[QUOTE="Stork, post: 4942997, member: 71642"]Oh boy, that is tough. I have bought some of my favorite coins from Auction World (Albanian ones no less, go figure). That said, I was always of the 'move it as quickly as possible to avoid trouble' mentality, so opted for their FedEx shipping every time. Is this what has gone away? If so, things are weirder than I could have imagined. Every time I have had to contact them though, there was a lovely English-fluent, person going by 'Lisa'. She was always very able to answer any questions and facilitate things. Once I dropped a nuclear bid on a coin and got a nice note asking if I'd made a mistake in my yen conversion. I had not, and did NOT get run up on my bidding. In any case they are very reputable and my experience with them upholds the reputation. If they have some sudden changes in shipping due to COVID, I would trust them that whatever that $70 option is, it is the best, and would pay it. They really are a good company and will do the best they can in the situation IMO. edited to add: looks like the EMS service is probably what is what went away.
