I see all these expensive things flying from here to there-- 2 carats sent from NY dealer, 5 carat from East Nowhere to New Jersey-- so how are you guys shipping these things?!!
Is it US Postal Service? If so, using what service? Express, Priority, Registered, what?
Or is it FedEx or UPS?
I've gotten things a couple of different ways, and it seems the vendors just ship it, cross their fingers, and don't even have insurance.
Over the years, my DH has lost one laptap via FedEx, a $300 item via USPS, and had checks stolen via US mail. FedEx didn't pay a penny of the insurance claim, USPS didn't pay on the $300 item (Paypal came through on that), and we had to cancel and hand carry new checks.
I don't get how anybody sends anything, anywhere.
I might have to send something off, but I'm paranoid.
How do send stuff within the US? Or how did you receive some of this pricey stuff?
