[QUOTE="sand, post: 8188601, member: 118540"]I live in the USA. I've been ordering ancient coins from the USA, Canada, England, and Europe, for the past 3 years. Almost all of the coins have arrived, within 3 weeks. However, there is one coin, which I ordered from France, which was shipped via La Poste on November 17, which has still not arrived. The tracking just says "Your shipment has been handed over to La Poste by the sender." The tracking has been saying that, since November 17. Whenever I've ordered a coin, I've always gotten a package. But this coin may be the first, for which I get nothing. I've been collecting ancients for 3 years. During that time, I've had 2 orders, in which I received the wrong coin. I had 1 order, in which the envelope was empty, except for the invoice. I've had some orders, in which the seller never sent a tracking number, and never told me that they shipped the coin. And, sometimes, the tracking seems to "lose track" of the package, and then suddenly the coin appears in my mail box. All of this, means that, whenever I order a coin, I always wonder, if I'll actually get the coin. The suspense, gets on my nerves, sometimes. But 97% of the time, I get the coin. Oh well. I'd really prefer to buy coins at coin shows. But, I never seem to have the time, to go to any coin shows, that have a decent selection of ancient coins. I can only imagine, how nice it must be, to go to a coin show like NYINC, which has a large selection of ancient coins.[/QUOTE]
