Easy fellow collectors ....

After reading all the concerned posting about NGC getting your boxes, felt I would ease your concerns.

No I am not affiliated with the USPS in any way first off.

When you ship something registered, it becomes a bonded item which means it is ONLY stored and handled in a BONDED area. (Under lock & key) Only a minimum personal will even handle your box, or whatever you sent. The masses are not exposed to your item. When it comes into the bonded area it is signed for and when it leaves it is signed out again so there is a paper trail of who handled it.

Trying to "track" your item on line when you sent it registered is impossible when compared to just having a delivery confirmation number. They do NOT show every stop and handling of registered items on line for obvious reasons. They will show that the item was delivered. Anything in between that and when you sent it really means nothing.

It is a really safe and secure way to ship anything of value. I have never had anything lost or not delivered sending it registered. I sent my box on the 15th and it arrived today. I didn't expect for NGC to list it yet as I knew they would be behind with every mothers son and daughter sending theirs in.

By the way, my info on the USPS comes from a close friend who has been in their employ for almost 30 years. He worked in the bonded area for over 10 years.

Even if it was lost or stolen (shi# happens I know) that's why you insure it.
