Has anyone ever tried to peel one of those off?

Somethings definitely rotten in Denmark with all these high $ packages disappearing by lately.

Sounds like someone in Dallas that has knowledge of the contents of packages with certain tracking numbers is tipping off someone in Memphis.

Lately? This has been happening for years at FedEx but people always scream how theyre so much better than USPS.

Registered mail is quickly showing why it's the best. This is crazy. But also, this shows that Beckett and other grading companies need to do a better job of hiding their company title on the shipped packages. From now on why not use 10 employee names and just start using those names as the from rather than stating Beckett, BGS, etc.

Sorry this happened, really hope it shows up.

I've been sending all of my BGS submissions (none as of late) to a group submitter based in Dallas who does in person pickup/dropoff. I've heard horror stories of BGS and FedEx even from late 2019, doesn't seem worth risking sending directly to them anymore.

It's going to have to be registered mail for me and nothing else going forward.

Registered mail via USPS? Is that really that much more secure than the other options? I think tracking is not even updated as frequently with registered mail

Haven't really used it that much so just asking

"the label fell off" yea right. You can't even peel it off without 10 minutes of effort lol.

the story is a nightmare! Most likely theft. Someone thought it was a big ticket item in that box and they were right. Who knows, maybe it does end up showing up late .

Yeah it’s the most secure. It goes into a lock box and if I’m not mistaken signed off by both parties (postal workers) every time it changes hands

Much more secure. I realize that USPS has a reputation as well, but registered mail is a different story.
