Hello John, Yes, this is unfortunately something that PayPal requires as they need a signature on receipt for us to be eligible to use their service, I am told. The same with the CC companies in allowing the insurance they offer the holders of the card. Unfortunately, when shipping overseas the USPS has no control on the delivery side as to acquiring signatures. Remember, this is for PayPal and CC orders. Clients can still pay with wire or check and have their items shipped however they like. Best,
Grey From: JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia [mailto:johnr...@moviemem.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 3:17 PM To: Smith, Grey - 1367; MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: New Heritage Shipping Policy? I just received shipping instructions from Heritage and noticed that there seems to have been a change of policy.... Please note that all orders over $250 and paid by PayPal or credit card must be shipped via FedEx or UPS. Shipping costs have always been an issue for internation bidders with the "to be determined" aspect meaning that you never know how much you are going to pay for postage. I'm not sure if this policy is across the board to include all Sunday auctions and even eBay auctions. I imagine that shipping by Fedex or UPS is going to greatly increase the cost of postage for international customers. Perhaps Grey might be able to comment on the policy change.
