Life Sucks.

MORGANHUNTER2 · January 12, 2005 3:53AM

Sounds like an insurance claim..

dthigpen · January 12, 2005 3:54AM

Let's hope you put down the full value of that MS70 you made.

Sphinx357 · January 12, 2005 3:54AM

What sort of hoops do you have to jump through to get them to actually pay?

I wish they would've lost my last submission.

Wow - sorry to hear that.

On most of my last submissions, I was hoping the USPS would lose it as the insured value was worth more

I still could have been a MS70 in there. I have heard of 20th century coins making that grade

Good luck in getting your coins back.

Wow, I have never had the USPS lose a Registered shipment! How long has it been? Where did they say they lost track of it at?

Neptune · January 12, 2005 4:38AM

UPSP is pretty gravy for receiving refunds - as long as your paperwork is in order. They are quite prompt. Sorry for your loss - and good luck ....... hang in there!!!!!!!

FiveCents: I'm sorry to hear about this. How long has it been since last contact with the shipment?? Is it possible that it will still turn up??

<< Wow, I have never had the USPS lose a Registered shipment! How long has it been? Where did they say they lost track of it at? >>

The last record of the package was at the newport beach post office where it was received on 1/5/05. PCGS shipped two seperate orders packaged seperately. I received one of the two packages last Saturday, the 2nd package never showed up. I called my PO today and the superviser said it doesn't look good.

Smittys · January 12, 2005 4:49AM

With registered mail anyone who handles it has to sign for it,
a litlte checking and they should find it.
Anyway i hope they do for you.

MassFullStepper · January 12, 2005 5:55AM

One word....

BUMMER!

I wouldn't worry just yet. I've had registered packages take almost two weeks, and because two packages were shipped the same day does not mean they will show up at the same time. Anyhow, you have to wait 15 days to file a claim.

rlawsha · January 12, 2005 6:19AM

I predict it will show up soon...

sadysta1 · January 12, 2005 6:22AM

IT WILL SHOW UP, PCGS shipped two packages to me on 12/23, the first one arrived 12/27, the other one five days later

Wolf359 · January 12, 2005 6:39AM

Hope it works out for you. Let us know.

100proof1957 · January 12, 2005 6:57AM

Hang loose,it will show up.

Last guy that touched it "DOES NOT" want to have to explain it.

Lets see,a veteran postal employee is gonna snitch a 4k package when he makes 4k a month ?

Knowing hes gonna get caught and go to jail ?

You will be fine !

Just an FYI,i once had a package from Orange County (Newport Beach area) take 9 biz days to reach my house,not too strange right ?

Except im 50 MILES AWAY !

Welcome to the club. They lost an $1,800 REGISTERED package I sent to PCGS about 2 or 3 years ago. They paid the insurance claim
but big deal. They put zero effort into an investigation even though I called several times to find out what was going on and offer any
possible help.

U.S. Postal Insurance should be outlawed since you're buying insurance basically to protect your package.............FROM THEM!

Do we pay banks extra to not steal our money? No. So why should we pay the Post Office extra?

Sorry about your package. I hope it turns up and you have better luck with these idiots than I did.

MadMarty · January 12, 2005 7:14AM

<< Do we pay banks extra to not steal our money? No. So why should we pay the Post Office extra? >>

We pay taxes so our deposits are insured up to $100,000 by the government.

I know that. Well maybe they should do the same with the USPS.

K6AZ · January 12, 2005 8:08AM

Even though their insurance rates are high compared to other carriers, I figure it's a cost of doing business. What really irritates me is if they totally lose a package, they will reimburse you for the value, but they will not refund your postage. Hello??!! They want to keep the money for a service they failed to provide?

The last package I lost was insured for $261, and I paid over $7 in postage. Sure enough, the refund check was for $261.

fivecents · January 12, 2005 9:12AM

Yeah!!!!!!They found my coins.

The superviser of my post office had me freaking out. The postal superviser talked to the lady in the cage(whatever that means) and she found it where it had been hiding for days. Why the tracking system showed the package never leaving the Newport Beach, Cali post office is beyond me.

I am not asking any questions...just glad they found my coins.
Thanks all for the words of encouragement.

Sphinx357 · January 12, 2005 9:13AM

nice

WaterSport · January 12, 2005 9:30AM

FYI The "Cage" is where the safe and log for registered mail is kept. Not all employees have access, especially at a large facility.

GLAD YOU GOT THEM!!!!!

Post the coins and the grades that were in the package.

I sent two Registered submissions on 12/30, and on 1/7 I asked the local postal clerk to track them. The tracking information stopped at "Package was accepted for shipment at... on 12/30". He explained to me that because Registered mail is kept under lock and key, the bag usually will not be unlocked at every stop and each individual item inside scanned. (They wound up arriving on 1/10)
