Receiving Your BCW Freight Shipment

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Ted Litvan

Large BCW wholesale orders normally ship on pallets via freight carriers, a service often called LTL (Less Than Truckload). These shipments travel with other freight and may be handled multiple times during transit.

BCW works hard to protect your order before it leaves our warehouse. We carefully stack products on pallets, offset cartons away from pallet edges, and securely wrap each shipment to reduce the risk of damage.

While issues during transit are not common, they can happen. The good news is BCW has you covered—we typically replace damaged items or issue credit when problems are properly reported.

The best way to make sure everything is handled quickly and correctly is to inspect your shipment before signing for delivery.

What’s the Best Way to Store Your Coin Collection?

Posted on November 17, 2025 by Reema

If you’ve spent time and passion building your coin collection, you know how important proper storage is. Whether you’re preserving rare finds, or selling to other collectors, your coins deserve protection that lasts.

At BCW Supplies, we help collectors safeguard what they love. From trading cards to comics to coins, our storage solutions are trusted by collectors and retailers alike for over 40 years.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the best coin storage methods, help you choose the right coin holders for collectors, and show how to keep your coins organized, secure, and display-ready.

Why Coin Storage Matters

Coins are small pieces of history, but without the right protection, they can tarnish, scratch, or lose value. Handling coins with bare hands or storing them in non-archival containers can expose them to moisture, air, and contaminants.

The goal of good coin storage is simple:

Prevent physical damage (scratches, dents, wear)
Minimize environmental exposure
Keep your collection organized and easy to view

BCW Plans a 2021 Move to a Larger Warehouse

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Ted Litvan

BCW Supplies, a manufacturer of products to protect, store, and display collectibles, is moving its headquarters to a larger facility. BCW currently has two warehouses in Anderson, Indiana. The main warehouse and office is on 31st Street, and the second warehouse on North Broadway is a former supermarket. BCW has been growing steadily over the past few years, and increased product demand during the pandemic made the need for a larger warehouse a necessity. During 2021, BCW will be shifting operations from the Anderson facilities to an existing warehouse eight miles to the east. The new headquarters will be at 8984 State Road 236 in Middletown. This Middletown site was previously a Down Lite pillow factory, and the Liebhardt Woolen Mills before that. With a strong work force, Anderson has been an excellent home to BCW since the company was founded 40 years ago. The tough decision to move was based upon the perfect fit with the available Middletown facility.

The Middletown community can expect BCW Supplies to be a good neighbor. BCW normally works a traditional business week, with a few large trucks coming and going throughout the day. BCW employs 50 members currently, and expects to grow with the larger headquarters. Job opportunities are listed on the BCW page as they become available.
