packing tape (LOTS of it for waterproofing) and
brown packing tape as the finishing touch. I'm going to the Yazoo web
site today. Thanks, Tom.
