Putting together my submission I noticed this. Do I have to pay the cost of shipping for each invoice and not as the lot? I'm kinda confused.  |

That is EXPENSIVE to ship a coin. Can't you just mail it in an envelope and insure it?

That's Return Shipping. Shipping there is $50 because of insurance

Look I think the problem here is the different grading tiers and the different services. so they will grade and ship out at different times.
If you are submitting invoices which you will want to have shipped/returned in the same package, I'd suggest writing that on each invoice. For example, on invoice #1, write "Please ship with invoice #2 #3 and #4 in the same package" and on invoice #2, write "Please ship with invoice #1 in the same package". and invoice #3, and invoice #4. ect.
You will get them all at the same time, and it will be whichever is the slowest turn around time. If you don't say anything they will ship it how they are supposed to based on the tiers and services requested with the invoice, if you write it on there, it's basically putting it in writing that you'll skip whenever one invoice is ready and wait for all of them to be ready and ship together for cheaper shipping and handling costs.
By doing this, you can knock the shipping and handling down from $140.00 to around $50 or so (depending on the value of the shipment and if additional insurance is required). If you want to feel better about it, call them first and verify that you can do it, but I'm 100% sure you can do it. it will just take as long as your slowest grading service selected takes and they will all be shipped together in the one package instead of as each invoice finishes.

Is there a reason why you're breaking up that submission into 4 submissions? Are you mixing world and US coins? You don't have to do separate submissions for variety or errors As long as you aren't mixing world and US coins you should have have two submissions, a modern with 2 coins and an early bird with 5 coins. You can pick and choose what coins get the error service and variety service. Edited by basebal21

If you've sent them in already still fairly sure as long as they haven't been shipped back to you you can change it and tell them to ship it all back to you at once, or two shipments. Give them a call and have the invoice numbers ready so they can identify them.

Even better, find a local dealer that likes you. Mine still only charges me $25 per coin, flat cost... plus, he looks them over for me to make sure I'm not being stupid.  Added bonus, he lets me look though his new, slabbed arrivals and body bagged coins. It's fun to discuss why we usually both think the coin is fine but they didn't grade it. It's BY FAR the best way to learn. I always preach, you can't really grade by pictures very accurately. There is no substitute for having a coin in hand.  Edited by BadThad

Very true. At the LCS I had to process the ANACS returns that Julian (our boss) had sent out. All came back fine except for an -09s VDB that came back as an added 'S' mm. I used it as an opportunity to teach the store manager (also my boss) the 4 S MM positions for the -09s VDB because apparently he didn't know them and had purchased the fake.
