Hopefully we get them today, can't wait to see them

I hope so as well.........

All coins (apart from one shipment that I was asked to delay) were sent on Thursday. I was unfortunately very busy on Wednesday and missed the postman...

They will arrive in the UK by 1pm (I used Special Delivery). They should arrive in Europe within 3-5 days and 5-7 in the US.

Thank you everybody for trusting in me! I would much appreciate if you could leave a Trust rating once you receive your coin(s).

did you already asked to fund them?

there is in fact a reason why waiting could be usefull:

I will create a 'certificate' for this coin (like molecular does by scanning them, SHA the file and send a small transaction to the linked adress) to proof the existence of the coin at a certain date.
This was originally usefull to show it's not a counterfit.

But recently, the casacius tamper proof seal has been hacked (not yet the silver one, but maybe it's possible in the future)
When I can do the scan before the coin is funded, I can garantee an owner in the future that this coin is legit and not tampered with (when you tamper with a coin, it's almost impossible to leave no mark at all. But it's only possible if you compare the coin to a high resolution scan)

These white packaging-boxes are looking interesting too... (at least to me)

I think it doesn't really matter much.
You received the coins, so for casascius everything is settled. I suppose he will not take responsability for a lost package when you send them out.

edit: I think I'll need to buy an pair of gloves. I have the bad habit of touching my silver. But I want to keep this silver bitcoin in mint condition

You're probably right. I'll send him an e-mail tomorrow and ask him to fund the coins. There will be some insurance for all posting services.

I haven't paid anything yet, the package was delivered straight to my desk. However, FedEx seem to have the habit of sending customs clearance invoices a few days later, especially when delivery address is a business one (which it was in this case). Had this happen to me once before. So let's see in a few days time.

The parcel was valued at $520 which is $20 per ozt. VAT at 20% should come to $104 or $4 / 0.04BTC per ozt. Even if FedEx charge 5% customs clearance fee (like somebody mentioned to me in a PM), that would only add $26 or exactly $1 per ozt

By the way, the coins have not been funded yet. Should I ask Casascius to fund them right away or would it be a good idea to wait a few days after posting for them to be delivered to you?

You received the coins, so for casascius everything is settled. I suppose he will not take responsability for a lost package when you send them out.
You could off course ask him to wait a few days and when they don't arrive, ask him if he will not fund a certain coin.
But I read somewhere that he funds every coin anyway. He doesn't want unfunded coins 'in the wild'...
(funding at a later moment is purely for customs reasons)

By the way... talking about customs...
How much did you need to pay?
