Registered mail and first world problems

Wanted the seller to ship overnight from FL to CA

He ended up shipping registered mail so he can insure for over the $5k limit from USPS express.

Now I can't united Hulk & Batman for another week or 2

Yes I know, 1st world problems

Registered mail is the safest but dreadfully slow. I feel your pain.

A real WIS would fly pick up the watch and fly home.

I tried doing that once for a 14060, but the seller in NYC was a prick and said I was a scammer for wanting to meet him in person for a face to face transaction. Go figure....

Registered mail to NYC from here in sunny Florida took a week vacation in Orlando.
No excuse, no explanation.
Priority mail or express mail would have taken from 1 to 2 days.

I'm waiting on an incoming too!

I'll have to go pick it up from Fedex tonight, and cannot wait!

The only other way around is by using private insurance by ParcelPro and Fedex / UPS
