Why you should never use UPS to ship a poster:
Examine the visual evidence. This is what happened to a very, very strong Yazoo Mills tube that I received IN A BOX with other tubes. UPS’ ability to destroy a tube never ceases to amaze me.

was there a poster in the tube? or did this just happen when you were getting an order of tubes? i had custom-ordered some tubes a few months ago, and they were shipped by UPS. well, i don’t know what happened along the way, but some package that contained dark, inky black stuff (looked like a huge amount of ballpoint pen ink) had exploded all over the back of the truck, including my box of tubes. luckily, there were only two casualties among the 40-or-so tubes i had ordered, but i can’t imagine what else in the truck had been damaged by the gross substance.
Yeah, it was an order of tubes. Luckily no poster was in there.
