[MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] Auction houses

I was wondering if anyone of you ever filed a successful damage claim with UPS?

Terms of Service vary from country to country, and in Germany UPS does not insure highend collectibles. UPS Germany also clearly states in their ToS that 'we do not have to tell you this when we grab your insurance money'.

Also, their 'packing requirements' are so ridiculous that they will effectively NEVER pay for damages.

I ship items, especially high end items, via UPS as they insure for items much higher than Fedex or the post office (which I don't have much confidence in). For any of you that ship material frequently, you might check out Pirate Ship. They are a company that contracts with the post office and UPS for volume discounts and they give great discounts, have incredible customer service (Hello Matey) and they offer the post office and UPS. I've been using them for a few years and have never had any issues and an say they are one of the best companies I've ever dealt with.....I've gotten several dealers and others that ship routinely to get into their program.

Thanks,

Sue

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
