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.
