What is eMoviePoster.com's "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction"?
IMPORTANT! IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, GO
HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS VERY SPECIAL AUCTION!
That page explains how this auction came about, and you really want to read
what it says!
Among other things, it explains that "Alamo Drafthouse
co-founder and Executive Chairman Tim League decided to, for the second time
(the first time was in November 2020, and the above link tells about it), hold
an auction of prints from his personal collection, a total of 2,530 Mondo
limited edition prints, including many long unavailable!". In addition,
there is a very special auctions at the very start that let the winning bidder
take a personal tour of where the prints are created, and acquire two posters of
their choice (see the first auction for more details)!
100% of the proceeds from the sale will go to the Alamo Community Fund, dedicated to supporting charitable
organizations in each of the communities where there is an Alamo Drafthouse
Cinema. And eMoviePoster.com has slashed our commission rates, so that we too
can do all we can to support this most worthwhile cause!
And because the auction is in partnership with eMoviePoster.com all of the
prints in this very special auction started on October 6th, and all will close
October 27th, and all the auctions will be held under standard eMoviePoster.com
rules (NO reserves, $1 starting bids, NO buyers premiums, actual
cost of shipping, and time-extended auctions (5 minutes must go by without a bid
for an auction to close)!

An important message to all of our buyers about shipping methods (be sure to
read this):
As we are sure you
are well aware, the service from the Post Office within the U.S. has gone from bad to worse to
downright awful over the past year, and that has now caused us to make UPS
our default shipper for all domestic packages sent within the U.S (we explain this in full at the following link: Did
you know... that the Post Office's record on delivery, damage, and payment on
claims has gone SO far downhill that we are now making UPS our default shipper
for all domestic packages sent within the U.S?.
We have analyzed
the performance of the Post Office and UPS (United Parcel Service) within the
U.S. and we find
that UPS does so much of a better job that we want all our customers to use it,
because:
1) UPS has NOT been leaving packages (WITH Signature Confirmation
paid for) on the recipient's porch as the Post Office has.
2) While we have had a very few UPS packages damaged, it is a tiny percentage of
the amount of that of the Post Office (both degree of damage, and number of
claims).
3) UPS DOES pay insurance claims, both for damage and loss, and in a
timely fashion. In the most extreme case yet, we had a $11,500 tube vanish, and
they paid the insurance in full, 3 weeks after it went missing.
4) While UPS's tracking is far from perfect, it is light years ahead of the Post
Office. Packages tend to not update in their tracking for a day or two at the
worst, compared to the Post Office's weeks or months.
5) We have a dedicated UPS representative, who DOES return our phone
calls and emails, and HAS (over and over) gotten problems resolved (and
often quickly)
WHAT DOES ALL
THIS ADD UP TO? Effective October 27th, we will advise all our domestic customers
(those receiving orders WITHIN the U.S.) to
only use UPS, and NOT the Post Office, EXCEPT in the following
situations:
1) If your package is both very light (under 4 pounds) and not very expensive,
it will be enough cheaper by Post Office that we will offer our customers a Post
Office option
2) If your only shipping address is a Post Office box, we will offer our
customers a Post Office option, because UPS won't deliver to Post Office boxes
3) UPDATED: If your package is going to a country other than the U.S.
we are now convinced the Post Office is a
better option than UPS for MOST international orders. WHY? Because sadly,
while UPS does a better job delivering international orders, they OFTEN add on
customs fees that the Post Office does NOT charge (at least for now)., SO
STARTING IMMEDIATELY, we will ONLY offer our international customers a Post Office option,
but NOT a UPS option, unless the customer specifically requests it and
accepts that they MAY need to pay high customs fees
(that we will have no responsibility for).
This is all part
of our desire to get our packages and tubes sent via the fastest, safest and
fully insured method, and after long experience, we feel certain that within the
United States, UPS offers
this the best, and that switching almost exclusively to them within the U.S. will result in
fewer damaged packages, faster deliveries, and full insurance payments o losses!
AND REMEMBER THAT AS OF NOW, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IS STILL GETTING TO ITS
DESTINATION, SO LET'S BE THANKFUL FOR THAT!
An
important message to all of our buyers about how quickly we
can send orders (BE SURE TO READ THIS):
In our three
current sets of October auctions we will have had SIX THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
auctions end, and they include every size and type of poster and all sorts of
related items, including LOTS of very expensive ones! There is NO WAY we can pack
and ship everything in just a few days, and in fact it will surely take
us a total of THREE weeks (give or take) to get every single item
packed and quoted to the buyers. So PLEASE be
understanding of this! We WILL be packing hundreds of
orders each day after the auctions close, and it is the "luck of
the draw" as to whether your order is packed early on or near the
end. But you can
"JUMP TO THE TOP OF THE STACK" by paying a $15 RUSH FEE,
so please request this if you really want your quotes (and your
package) sent to you much more quickly than other orders that did not pay
the rush fee, but depending on what you won, it still might take a week or so to
get your order sent. We know everyone wants their order sent ASAP,
but we also know everyone wants them packed very carefully and
safely, so thanks for realizing this.

