<p>[QUOTE="Myron, post: 427061, member: 2163"]I sent a US money order to one of the above companies to receive a set of old and new 2008 British circulating coins. I was led to believe that the coins were in stock and would be mailed-out as soon as they received payment. I knew something was wrong when after waiting for 2 weeks I never received my order. After contacting them in California, I was informed that they cashed-in the money order but the coins are not in stock and I should not expect delivery until mid-October, at the earliest. Had I been informed the coins were not in stock, I would have tried ordering from elsewhere. This is why I do as little ordering by mail as possible. On my last order of British coins from a different place, the coins came tarnished and spotted. It wasn't worth the aggravation of re-packing and sending back to Ontario, Canada to receive replacement coins. In the past, this has happened other times, too. Don't they inspect the coins before shipment or do they think the buyer won't notice that the coins are tarnished, spotted or the case has cracks? Nothing is as good as buying coins in person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
