<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1407186, member: 22004"]I used to get many valuable coins in a business sized envelope with lots of the registered/insured style tape all around it. It did not bother me. What does bother me is the overkill. When PCGS almost automatically sends graded coins back to you with their heavy blue plastic box as if there is a risk of the coins being damaged otherwise. I have a corporate shipping account for such overnight packages and end up paying over $10 more like that. Basic express package runs around $18, next tier is around $28, for the box in a box option; next is $10 more. You must be emphatic on the invoice for them to ship it in the most basic form. I agree you should not be charged for more service in shipping than you get on ebay but if you get the item unmolested, you should let the sender know it arrived and the deal is consumated. If you are unhappy with the chance the seller took you are free to not do further business with that entity. Not everyone is an ace with shipping things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
