Title: two Constans coins lost in the mail...finally arrived
Post by: Victor on January 11, 2021, 09:48:33 AM

I won these two in October and they were mailed from Germany; but seem to have been swallowed up by the postal system. I haven't given up all hope, as it has only been two and a half months.


both coins arrived after only three months!

I'm getting similar issued with mail. I've still got 2, out of at least a dozen that got held up for months, that have yet to arrive. Both were sent around the same tiime, end of November/start of December & were the first to be affected by the covid-back-up. Have you had any others hey stuck &, if so, what was the longest they took to arrive? Thanks

Hello Luke and welcome aboard.

I have had several lengthy delays, mostly from Germany; but my longest was a coin I mailed to Sweden that took 7 months 3 weeks to arrive. So, don't give up hope yet.

Swedish mail isn't what it used to be, unfortunately. Still, one should never give up hope -- I received a coin today that was sent from Italy 13 months ago, which must be some kind of record.

Wow...13 months has to be some kind of a record.

Here's another record: you sent me a coin last week and it reached Swedish customs within three days. Hopefully I will get it before Christmas ...

3 days is pretty quick. Hopefully it does not sit in customs for too long.
