Posted just now on The Coin Geek YouTube podcast, CACG will “pivot” on this issue: Announcement at 21:28: https://youtu.be/u76xP4Di34U Tim

In case any of us wondered if JA was being personally targeted by the "Kearny Experience", I have a new shipping issue there which is completely unrelated to CAC. I purchased a very unique NGC Sample Slab on ebay last week and as luck would have it…

@john - thanks for the detailed information on the NJ postal operations. Assuming you are still a member here as we are not inclined to kill the messenger. @JACAC - thanks for the "not" shocking news on the missing Express Mail bags in Kearny. Any…

jtlee321 said: Well the package arrived today!! Yay!! The box is a Medium Flat Rate that is 12" x 14" x 3.5", not small but not huge either. Should have been big enough to be a bit of a thorn in the side of the Postal Employees. Great…

jtlee321 said: The saga continues. USPS managed to load my package on the wrong truck and send it to the other side of the state to Spokane and now it's back in Seattle. I was hoping it was going to be delivered today. Oh well, maybe by Frida…

Well @jtlee321, if my shipments were a barometer, you did quite well at "only" five days in Kearny. Tim

jtlee321 said: I'm glad yours finally made it. My return package just arrived in Kearny last night. I hope it doesn't have a travel agent that booked it for a weeks stay. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Fantastic results on that 1.2 Rattler…

The next time, ask CAC to use 12 X 12 X 12 boxes, the largest allowed before surcharges get ridiculous, especially for long distances. And merely use First Class (if the weight warrants it) because Priority does not go any faster for Registered Mail…

And the saga is finally complete. Just received the two CAC returns. Nine of the thirteen and eight of the eleven day transit times were spent sitting in the Kearny NJ Post Office: In case one was wondering what all the fuss was about...here ar…

This morning, I received the three sweetest words in any USPS update on both packages: "Out for Delivery" Thanks to all for the moral support and empathy! Tim

Glad to hear your package is moving, @pointfivezero . I know I was getting concerned with six days at Kearney a couple weeks ago. I’m guessing there’s no way to avoid Kearney for shipments to/fro CAC via USPS. Hopefully, Va Beach has a top-notch USP…

Almost forgot to add, both my CAC returns arrived in San Francisco yesterday afternoon. After spending most of October in Kearny NJ they have traveled across the country in 24 hours: Tim Congrats! Thanks! Will confirm it can make the "…

FWIW, I've been following @CACfan 's "big box" shipping advice, and it appears to be working. I use large flat-rate priority boxes (I recognize I need to get some generic boxes to save money) and registered shipping. My past three shipments to CAC…

Good discussion. As a 40 year veteran of Distribution and Logistics operations, I can state there is usually a cost penalty for shipping larger cartons. We call this "Dim Weight" or volume weight. It used to be restricted to air freight shipments…

JACAC said: We have a meter , we basically spoon feed them and they still refused. The employees there are telling me that they were going to lodge grievances against Cac. I don’t know what to tell you, @JACAC. Almost sounds like a pe…

After my return sub was stuck in Kearny for six days I see that it finally arrived at the Jamaica facility today...where it stayed for all of 2.5 hours before departing for the next facility. @pointfivezero , I hope your packages made similar progre…

Spoke to the local Postmaster twice yesterday. He was also unable to reach the Kearny Post Office. Now at Day 9 and Day 7 respectively for my two CAC returns: Tim

Received a phone call from my local PO on my two open "Find my Package" cases. I was told that Registered Mail requires a "hand to hand" process and as a result, they take a "little longer". I responded that nothing was being handed to anybody in …

They just refuse to service our account, we have to go to the next town over where the Post office welcomes our business Understood JA. My suspicion (and definitely not a defense) is your local PO is reluctant to deal with the quantity of labor …

What postal code do you reside in, @Vincent.Savage? I may start house hunting tonight. I'm sure GC uses Priority Mail, as does DLRC. This is a much faster service than Registered Mail but the insurance is much more expensive and limited to $5K pe…

Thanks @CACfan - looks like I will have to wait for the "Find My Package" inquiry to run its course before I can start the Help Request Form:

How to greatly speed up Registered Mail deliveries: 1. Have the sender use a GIGANTIC box. Postal employees hate having space hogs in their safes, locked cages, locked offices, locked vehicles, and everywhere else that Registered Mail is stored. …
