Dear Vijayanand,
I am selling mainly gemstones in eBay from many years(from the time of Baazee.com) and not many courier accept gemstones and even if very few accept gemstones they do not have online tracking facility and POD from the courier are receive only after 30-45 days.
If eBay can tell me any such reputed courier who accept gemstones/jewelry and also can provide insurance for such high value items with prompt online tracking facility then I will be very thankful to eBay. Since you suggest to use reputed courier to send items, So that it may result into delightful buyer experience, You must also provide the solution of shipping the high value items like gemstones and jewelry.
Please note that sometime the parcels are delivered within 10 days but the POD are not available before 30-45 days and in some case the courier company are not able to provide POD, even if the buyer get the item.
Speed post is reliable and accepts gemstones and jewelry but it doesn’t provide perfect tracking details, Most of the parcel is just shown as booked but then no further information is provided their tracking website. Also the acknowledgment does not reach us half of the time even if we pay additional for it. But since no other courier (even the most reputed and expensive one) do not accept gemstones/jewelry, we are left with no option but to use Speed Post.
But when this new paisapay will come into force, some fraud buyer can take an advantage of such loop holes and claim their money back(even if he/she received the item).
The buyer then can enjoy with item as well as the money and seller will be helpless.
So, I am really not in position to take such a big risk.
I hope to receive a solution for this.
Best Regards,
Deep Agarwal.
