How do you guys ship coins where the other party does not allege one coin was missing or damaged? How do you protect yourself from the not so upstanding citizens amoungst us? SD
Hmmm....I don't know the volume your talking about, but one cheap solution may be the digital camera. Include a digital image of the product shipped on the invoice. Helps you to know your shipping the right thing, can make for a more professional looking invoice, and sends a subtle message to those who may try to rip you off that way, that you have photo evidence of what was shipped.
It’s non-coin related but here at work we use an old Polaroid camera. Take a few pictures of all the item packed it a crate. It’s hard to fake with the crater’s well-tattooed arms in the pic’s. It’s saved us $100,000’s over the years.
A photo of the items in the shipping box means nothing because items could have been removed after the photo was taken and before the package was sealed. Just ship insured through the PO and if he tries to claim something was missing or damaged just have him fill out the claim forms. (If you really think he maybe trying to pull afast one you could remind him of the penalties for committing mail fraud by lying on the claim form.) After that it is the PO's problem.
