LinexDrawing Tube, Adjustable 70-124 cm, with Carry Strap

I received the delivery in good time (It came the next day), but unfortunately it came with a broken lid (about 1/3 of the plastic had been broken off and was nowhere to be seen).I saw that in one of the other reviews that the product had come with a broken lid, but thought they must have been unlucky. Evidently the lid is the weak part of the product. I bought this tube for transporting posters to/form conferences. The fact that this tube didn't survive a day in the post doesn't bode well for air travel to conferences!Furthermore, I tried to contact the sender (Ernie's Office Supplies) via the Amazon complaints section. I received an automated e-mail from Amazon to say the sellers e-mail address wasn't working, but their amazon e-mails can be viewed on the amazon website. I hope they check them regularly as I'm not happy with the product :-(

I expected this poster tube to be more fragile than it turned out to be, especially since the telescopic design usually means sacrificing some robustness. The expanding mechanism is very intuitive and the item seems quite durable. Some caution must be applied when inserting a poster due to the little indents inside the tube, from the expanding design, but this applies to most expanding tubes.Perhaps the only downside is that the string is slightly too short to be useful when the tube is expanded to its maximum length, but I doubt I will ever need to use that setting, since even A0 posters fit in comfortably in smaller configurations. Having said this, it's probably one of the best poster tubes I've had, more so considering its price.

so far so good. see photo that shows the tube with 12 A0 and 12 A1 size posters. Interestingly yes there are ridges all over the place - that provides a certain stiffness. To get to the tops of the posters to get them out I simply twisted the top part and slid it down - exposing the posters for extraction. Going on a trip next week - hope it works out.

I needed this item in time for my final photography critique and was pleased with how fast I recieved it.The item itself is good and strong, and streches quite far. However, when I put my large A0 image in there, it became too tight and the inside of the tube created a couple of dents in my print.My advice - if you have any large pieces of IMPORTANT work, don't use this. It will ruin it.

It was just the right size and colour I wanted.Only that I had to suffer so much to get it.This was because the delivery agent went twice to 2 different addresses not mine. On contacting them I was told I had to come to their office to collect it. Not moble, I found the office was 50 min walk away from bus stop right into an industrial area. After much arguement of how I waited for them for the delivery and my ordeal with the first agent who called me on phone that if she does not know my house she can not make delivery, they showed me pictures of houses where they had gone for delivery only to see those were not my house. I am now very much scared to make orders from Amazone.Your products are good, Need to get some more stuff from you but not ready to suffer so much and spend extra as to collect order already paid for including the delivery.Thanks

Strap broke off with one use. Returned for a full refund

I am using this tube to hold canvas backdrops I use for photography. I can't comment if they are waterproof and the container is probably not the sturdiest, but it will do the job for what I need it for to protect my investment in backdrops. Easy to unscrew, extend and load my backdrops. Good enough for my need.

Don't know whether it's a problem with the delivery or whether it was dispatched like that, but the green top came broken. I didn't have time to return it tho, was going to a conference soon after it was delivered. After taping the top cover from the inside, seems to be working fine so far. It's not great quality tho and I wouldn't recommend buying it. Friend has the same one and the plastic pieces attaching the belt to the tube already broke.
