[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 6801663, member: 80952"]I think I must consider myself happy for the last package that spent 2 weeks with FedEx! (1500 km from Munchen to my location). Certainly not a big delay but I was starting to think it's lost, since FedEx never had 2 weeks transit time. My worst experience was also with a package from Germany sent with DHL. Took 28 days. For 3 weeks it was lost and it suddenly appeared in a town away from the normal route, with the comment "slightly damaged". It contained some banknotes from a gentleman I bought a lot of modern coins and notes from + some surprises he added including an excellent album. The item was not damaged at all, I think it was their excuse for the delay, I confirmed with the gentleman that the box was exactly like he sent including his original duct tape. This was one of the coins in the last 2 weeks shipment, I like this one very much [ATTACH=full]1272183[/ATTACH] Divus Lucius Verus AD 169. Rome Denarius AR 18 mm., 2,70 g. RIC III Marcus Aurelius 596B; RSC 55, BMC 503 Date: AD 169 Obverse Legend: DIVVS VERVS Type: Head of Lucius Verus, bare, right Reverse Legend: CONSECRATIO Type: Funeral pyre in four tiers, adorned with statues and garlands, quadriga on top[/QUOTE]
