[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2266927, member: 46237"]I don't know about PCGS since I submit to them so infrequently that I do it through my LCS, but I submit to NGC several times a year and they will let you combine orders for shipping purposes (you can even combine shipping on orders going to NCS with orders going straight to NGC). I just tell them to ship all standard orders together and all economy orders together and they are happy to do that. Other money saving tips: Wait to have enough to send everything economy that can go economy. Crack out coins so they can ride along on economy instead of on a crossover order. Joining and getting a free grading certificate can be cheaper than not joining if you use the certificate wisely. Be mindful of the declared value in your shipments; no sense paying for a higher insurance tier just because you went over their threshold by $5. If you want to get something reslabbed (due to scuffing etc.) and it's a variety, send it in for variety attribution instead. They will reslab it for free and you will get the variety attributed for only a couple bucks more than reslabbing.[/QUOTE]
