+Kilted Cacher Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Sorry all, haven't looked here lately. The international coins were shipped out about 2 weeks ago. They were sent parcel post, which means it may take from 2-5 weeks to get them. Now before everyone starts to complain, that's the shipping rate. I could have them sent faster, but the postage would have been well over $5 for 5 coins. The coins are a 2" coin so they are heavier and cost a little more. Some people overseas have already received their coins, hopefully your coins arrive before Christmas, if not I do apologize for that delay, but the postal service can be fast or slow, especially at this time of year.

+Balla & Silly Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well, we paid $22 for 2 coins on october, 20. That's exactly two months ago now, we still don't have the coins and it's Christmas in a few days. The postage for sending them in a bubbled envelope would have been far less than $5 (usually $2,40, maybe a bit more because of the size). So we don't really understand why at least small orders of 1-2 coins couldn't be sent in a letter like all the other coins we purchased up to now. But nowadays we should be happy to get our coins at all, two traded coins are well over the time now and when we read about all the lost coins it's starting to get us worried and it puts us off the coin craze a bit (well, our bank account won't mind... ).

+Fundamental Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I also paid 22€ for two coins.. I hope they will be here before christmas or I will be quite sad Quote Link to comment

+Balla & Silly Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Still not seen these! I just don't understand why you had to use this d a m n parcel post??? I hope they arrive before christmas 2006! Parcel post is still cheaper than any letter. For us that's just making profit to the max on the back of the buyers. We are asking ourselves why we had to pay $5 for shipping and then our 2 coins got sent as a parcel? We also haven't got these coins yet and when we were talking about it on the New Year's Day Event ("Frozen Bone Cache Zone Run 2006 Event") another cacher said very annoyed that the coins still didn't arrive there as well. We wanted to give one of these coins away on that event as a gift. We are pretty annoyed now as well... Quote Link to comment
+team simpson Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 didn't receive these coins in the netherlands yet Quote Link to comment
+Kilted Cacher Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Well, the reason they were sent d a m n parcel post was because I didn't charge enough for it to be sent Priority. While it may have cost $5.00 to ship there is an additional cost of packaging and labeling. However, I think I may have fixed the problem for future coins, no more international sales. Now, that I got that out of my system, I would like to know who has not received their coins yet. I would like to get a check up on this situation and maybe try to resolve it the best way that I know. Quote Link to comment

Hope you dont mean to stop selling to us guys Bob Thanks. I did stop and talk to the post office about the shipping of the coins. They said that it could take up to 5 weeks, and sometimes a little more. I sent the international orders out around December 5th. That would make today exactly 5 weeks. Please give it another week and see what happens, if they have not come in by then, I will try to figure out what to do about this situation. One thing I have learned is that I will now only use Global Priority shipping and just charge the extra amount. This should fix any future coins. Quote Link to comment
+El_Rolfo Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi, today it was christmas time here in Germany! The coins arrived here and I have it in my hands. Great coins. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment
+team simpson Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 they arrived in the Netherlands today! They took some time, but they're beautiful, so it was worth the wait Thanks for the work, kilted cacher! Quote Link to comment
+Balla & Silly Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 We haven't got ours yet but we think it will only be a couple of days now. I wanted to edit our last post because I think it was a bit harsh but I can't find the edit button anymore...? Anyhow - we're still looking forward to these coins!

+-SuMa- Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 My coins arrived too. They are very nice. Thank you. best regards Marc Quote Link to comment
+Balla & Silly Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Our two coins arrived as well today, many thanks, they look really great! They were posted in a bubbled envelope as usual with $3,80 on it and stamped on DEC 02! That's 6 weeks shipping time and gives us hope for another coin that we traded and that hasn't arrived yet. We didn't know you paid so much when you said you sent the coins as a parcel, so we apologize for the "maximum profit" comment. Many regards, Balla & Silly Quote Link to comment
+Fundamental Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Still waiting in Finland.. our christmas tree is also still in the house I want to take picture with the coin The tree has start to grow already I think we will keep it till next christmas.. or not Quote Link to comment
+Albatross1901 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ... and this completes (?) the reports from Germany My two coins arrived January 11th having been posted in Catlettsburg, KY on December 2nd 2005. A great coin but Knut day passed already and no way to put it under the tree. Propose to start taking orders for the 2006 edition in June to ship it in September as otherwise the place under the Chrismas tree will be empty again. Cheers, Albatross1901 Quote Link to comment
+Fundamental Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Am I the only one who is still waiting these?

My wife is getting really mad about the christmas tree still being in our house.. but the tree is happy Look at it.. Mine arrived today in the UK so should be soon. We've already taken the tree down but will put it away for next years. Quote Link to comment
+Fundamental Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yes! They are here! We can get rid of the tree now Quote Link to comment
+Kilted Cacher Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I think now that all the coins have arrived. I did end up resending extra coins to a few people, who had theirs lost in the mail or the package arrived torn open with no coins. But now everyone who ordered has their coins. The next coins should be here soon and will be sent out promptly. As for the international orders, I will send them by global priority and just pay the extra for the shippng out of my pocket. This will eliminate the hassle of waiting so long to get the coins. Edited January 23, 2006 by Kilted Cacher Quote Link to comment
+Bambi&Thumper Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks KC, I know we were one of the last to receive our coins, but they arrived in the end and they were well worth the wait. Thanks, Bambi. Quote Link to comment
