I also agree that smoothie should fix the shipping price + small premium in $->btc or ltc with a ticker.
And if you need extra charging you should do it in the coin price, not in the shipping price. Because that confuse the buyer and makes him angry.

But I'm still happy with the final price, and I love the idea. That's why I bought.

Holy crap, IAS, quit bitching so much. Yes it's true that smoothie "could" just drop the coins in an envelope with a stamp for less than a dollar, but he chose to offer them only with the highest security available for shipping, registered mail, which indeed does cost more than a cheap envelope with insurance. You think he should offer you choices for shipping, but maybe you should consider how much work he already has cut out for him, with two coins per person, he has between 500 and 1000 customers to ship to. You think, maybe he thought the simplicity of only offering one shipping option might help him process shipping faster than if he had to do 10 different types of shipping to hundreds of different addresses. And as far as being good to his customers, he is being good to you, by investing his time and money to provide YOU with a coin that you MIGHT want, and all you can do is complain and give him a hard time. This really isn't too complicated. He made the coins and is offering them to you, on his terms. If you don't like those terms or think he's unfair, then don't buy them, simple as that.

Smoothie please let me have the complainers orders, lol.  Give us first customers that bought from you have a crack at buying another pair if they don't all sell out.  The first ones I want for myself.  The others I would like for family...

Thanks for the replies, even the smart ass one. And, obviously I and others care since it's been brought up. Some sellers listen and respond to buyers needs. Helps out everyone.

All I'm saying is why not give a choice? It would be nice to say, hey, can I have it shipped for 12 bucks insured to $400? That sounds fair. And if you want to pay registered for 60, then choose so.

What is going to happen if the price of BTC goes to $30? Is he still going to charge .6 for shipping? I doubt it, so it's best to have the shipping charge fixed.

IAS

Lol,


https://www.casascius.com/ charges .50 btc for shipping no matter what you choose.  I believe these LTC silver rounds will become collector pieces much like Mike's coins.  I am an early adopter of LTC.  Smoothies prices are fair.  Move on if you are too much of a tight ass to buy them.  I want them.  Step aside.

Yes, let us know if/when you lift the 2 per person limit. Many of us are grateful for the product you're providing and are eager to get more!

Also, how many have you sold so far? Just curious.

Smoothie   How many coins are left?     This is something you should update the public on, and hopefully you should know this?

Just be fair smoothie. If you can ship a coin for $11 don't charge 4 times the price or 6 or whatever.

It is sort of ironic, these coins represent freedom from repressive systems... or so I thought....


He only wants to ship registered mail so people can't complain they never got it, even if they did. That costs more than $11.

This is used all the time to ship silver coins. It is insured to $400. If it is insured, isn't it essentially the same thing? If it wasn't wouldn't people just say I never got it and collect $$$?



I am shipping priority mail and also the coins come in a box (not an envelope). Try fitting a two coin leatherette case in an envelope.

To address the supply count left, I have sold roughly 1/3 of the total.

I may consider lifting the cap. Time will tell. The cap was to allow as many people to purchase them without a whale coming in and buying up my entire supply.

Stay tuned for updates.

Well don't go hog wild and allow unlimited orders. Smiley  

Give your loyal customers that have already ordered a chance to order another pair or two.  This way they stay evenly distributed and don't end up in the hands of a hoarder/scalper.  I think this is the perfect Christmas gift for family and I would really like a few more.

Cheers.

shipping costs are irrelevant when it comes to a product such as this. plus, we need to make the shipping/packaging as easy on smoothie as possible so he can get them out as fast as possible.

the goal is to get as many of these in hand as fast as possible before the next rocket launch.

46 LTC for a 10 LTC coin + $6 shipping cost and a $2 coin? Seems cheap Smiley

1/2 a troy oz of silver is not $2, more like $9.55 at spot (lowest value you could give the silver really).

Lets say to buy two coins in the US for 66LTC delivered.

You get 20LTC so actual cost is 46LTC.

You get $20 worth of silver (both coins) so thats 8LTC of the cost (38LTC now)

Lets just say shipping the products in the US costs another $20, thats another 8LTC (down to 30LTC)


So, basically you are paying the 30LTC for;
- A fancy box with certificates
- The time involved with designing the coin
- The time it takes to ship the product
- The costs of manufacturing the product
- Smoothies retirement fund

30LTC = $75 (or $37.50 per coin).

If you think $37.50 per coin is too much to pay above the value of the silver and LTC contained then by all means dont make an order. I personally decided I didn't want to pay this, but you dont hear me bitching and moaning to smoothie do you?

No. If you don't buy, a guy with a barcode tattooed in the back of his head will visit you at night.


On another note; I'm very excited to see these in person Smiley

Laws from country to country may vary and you should check what applies in your area.

Every country in this list ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states ) is currently exempt from the well known 'compulsory purchase and ownership of no less than one and no more than two lealana physical silver litecoin' act of 2013.
