The postal employees are required to attempt diversion of these troublesome commodities, and often as my local postal employees will manually feel the package, and when applicable will attach appropriate notice, return for insufficient postage.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>I personally have decided to request refund of funds for lost coins, or excessive S/H fees above the inexpensive actual cost. Sellers of this caliber virtually never feel responsible, are generally indignant, and receive earned case contact from eBay/PayPal, negative feedback when unresponsive.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Rich </b>:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
