Anxiously Awaiting...

I'm waiting for a very nice Severus II follis which I bought last Wednesday. It was shipped last Friday but so far has not shown up yet in the mail. What do you guys and gals do when awaiting a shipment to arrive? I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs until I get it.

Buy more coins of course.

 

Try to convince the older coins that nothing can happen and the little one will be arriving safe and sound very soon, because they all look a bit anxious

Q

 

start thinking about when was the last time I tipped my mail carrier

 

I want to call in sick at work until it shows up but can't -_-.

 

I wouldn't be able to collect those. I'd be redeeming them as soon as I get them!

 

Where is it coming from? Anything I purchase from outside of US/Canada and I'll give it at least 1.5 to 2 weeks for arrival from time of shipping.

 

I usually spend the waiting-time entering the shipped coins into my database so that there are tags anticipating their arrival. I often research the coins and dig for provenances in my catalogue library while I'm at it.

 

Tracking a coin purchase is almost a hobby unto itself. Enjoy the chase!

 

From Manitoba, Canada. My experience from the UK has been about 10 business days so far, and I live on the west coast of the U.S.

 

I actually didn't get a tracking number from the seller, so I am not engaged in my usual 3x per day tracking exercise!
