It took a year to get the original banged up prints? What the hell?

lucky as i might be, he offered.

i shall continue my bitching, thank you very much.

someone mentioned "good faith kinda stuff." that's exactly why i'm posting. i'm disappointed. i'm sure you would feel the same way if this was your order. i realize that posting on a message board is sort of a childish way to air my dirty laundry... but like Golden Boy pointed out, i HAVE held up my end of the deal for almost a year. i have tried to take up my frustration with the seller personally (several times), but it got me nowhere. and even if i get nowhere else with this (aside from snarky comments from those who know better than me), i felt compelled to post because i think i should be able to come here to the poster community and share my frustration or make those who might order from largemammal in the future aware of some of the difficulty they may or may not encounter.

i could even argue that i'm further holding up my end of the deal by attempting to come here and hold the seller accountable for something he has offered. i initially thought of just sucking it up and counting my losses. but i decided to contact the seller and see if he would work with me. he said he would. fair enough?

I agree with Pogue.

Sounds like this guy has tried to communicate. I hate when people have my money, but I don't have their product.

no. from may 19th until the middle/end of august when they supposedly finally showed up where i used to live. i received them at my new residence in the beginning of october (after they were forwarded to me by a friend who warned me that the tube had taken a severe beating.) a new batch was promised to me in november. it is now february of the next year.

Sounds suspicious.
I think your old friend banged up the posters for an excuse to talk to you.

Sorry. I'm just being a wiseguy.
I'm super tired, and am minimally invested in teh actual content of this thread.


I'm sorry for your lost.

[Doolittle]

but...he did ship it. YOU moved (causing more delay). YOU still got it. The mail fucked it up but HE still decides to replace it.

Hmm, sounds like he deserves to get his name dragged through the mud on gigposters. Lame.
