Quote:Originally Posted by Thanatos Yes, I know you can't have the books rerouted to you. I am pretty sure that you should be able to have the delivery cancelled and returned to sender (CBCS) by calling FedEx, though....or possibly have the delivery put on a freeze, intil Monday, when CBCS steps in. I would guess that could be accomplished by giving Fed Ex the unique order number supplied by CBCS, which should be vidible on the Fed ex shipping label created by CBCS. Even if I'm wrong, which is a good 50/50 ,CBCS will get this sorted out for you. I was just saying that is something I would look into, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time.  |

| Regarding insurance.......yes, Fed Ex and UPS insure collectibles. Of course they insure collectibles. The books would all be insured under the fair market value given by the submitter. If no value was given by the submitter, CBCS would pay out the maximum per book, per tier. IOW, if it was a submission of 10 moderns via Modern Fast Track, it would be $200 (max FMV for thst tier) per book..., times 10 books.....and the shipment was lost or stolen.....CBCS would pay put two grand. UPS Ground is limited to $100, that is where a lot of people get confused. |

| What is the estimated delivery date? Mine took a week and it was just up the coast. These are going cross country. I'm assuming ground. You should be able to get ahold of someone Monday when business opens. Don't Panic! He other thing is that even if hey are going somewhere else, it's likely to another comic fan who will likely sympathize and work with cbcs to get you your comics. Wouldn't anyone here do the same if you got someone else's shipment? |

| Absolutely. No matter what, I'm sure the correction will be made & the correct books will get delivered in the long run. It doesn't stop you from worrying (it's reasonable to worry) but it absolutely will get resolved. |

| Just because CBCS is return shipping via Fed Ex, does not mean Fed Ex is insuring the package. The insurance could be coming from a third party. Although if it was a label error, not sure if thats something that would be covered by any insurance policy. | ||

| On a practical level, this probably HAS happened before with the volume they do. They have to have something in place to take care of it. On Monday, they will be able to help you . |

Quote:Originally Posted by Homer I do not know the particulars as far as who would be covering insurance but I am absolutely sure if the books do not get to the submitter, the submitter would be getting the full assigned FMV of said books.If insurance did not cover the loss, CBCS would just pay out, eating it as an operating cost. I would bet a testicle on that....and I fully enjoy having two testicles. |

| @CopperAgeKids When I've shipped via FedEx before they told me the limit was $1000 of insurance for comic books. Maybe CBCS uses separate insurance to cover their inventory + in-transit items, like CC does. It would make sense, no? |

Expected delivery is on 11 Jan 2018 so there is time to reroute the shipment...hopefully. I'm really hoping they just mix & matched our shipping information on the computer and all will be will. One more day till I can reach someone from CBCS... |

| I knew I read it somewhere. I just picked up a CGC form, on the back of the form it says. Warning: FedEX insurance covers only $100.00 in damage or loss, if your comic books are worth more than $100.00 we recommend you use USPS Registered mail, or provide your own insurance and carrier account. Not that CBCS couldn't get there own third party insurance as a company to cover FedEx shipments being returned to customers. I wouldn't trust FedEx or UPS with any of my comic books worth more than $100.00 under there declared value policy. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CopperAgeKids ??? And what would you do with a third testicle, keep it as a spare? No sane company is gonna operate so they could lose THAT much money continuously. Insurance is not an "option". Neither is working with a carrier that will only insure a fifty thousand dollar book with only one thousand dollars of insurance. Not when said company will be dealing with thousands of customers AND hundreds of thousands of old valuable books worth a lot more than $1,000 at a time. |

| The fact that CBCS doesn't have customer service 24 hr, 7 day a wk service says they recognize a need not to throw money away. To stay in business, they have to cover their transactions so they don't get robbed or lose their company thru problems caused by third parties errors. | ||

IronMan private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I might be late to this party but I have some experience and knowledge on subjects mentioned, so will chime in. CGC and CBCS - on rare occasions - ship books to the wrong person. Over the years I've personally experienced it maybe four times - 2 CGC, 2 CBCS. And read about many other times. It's just human beings at work you know. A phone call to the grading company needs to be made as soon as the open. While packages are still in transit the shipper (grading company) can make a recall request. MOST of the time that is the end of it. The package is tracked down and returned to the grading company. On those occasions the package is already delivered the grading company calls up the recipient and says "hey, we need those books back". ULTIMATELY, no matter what, the grading company will make it right. Replace the books or pay for them if it comes to that. BUT IT STARTS WITH A PHONE CALL TO THE GRADING COMPANY. THEY DON'T KNOW THEY SHIPPED THE BOOKS TO THE WRONG PERSON UNTIL SOMEONE TELLS THEM. As for FedEx, UPS and collectibles. Let me be clear. FedEx and UPS do NOT like collectibles. UPS has some language about not providing insurance coverage on items where most of the value is based on collectibility. FedEx limits coverage to $1000. You cannot count on the person behind the counter knowing the rules. But you can count on any adjuster settling the claim knowing. CGC shipments via FedEx and UPS are insured for $100. The recipient is expected to have private shipping insurance. CBCS most certainly has their own private shipping insurance for FedEx or they are self insured. |

| And since I'm here, I'll add that CBCS has private insurance for packages. We do not rely on carrier insurance and *if* they will pay out or not. | ||
