New fed ex shipping with pay pal

Do you feel comfortable with this shipping when they just drop it at your door when you are not at home?

    I believe this is only done if they have a signed waiver from you on file.
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    My buddy called yesterday in a panic had sent a box with the pucks in it, i told him to make sure you always use signature required, well the guy sold him the regular tracking number one, and yes the package was left on the porch. Lucky the girl came home and found it and was honest enough. I always use signature required now and the priority boxes with usps have never failed me. image

    If you're referring to the mint SNAFU, that was a contract problem. the mint didn't contract for signature confirmation. Fedex offers the same signature confirmation option as everyone else. I use them for high value international shipments.

    This perception issue why companies work so hard to manage their image. you don't want someone else's problem to get blamed on you.

    Just received an 1841 quuarter via Fedex ground from a seller in PA. My wife had to sign for it.
    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    How does this impact the paypal guarantee, requiring sig conf.?

    I'll stick with USPS, haven't let me down yet. Still trying to figure out the new service:

    I was always under the impression that coins/bullion were not able to be insured
    with FedEx. Perhaps that has changed? I'm not blanket insured like many dealers
    and do rely on the USPS insurance feature.

    You're correct. One would need private insurance. I'd note, though, that there are other things besides coins sold on eBay.

    In any event, adding FedEx to the mix is useless without calculated shipping.

    Someone posted, yesterday on another thread, that they work at Fedex and that Fedex will now insure coins, but there may be some hoops to jump through to ship correctly.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
