The UPS delivered my order of the Grand Canyon 5oz. from the mint. So your local yokels don't know what they are talking about.

They might not insure but they can carry almost anything that is not dangerous.

LindeDad, I know you're trying to make a point, but the link you provide very closely puts you in the crosshairs of a stalker or spammer who might follow these boards. I think you should remove it for your own safety and privacy.

 

i ship at the post office. I've never been asked specific details for domestic shipments. Just if there is anything hazardous, etc. Of course when shipping internationally, you have to fill out a customs form. I write "hobby supplies". Mainly because if you ship to alot of foreign countries and you write "coins" on the form, they frequently disapear.

 

i'm right there with you. when shipping internationally, i call them "numismatic supplies." i've never had anyone question me after that. i've never been questioned about a domestic package except for the usual "is there anything flammable, perishable, etc."
