I received my replacement Skyrim lithos a few days ago and they are in perfect condition. Not a single crease line or bend. I couldn't be happier.

How was the package you received? Was it damaged by USPS?

It was packaged like all the others definitely not as nice as Ryans tomb raider packaging. Who ever rolled it rolled it tight as the big creases are throughout, no bent corners although it was loose in the tube and free to move. Same issues as my first ones, it only seems to be these bethesdas ones, so I worry about the 4 new prints I bought. I don't understand how you can repeatedly damage these, the company has to be loosing money in shipping and materials, production costs etc. Really disappointed

Sounds like your replacements were sent out by Bethesda and not by Treehouse. =/

Nothing is sent out by Bethesda or any of the game publishers

It is all handled by treehouse

However some of it like the tomb raider prints were packaged by treehouse themselves in their office but most are still packaged by the warehouse that treehouse contracts

Basically those warehouse people are terrible packers

For example they shipped a lot of the original skyrim/fallout prints in a 4" tube which is wide enough for that size print to be safely rolled shipped etc.

But for some reason the warehouse people decided that they had to be rollled tight and shoved all the posters next to each other in the tube instead of all prints being rolled to the outside of the tube

Not sure that made sense but if you saw it you'd immediately

Very lucky from the looks of it

I mean surely they must realize that it will get thrown around a bit in shipping?

At the very least throw some of that brown packaging paper in there to stop it from moving

Btw what print is that madigan? The new ME giclee?

Ok guys I figured I'd post some pictures so you can get an idea of how things looked. I don't think I'm over reacting to the condition of this print, its worse than the first ones I tore up. I decided to keep my other original dishonored print as only the corner was bent, I didn't want to risk the replacement being damaged. I was informed that the new pictures that were released, fallout, aerial assult, and the fray will be shipped by treehouse themselves rather than the warehouse that keeps messing up these bethesda prints. so thats cool but this batch was a nightmare. So let me know what you think of the pictures and damage, I tried to take pictures of most of the damaged spots and a couple pictures from different angles.

Sorry to hear the troubles you're having Mancoon. After reading the issues you had (and others forum users) with your lithographs, I decided to take another look at my Dishonored prints. On initial inspection, they looked perfect to me, but then I noticed a crease which I didn't notice earlier.




By the looks of it, it seems the crease was caused before the print was packed as it wouldn't be possible when rolled up in the tube. The rest of the print is ok except for a few slight creases which aren't really noticeable. I'm reluctant to request a replacement in case it's worse than this one.

Can creases like this be removed somehow? I've heard dampening the crease with water and using a dry iron can remove creases...
