[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 7671408, member: 110226"]Ordering coins from overseas is very much like playing the roulette wheel. I've had shipments from Germany take over a month, while another, from Italy took about ten days. Shipping method and shipping service is important, of course. For a while Deutsche Post reserved the option to ship mail by surface. I don't know if they are still exercising that option, now that travel is opening up. Side note: Beware of Netherlands Customs. I sent a gift over there in April, by Priority Mal International. I must have messed up on the customs declaration form because they opened the package and are now demanding that a tax needs to be paid by the addressee. For the Netherlands, there is only a €45 maximum that can be declared for a gift declaration. Above that amount, a tax must be paid. It's quite a mess now. Between this situation and my issue with US Customs at JFK (The Twilight Zone) regarding the Yemeni coin, this is already an interesting year for me, which I hope never happens again.[/QUOTE]
