<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 4308124, member: 96898&quot;]Roma are not the only ones. About two weeks ago, I received this e-mail from Tauler y Fau concerning some coins I had won in their spring sale auction:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Due to the difficult situation we are going through, shipments will have to wait to be sent until the situation calms down. We will keep you informed when we make the shipment. Sorry for the inconvenience.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s a pity but I understand their situation and decision. Better to wait a little while and receive the coins in the end than to have them shipped now and possibly get lost in all the chaos.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least where I live, the postal service seems overwhelmed by the current situation. I had two non-coin parcels getting lost or misdelivered in the last month, and one package addressed to somebody else ended up at my place. (It went back into the mail with a note attached.) An antiquarian book I bought from a seller in Europe is still missing in action, and I wonder whether I&#039;ll ever get to see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were running a numismatic auction house, I wouldn&#039;t ship valuable items at this moment either...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
