<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chaparralian, post: 8281687, member: 106333&quot;]Lost coins! It happened to me last year for the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought 3 coins from Zeus Numismatics through biddr. The auction was in June. By August I sent an email to Zeus about the delay. No response. Asked again a week later. Nothing. Then I sent an email to biddr and received a response saying they would contact Zeus. Zeus finally sent me a one line email month later in October, &quot;Have you received your post?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Ah, no.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I was pulling my hair out. Via tracking I finally found that the coins were stuck in San Francisco Customs. I called Customs there and talked with a wonderfully helpful woman for over 40 minutes who said they did not have anything describing my package. She said the US Post Office had it, but warned me that the USPS is a black hole and detailed exactly what USPS would say.</p><p><br /></p><p>USPS responded exactly how she said they would - they blamed customs. She told me to have the a USPS supervisor call her and she would try to help them get their collective heads out of their posteriors. At the end of the day, the USPS told me to write a lost and found letter to their center in Atlanta. I did. I&#039;ve never heard back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I eventually requested a full refund from PayPal, and received one in November.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately the three coins were pretty cheap and didn&#039;t fill important places in my collection. I purchased two of them just to have a couple variations of the she-wolf reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll never use Zeus Numismatics again, mostly because of their failure to communicate. And using the USPS to ship their coins from overseas? Not smart.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1462736[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
