Same here. I have been shipping around the world for 30 years and hardly ever had a problem. At one time, DHL Express lost a package from Japan. They recovered it about six months later and called me to tell me that they had long refunded the sender and asked if I still wanted it. I did.
 
The only actual less I remember was a package to Canada. Canada Post claimed they had delivered it but the sender said he never got it. I still have a strong feeling that he managed to get hold of it without a signature and decided to help himself to a free poster.
 
Since Parcel Post is a major pain between Germany and the US I am sending everything with UPS or sometimes DHL Express these days. At my rates, the costs are similar and orders reliably arrive within 2-5 days.
 
Also, for expensive posters I buy external insurance these days. I guess I am getting feeble in my old days.

Betreff: Re: [MOPO] Auction houses

I don’t have much choice sending auction items from Australia. It always feels risky but I use the postal service and sometimes Fedex or UPS. Havent had any problems in all the years I have been sending things to the US.

I have sent posters to Bruce, Propstore and Heritage over the years albeit nothing to HA for several years. I have always found Bruce great to deal with and have sent a huge amount of posters to him over the years. Everything has sold and there is never an issue with payment or communication. Grey at Propstore is also great to deal with. The best result I ever had was with Heritage but that was around 10 years ago. Their high buyers premiem puts me off a bit. I used to send a lot to Christies in London but I don’t think they do much these days.

I sent items to Propstore for the first time last year and did very well.  I have customers that have tried to contact Heritage to auction items off and have never heard back after talking with two or three different people.  I told them that had never been the case in the past but I've now heard from a few people that were having the same issue.  Now, they had never auction anything before so weren't familiar names to those at Heritage but one customer in particular had some very high end piece to sell.....Grey at Propstore, as he was when at Heritage is very nice to deal with.  Depending on what you have, I've had several customers over the past couple years send material to Bruce at emovieposter.com and have done very well.  That's the scoop from my end.

Good luck.........Sue - Hollywood Poster Frames and HollywoodPosters.com
