<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 10859596, member: 77639&quot;]I had a look at FedEx restricted and prohibited items at <a href="https://www.easyship.com/blog/fedex-shipping-restrictions" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.easyship.com/blog/fedex-shipping-restrictions" rel="nofollow">https://www.easyship.com/blog/fedex-shipping-restrictions</a>.&nbsp; Restricted items require a FedEx contract to be shipped and such contract may or may not be agreed to by FedEx.&nbsp; Had a big laugh when I looked at the list.&nbsp; I have shipped a number of them and have had some shipped to me, and there was no FedEx contract.&nbsp; Some I had packed by FedEx at one of their stores.&nbsp; Items on the list include cell phones, semiconductor chips, industrial forms of precious metals, gems, artwork, medicines and lithium batteries.&nbsp; Right FedEx!&nbsp; No one ever ships these without a contract with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prohibited items are not to be shipped ever.&nbsp; Globally prohibited items include stamps, any kind of money (also prohibited under the “domestic” heading), bullion, fine art, tickets, and time-sensitive or critical documents.&nbsp; Right FedEx!&nbsp; No one ever ships these with you at all.&nbsp; Most of the restricted and prohibited items are probably just listed for their own insurance purposes.&nbsp; Some like dangerous or illegal items have a more genuine basis.</p><p><br /></p><p>You don’t have to tell FedEx what’s in the box.&nbsp; I’ve shipped and received hundreds of times with FedEx (mostly non-numismatic items) and never had a question about the contents of the package.&nbsp; FedEx may suspend your account for violating their rules.&nbsp; Unless you behave stupidly, the chances of being caught are virtually nil.&nbsp; For something like coins, I’d guess you’d only get a warning for the first offense.&nbsp; If your insurer will cover the shipment and FedEx provides the service you want, use FedEx.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, always use private insurance if you ship coins with FedEx.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
