[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7877157, member: 118780"]Thank you for all the replies! I checked FedEx, and they have two services that sound interesting: 1) Declared value up to $100k. They're clear that this isn't insurance, but is the most FedEx is liable for. I assume this just means that FedEx will try really hard not to pay. 2) Security Box kit. This is a metal case with a key and a combination that fits inside one of their boxes. Only the shipper and recipient have access to both. I'm guessing that the key is sent separately, while the combination is relayed over the phone. However, my son was just figuring he'd have to fly out there, so that may be the solution if he pulls one soon. The problem is that eventually his business will be bringing enough that it won't be cost effective to close it, unless he hires someone to deliver, and that has security problems itself. Any ideas what Brinks charges to deliver/insure a $200k coin say from one coast to the other? Their website isn't obvious, and I assume that means I need to call them and pretend to be someone important. :) It's actually fascinating to watch him. He does most of his business through live streaming, where he sells spots in breaks and boxes directly. Stuff that doesn't sell immediately he puts on his web site and he pushes it later. His biggest limitation right now is that PayPal and Venmo usually hold his money for 3-5 days. One of the models for his operation is my nephew, who's 21 and currently makes $500k a year moving sneakers. Certainly crazy times for a business![/QUOTE]
