I was wondering if anyone has used Fed Ex has the shipping method for their coins? I paid on Sunday and the label was created first thing Monday. There has been no movement sense. It has been 48 hours. At what point, would you reach out to them? Trying to be patience, but this coin was the most I have ever spent on one so yea there is that.

When i sold the bulk of my collection, I shipped everything by FEDex to Ian. Went smoothly, but tracking updates did follow the package.
I've used them with no issues, including sending to our hosts for grading. I have noticed the UPS and FedEx have not been updating their websites as much, whether they are skipping scans at each location, or it's just not updating on the sites.
Does entering the tracking at least give you an estimated delivery date?
Yes, The label was created on Monday, and it saids estimated to arrive today...Label created is last scan of it from monday.

I almost always use FedEx 2 day. GC had a disclaimer saying they may need 1-3 extra days to process this week, I think bad weather up Northeast so hopefully that's the only hold up. I paid my invoice yesterday and it is in the mail already thankfully.
Ounce by ounce the stack grows .
Just did this. The label is created first and gives a very far out first estimate. Give GC about 5 days to get it packed and get it to Fed Ex. Fed Ex will update their estimate and then I got it exactly when the new estimate said.
I used FedEx with them last week. I paid Sunday, the label/tracking was created Tuesday, and I received the coin Thursday. So pretty much like clockwork.
GC sent an email on Tuesday after it shipped with the tracking info. And the tracking info showed it in Nashville on Wednesday when I checked. FedEx also texted me an alert that the coin would be delivered on Thursday and I would need to sign for it. Then on Thursday, the FedEx driver rang my doorbell and handed me the envelope (but didn't request my signature).
So for me, it all worked as expected.
I heard the other day Fedex and UPS are merging and planning to call the new company FED-UP!

I won a GC auction last week. I paid Sunday night, then Fedex label/shipped on Monday, arrived Wednesday. Just give it time, maybe even call fedex to check tracking movement if you're still worried.

New here as you can tell by my generic profile. Haven't figured out how to customize it but I'll get there.
Now to the thread topic: When I used to pay GC with a credit card on a Sunday night auction, they would ship the coin Monday and I'd have it Wednesday or Thursday, by USPS.
I have since gone to Echeck payment and they take several days to, I guess, let the Echeck clear the bank and then they ship by FedEx. It seems to take 2 or 3 days for the Echeck to show up on my checking account. Once it gets in FedEx's hands, it's only a couple of days to my doorstep.
I usually do USPS mail for GC and usually have the coin by Thursdays. This is my first time using Fed Ex because of signature confirmation. Even when a signature is required, USPS just puts it in my mailbox without a signature.

Well, that is super strange. I just checked and they changed the tracking number and now said Friday. I am guessing the first label was no good.

Fedex has been having issues, Personnel I believe. Varies by region. Especially bad for Fedex freight. USPS has been more reliable in Dallas.
It’ FedEx. I have a coin coming from about 50 miles away. Picked up by FedEx Tuesday original delivery date Wednesday then updated to Friday. 4 days 50 miles (at the most)
While many on this forum have shared a lot of displeasure with FedEx, my extensive experience has been just the opposite. In receiving lots from GC, I always use their newly offered FedEx shipping option. I pay via eCheck to get the reduced 10% bp, and they ship the coins either on Monday or Tuesday from California, and the packages have always arrived two days later in Florida. Never a problem.

Just got the notice that my FedEx package which was suppose to arrive Wednesday is delayed another day (Saturday) and I don’t believe I will see it over the Weekend. Started out 40 miles away (not 50miles I googled it) and is now in another state 80 miles away. 5 days for FedEx to move this package 40 miles, I paid 20 bucks. The moral of this story is it’s not even Thanksgiving, the Christmas rush isn’t even here yet. No more packages for me until after the holidays.
My coin arrived 2 days after they shipped it! I am guessing that now you all want to see what it was LOL!! Your wish is my command!

The label created means just that, the shipping label was created. The package has not been given to FedEx yet.
Just curious if you have it insured. Oh, and since FedEx doesn't pay insurance on coins what insurance carrier did you use?
