[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8338169, member: 110350"]I'm still waiting for a coin from a German auction shipped to me on April 13, and a coin from a Spanish auction shipped to me on April 21 (itself a date almost two months after the auction took place, because it took that long for the export permit to be granted). There's no sign of either of them, and I'm beginning to think they're both lost, which would be remarkable bad luck. The German tracker says the package was given to US Customs on April 28, but the USPS tracker didn't record that event and still shows the package in Germany. I've filed a lost mail inquiry, but have heard nothing yet. The Spanish tracker shows no movement at all, and USPS apparently doesn't follow packages with tracking numbers from Spain -- unlike packages from the UK, France, Germany, and other European countries. Which makes the Spanish tracking number effectively useless. The auction house has filed a claim, but told me that it could be another two months before they hear anything. I'll be extremely unhappy if they're lost. Both are Roman Republican denarii I very much wanted.[/QUOTE]
