Detailed Shipping Instructions
Please follow these instructions to ensure prompt and safe shipment of your items to ICollectMoviePosters.com.
1. BEFORE mailing to ICollectMoviePosters.com, please contact us to pre-qualify your shipment plans.

We need to be aware of incoming packages, and can give you an estimate of value to use when insuring your items during shipment.
Note: If you have already received an e-mail from ICollectMoviePosters.com (or have spoken to us), and we indicated that you can ship your items, then you are 'pre-qualified'. So, you can continue with the shipping instructions below.

Please note that any items sent to us without being 'pre-qualified' first may not be eligible to receive our free appraisal and shipping services.
2. Once we confirm your shipment plans, we strongly recommend that you mail your package using Insured Priority Mail with the U.S. Postal Service.

Please insure your items for their estimated value (or the amount that you feel is appropriate).
With Insured Priority Mail, you can insure a shipment for up to $5,000. If your collection is worth more than this amount, you can use Registered Mail to fully insure the items.

If you'd like to use a different shipping provider or carrier (other than the US Post Office), you'll need to get approval from us first. Otherwise, you may not be eligible for reimbursement of shipping charges.

ICollectMoviePosters.com is not responsible for your items until we actually take delivery.
3. Prepare for shipment by packaging your items, as follows...

Secure your items inside a strong cardboard box.
Use plenty of packing material so the contents don't have room to move around in the box, or bang into other items, during shipment.

Include a letter indicating your name, mailing address, telephone number and/or e-mail address. Also, please include a brief description, or inventory list, of the items you're shipping (or if you have been corresponding with us through e-mail, please enclose a copy of the last e-mail sent or received).
If you have a specific sell price that you are seeking, or a prior offer/appraisal value, please include that information as well.

After taping the box(es) securely, make sure there are no mailing addresses visible on the outside of the box.
If there are, cover them up. Sometimes the Post Office will help you fix this by putting their own tape over the box when you're ready to mail it. If you're unsure, just bring it to the Post Office and they'll help you out.
4. Address your package to ...
Jon Warren
USPS Box 2512
Chattanooga, TN 37409
(Just to be extra safe, we're directing you to not write the full company name on the address label. This helps disguise the contents.)
5. Bring your package to the Post Office and pay to have it sent as Priority Mail, insured for full value.
6. Send us a message to confirm the shipment has taken place. You can use our Contact form (top right of this page), or email us at jon@iguide.net.
Please indicate the shipping charges in this e-mail. We will reimburse reasonable shipping charges for sellers (based upon standard mail rates).
When we receive your shipment, we'll send you back a confirmation e-mail.
Shortly after (usually the same day, not more than 5 business days), we'll contact you with our appraised value of your items. This appraised value represents an immediate, cash offer to buy your items.
Please note that you will not receive a detailed, written appraisal for your items with this free service. We will, however, indicate the total appraised value of your shipment, which will represent our offer to buy. We're also happy to answer any questions you may have. (Comprehensive, written appraisals can be provided for a fee by requesting a formal appraisal (send email to jon@iguide.net).)
If you accept our offer, we will send out a company check that day. This will include reimbursement for reasonable shipping charges you incurred.
If you decline our offer, we will promptly send back (mailed out within 5 business days) your shipment using registered mail, and fully insured. In this case, we will pay the return postage, but will not reimburse you for the shipping charges you paid to get your package to us. In this manner, you get a free appraisal, and we split the round-trip shipping charges.
If you have any questions about shipping or selling, please feel free to contact us.
I hope that we can be of service, and look forward to speaking with you. Have a great day!
Best Regards,
Jon R. Warren
