that is pretty cheesy (along with your subsequent email on the issue)
the crappy tubes thing is altogether cheesy, but
the no-replacment thing is cheesiest

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Anyone received Beatles
"HELP" Tri-Folded One Sheet posters?
Exactly, as Rich and Jeff agree/explained
(hey... wait... is that a Mopo first?):
I've received several packages shipped via the
Post Office with this kind of tracking (sending
it "registered"). It works, except for one
caveat: They are very slow to update the stops
the package is making. Usually, by the time the
tracking on their website indicates it has left
California and is now in Dallas or Atlanta it is
actually showing up on my doorstep. So, not as
good as the near-real-time tracking of UPS and
Fedex, but at least you can see that the package
has been shipped, is in the system and is
moving. It's proof that the shipper has actually
shipped and is not still holding on to the item
after 7 days, which is all I'm really looking for in a tracking number.
Kevin's report of incredibly poor packaging and
shipping damage on his HELP poster is *very*
disturbing. If that happens to me, the poster is
going back immediately and a PayPal refund demand filed even faster.
How could *anyone*, much less an Ebay seller
with over 6,000 positive feedbacks, ship a $350
poster like that? Or *any* poster, for that matter?

Sean,
you are right.
That's precisely what tracking is... being able
to follow and know exactly where a package is,
while it is enroute, from stop to stop.
Tracking is not just knowing when an item arrives to its destination.
However--Priority mail (or first class) can be
tracked (following from stop to stop) if that
same item is also sent Registered.
from USPS site:
o Registered Mail <The mailpiece is
accounted for its entire journey and can be
monitored from location to location. This
service can be added to First Class and Priority Mail.

Just to clarify JR,
Delivery confirmation is NOT tracking.
The Post Office does not offer tracking except on Express Mail shipments.
There is NO tracking service available for domestic Priority Mail.

Kevin (and Rick),
Hmmm... I have not received mine either. Marci
and Teri acknowledged the receipt of my PayPal
payment on Jan. 31 -- so there has been time
for it to get here based on what their auction
description of "Estimated delivery within 5-8
business days" at their Ebay auction for this poster:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-BEATLES-ORIGINAL-HELP-ONE-SHEET-POSTER-TRI-FOLDED_W0QQitemZ190369070076QQ>http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-BEATLES-ORIGINAL-HELP-ONE-SHEET-POSTER-TRI-FOLDED_W0QQitemZ190369070076QQ
But it's only been 7 business days as of
today, so that's not necessarily cause for
concern. I did email them an inquiry today --
and since I paid for insurance I would expect
them to provide a tracking number. ALL post
offices offer tracking number service. It
costs a buck or so, but for purchases like
this I would have expected an ebay Seller with
over 6,000 positive feedbacks to provide a
tracking number. Perhaps a bit disturbing is
the fact that I don't expect an Ebay seller
with over 6,000 positive feedbacks to claim
their post office doesn't offer tracking. That's odd.
Rick, if you see this, it might be a good idea
to send Mari a brief message asking her what's up with the shipments?

Just curious of anyone has received the
Beatles "HELP" Tri-Folded One Sheet posters
that were mentioned here several times. I
ordered two weeks ago but still not
received. And, when I asked for a tracking
number they told me the post office they used
didn't offer tracking..? Thought that was
strange. Not making any conclusions just
curious if anyone has received their
posters? Hoping they show up in next couple days...
