How are big ticket items delivered?

Does the policy define "dealer" or "dealer stock" anywhere?

Yeah, good question. There is a definition page that defines Dealer Stock. No definition of “dealer”, but probably because this is a “collector’s” policy.

When you send registered mail with USPS, you can buy insurance, and the limits are high. My experience is that the price isn’t exhorbitant.

I’ve sent high priced items this way with insurance up to $25k. Last time I sent an item with insurance at this level, I think it cost like $75.00.

I'm always concerned about sending a card registered mail with a lot of insurance. Basically advertising to anyone who sees it it's something worth stealing.

I've sent a few $50k cards to AHs. Usually fed ex next
morning delivery and hold my breath. Never a problem.

If memory serves, at least one AH will cover you with their policy when you ship to them and follow their guidelines. Could be that other AHs have similar policies.

The other alternative with a valuable consignment is to have an AH rep pick up the item. I've had reps from a few companies come to my office to get consignments. Once they sign a receipt, it is on them.

If you have high value items every major auction house should insure your consignment from the time you ship it to them until the time it is sold or returned unsold to you. If you ask they will almost surely cover your shipping costs to them.
