<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 8198688, member: 86815"]As a consideration, [USER=77960]@Rich Beale[/USER]'s comment is a good one. Savoca have held some lower value coins back for me on a couple of occasions where a single purchase was not viable to ship and my main bids were not realised. My worst experiences have been with UPS who are a nightmare if anything goes wrong as you simply cannot deal with anyone because of automated services. </p><p>Another pitfall is the mention of the dreaded word "Silver" on any documentation as UK customs simply assume it is modern bullion and slap on a 20% import tax on the full value. I ask my vendors not to mention this. Brevity is best and "collectable coin" covers every angle legitimately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
