how much would the poster of just our car be (of course i just have to have both..and one of these.. and two of these.... )
Depends on how big I can make the image before it falls apart. Most of the ones I have gotten can probably got to a 24x32 or so size. Filesize alone does not guarantee a nice image. The make of camera still plays a large part in the quality of the image.
So for a 24x32 or so will be around $10 more if you get a poster. If you got a huge or very good image and it can stretch out ot 36x80 or so will that will be around $35. These are laminated prints are are not cheap crap. And, of course, any size inbetween will be pretty much proportionate between those to. Almost any size can be made but it will retain the original ratio of height versus width. It can be cropped for custom fits and also distorted slightly, but those are avenues best not travelled down - well cropping is fine.
The thing is for a few years I sent guys stuff using regular post. So much stuff went lost or damaged I switched over to courier service. I've only ever has one hassle with courier in almost three years. Basic courier service runs about $17-$18 per tube. So instead of taking a big hit for one poster, that same coin can cover off several posters in the tube. So I figure if a guy (or gal) can get two or more for the same cost - why not.
Just trying to defer the shipping cost a bit, that's all. And regular post on these tubes isn't a great lot cheaper. And courier offers traceability, and has a 3-5 business day pseudo-guarantee. Regular post could be 2-4 weeks in some cases.
