POSTAGE AND INSURANCE

 

U.S. ADDRESSES

(Actual costs may vary due to size, weight, etc. of unusual packages)

 

Insured 1^st Class: total under $100 value=$4.00, $100-500 value=$3.00 + $1.00 per $100 full value. 2-7 days.

 

Insured Priority Mail – My Preferred Method especially for slabs, cased material (up to 16 oz.): Examples:

Value              Cost

$   50              $  6.50

   100                  7.00

   200                  8.00

   300                  9.50

   400                10.50

   500                11.50

   600                12.50

   700                13.50

   800                14.50

   900                15.00

 1000                16.00

 1100                17.00

 1200                18.00

 1300                19.00

 1400                20.00

 1500                21.00

Maximum Insurance $5000.

Over about $1500, Registered becomes more economical, but slower.

 

Registered Priority: Examples (up to 16 oz.):

Value: $1000, cost $17.50

Value: $10,000, cost $23.00

 

Media Mail: For books, documents. This is slower, depends on weight, but costs less than 1^st Class, and can be insured. Usually 5-10 days.

 

NON-U.S. ADDRESSES (SHIPMENTS ARE ALWAYS AT BUYER’S RISK!*)

The USPS changed much of the international service last year, raising some rates and re-naming many of the services. The rates now also depend on the dimensions of the package or box. The best way to determine postage costs is to pick a method from below and let me check the weight and dimensions of the package for a cost.

 

There is no real insurance for international shipment of coins or other items of direct monetary value. Insuring coins is nearly useless, and Registration often provides no help after it leaves the U.S. However, the choice is yours.

 

Customs forms are required for all packages. What the forms say is negotiable.

 

1^st Class International: This method can also be Registered, but has no delivery time estimate. Example: padded envelope 4 oz. $3.75; Registered $14.50.

 

Priority Mail International (My Preferred Method): 6-10 days (not available to all countries). Example: Priority Box (up to 16 oz.) $20.00; with insurance (up to $650) $30.00.

 

FedEx: 2-3 days at most. Available to most countries. For bulky orders. Expensive, but quick and relatively dependable. A typical cost will be in the $75-125 range.

 

* I will package your order extremely well and send it however you specify. If you do not receive it, and tracking (if any) shows that it left the U.S., I will not be held responsible and cannot reimburse your loss.
