[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 8327757, member: 86815"]Your comment about jinxing delivery made me smile [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] I won several coins at the inaugural auction of Opisthodomos on Sunday, and paid their invoice yesterday. Monday was a public or bank holiday here but yesterday Biddr advised me they had been shipped! I was amazed that they had shipped the same day I had paid and guessed that as a new outfit they were out to impress! I was not impressed an hour later when the tracking details were sent and I learnt that they were in a Royal Mail holding depot on the way to the USA! I contacted them immediately and explained what they had done and that they had a tiny window for recovering them or they could spend several weeks in New York Customs with an invoice made out in British Pounds.. They acknowledged my email and apologised and this evening I had a text from Royal Mail to say they would be delivered tomorrow. What a relief! It will be interesting to see if anyone turns up on my doorstep tomorrow that I didn't win! If any USA bidder is advised their lots are going to Wales, you know where to find me :-) Here are a couple of the coins I successfully bid on and I am assuming, that like you. as they are now on the way from London I will see them.
