My coins shipped from PCGS but.

Type2Type2 Posts: 13,985 ✭✭✭✭✭

Passed me by I'm 30 or so min from PCGS but they kept going. Now they are in Chicago! Crazy so do I get my shipping fee back if I did not rec them in two days? and if they go loss and never delivered does PCGS pay the graded price of the coin or what we listed I could never get that one right. I know they ask what is the INS value but that could change after graded like a MS65 is $900 and a MS66 is $2500 so you put $1000 Ins when sending it in raw and now it's a MS66 and lost will they pay MS66 money? how is that right, how do others think about this. I know it will show but it would suck if not.

    It's probably just taking the scenic route to your place.

    The insured amount is what you declare on the submission form. If you are lucky enough to get an ultra high grade and the value far exceeds your declared value, you need to notify PCGS and request & pay for higher insurance coverage on the return shipping.

    Don't worry - they'll show up eventually.

    I guess you simply put your value on the coin & pay the appropriate insurance based upon your thoughts.

I know it will show but it would suck if not.

    It should be pretty obvious to you if the coin had a decent MS66 shot. I always insured raw coins for what I would be comfortable getting for it if it were lost. In this case, something between MS65 and MS66 money. Or what would I take this very minute if another dealer wanted the coin as is. I would think they insure the coins coming back for the same value you had on them when they were on their way to them. What if the coin got lost before it got to them? You only get what you insured it for. If you're gonna under-insure one way, don't expect others to change the plan on the way back home. The coin never changed one bit either before or after PCGS. Their grade is an opinion. Send it back again and it might drop back to MS65.

    As far as slow. I've had REG packages sit in Jamaica Plains, NY for up 5-6 days.

    That is pretty wild. A few months ago I bought a coin from the east coast. The item comes through my home town and just keeps on going all the way to Washington. At that point it comes back and I finally get it.

    Robot error - USPS automation at work.

    Ordered a Big Mac from the new robot kiosk and got one with chicken on it instead of beef. LOL.

    Perhaps the package is racking up frequent flyer miles.

    Sorry. I only received my Heritage FUN coins two days ago, and I paid within two hours of receiving my email invoice. The USPS is one screwed up company. These days I get my home mail anytime between 10:30 AM and 6:00 PM. Total incompetence!!! Perhaps the USPS should be replaced by a private company.

    I've ordered from a couple of Ebay sellers that shipped from there, They had good feedback but people complained of slow shipping. My orders were reported as shipped and then sitting in that post office within a day. Took like 5 days to move from that Post Office.

    There is another one in New Jersey that is equally as bad.

    My local Post Office is all aces.

    It'll show up, I have seen many a "wild ride" on USPS tracking history and have yet to not receive a parcel.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Mine showed up a grade lower, or worse than when I first submitted them. Who needs insurance ? :open_mouth:

    It happens sometimes. Last year I sent a package to Boulder CO. It made it to Denver and then on to Puerto Rico for three or four days, then back to Denver and finally to Boulder (8 days flying around) - USPS Priority Mail w/tracking. Have also had UPS and FedEx packages go back and forth from east coast to west coast and back. Sorry about the frustration, hope yours shows up soon.
