Shipping - FEDEX is good!

I looked at the shipping info from the Mint to my house (this was for the TJFS medal I received a few weeks ago). Once Fedex got their hands on that package it was on the move!

  • Amazing. I am trying them for some of PCGS submissions for the first time instead of registered mail return.
  • I've been trying to get a package from them for almost 2 weeks now. (They can't find it ) Hope you have better luck.

    Hmmmm..................
    There was a thread about UPS the other day and missing packages.
    Maybe your FEDEX driver used to work for UPS.
    Go check your outhouse. The missing package might be there.

    Most of the time you only hear about the screw-ups. My guess is, considering their volume, they do it right 99.99% of the time if not better. To leave Memphis and be at my door in about 4 hours is simply incredible. Thought I'd share one of their successes.

    I've been told multiple times by my Fedex shipping office that they don't ship rare coins. (except for the Mint, of course.) Can anyone elaborate - is my guy just flat wrong?

    I knew it would happen.
  • I won't ship fed-ex anymore after I had two packages from fed-ex arrive with fist-size holes in them. They were about 2 weeks apart and happened in succession. Nothing was taken from the packages because the sender put the coins in a box and put that box in the fed-ex box.

    They'll ship them, they just will not insure them.
