Sending coins to other countries...

[hassewiersma]

Hi,
you exactly do you guys sent coins? by post? private companies?

i have lost 1 package to germany a month ago, that really sucks...also 2 packages which where sent to me (1 finland, 1 spain) have got lost.

Not always the insurance covers it. even if you tell that there is something else in it.

Who you do think have to pay for the loss? the sender or the buyer?

Kind regards
Hasse

Hasse,

I think you should ask this question in the Ebay-forum.

But in short;

If you ask the buyer what he would like; by normal mail or by registerd mail, he can decide if he wants to take the risk.
If your buyer choose to take the risk of loss and chooses the cheaper normal mail; then its his risk.

Also in case the buyer decides for a cheaper mail you can't prove that you send it, while when sending it registerd you can a receipt.

So theres always a discussion between the seller and the buyer if NOT sending by registerd mail.

(zou je als handelaar/spammer van nieuwsgroepen toch moeten weten he)

That's rude

@Hasse
I think that everybody can mention a bad experience.
I have had a couple of bad experiences myself too. One, with a German coindealer, is still going.

And in the very first days I was very naive when sending money (Hello "coinman" !) and packages.
Use good quality "bubbeltjes" envelopes and send everything with registered mail and when it has a high value, use the respond-option form the PTT. (you will receive a postcard signed by the receiver that he has collect your package)

Good luck

Tja, in den vergangenen Jahren ist bei mir (bei über 1000 Sendungen) auch nichts weggekommen, doch dieses Jahr schon 4 mal.

an mich:

1. Paket mit 2 Rollensätzen Österreich
2. Einschreiben mit 35 Euro in Scheinen aus Belgien (wurde aus dem Umschlag geklaut)

von mir:

1. Luftpolsterbrief mit FDC Set Holland 2002 (nach Deutschland)
2. 5 Sätze Fremdprägungen Griechenland (nach Holland)

Macht insgesamt einen Verlust von ca. 350 Euro.

Erstattet wurde natürlich das verlorene Paket, da es versichert ist, aber bei den anderen kann man das vergessen.

I had the same problems one week ago, a finnish coin set has been stolen out of the envelope. I really wonder what people are working for german post. Insured parcel ("Colis valeur") from Switzerland to EU countries is extreme expensive (50 Swiss Franks), so i take the risk, if something gets lost i replace it.

If something like that happens again i stop trading on ebay, this is really not funny. Employees from german post open envelopes and rob 3,88 Euro, that is really ridicolous, it seems that german post pays very bad, i never heard something like that from swiss PTT.

one package from finland has lost completely, and anohter one had some stupid metal thin in it.

but I still don't know if i got ripped off or not, because that person who had sent is telling me the one story and then another one. today the dutch post called (i also did a claim) and they told me that the sender has never done a claim in finland !?!?!?!?!?!?! and i mailed to him, and suddenly he got the insurance money today, strange?

here is a picture of what was int he package that was openen:

kind regards,
Hasse

PS> those are the only 2 packages that got lost 'strange'....the otherone has been settled, i got new coins form the insurance money.

So, is it all that hard for people to believe me when I say that I lost over 12000 euro worth of coin in the mail system???? All of you together speaking hear, didn't send over 50% of my outgoing mail worth over 60000 euro in more than 4000 packages within 4 months!! Only if post was much much faster would I've found out what was happening sooner. In my case, what I've been sending out for a whole month simply didn't came through except a couple of packages sent from another PO.... Sending packages from another PO now and all problems are solved!!

BTW, I do have a few more packages to send some 50 or less worth some 3000-3500 euro.

Since it's summer and I business is lower, I can't promised exact delivery time or refund, but don't think I forgot about you people.

What is really embarassing here is that people who actively accused me as a lier and thief, still do so after they received their coins.... Makes people wonder!!!

In April 2002 many registered mails were stolen in Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. Among those were at least insured parcels which were sent from Finland to Holland, perhaps also other mails travelling via Schiphol. About one month ago the police found out the thieves were airport workers working in post service in Schiphol. I'm afraid those thieves were looking for nothing else but the Finnish coins!!!

If someone has sent you Finnish coins (via Amsterdam) on April and you never received them, perhaps your coins were stolen by this gang. It could be now possible to find those missing coins or get the reimbursement of your money. Please contact the sender or write to the Finnish Post : "jukka.skytta@posti.fi"
