Are you able to declare the item for a lower value in the customs form? (International shipping)

We hope to have more auctions in the future. Of course, we'll have to see how this auction goes before committing to others.  ;)

Thanks for the bid. Good luck!

Thanks for the question.

It depends on the destination, but most of the time USPS (United States Postal Service) doesn't offer tracking for international destinations. You can track the package to the U.S. border using the customs form #, but beyond that it's a small fortune to get any kind of reliable tracking. As USPS explained it to me, they don't control the customs or postal systems of other countries, so after they deliver it to that country's customs department, they have no control over how they process / deliver it.

Once we have a winner, I'll check with USPS to see if that particular country offers some kind of tracking agreement. However, even if they don't, I've never lost an international package. And I'll always make absolute good on any lost or missing delivery.

In short, you'll never have to worry about receiving your new Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins! ;)

Regards, and happy bidding!

Cool! I want them shipped to India.
I've not received a heavy package as such before(am sure 62 coins must be around ~500 gms ??? ) , will custom be a problem?
Also other than the lots of 62 coins , are smaller packages of say 2 coins available ?
And these all 62 coins are same in design right ? If some else design is available , can i custom add it if i win ?
Also are these loadable with bitcoin or simple bitcoin show coins ???

I'll go 0.34, considering EU shipping is included :)

(Lithium):

If you prefer, you can simply buy a 2-Pack. Maybe a Short Roll too. PM me for the info.  :)

chronicsky:

The weight shouldn't be a problem. Customs cares more about contents and value than weight. I doubt they'd give weight a second thought.

And we sell each of these products separately, including our original 2-Pack. You can check them out on our website or at our forum sales listing.

There is only one design for our 2015 coins, but we will be listing our new Bitcoin Penny™ Loafer Keychains when I return to the office next week. If you're the winner, then I'm happy to wait on shipping until you see those. In case you want to add one to the package. They're super cool. 8)

And these are not loadable. Just very cool pocket bling.  ;D

dozerz:

Thanks for the bid! :)

jdebunt:

We are happy to post to EU. :)

Good luck, everyone!

Christopher

Less than 11 hours left! This is exciting! ;D

TookDk is leading. :)

And to clarify a question that I received earlier... The auction states it will end at 7PM EST (GMT -5). However, I forgot that we're actually in EDT (GMT -4) this time of year. So unless there is no objection, the auction will end at 7PM EDT (GMT-4).

Thank you, and good luck! ;D

No objections from here.

If you are in a position to do so, can you then post a warning when we are getting close, e.g. "6 hours left".

Absolutely! And if it helps, then I'll try to be fairly annoying about it -- 6 hours, 5 hours, 3 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes, etc.  ;D

(Hopefully the moderators won't mind.)

Good luck!
