+Sunrayers Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I sure hope so- just checked my Paypal statement and I paid for these back on November 12th- ONCE AGAIN too late to do anything if they DON'T arrive (I'll never learn) Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Sunrayers, I don't think you have anything to worry about Folks on this side of the pond have been receiving them, yours will be there soon, it just takes a little longer to go over to you guys. People here in Sweden, where mail is known for taking only one day to be delivered on average, started to receive theirs last Friday, mine came on Monday, so just wait patiently and this beauty will be there before you know it. Motocycleboi is very trustworthy! Naomi Quote Link to comment

Motocycleboi is very trustworthy! Naomi That's good to know. We here in Switzerland have to fight often that we are mixed up with Swaziland. They even have an own post office over there just to collect those parcels and letters and send them to Switzerland. I was getting worried that something like this occured but now I relax and just wait Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 One other thing, Tuesday, January 6th, is a holiday here, so no mail that day, which can also cause a delay And here I thought folks just confused Sweden and Switzerland! I had no idea about Swaziland, too Naomi Quote Link to comment

I had no idea about Swaziland, too Naomi oh, yes, thats indeed another confusion. Whenever I am abroad and talk to people I have to explain them that Switzerland is not Sweden But as I like Sweden very much I am still a bit proud that they think that I live in this beautiful country. Fortunately, there is no confusion concerning mail. Quote Link to comment

It's just that "Stuff" happens and since I paid for these over 45 days ago, I'll be SOL if something should go wrong. I've got some coins coming from other sellers and have the same concerns. I'm SURE everything will work out, just a little "gun shy" now that an extra dollar (or SEK) is a little harder to come by Quote Link to comment

It really stinks that a few bad apples have messed up things for the everyone else. It really saddens and disappoints me that it has happened this way. I know you'll be really pleased when you get yours, they are lovely coins! Naom Quote Link to comment
+die_anita Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Mine arrived today. Great coins!!! Very beautiful. They've been held up at customs. They've opened the parcel but did not find anything so everything was ok. Quote Link to comment
+BVnLJ Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just got mine out of the mailbox. These are GREAT coins ~ especially like the satin silver One was in two pieces but my husband was able to put it back together, never noticed spring pins before on a coin. As always ... beautiful coins and fast delivery. Thank you BVnLJ Quote Link to comment

I made a trade for the colour ones, but just had to go look at the foggies - and went and bought three. Motorcycleboi - you need to stop making such gorgeous coins! Quote Link to comment
+JohnMac56 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I too got mine in the mail today and they really look fantastic! I do have a slight problem with one of them though. One of my antique silver coins is missing one of the pins that hold the center piece in place!!! Motocycleboi, what do I need to do to get this one repaired/replaced??? Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We placed a order for the Bewitched geocoins SG03-4 or SG03-5 and still have not received them and was wondering if they are on their way? Just wanted a update. Quote Link to comment
+snowball's-keepers Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Sorry I did not post a picture with my first post. In part I was getting wisked off to do family things and in part I think they just do not do the coin justice! I was pleasantly surprised how much better I think the coins look than even the pics do!!! The contrast in the colors and the detail in the work. My daughter and I just drooled over them for quite a while . Very nice work Edited January 13, 2009 by snowball's-keepers Quote Link to comment

Check the bubble wrapping and the area where you opened the package for the missing pin. The spring pin is Very small. I have ordered spare pins from the mint. When I get them I will send one to you if you don't find yours. Quote Link to comment

Check the bubble wrapping and the area where you opened the package for the missing pin. The spring pin is Very small. I have ordered spare pins from the mint. When I get them I will send one to you if you don't find yours. I checked through the bubble wrap and all around the area where I opened them and saw no pin anywhere. I noticed that the center of the coin was offset before I even took it out of its individual bubble wrap, so I was very careful when I opened that particular coin. Looks like the mint accidentally missed one pin on this one coin. So, yes, please send me a pin as soon as you receive them... Quote Link to comment

+kmmlynch Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I got mine yesterday, they are very pretty. I'm glad I decided to add on a colored one before they shipped, I think its my favorite. I say think because I'm still admiring them. The first one I unwrapped the pin was missing but I finally found it. I will watch to see if anyone sets one out and how it holds up. It seems a little fragile. Do I remember that you might come up with some things to add on the little loops? Any hints what you have in mind? Congrats on a beautiful coin. Now I hope to see a birka in person someday. Karen Quote Link to comment

Yes, we are thinking of add-ons for the coin. We just have to rattle up some chains and stuff. A Pimp My Coin kind of thing Congrats on a beautiful coin. Now I hope to see a birka in person someday. Thank you! We are in the process of doing some new Birkas. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment
MotoCycleBoi Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Nuthin- Sorry to hear that. But there's not much I can do. Shipping from Sweden to USA takes time. Some Birka coins once took seven weeks to get to USA. Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 No Bewitched coins here yet. They should show up any day now tho. CF30 Quote Link to comment
+Sunrayers Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 They are here and they are Beautiful!! Well worth the wait I wasn't aware that they hadn't shipped until Dec. 30th, probably wouldn't have been so "antsy" 2 Weeks is perfectly reasonable! Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 All three of my coins arrived this afternoon complete with their pins, however one of the pins is very weak and another needs replacement... Antique Gold + Gold + Color .......... perfect condition Silver + Foggy Silver .......... perfect condition but one pin is weak Antique Silver .......... one good pin & one bad pin All three coins are absolutely beautiful.
