Never heard of a Mike at my house.



I paid insurance to Goldin. However as a previous poster said, for collectibles they may only cover up to $1000 which would be an absolutely enormous loss. I have a trace on it now.

I'm sure Goldin uses a 3rd party for insurance, not FedEx, so I'd let them know if the package doesn't turn up.

Yes I reached out to them tonight. They came back pretty fast and said just let them handle it. Said I was covered for the full amount of indeed it was “lost.”

Had a neighbor stop by the front door and nothing was there. They looked at their cameras as well and no Fedex truck even came by the house. So it’s one of these fake deliveries and will see if something comes up tomorrow.

You may live in a time warp.

Regularly but not often, I have a USPS package marked "Out for Delivery" at the start of the day. The day comes and goes. The mail is delivered ad no package is there. A check of the Tracking # says "Held at the Post Office per Customer's Request"..... WTF?...... Needless to say, no such request was made. The package arrives the next day........with no input from me.

Mike,

I don't check tracking as usually I get various status sent to my emails. I do have the USPS "Informed Delivery" and generally that is fairly accurate. On the occasion that a package is slated to be delivered that day and isn't, it almost always shows up the next day (so I don't know if the tracking status you see is what I would see as well). I've had 1 case where it came in 3 days later, but there were extenuating circumstances there. In some cases, and I think it's mostly (but not always) related to the size of package, it gets delivered outside of our normal route delivery (ie by someone who is only delivery packages), so that may be a factor as well.

All that said, we are fortunate to have very responsible postal service here. I get more concerned with packages I send out.

I have had nothing but poor experience with Fedex, to the extent that I ask fellow hobbyists NOT to use them when shipping to me. I'd trust a carrier pigeon over them. Trent King

+1 and the pigeon could be blind and have severe memory problems.

I have had those A-Holes even scratch out my business address and write in my home address and vise versa. So when I am at the proper address they try and deliver it to one of my other addresses.
