Ugh.  That sucks.  I had a package arrive bent like that last year (USPS was the culprit, but it didn't help that the packaging was inferior).  Would very much like to hear how things turn out after Anthony presses the page.

Not sure if you saw this when I posted it, but it could always be worse - I had another page destroyed by the USPS last year - you can see it here - https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=2210723

Sorry to hear about. Your stuff. It sucks big time.

Ah man, I just had Fedex crush an expensive print I've been chasing for years. Sellers should be packing things better too. 

So true.

It's such a large image of the classic look of the Prince!  It feels larger than anything else we've ever seen him drawn on.   

True, it's weird not seeing him in anything but a sunday strip.

I don't use them either.  The exact same thing happened to me a few years back but it was even worse because my package had three pieces of art inside.  Best of luck with the pressing and also good luck with putting the story together.

Thanks. Sorry to hear about your problem.

I had that happen to a package I sent out, double boxed with several slabs of cardboard.  It hurts!

 I have seen them stand at the bottom of  the stairs and throw boxes.

As much as FEdEx sucks...and they do, that does look like an adequate packaging job either. Maybe a word to your Heritage rep. Good luck with the press!

true.it could have been packed in stronger material.

Sorry to hear and see this, Brian. But based only on the level of bending of the package I see, I have a good feeling that the crease can be pressed out. I look forward to seeing tou post the art when that happens, hopefully with a photo of the art as it looks now withthe crease in it.

thanks Ruben. I talked to Anthony and he said he will press the page for me. Thank goodness it's not a high priced page . I will post before and after pictures when it's done..

I had a fex ex delivery like this, which is why I always warn people against using them. Their customer service is awful too.

Hello peter. I don't  use them at all. I have heard  horror stories  from others about them.

Ugh sorry to see this. Sad state of affairs with Fed Ex for sure, that sucks - glad to read HA made it right and that you may be able to get the crease pressed out but anytime something like this happens it takes a little enjoyment out of the hobby - I've had issues with every carrier myself - but luckily it's been awhile. 

Thanks kavi.  Like I have mentioned  in a previous  response.  In over 30 years of collecting  this is the first time it has happened. Fortunately  it was a very expensive  piece. That would have been devastating. Not about the money but these are one of a kind objects.

Brutal man, sorry to hear this - hope you're able to get it pressed out. 

Thanks anthony  said he will press it for me so fingers crossed. I guess 30 plus years of collecting  artwork it was bound to happen. Just disappointed  in fedex overall.

Ouch!  What happens next?  Do you accept it and hope to get restoration or contact HA to get compensation or refund?

Hello marcus. I immediately  contacted  heritage. They were fantastic.  Even though it wasn't  their fault  per say. I submitted  the pictures  to them and they were willing to reimburse  me the total of the page. The problem is that I am trying to put that book together and didn't  want to lose the opportunity  to it. I talk to anthony  and he said he will press the page for me and hopefully  it will get the cease out.
