Question about multiple submission forms & postage

ellewood

I am getting ready to send in coins to PCGS. I have 4 free gradings on one submission form and 4 free gradings on another. I will obviously be sending in 4 coins with each of the above 2 forms. Plus, I will also be sending in 10 additional coins on a 3rd submission form. EVERYTHING ABOVE WILL BE SHIPPED TO PCGS IN ONE PACKAGE.

My question is: Do I have to pay SEPARATE shipping charges (1-5 coins @ $13.40) for EACH submission form ($13.40 X 3 = 40.20) or can I combine the total number of coins that I am sending in this package (which is 18) and go with 6-20 coins at $15.90?

I’m almost positive the answer is 3 separate charges…but I just wanted to run it by you all to double check!

Thanks!

Correct, each submission is returned separately, so separate postage should be paid.

Depends. If same tier, they can be combined.

For example, if the 4 + 4 are both regular service, but the 10 are economy, you can write,"Combine regular orders" and pay one return postage for those 8, but a separate return fee for the 10 economy.

This has always worked for me.

I have shipped 'free' gradings and 'regular' gradings in the same package more than once and only included return postage for the "combined" number of coins. Never had an issue yet.

I think the additional charges come into play when you have multiple service tiers in the same package, as Bushmaster previously stated.
