'Daisy' from the support chat wasn't really helpful. I didn't get any answers from 'her' and she redirected me to [email protected]. I sent them an email I guess now we just wait
We can send the coins back since their ToS allows refunds:
The shitty part is that the shipping fees don't get refunded

What is this??
I have asked about this before and no answer.....
This is horrible.
I just placed an extremely LARGE order and I don't think anyone will pay a 4BTC tax... this is insane.

Your estimated VAT's would be 4.99 BTC ($2,679.64).
Oh, that's very bad, it will be a very expensive coin. I was waiting to know if anyone have some problems with customs before ordering one Btcc coin.
Looking at this mess, I'm out.
I cannot afford to pay such taxes on customs for a token like that.
And here in India they will charge double to what sardokan stated above.
Sorry to say but I cannot buy a loaded coin like that. If someone wants to sell an unloaded one after they have peeled the sticker can offer me a price through pm. I am looking forward to minerjones for this though

I've sent him a PM. Hopefully he'll reply soon
For custom. I have the sad answer. They were marqued with a value of 600€.
The coin arrive tomorow and fedex called me to warn me I'll have to pay 185€ of VAT.
That's a pity. I should have paid VAT only on the token. As Bitcoin is VAT exempt in europe.
That's really a bad mistake to not having put details.
VAT exempt bitcoin
+ x€ box and token. Subject to VAT.
@bobby. Can you change this and do something for me ?
My order is 1050.
Don't know if you can call fedex or refund me a little something?

If that is true I'm sending it back. The total value isn't even 600 euros :/
That is really a shame, minerjones asked about the import fees above.
Good luck to those trying to get an answer about returns in time.

I'll give an update about the customs.

I need to step up my game, really beautiful piece. I'm considering purchasing one. Great job!
This is a really cool idea,will for sure look into buying a few in the fall after you get some good reviews back.
Like the idea of the bitcoin not being circulated either,it appeals to me having something physical like this and they look pretty awesome.
Could use them at live poker games,well maybe not a good idea to have that much sitting on the table.
Might be a idea to have 1/4 and 1/2 coins.

Indeed! If you play poker with them, you'll be glad to find out that these were designed to be the same size as the "large-style" 43mm casino/poker chips!

. We are proud to announce our latest offering from BTCC Mint, a new physical bitcoin made of Titanium. It’s a large 43 mm coin, containing 1 BTC, which is newly mined from our mining pool.
Some of you might like this... (if you are indeed the serious collectors!)
We had a technical error over the weekend, where we mined 2 blocks in very quick succession, and that resulted in the same coins being funded TWICE! Normally, this doesn't happen, even if we do mine 2 successive blocks in succession.
We're calling these "twins". :-)
They were mined in these two successive blocks:
413,851 - https://blockchain.info/tx/3fa343fdb02e28ea8e7205499a692cfe810d9751aa85ecd16e02a40c8340214e
413,852 - https://blockchain.info/tx/5b9a7ee3e9c44f9385a82c910a8ece7db25a9b2ae0c41ee36dc042dabf94863e
There are exactly 25 coins in this batch, and this situation is quite RARE!
Even if we tried, we can't guarantee producing "twins" as it requires us mining two successive blocks, one right after the other.
In fact, we've mined other successive blocks in many other cases, and yet it doesn't result in twins. (For example, no twins in these successive blocks: 413,942 & 413,943, as well as blocks 414,025 & 414,026)
Like all good things, there's a slight premium for this batch of 25 coins:
1 BTC premium, on top of the 2 BTC bitcoin value. Total price is 3 BTC.
The coin still says "One Bitcoin", and it'll come in a nice black leather box.
Go here and get it now, before the general public finds out:

Enjoy this little treat! The early bird gets the worm! :-)

Call me naive, why would coins be double funded by some rare occurance of blocks found one after the other.
Excellent question. I didn't do a good job explaining it earlier:
When we mine new bitcoins into the physical coin addresses, it's not quite as simple as funding it like others do. The traditional way would only involve making a bitcoin payment, and there's no risk of accidental double funding.
In our case, with the mining pool funding new coins, we actually spread out the work to our 175+ PH/s of miners, for them to mine the next block into the set of 25 coins. (You can see this in the blockchain record.) In the normal case, whenever we successfully mine a block (and thus fund a coin), we reissue new instructions to all of our miners, for them to update the destination address, to now fund a different set of 25 coins.
However, when we find successive blocks very fast, in rare cases, we don't update the miners quickly enough, and they go ahead and find a new block, but deliver the coins to the same set of addresses, which had just been found, seconds or minutes earlier. In that case, we now have twins. The same 25 addresses now have been funded twice, by accident.
Rather than destroying the coins (by peeling sticker and redeeming the BTC value), we're making these special editions available for you to collect.
Like I said earlier, it takes a special mix of factors for this to happen. We routinely mine consecutive blocks, sometimes even 3 in a row. However, it's very rare that the instructions don't get propagated fast enough, where an address gets funded twice.
And with bitcoin, we can't recall the payment! :-)

Bobby
