Posters at a Price

Posters are a great way to brighten a bare wall and Posterpass.com offers posters at a great price. Posterpass.com is a basic website that offers a large selection of posters at a few dollars each which seems to be more inexpensive way to purchase posters compared with many other ecommerce sites on the internet.
Posterpass offers approximately three hundred posters from kittens to Picasso. The posters are 24” by 36” and are described as museum quality. Posterpass offers posters in a variety of genre including fine art, music, movies, nature photos and motivational photos.
Posterpass does sell inexpensive posters, but there are a number of issues which have caused some discussion on various consumer sites. The main complaint leveled at Posterpass is their high shipping costs. Despite each poster being priced at approximately $2, the shipping charges have reported to be as high as $10 per poster. So ordering four posters for $2 each would incur a shipping charge of $40 for $8’s worth of posters.
Another aspect of Posterpass’s business model is that the initial purchase of posters automatically signs you up for a poster subscription. The Posterpass subscription sends out posters with the same theme as your initial purchase. So if you originally purchased a poster which pertains to movies, then Posterpass will send another movie poster to you the following month.
The terms and conditions on the Posterpass website clearly states that after the initial purchase of posters, the company will send two more posters per month. Posterpass will post an additional $9.95 per poster plus shipping and handling. Those customers who were not aware of the Posterpass automatic subscription are often upset by the additional charges for unwanted posters.
Posterpass does offer a full refund for unwanted posters and many people who have been sent unwanted posters have reported that they have received refunds when they have contacted Posterpass’s customer service.
Posterpass offers posters at an inexpensive unit price. The initial offer of four posters at two dollars per poster is a great price when you want good quality posters to brighten up a bare apartment or college dorm room. However, before you purchase you have to be aware of all the costs involved. The initial shipping costs are approximately $10 per poster and this needs to be factored in when you purchase posters. The other factor to be aware of is the automatic subscription, so don’t be surprised when more posters arrive.
