<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 8162519, member: 91461&quot;]I have purchased from this firm before and been overall happy with the results...until now, though not necessarily their fault.</p><p>My order from December 5th (which was paid same day via Wise) has been stuck in Polish customs for over a month (since December 9th)!</p><p>I reached out to them back in late December and asked if there was a reason why my package had been stuck in customs for the last 2 weeks.</p><p>To which, to their credit, they replied the next day stating:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Dear Ryan,</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve checked your shipment details.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your package appears at Polish customs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I contacted FedEx regarding this issue and told me</p><p><br /></p><p>*****************************************************************</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Shipment detained under the control of the Customs Office&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>*****************************************************************</p><p><br /></p><p>Polish customs control the packages too long and keep them waiting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We have forwarded all the necessary documents requested from us to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And we are waiting just like you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please contact FedEx soon.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your understanding</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks&amp;Regards</p><p><br /></p><p><b>ENES YALCIN</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>DEMOS AC SPZ O.

I have purchased from them before a couple of times and had no issue.</p><p>What gives customs??</p><p>Ironically, I had a friend from Eastern Europe send me a gift that just got sent back by US customs!</p><p>It seems to me that customs wants Demos to provide something that they cannot provide or else something that they have received but question. Though if that is the case then why hasn&#039;t it been an issue before?</p><p>As well, if they have supplied customs with the documentation being requested and my coins still sit idol what are the chances that I end up getting them?</p><p>Not sure I have any other course of action than to wait and offer sacrifice for the gods favor. If I had paid via Paypal I could get that money refunded if the items do not arrive. But as is, I am sitting here in limbo...</p><p><br /></p><p>To add insult to injury I will share how AWESOME this package is. Nothing mind boggling expensive (thank Zeus) but some really fun stuff!</p><p>I really like the detail on him and think Augustus looks like Dennis the Menace on this one.
