Another Mission Impossible routine for me, as Heritage messes up the delivery address for a coin I b

I recently bought a five figure coin from Heritage (counting the numbers to the right of the decimal point). I changed the shipping address on the website to my work address, and I even called to make sure it was getting delivered there. I get an email tonight saying, "Congratualtions! Your coin has shipped today." Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, the coin is getting shipped to my home address. I am now on a mission to intercept all packages and mail stuff that arrives over the next several days. Hopefully I can pull off this mission, without Mrs. L or the housekeeper finding out. Wish me luck. image

    My experience is that it's hard to get a coin (or anything else) into the house without one of them knowing about it. I much prefer the housekeeper to handle numismatic packages. image

  • Heritage ships via FedEx---call your local site and tell them you will pick-up!

    Yes, if it was shipped via FedEx or UPS you can have it held at the site for you, with some luck that they too don't screw up.

    edited to add: if USPS, you can put your mail on hold for a few days as if you're going on vacation and just swing by the post office image

    But... but... the UPS or Fedex depot is in the unsafe part of town...
