Storage box for PCGS slabs?

kchan1111 · November 30, 2014, 08:45:41 PM

Are there any good storage solutions for PCGS slabs around? I am looking to get some of these blue PCGS boxes. But reasonably priced ones are so hard to find here in Australia.

Apologies if this has been asked before here.

You get them when a submission is returned.
Some of the PCGS dealers may be able to help you out.
Eric normally sells them for $10 a box at shows.

Dammit should have picked several up from you and Eric last time in ANDA.

There is also this option... around the same - $20 each but no shipping: http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/items/pcgs-blue-storage-boxes-hold-20-coins

Those boxes sell for much less in the US. There are listings on US eBay where they are under $4 for boxes that have been used once (to ship from PCGS to the dealer) and are as good as new. New never used boxes sell for under $10 (one is 8.29 USD which is about 9AUD). Outside eBay I found a coin accessories dealer offering them for 6.29 USD from his online store.
Might be a niche market for someone like PP. Could be a problem that freight from the US or to the customer from the local supplier seems to be more than the slabs initial costs.
If you get a group together interested in buying then I saw 40 new boxes for 320.87USD (including priority shipping to Australia). That is under $10 (Australian) for new boxes.

Postage is what really hurts.

Especially the corners - they can really smart if the package falls on you!

I've ordered 7 for around $USD 6-7 each from an US eBay seller. That should keep me going for a while.

I haven't bought from an international seller for a while. Their Global Shipping program is a huge improvement from the old days with tracking including.

did they hit you hard for postage?
