+imoutnabout Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Received the last 3 coins I've been waiting for. I've been in the hospital for the last week, so I'm not sure when they arrived, but they helped make my homecoming a happy one I haven't received confirmation of receipt from avroair, but I believe all coins I sent have arrived at their new homes. Thanks to everyone for playing and to Chuck for hosting once again. I'll try to post photos of my new treasures once I feel a little stronger. THANKS! And finally...the photos! Just a note, though: The Flying Pigeon coin in the Manhattan Urban Cachers series did not come from this math trade. Since I had that one, I was excited to add the other 3 coins in the series. Thanks again to all who participated. Quote Link to comment
+pingos Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Another 5 weeks have passed but still no sign of the geocoins (ATLANTAGAL)3X (LAVAL K-9)4X (THE MOOP ALONG)1X (STEBEN6)3X Got several other geocoins in the meantime. Looks like the mathtrade geocoins are definitely lost in the mail. 8 weeks further and no geocoins Quote Link to comment

+steben6 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have duplicates of two of the three coins I sent you. I will send them out again! I will also email you my trade list so you can pick another one to replace the third one for which I don't have a spare. Look for an email. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Wow, you guys are way too generous. I don't plan on replacing anything. If it were 1 isolated missing package, maybe I'd agree it was lost and consider replacements. But 4 packages sent around the same time? That's a customs red flag if I ever saw one, and certainly no fault of the sender(s). Quote Link to comment
+pingos Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Imoutnabout, Yanagi and Steben6: Thanks for your kind replies ! Very much appreciated. Of course it is not my intention to make any of you pay for the mistakes that must have been made by USPS, Post NL or customs. When after 2 weeks none of the missing coins showed up I was already afraid they probably would never arrive..... I have tried at Post NL if they could help me but their answer was clear: “normal” mail without track/trace-codes can not be tracked at all. I guess none of you have shipped the coins with a trackingcode but if you have any, please let me know ! The missing coins are following: AtlantaGal: wolf pack harvest moon as glow AtlantaGal: Cache Dragon Crazy teen neon AtlantaGal: Indian inlay s Steben6: wolfpack gcf denver Steben6: Earth turtle Nutella Steben6: GCF colrado welcome event 2012 Laval K-9: Avalanche 2010 Not Trackable Laval K-9: Avalanche 2011 Not Trackable Laval K-9: Midwest Geobash 2012 Laval K-9: Geo sniffing as The Moop Along: Illegal Alien not trackable To AtlantagaL: I understand what you are saying but I do not agree that others are “way too generous”. All of us share the same hobby, all of us do this for our own pleasure and of course if something goes wrong we all try to help each other. So if you do not share this opinion that’s just fine. For all a Happy Easter. Loves, Marjon Quote Link to comment
+mamoreb Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Pingos has been very kind and helpful in the past, so I would also like to help out. I don't have the crazy teen version, but I have the other versions of the cache dragon coin. If any of those would work as a replacement, I'd be happy to send it to you. Quote Link to comment
+yanagi Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I would help with the Wolfpack GCF Denver if necessary. Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Before making a decision, I'll wait a bit longer if you don't mind pingos I'm still thinking they'll show up. Had a coin, mailed in November, take about 3.5 months! It arrived the day after I issued a refund. Quote Link to comment

Had a coin, mailed in November, take about 3.5 months! It arrived the day after I issued a refund. If at least one of those packages could show up, it would give us all hope I remember trading 4 coins with someone in Europe a long time ago. I received my coins and he did not. He even asked to wait a very long time before I decided to send him an other package. While he was waiting for the second package, his neighbour showed up with the mail he's been holding a while back for him while he was away on vacation forgeting to bring it to him earlier. You guessed it, my package was among the letters. He sent me 4 more coins and everyone was happy with that trade Quote Link to comment
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I received my last coin and I believe all my coins have been received. Thanks to E&Cplus3 and all who participated. Here's my loot..... Quote Link to comment
+Laval K-9 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Now that pingos is back from vacation, I am sending her 2 coins since she never received the first package I sent her. I sort of cut the pear in two since the original trade was 4 coins. She seems happy with the coins I am sending her. Let's hope that she will receive this mailer or I'll take the plane and deliver them myself next time Quote Link to comment

I'll start a thread for the 10th International Mathtrade in a few weeks. Oh, and I'm outside the US myself. I was a bit hesitant to sign on due to possible postal rates. But, the opportunity to secure desirable coins outweighed that consideration. What the heck, everything is rising rapidly and postage isn't going down anytime soon. Coin prices are rising just about as rapidly. $9 and 10 coins shot to 12.99 and now with a few 'add-on' elements we're seeing some at $15+. If I let 'rising prices' stop me, I wouldn't have a car to drive, no gas IN the car and no food on the table. Looking forward to a few more US folks entering as well, but the flip side of the coin is that Euro coiners get a lot of coins that we here in the States do not, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment
