[QUOTE="Anthorn, post: 1444893, member: 38072"]I live in United Kingdom and I buy Roosevelt Dimes almost exclusively from U.S. sellers because they're either not available in U.K. and the E.U. or they are priced ridiculously high. So if a collector is determined to collect U.S. coins they are likely to pay the shipping costs. The service I'll pay for is U.S.P.S. First Class Mail International and I never buy from a U.S. seller who insists on Priority Mail because it's not necessary. British Customs and Royal Mail occasionally have their moments with packages from U.S.A. taking up to 2 weeks but the average is substantially less than that. A Littleton album I ordered on a Tuesday and dispatched on a Wednesday was delivered on Saturday of the same week and Dime coins typically take 5 - 7 working days. I don't know whether this is just unique to me but those packages which are the quickest are those which have an online postage paid label. In supplies, I think U.S. sellers come unstuck when trying to sell albums and folders to U.K. buyers: We can get Whitman coin folders and sometimes albums from Amazon U.K. but Littleton and Dansco are nowhere![/QUOTE]