U.S. Shipping Details
U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order plus $4
per tube or box,
for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen (you can choose
either the U.S. Post Office or UPS (since you are paying it, you can choose
the method you prefer). All U.S. orders will be sent fully insured.
Our Pay and Hold Program (see below for how this works) allows you to
have your purchases sent every SIXTEEN weeks, which means we will only send
you packages around three times a year, but you MUST pay for your purchases every
two weeks, even though they may not be shipped for 16 weeks. We urge all of our
customers to join the Pay and Hold Program, because it really saves you a
massive amount on shipping!
Missouri,
California, Washington, and Illinois customers: If your order is sent within these states, we MUST
collect sales tax, and we will do so automatically (unless you have a Reseller
Certificate from your state in which case you need to reply to this email with
a copy of that Certificate, so you can be exempted from the sales tax).
Have you heard about our Pay and Hold
Program?
This lets U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 16 consecutive weeks
(a total of 12 auctions and around 16,000+ items!), and we then send all your
purchases at once saving you LOTS of money! Click
HERE to learn more
about becoming one of the hundreds of our U.S. buyers who are already
part of this program.
Do you need "signature required"?
Neither
UPS nor USPS automatically require a signature to deliver packages, so if you want the
signature to be required, you will need to pay the extra $5.00 for UPS or $2.60 for USPS that
they charge for "signature required", and please realize that they will then NOT leave
the package at the door, and you may well have to go to the UPS or USPS facility yourself to
pick it up if you aren't there to meet the delivery person. If you have any other special requirements, please tell us when you are paying for
your order. IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT SIGNATURE REQUIRED, THEN YOUR PACKAGE WILL BE
SENT WITHOUT SIGNATURE REQUIRED (unless your package has a dollar value over $100, in which case we will ALWAYS send it
with signature required, due to the massive rise in "porch thefts", unless you specifically tell us not to, and you will need to fully accept responsibility for the package if it is stolen from your porch or
lobby)!
You CAN usually combine shipment!
|
NOTE: Most of these items need to be sent
rolled in tubes so...
*they can be combined with these auctions:
Thursday September 1st items that ship rolled in tubes
Sunday September 4th most of the bulk lots ship rolled in tubes
Thursday
September 29th items that ship rolled in tubes
Sunday October 2nd most of the bulk lots ship rolled in tubes
Tuesday October 25th items that ship rolled in tubes
*they must be sent separately from these auctions for an additional shipping charge,
with the exception of lot numbers 3c0003-3c0008, which may be combined
with these previous "flat" auctions:
Tuesday August 30th items that ship in flat packages
Sunday September 4th bulk lots that ship in flat packages
Tuesday September 27th items that ship in flat packages
Sunday October 2nd bulk lots that ship in flat packages
Tuesday October 25th items that ship in flat packages
|
Note that (if you join our Pay and Hold Program) we allow you to wait to
have your purchases shipped until a total of twelve auctions
have ended
so that you can combine your current purchases with those of our following auctions (if
possible; see
Learn More
About Combining), and that means there is a chance you could combine
all those items, and still pay only a single shipping charge (assuming those items
fit into the same type of package, but of course, there is a limit to how many items can fit in
a single package or tube, and if you end up with several packages, you will need to pay that
many shipping charges;
Learn More About Combining). Since around half of our auctions have items that ship in
tubes and the other half have items that ship in flat packages, and since few of those
two types of items can
be combined, most of our regular buyers end up with at least two packages after
sixteen weeks. We
KNOW there are other sellers who charge a little less on shipping than we do (and of
course, there are others who charge far more!), but none of the ones with lower rates offer the
same generous combined shipping we do, and we know that our packaging is the best there is, and
our orders virtually never arrive damaged (and on the very rare times that they do, all our U.S.
packages are fully insured, and FULL INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN THE U.S. SHIPPING CHARGE).
DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus
$4 per tube or box for packaging
materials)!

Non-U.S. Shipping Details
Non-U.S. buyers must pay the actual cost of shipping their order
(you can choose whatever method you prefer, but know that the U.S. Post
Office has eliminated Surface Mail, so we can only send via Express or
Airmail), plus $4 per tube or box, for both the best packaging materials you have ever seen
and a separate printed invoice mailed to you.
All non-U.S. buyers must have their packages fully insured, UNLESS
they expressly state they accept fully responsibility if their order is lost
or damaged.
Have you heard about our Pay and Hold
Program?
This lets non-U.S. buyers pay for their purchases from 16 consecutive weeks
(a total of 12 auctions and around 16,000+ items!), and we then send all your
purchases at once saving you LOTS of money! Click
HERE to learn more
about becoming one of the hundreds of our U.S. buyers who are already
part of this program.
Learn
more about how to save money on shipping by shipping to friends/family
in the U.S., insurance, and customs fees.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please bear these
approximate shipping cost in mind BEFORE you place a bid (if
you live outside the U.S.). The vast majority of our customers want a very
securely packed tube, and will pay the extra shipping cost involved (and of
course, it goes to the Post Office or UPS, and not us!). Please do not ask
us to pack less securely, as that would likely result in a damaged order.
Some sellers are sending by Ground UPS to Canada, but that incurs large
"brokerage fees", so we do not recommend it. Note that there are also
some sellers sending non-U.S. packages via a "Letter" rate, or marked as
"gift", or marked with a low value, but we can not do this. We have outlined the
possibilities for sending non-U.S. packages above, so please read that
carefully, BEFORE placing a bid!
Do you have a friend or relative who lives in the United States?
Some of our customers either visit the U.S. regularly, or have friends or
relatives within the U.S., and often those customers have us send their orders to a U.S.
address, and then they transport the posters from there. THIS CAN SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL ON
SHIPPING (but bear in mind that, depending on the state, we might have to
then charge U.S. sales tax)! This is fine with us, but realize that you still need to let us know within one
week of receipt if you want to return anything, so don't use this method unless you are certain
you will want to keep your purchases.
DON'T BID ON OUR ITEMS UNLESS YOU WILL PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING (plus
$4 per tube or box for packaging
materials)!
