[MOPO] Weird Shipping Requests

2008-11-01 Thread Ron Wisberg
Recently I had a foreign buyer contact me while an auction was running about a lobby card asking if I would ship it in a tube. I told them that I would ship the item flat, gave them a very brief history of lobby cards, and sent them a link to learnaboutmovieposters.com so that they could learn

Hi Ron, I think it's best to meet their demands since they asked for it and you did your best to inform them and talk them out of it. Some people just don't understand no matter how many times you try to explain. Unfortunately you can't please them all. I once bought a lobby card set from

It is not only newbies who have this problem! I purchased a $1,600 linen six-sheet and a $2,000 set of 8 lobby cards from Sotheby's in 1992, and they charged me their usual rip-off shipping (in this case around $200). That didn't bother me nearly as much as when I received a single very long

I disagree with other dealers who say ship it rolled. I think the person just doesn't understand what kind of paper a lobby card is printed on. The desired end result is getting them the item in the same condition as you sold it. You take a greater chance of damaging the card by rolling it even

Ship it the correct way. You are the experienced pro. If done correctly it will be fine. otherwise make them email you a statement that you are not responsible if shipped rolled. As a business owner you can do everything correctly and still not please everyone. It's hard to accept but true.

You guys are right. I was not thinking clear this morning because my little girl (who is teething) kept me up all night. When I started selling I learned the hard way that it is always best to ship products the best way possible. I had a customer that wanted the cheapest shipping rate possible
