<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8282899, member: 134416&quot;]Question: when shipping coins, is FedEx good about requiring signatures - Europe to the US?&nbsp; Even the Post Office has been horrendous about that since covid. With the P.O., I can get my carrier to deliver the desired package on a certain day, negating the problem.&nbsp; The signature is purely to prevent it from being dumped at the door).&nbsp; Worst coin case scenario with the post office; it goes in the mailbox.</p><p><br /></p><p>FedEx has two strikes already; comically high rates and it appears that they don&#039;t offer insurance. I can tolerate the former in certain instances, but FedEx would have to require a signature and be able to deliver it on a Saturday. I believe they now do the latter. </p><p><br /></p><p>Are there any other caveats I need to know about FedEx?</p><p><br /></p><p>DHL&#039;s already failed the test; no Saturday delivery in the U.S. I would also suspect that they&#039;re of the dump-at-the-door-without-signature school of thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would just set up a temporary post office box, but I don&#039;t think they&#039;re able to deliver to those.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also suspect that FedEx/DHL are also the only options for shipping from more exotic locales, like Dubai?</p><p><br /></p><p>DHL has a delivery manager/ customization website.&nbsp; Could one specify, &quot; put the package in so and so&quot;, and would the carrier actually pay attention to that?&nbsp; FedEx also has a similar manager.&nbsp; Special instructions could potentially alleviate the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; But like I said, it would entail the shipper respecting said instructions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pickup from FedEx/DHL HQ is also not an acceptable option.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cost isn&#039;t my main concern.&nbsp; Safety and convenience are. I don&#039;t have big porch pirate problems, but above a certain price point one really doesn&#039;t want to take a chance with private shippers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
