Hi Michael, Not everyone uses dirty, smelly, stained or greased packaging materials. It is actually foolish to do so. We sometimes recycle packaging materials, but only if they are in a like-new state and are in no way able to damage the product. The main difference is that we never charge our customers for new or recycled packaging materials and "handling". We only charge the actual shipping cost. But I understand what you mean, I've also had many bad experiences when it comes down to shipping, packing etc. Recently someone shipped me a poster in a tube of which he stapled the end caps to secure them. The staples however did not bend and because of shifting one side of the poster looked like it was nibbled on by rats. But on the other hand I was able to buy some very nice posters from Bruce last night, so I'm still happy.

ever feel insulted when your flat poster or lobby card arrives in dirty, food-stained or grease-stained, old, bent cardboard? especially with sellers charging high shipping costs........... i just saw this of a (non-poster) listing: All items are packaged in recycled materials where possible. as i said yesterday in discussions about packaging material costs.......soon you will see your 250 insert arrive with staples at the edges, a couple of stamps at the top, and marked, "FRAGILE DO NOT BEND" michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
