Possibly, but I would be surprised. We may never know but I would not want lower level company representatives making statements or taking actions without my knowledge, potentially binding the company to a position in subsequent legal proceedings that I would not have counseled. But maybe that's just me, and Fanatics' protocols have different thresholds before legal gets involved.

It's very early. They may ask sales level people to try to work things out before escalating them to management and that's what the rep is trying to do. This is a very substantial company, this ain't Brent and Betsy. There is no reason to believe a 40K delivery dispute has already reached anyone in authority.

You could be right. Then again, once made aware that their customer has filed a police report and that law enforcement at some point may be making inquiries, I would think that legal is at least notified and kept in the loop.

Russ -- good chatting with you a few months back, and like the others I'm gutted for you.

My recent FedEx experience was rough as well:

PSA Reholder submission
-Just over 70k in value
-Sent back to me FedEx Overnight service, and moving through system on 01/09
-Not delivered 01/10. Nor on 01/11, nor 01/12
-Out for delivery on 01/13 and I was home all day, waiting
-No delivery attempt 01/13, but at end of day the driver stated 'delivery attempted, no recipient available', and then uploaded a blacked out photo with her finger over the camera lens to prove a delivery had been attempted
-Customer service of absolutely no help via phone
-01/14 successful delivery of the Overnight service package

Also, PSA has started shipping cards back in poly bags, rather than multiple boxes it seems. The corner of the single box was crunched to heck, but thankfully slabs were spared. Must have taken a direct blow on the corner when dropped on a hard surface.

That said, had a wonderful experience with UPS this week on an Overnight delivery. There you have it

Hoping for the very best possible outcome for you, Russ.

Yeah but do people have the patience in this day and age of instant gratification? It just took a card two weeks plus to get to me in Massachusetts from New Mexico.

For likely less than the price of shipping and insurance, I’d just buy a plane ticket and pick it up….but the cake is baked.

Registered mail is fairly reasonably priced, no?

That’s been my experience. My recollection is that I’ve shipped using USPS registered mail with $25k of insurance for less than $100.

Now at a declared value of $15 million, you're talking real money.

The fees for USPS Registered Mail are found on Page 28 of this USPS publication: https://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals.../notice123.pdf

Yes, I just meant if you want it faster than Registered. The rare times I have used it, it took so long it felt like they were walking it across the damn country.

Once I had a registered USPS package opened and tampered with.
