I've sent a few thousand registered packages over my 25 years in the hobby and never had a single one lost. Sometimes they do take a little longer but they arrive 100% of the time. And the cost of sending a 9K package fully insured is around $25-30.

Actually I think I sent Scott Brockelman's T206 Plank I picked up for him from Sotheby's years ago and mailed it Registered and insured as he requested and it was about $28 so Barry is on target.

Sotheby's wanted $400 to ship it and I was already training up to pick up my 1933 Goudey Lajoie I won.

Remember that Scott?

Dan, I just sent a $1.5K package registered, and the cost was $30.74. I think they must have raised their registered mail rates, as this sounded incredibly high to me, but hell - I was already standing in line, so I just paid it

Yeah it was many years ago Scott so inflation may have hit their rates.

Damn I thought I had the picture of that box still. I know I had saved it forever.

It has been posted here before too, probably on the old NET54 board.

It blows my mind that a company can guarantee a grade through a plastic case.

Turns out they overcharged me at the post office - I just mailed two packages that were of a much higher value, and neither came in that high.

Also, regarding insurance - for registered mail you MUST declare the package's actual value, and that's what they base the price on;i.e-getting insurance isn't optional.

I use registered for any expensive package I send and the only issue I have had is slow delivery times.

I do find it interesting that someone would consider not insuring a registered package to the content value to save what $20???

I also agree with Beckett in that you should only have been refunded for the value of the card, trying to collect the cost of flying to a show, hotel and the submissions fees from another grading company is almost imo you trying to take advantage of the situation.

Thanks, Scott.

When did flaming start picking up again in internet forums? I seem to be running into it everywhere these days - perhaps it's the state of the economy?
