I couldn't really get a good picture of the feather stylus. I don't really know why -- I can do ice, so why can't I do clear plastic in black foam?

There's also the AllPosters thing that's actually gone on for several posts now, and is still going on in that 'we've sent your complaint on to the proper individual' sort of way, because my damn Saw IV is still not double-sided.

Those of you who aren't very picky might not understand what's so upsetting about those two pictures. Those of you who've ever collected things might, however, feel a little sick just looking at it. Bent edges. The horror.

That'd be Saw IV, in all its Not Very Double-Sided glory. With a little Order of the Phoenix, being quite lovely with its double-sidedness as a contrast.

Yes. I bought a Harry Potter poster. It's got Voldemort on it. I couldn't resist.

That's most of the catch-up. I'll have to do a whole Sears thing later, and maybe a spaychul selection of some of the better pictures from the snow the other day, and the interesting sunset a few days before that.

I just emailed them back to ask them whether or not the listing or the shipping was a mistake, regarding the Saw IV poster. That'll be update #2.

Good job on the replacement part, AllPosters. That was really very unexpected of you.

In this case, both of my posters were crumpled up on one end because they overstuffed the tube with tissue paper. I suppose that was intended to keep the posters from moving around a lot.

Also, one of the posters was not the poster I ordered.

See, I bought a Saw IV double-sided poster -- the one with the wheelchair, and 'IT'S A TRAP'. What I got? Decidedly not double-sided.

This is very much their mistake. And I'm not at all interested in paying for their mistake. Not even in the form of return shipping.

I am not a happy customer. Whether or not I'll recommend them to anyone relies entirely on what they do next. If their solution is 'fill out the returns form, pay for return shipping, and we'll send you new ones [oh, and you'll have to pay for that shipping, too], I'm thinking my recommendation is going to be "Stay the hell away. Their customer service is only outdone by BestBuy."

A proper response to this would be at least free return shipping. An exceptional, customer-winning response would be a partial refund, and a replacement of the damaged and mistaken posters.

I'm expecting more of a 'BestBuy' though. Mostly because 'exceptional, customer-winning' has only come from one store. And newegg they ain't.

On the subject of exceptional, though, my Netflix actually showed up today. Netflix processed stuff yesterday, sent things yesterday, and, even though the mail was down and they were telling me that the movies wouldn't be here until tomorrow, they were out there today. All happy and flat and red and Netflixey....

So, yay Netflix. Good job. How 'bout selling posters? No? Maybe a joint deal with Rifftrax, then? Pweese?
