Casascius coin reseller in Sweden and EU.

[DeaDTerra]

Just a small update (things are going quite a bit slower than I had hoped), but there's progress.

We agreed on an escrow provider (John K.) an set up a contract which is in the process of being signed by everyone.

DeadTerra said he wont be able to ship the coins to me this week, but said he'll be able to next week.

Nevertheless you managed to talk to me and sign the contract. Thanks!

Have fun partying. A swedish girl once shared a flat with me (and others). From what she told us midsummer in Sweden is crazy.

EDIT: oh, and I forgot: DeadTerra also sent me the order list. :-)

jalaman and I will contact everyone about a possible upgrade tomorrow via email.

I too would like to upgrade my order. Certificate looks fancy!

We just sent an email to everyone in the order list we received from DeadTerra about how to upgrade.

If anyone hasn't received that email (from casascius_order@0x0000.de), please let us know.

 Upgraded, Thanks. 

[HowGudAmI]

Upgraded both my coins just, thanks a bunch!

[dnaleor]

upgraded and ordered 2 additional  BTC coins, thanks

[molecular]

you guys are fucking awesome, thanks for upgrading and thanks for acting quickly.

9.5 hours after the email offering to upgrade coins, just over 50% of people have successfully (including payment) upgraded their coins (while it's only about 10% of the coins)

One person gave a tip of BTC 0.05. THANKS!!!

Just sent my payment for the capsule.
Sorry I couldn't upgrade with the certificate, guys. Really wish I could've done. :/

afaik DeadTerra has not shipped to us yet. According to agreement he has to ship on Jun 26th (tomorrow) or earlier.

I assume he will keep to the agreement.

I have checked the shipping and I am preparing the packages and the necessary documents.
Unless something goes wrong they should be shipped tomorrow morning

wonderful.

[dnaleor]

So I guess the shipping to the costumers is next week?

[molecular]

The probability for being able to ship this week is close to 0, yes. The likelyhood of the package arriving until thursday next week is very high (barring customs trouble, which is unlikely).

So yes, most likely next week.

Hey guys,

I have some bad news:

DeadTerra was unable to send the coins and will be travelling until Sunday.

We had a chat and he explained why he failed to send: he's been to three different places and each of the services told him either they couldn't insure a package with such high value or since the package contained coins, it couldn't be sent at all.

It is insane for such a civilized country with good infrastructure to have such a fucked up system...

I thought I hated banks but damn I think I hate the postal service even more.

I know this is rather unacceptable given the time you guys have already waited and I'm really sorry about this situation.

I believe he is well-intentioned and not trying to rip us off in any way.

DeadTerras plan now is to send the coins on Monday next week. If necessary he will split the coins into as many packages as necessary to remain below the insurance treshold. He will also talk to other shipping services.

We also investigated the option of me travelling to Sweden and picking the coins up at someones place he could've brought them to, but unfortunately flights are prohibitively expensive (€500+) and the drive is just too long (800 km one way).

It seems there's nothing I can do at this point.

There is of course the option for me to cancel the deal with DeadTerra at this point (he failed to ship today, which was part of the agreement), but I don't think this is going to help anyone.

Again, I'm really sorry, but it looks like the wait will now be even longer.

Unfortunately I don't have 1 BTC coins myself, otherwise we would've just supplied you guys from our stock in the meantime. If anyone is in dire need of 0.5 BTC coin(s) and willing to pay an extra 0.0875 BTC for additional shipping cost, we can offer to send 0.5 BTC coin(s) from our stock beforehand. (everyone on the list has ordered at least one 1 BTC coin)

EDIT: I'm also going to email this, just so you know you don't have to read it twice.

Brilliant. 

I can still wait but I need the coins to be in my hands on the 9th of July really.... what are my chances?

Pay extra shipping and you'll get the 50cBTC although not the 100cBTC ones.

[TheUntitled]

As much as I trust you and as much as I want the Casascius coin, I'm afraid I'm going to give one last chance.

I do understand the situation but it's getting rediculous.
So if the coins aren't sent to Molecular by next Monday, I'm going to request a refund.
