All, I would add that shipping and buying through CA is always problematic for both American sellers and buyers. Having purchased posters from all over the world, if you have a concern, YOU need to reach out the the seller to understand the way they ship and if you don't like it,talk to them about it or buy from someone else. I have dealt with Australian sellers many times on high value posters and if I had a question about payment or shipping, I got up at 5 AM to discuss it directly and have always been satisfied. I honestly believe that 99 percent of sellers take great pains to get your poster to you in perfect condition. You cant blame the issues of the postal service out on the seller, that's what insurance is for.
