<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8283055, member: 134416&quot;]Walgreens? I assume one does this via the FedEx delivery manager app? This option must have come about more recently than 2015. Saturday delivery wasn&#039;t even a regular option then.&nbsp;&nbsp; Due to some intensely negative past experiences, non-post shippers are to me what Beethoven was to Alex in <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>, so I&#039;m completely out of the loop to what services they now offer. It may sound silly, but FedEx/UPS (mostly the latter) really did give me PTSD. It&#039;s possible to happily live in a post office bubble 99.8% of the time (98% of my post-2000 mail order coins have been purchased via vcoins-affiliated dealers), but there&#039;s the occasional must-have coin which isn&#039;t available via post.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My best scenario would be to find a reputable relay person who would, for a fee, forward my rare DHL orders via post.&nbsp;&nbsp; The problem; I&#039;ve only recently begun to regularly order coins from Europe and I have no firm relationships with any of the European dealers. I do have much more established relationships with U.S. dealers.&nbsp; Which would be a better; a U.S. or European go-between?&nbsp; My thinking is that DHL might be less crappy in Europe, so it might be better to start the journey there.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be silly to go to all that trouble for inexpensive coins.&nbsp; Even I&#039;m willing to take reasonable chances on sub-$300 coins.&nbsp; The more expensive the coin, the more nervous I become about taking a chance with the non-postal carriers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope your coin arrives safely, Gavin.&nbsp; I have no experience with receiving items from Spain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
