Not Even Watching “Home Alone” Can Cheer Me Up

I cannot tell you enough how much of a disappointment AllPosters.com is for collectors. One of my caliber didn’t deserve to be treated with such awful service! This is why I prefer going to stores, flea markets, fairs, and even auctions myself when buying posters. At least I don’t have to deal with bullshit like what I went through with this so-called “company.” 

Listen, I understand that Covid is still around and it’s making it tough for everybody. I get it, I really do! But come on, AllPosters.com! I take it you’ve been an online shop for a little while longer than this pandemic, right? I would have thought that you’d know better in dealing with shipping problems even despite what’s going on! It’s relatively normal for a package to arrive late, that I’m well aware of as well. But for the “Home Alone” poster I ordered to arrive at my home a fudging one-and-a-half months later when your site explicitly says that shipping only takes around 1-3 days, is astounding! 

Who wouldn’t be pissed off by such blatant disrespect? You can also add to that how useless your tracking program is. I thought it was great that you had a ‘Track My Order’ feature on your site. I’ve always said that all online stores should have one! But even when I tried to use it, it didn’t do much in updating me about my order. A good chunk of my waiting time was always that my poster was “waiting to be shipped.” Are you kidding me? Did it really take weeks for you to wrap my package and send it? 

And when I finally did get my poster, what do I get? Poor packaging with abysmal wrapping! I’m surprised my poster even came to me in one piece! Fortunately, I ordered it already framed, or else I’m sure there would have been rips and tears all over. And as much as I want to put all the blame on your shipping company, it’s also your responsibility to have double-checked how intact the packaging for my poster was before sending it off. You couldn’t even do that, properly? Geez! 

The only bright side to dealing with AllPosters.com is that the posters are high-quality. This “Home Alone” one that I ordered is, I admit, a great piece! It doesn’t look and feel like a reprint yet it’s also clearly authentic at the same time. That’s saying a lot for a movie poster from the 90s! I also like that it was affordable too, unlike in other online stores where the prices are through the roof! 

In reality, though, buying from and dealing with AllPosters.com gave me so much stress! Not even watching “Home Alone” again, which I planned to do the moment my poster arrived, could have cheered me up! If you’re an avid movie buff and poster collector such as myself, you’d do well in avoiding this site!

I’d say the author of this post was not harsh enough with his critiques.
