Just got a Mr. Brainwash print this morning. It had a used bandaid stuck to the outside of the tube. Don't know if it's Mr. Brainwash's or a postal clerks bandaid. Kinda nasty.

It is going to get worse around the Holidays because UPS and other carriers are going to try and fit more items for the holidays on the same truck and route, so they tend to stack packages higher and tighter. So hopefully anyone who scores a print gets lucky and does not have it damaged. Send it back to Obey, they usually willl replace it.

Its weird . I guess UPS are just such wreckless tossers. When ever USPS get a tube sent to me abroad they have always been mint.

Mind you i guess national services generally are. Used to work for Royal Mail for near on 2 years and it was like sorting room rugby each morning. One guy managed to split open a box of life bait (crickets) in the office by slinging at a guy across the room. We were finding the little critters in our frames for weeks , dead and alive. Was special .

I believe they puy my order from Matt Dye through one of these, though shipping in a priority triangle box is a joke. Six prints for $35.00, get what you pay for I suppose.
