ASA - Accugrade Coin Grading - PLEASE ADVISE
Thanks again for the insightful info. I appreciate your educated
input. I am off to the post office tomorrow (monday) to commence the insurance process - at this point, I think that it's a lost cause, no phone messages returned, no e-mail acknowledgements and way past the claimed "guaranteed 21 business day" turn around. Hopefully, will get the value of the coins back. (I guess I will have to "eat" the grading fee - as they have already charged my CC.) Sigh. Live and learn. never again with these guys.

(ASA will SUE me? For what? I have not made any statements about the quality of their grading - just the fact that I have not received my coins in the time frame advertised.) Don't blame anyone. Some who were sued by ACG were out quite a bit of money before they got dropped from the suit, you really can't blame them for being a bit gun shy. Will ACG sue you for the above post? Probably not. They are having terrible luck trying to sue individuals for saying bad things and they've got bigger fish to fry. But ACG does monitor this newsgroup (Hi Clayton!) and has corrected some of their ebay blunders mentioned here. Perhaps they'll look into your problem and take care of it. You could also try the number for Treasure Gallery from this auction: http://snipurl.com/xmj5 That's ah-collectables new ebay id, and ah-collectibles = Al Hager = ACG. They may be more inclined to answer that phone number. Anyway, if I don't get my coins next week and/or don't hear from there - I'm off to the post office, thank goodness, the transaction was insured. ALWAYS ship insured, even to the major services. Stuff happens.

Assuming you're talking about USPS insurance: If ASA charged your credit card, then it seems they received the coins. Thus, *your* USPS insurance will probably get you nowhere. The only way the USPS will get involved is if ASA shipped the slabs back and they went missing. In which case, ASA would probably have to file the claim. Remember, the USPS is only insuring that the package makes it to the destination - unless I'm way off base as to how USPS insurance works... -- Jim Seymour Jim, you are absolutely correct. The USPS will not get involved if ASA Accugrade has not shipped the package of coins back to the sender. The coins apparaently DID get to Accugrade as the sender's credit card was already charged and the original sender has not received them back from Accugrade. I believe he will get them back in due time (albeit late) but that is not anything that the sender's postal insurance addresses. I suppose the sender could contact his credit card company and apply for a chargeback. At least he may get his $100 back if the CC company is convinced that the service paid for has not been performed. I still think he'll get them back. Alex, wait another month. That would be my advice. Ira (one of the original Acuugrade defendents) |

OK, I trust you guys since you have vastly more knowledge on the
subject matter than I do. Another week or so. Quick question - is this a norm? (turnaround taking significantly longer than advertised"guaranteed".) thanks again for all your valuable input.

Alex, On what date was the charge run? Count 21 business days from that date (no weekends) and that will give to the date it should ship out from them. I have sent orders to them and that is how i determine when the order it should be on the the way back to me. My orders are shipped back registered insured mail which takes 3-5 days to get to me.

Hi, as far as grading (and this is NOT judging ASA in any way, just
strictly IMHO) - the grades were pretty conservative. Lower than I expected, but again, I am FAR from an expert...... Thanks again for the input. Jeff R. wrote: wrote in message ups.com...
