I had all recent Heritage purchases shipped with Fedex, and I have to say, they gave me GREAT rates, and we're talking like $23 for a onesheet delivered to Germany.
For my last Signature auctions wins (seven linenbacked posters, about 13 lbs or so) they charged me about $80 for Fedex, and you can't beat that. All the time, I find that I'm paying more money to eBay sellers who ship Priority Mail, than Heritage charges me for Fedex! Frankly, this is the first time in dealing with a 'corporate' auction house, that I don't feel constantly ripped off with the shipping rates. (The last NASTY experience involved Midhudson Auctions, their 'everybody says he's sooo reasonable' shipper wanted $100 to ship a midget window card to Germany via Priority Mail, and almost $200 to ship it via UPS.) Again, I couldn't care less about the new Heritage policy, as I have them ship with Fedex anyway, and it's been working out extremely well for me.
