<p>[QUOTE="Original Skin Coins, post: 24700770, member: 80261"]I did end up trying to purchase the surety bond, only for Fedex to tell me they needed the name and address and zip code of the "manufacturer" of those coins. Both I and the Kuenker shipping department tried to tell the Fedex associate that these were coins produced in 1800s Russia and that no address was available for the manufacturer.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the associate didn't care to listen/understand that these were antique items, and rejected our answers and sent the package back to Germany (at my expense), where it's now apparently been stuck in customs for the past two weeks. I've asked Kuenker how they intend to get this package to me, and they suggested sending it through Fedex again. But they said they will still need to include the full invoice list on the customs form, which will include the word "Russia" and I'm sure the package will end up getting flagged again. Very frustrating![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
