Is this a reputable website?
 
Ok

Has anyone bought anything from this site. some of you may know I got scammed last year from a website posing as a uk site but actually an american one.

I am looking to buy some posters and don't know where to go.

I found this site: what do you guys think, reputable/expensive/etc
if you have bought something from them how reliable are they and is shipping ok?

The checkout looks secure, but I have no idea what their reputation as an e-seller is, sorry.

ok guys,

now what size is a regular poster come in at?

I don't want a door poster, but strangely it is going on a door. (i find them too thin)

just a regular size poster is all I am after, but the sizes to me are a bit confusing.

could you recommend or help?

sorry, ik, the link in my post #11 is ok for a comparison in sizes

- dunno if it helps, but these are the standard sizes for normal paper

A' size -- size in millimetres -- approx inches
2A0 -- 1,189 x 1,682 mm -- 46,8 x 66,2 in
A0 -- 841 x 1,189 mm -- 33,1 x 46,8 in
A1 -- 594 x 841 mm -- 23,4 x 33,1 in
A2 -- 420 x 594 mm -- 16,5 x 23,4 in
A3 -- 297 x 420 mm -- 11,7 x 16,5 in
A4 -- 210 x 297 mm -- 8,3 x 11,7 in
A5 -- 148 x 210 mm -- 5,8 x 8,3 in
A6 -- 105 x 148 mm -- 4,1 x 5,8 in
A7 -- 74 x 105 mm -- 2,9 x 4,1 in

so the one you are looking at is 64 x9o cm - approx A1 size, which is 3x bigger than a sheet of normal A4 copier paper.

Yea GBposters are safe to use. Also try oneposter.com have used them before.

If you want to frame them, it's probably wise to source the frames first. I've some Giger stuff I'd like to put up but finding frames is difficult.
