I liked The Night Chicago Died. You can add Hey Jude and In My Room to my list.

There is no excuse for Leland’s not responding. I have emailed Josh twice with no response. I thought they were better than this.

Maybe they don't work weekends.

Josh and Jillian are probably on a private island with their shipping charges.

Even though LotG says they do not charge for insurance, I seriously doubt it costs $180 to send a 35"x28" advertising piece, so I would bet they did add a 1% insurance charge despite their claim.

Hi Michael!

I don't intend to get involved in this thread; I just wanted to circle back and clarify something on this post, which was brought to my attention last night.

We ship items of that size via FedEx 2-day, because packages of that size are not eligible for USPS "Click and Ship" service (and because we find FedEx more trustworthy with large packages). Because the item you won is extremely delicate, we special-ordered a 31 x 36 x 3" deluxe artwork shipper (ULine model S-9919, cost $103.00) to help prevent damage in shipping. With the piece inside, the box weighs about 11 pounds. The cost to send a package of that size and weight via Fed Ex 2-Day from our location to yours (without insurance) is $189.12.

So, factoring the costs of materials plus shipping, our cost to get your package to you is $292.12.

We charged you $177.33 for shipping, plus $3.00 for packing materials. I guess our software underestimated the shipping costs a little bit!

We do not charge for insurance.

Hope this helps!

I can add that Al sent a framed lot to me several years ago and lost money on the shipping. Al is an honest guy!

Al, when are my cards going out? Josh charged me $2 million for insurance but he’s a fast shipper!

[oldjudge]

Was that $2 million with the reduced shipping charge?

[Al C.risafulli]

Coming Soon

No, his dog delivered the package. He has multiple jobs at Lelands.

[CuriousGeorge]

I am actually really laughing out loud on that one

Hey Al,

This helps a lot. I was completely ignorant of the cost of sending such items. Even though ignorance is bliss, it can lead to footinmouthitis, a horrible disease.

My sincerest apologies.

Has the OP not had any resolution or contact from Leland's about this?

[keithsky]

Well it's funny because the OP went on a big rant and rave in the begining to crickets now.

[calvindog]

Oh there’s an update. But it’s not going in a thread in the “all sports talk” watercooler section.

Is it going to be in the testing section at the very bottom?

Could be interesting what a judge says to someone who doesn't read the rules or ask any questions? It would be right below the impeachment going on and the El Chapo Trial in national scope, I am sure....
