+ZAteam Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Hmmm... I made a trade with lorcal.nl for her Trapgevel and it arrived yesterday, safe & sound... Seems odd that more folk have not yet gotten theirs. CF30 I think it's the method in which they were shipped... economy or whatever it's called. My mailer had definitely taken a beating to get here. The coins were shipped with "priority" mail, which was the recommended method for all international mail. Next option was registered mail, but that was a rather expensive option. Seeing that coins still arrived on Tuesday, lets hold on for a couple more days. Hopefully we'll see some more happy dance posts... Quote

I usually receive mailers from the netherlands within a week or less when they are shipped priority. Quote
+BVnLJ Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Neither have I .... here's to hoping they aren't lost Quote
+dhenninger Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Mine arrived today. It was not marked Priority, so i think it went via the slow route. Quote
+julia51:) Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 We're still waiting too, here in Maryland. Trying to stay positive! Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Mine arrived today. It was not marked Priority, so i think it went via the slow route. Yeah I went back and checked my mailer... 1,90 Euro isn't priority rate. Quote
+wilg Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Priority rates from NL to USA are: Outside Europe Priority 0 - 20 g. EUR 0,95 20 - 50 g. EUR 1,90 50 - 100 g. EUR 2,85 100 - 250 g. EUR 5,70 250 - 500 g. EUR 10,45 500 - 1000 g EUR 19,95 see TNT site (Wat kost het). FYI TNT post is not offering standard service anymore. Recently I have sent packages to the USA too and some of them came over in 5 days others took 4 weeks it is unpredictable at the moment. Quote
+BVnLJ Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Well I asked this morning at the post office if by chance they had a package there for me and was told no, and the mailman just delivered todays mail ...... it's still a no show Quote
+XiaDog Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Still waiting here in Mass, but another cacher nearby got his a week or so ago... Had hoped would have had the luck of the Irish yesterday, but no pot of gold here.... Quote
+gardengorilla Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 oh, wow! I hope those who haven't received their coins get them soon. It may be that they are held up at customs. I know the only package I have ever had opened here in Australia was a package from the Netherlands...don't lose hope yet! Believe me, they are worth the wait, absolutely stunning! Quote

+Six Little Spookies Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Thank you Sivota. Now we wait, and hope I'm somewhere where I can camp on the computer when the tweet comes! On the last sales, did they limit to one per person? Quote

+Voortrekkers Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Accordian and barrel organ essential to this dutch music genre? No, please People do have odd ideas about dutch music, and not only the music! The last coin will have a traditional cd player nowadays dutch dj's use (Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Eric E, Fedde Le Grand to name a few)... Edited April 2, 2011 by Voortrekkers Quote
+avroair Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 There was a twitter sign a month ago then nothing. Does anyone know when these are for sale. Quote
+Sivota Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Well,... the thought did occur to me that maybe the Twitter signs were an April fools joke Quote
+JackHoe Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Just received a tweet from DelftBlueCoin: 125 coins in a box (link to picture) Quote
+JackHoe Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 New tweet from DelftBlueCoin: We are working on a method to sell the 4th series in a more controled/manageable way. Prices will be the same like the 3rd series: €29,95 incl. worldwide shipment We may need to add the option for registered shipment to prevent US customers waiting for over 2 months (again) Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 We are working on a method to sell the 4th series in a more controled/manageable way. Suggest a LOTTERY drawing. Each geocacher that wants one has their name on a piece of paper. Then draw 125 names from all entries. That's pretty fair and certainly controlled. Paypal invoices can be sent to cachers whose name was drawn. Quote

I may be biased, but I think those with complete sets should get first crack at the last coin. Quote
+Voortrekkers Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I like that last idea. And then residents of Holland, well, born in The Netherlands, should be first in line!
