If you buy more then a few cards it's not bad, I see why they charge so much having a few overseas people "claim" they never received their item and unless you spend the money for insurance or tracking paypal refunds you money and you are out the card and money...

People complain about the shipping prices but then they file a complaint if the item doesn't get there so you can not win either way with some people...

I've also had the other side of postal charges from the U.S. where an agreed charge for trackable method is paid but when the package arrives it was sent standard Airmail UPS for a couple of $'s. This happens more often than it should!!

Also people would be amazed how many things i get which should have been signed for and never were.
Presumably i could have claimed any of those never turned up.

I hardly ever sign for an international "signed for" package and I've received many of them.

Had a buyer from here in the states win an auction for 75.00.. The person I had mail it forgot to get insurance and sure enought they "didn't receive" so I checked their feedback and they had left over 10 negatives in the last 2 months for items they "didn't receive"..

I refunded their money then picked up another of the cards they didn't receive and offered it to them for the same price and they told me they would pass they no longer needed it

I now am starting to ship anything over 25.00 insured in the US ..

Some of the postal workers try and be helpful in either getting a neighbour sign or signing it themselves. Occasionally this goes spectacularly wrong as was mentioned in the weekend newspapers when a Banknote collector was able to win his claim against the Royal Mail for damage to a package that needed signing for but was put through his letter box and then savaged by his dog (the collector was able to prove the value of the items in the package by having an invoice). The postal worker got a neighbour to sign for it and the said neighbour subsequently put it through the letterbox. I believe the letterbox may even have had a warning sign not to put anything through due to the dog's actions.

Some of my mail that requires a signature often gets delivered when I am not there because the postman will sign for it.

Its the same with the light green delivery confirmation in the us. Its a way for the post office to make money and there is still no guarantee the item was actually delivered.

Wow this thread went off topic. I will be making a post in the next 24 hours regarding Razor AND the costume cards, and more information on what happened. I will post a link as soon as it's up.

Yeah it went way off, but I have another, if similar question. We heard that the pieceworks went to the UK and we know Razor bought most of the autograph cards. But nobody mentions what happened to the sketch cards. They may have held back fewer in number, but surely Inksworks had some supply on hand. I myself was sent a sketch card from the Spirit set as a replacement shortly before they closed up.

So who got their sketch cards?

I believe the Sketch cards went to the same UK dealer as the costumes.

Over the last several months, I've bought many (probably too many ) Inkworks sketch cards from the UK dealer in question. They also have a number of them on their website.

Yeah they got them all but there were not many. only about 200 or so.

Your article contains a great deal of significant information that I am sure many collectors would like to know about. It's may be missed by many collectors under this thread title, perhaps you could post it as it's own topic.
