<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2346455, member: 19463"]My last delay of note was a Chelyabinsk meteorite from Russia postmarked the day after I paid and delivered unopened six weeks later. That is the one I wondered if they could x-ray and tell if it was not drugs or why it was not opened if it took so long. I'm sure they might wonder why anyone would mail a rock half way around the world but I'm the one that paid for it so I can't question their sanity either. The customs form was filled out accurately and clearly but in Russian so I don't know if they have someone there on a daily basis that reads other languages or if that is part of the problem. My only bad German experience was from Lanz and I swore off dealing with them since they refused to refund. I now have a Lanz coin in transit. I regret buying it now but its loss would probably be cheaper for me in the long run. Crossing them off my list permanently would be cheaper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
