<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 23537418, member: 77639"]For PCGS, I use either FedEx or USPS. There are different delivery addresses for each that are on the PCGS website. Main advantage of FedEx is I can hand package to a driver or drop it at the store which has much broader hours than the PO. For USPS, I use priority mail for less valuable lots, registered mail for more valuable lots. I use private insurance only. After I pay the annual fee, it’s cheaper per package than USPS insurance, and I have a choice of carrier and choice of method within carrier (overnight, 2-day, ground, etc.). Another advantage of private insurance is that I write a big, fat zero for value on the carrier paperwork or website … much less attractive to thieves. Also, there will never be an argument as to whether the contents are cash (not covered by USPS insurance) or a collectible. The private insurance company knows that it’s coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did a thread on using registered mail a few years ago. The link is below.
