Quote from: minerjones on June 18, 2020, 01:41:21 PM you should tell them it is loaded with a digital cryptocurrency and see what they say...... I wouldn't tell that as Bitcoin is not yet accepted as a legal tender in my country, same as most other countries in the world Quote from: AT101ET on June 18, 2020, 01:50:02 PM I had a DHL Express shipment that was leaving the U.K. seized by customs. The parcel was correctly labelled, valued etc. Had I undervalued the package, the goods would have been forfeited (although they may not have looked at in in the first place if I’d disclosed a lower value). It took half a year and lots of legal correspondence to get my coins back. What do you mean under "coins" - physical Bitcoins or your cash? I've never had any package lost by DHL yet, but many were "lost" by the usual postal service (maybe it was the customs as the tracking stopped right on the country border or right before it).

Quote from: Room101 on June 18, 2020, 12:51:29 PM Quote from: Powered by SMF on June 18, 2020, 12:04:54 PM DHL are a customs broker themselves and have an agreement with some countries' customs, thus their packages are either inspected by DHL themselves, or never inspected at all, or inspected very thoroughly by the country's government customs. All these options do ensure that the package is never "lost" at customs office, and that's why I insist on DHL shipping only. The downside of DHL customs brokerage is - they always charge an import tax (even when a country's customs do not charge), and DHL's import tax is always higher than the government's customs (e.g. you will pay 20% import tax for an item shipped by DHL rather than 15% for usual postal service) Are you saying you have to pay a 20% tax on top of bitcoin? So a $10k Cas will cost $12k? It's just an example, the tax depends on item type and description (e.g. "flashlights" will be taxed 15% by the government / 17% by DHL, "sports equipment" will be taxed 35% by the government / 40% by DHL and so on) and on declared item price (e.g. 100 USD item will not be taxed by the government but will be taxed by DHL and so on). The physical Bitcoin is a "Books & Collectibles" category item which import tax is close to zero, also you could (and should ) declare its price as $1k instead of $10k.

Quote from: Room101 on June 18, 2020, 08:19:09 AM It usually works that buyer sends BTC to escrow like minerjones, then seller sends coin to minerjones ( not you). As soon as he receives coin from seller he forwards on the bitcoin ( minus 1%), and then forwards on the coin. No problem, this method is acceptable too. Quote from: Room101 on June 18, 2020, 08:19:09 AM EDIT: also note insurance is impossible on bitcoins, I use the above method to import into Australia frequently, but if it gets lost/ stolen in the mail after escrow forwards you the coin, you are shit out of luck, and will lose your bitcoin. You're a risky guy if you send $10'000 items via regular post I accept DHL courier service only!

Please note that the seller must accept a guarantor service, I will not send the money directly. i.e. I send money to a third party (trusted user on this forum) and seller sends the coin to me, once I confirm the delivery the third party sends the money to the seller. I will pay the fee for the guarantor service. For the safety I will record a video of receiving and opening the parcel, and inspecting the hologram. Also we could just have a personal meeting for the deal I live in South-East Asia, we could meet in some big hub like Singapore or Hong Kong airport.

I want to buy a Casascius coin, common one - not "error" or otherwise rare - because common ones are cheaper Please PM your offers. Considering the rarity and an additional shitcoin balance inside I think the adequate price should be about 1.2 BTC. Please do not PM if you want to sell 1 BTC coin for 1.5-2 BTC The coin must be in mint/new condition, however I could consider slightly damaged (not a peeled hologram of course )
