<p>[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 3697666, member: 90666"]It's all over the place. Within a week is the most usual but two to three weeks is normal in some environment especially European auctions. So long as I get an acknowledgement of my purchase within a week, I usually give them a couple weeks grace from the point I send the payment. One might wish it is faster, but no point wishing what you can't get. Also depends in auction size. I can imagine when an auction house has a 2000 lot auction, it takes some time to reconcile a thousand or more different payments and sort and check and package the physical coins. Then there's postage time, and possibly customs delays etc. I tend to get antsy if I haven't received coins 3 weeks after paying.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins have waited 2000 years for you. So long as I'm sure I won the lot I don't mind waiting a few weeks to get hold of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
