Please don't remove the country in it's entirety, leave a little bit left, so I can go there on vacation sometime.

Since I saw this issue pop up after having no order volume to the Czech Republic until a couple of weeks ago, the Czech Republic has been disabled entirely in our system. We remove any countries that are glaringly obvious, but with 244 countries and countless territories in service, as well as language barriers for many of them which makes research very difficult, it's nearly impossible to verify on our end which countries across the globe have a specific ban on the import of precious metals, hence the special International Orders page linked to from the footer on every page within our site.

Although technically correct, the latter implies a much longer time frame. Reminds me of the follow:
I had a deal with Coinabul. I have not free time just now to write some explanation, I will write it later. My apology for Coinabul.
! CONGRATULATIONS !

Even if he send back exactly in USD, this would still be around 1900 not 1600...
Coinabul is seemly asking for a scammer tag

Just send him back exactly what he sent you. What is difficult about this? The longer you wait the worse you look...
Hi all,
I've been emailing Petr on an almost daily for nearly 3 weeks now trying to work with him to find the best way to refund his purchase and shipping(USD or BTC) that would be most ideal. Unfortunately, this line of communication was sidelined; he has thusly missed a few opportunities to get BTC cheaply so I've generated a MTGOX-USD coupon which has been sent to him. This includes $1603 for the coin itself, $105 for the shipping which was never used, and $50 as a gift to help him get an ounce of gold in a way which will be viable given the import restrictions he's forced to deal with.
As far as the local laws for the Czech Republic:
"gold, silver, and platinum may be imported only by authorization of the State Bank."
"Import licenses and quantity restrictions are applicable for many articles sent to the Czech Republic. Therefore, senders should ascertain from the addressee before mailing whether the contents are permitted and whether the necessary documents are held."
That said, we could possibly have attempted to send his coin(depending on our legal team's viewpoint) but it would have never made it to his hands and insurance companies of any type have coverage exceptions for government seizures so realistically this is not an option - as is the case with ANY bullion dealer not located in the Czech Republic and licensed by the State Bank.
The Czech Republic has been removed from our site some time ago to prevent this issue in the future. As always, we ask that if you are ordering from outside the USA you check your local import restrictions to ensure that we can get your desired products to you safely. While many countries have readily available import / export information, some nations are difficult for us as outsiders to investigate due to language barriers and continually changing laws. If you do have import restriction information for us as a resident of another nation which will help us make your Bitcoin to metal experience smoother, we welcome your emails via contact[-at-]coinabul.com
Thanks for helping us iron out the kinks in global Bitcoin trade,
Jay

And Coinabul expected that we here in Bananastan have reasonable laws, which was huge mistake.
+1
As for reasonable laws, don't try your luck by entering Russia with an encrypted HD..
There is "zákon 235/2004 Sb. § 92" which defines investment gold and frees the investment gold from value added tax when sold in Czech republic, from EU to Czech republic and when iimporting from other states. There are no restrictions.
Such conditions should be equal in whole European Union, as far as I know.

Actually that's not absolutely correct. Gold is free from VAT in Czech, but for that reason there're many additional restrictions in trading and only registered companies are allowed to trade gold. I think this is the core of a problem, because I think this is a Czech speciality and these laws doesn't apply to whole EU. And Coinabul expected that we here in Bananastan have reasonable laws, which was huge mistake.
I think this is a simple case. Coinabul should either return the BTC or ship the coin. End of story. If they don't, they are not a trustworthy company.
From an ethical and business reputation standpoint, I think the right thing to do would be to refund the entire BTC balance (if they never sold the BTC) or refund the USD equivalent, shipping including, of the BTC at the time that the order was made (if they did sell the BTC). Just my opinion, but I would find either of these to be an acceptable resolution, and I believe OP would as well.
If a customer makes an order, and it can't be shipped for whatever reason, then you contact the customer immediately and come to an agreement, then public shitstorms like these will be avoided.
Did they ever had a reputation to shred?
Has anyone here saw the video that other scammer, JRO, posted when he had a quarrel with Jon from Coinabul?

Exactly. I made the order Feb 6. No confirmation was sent to me, until I asked for it at Feb 13. No mail was sent to me until Feb 27 when I asked for information again and it was told to me that the Krugerrand cannot be sent to me. Three weeks from order! "We will see, what we can do" was replied to me. After next urgencies at Mar 5 I was asked for other week of time. At the moment I believed that I lost all my money and my patience was over. No mercy to scammer. A day later it was offered me $1600 and I have to wait another 5 days for answer. Then I write to this forum.
As long as your side of the story is correct, then this behaviour is unacceptable. The best thing may maybe not to do anybusiness with Coinabul whatsoever. I've seen them coming on this forum with lengthy explanations too, that really doesn't hold water.

No matter what the origin country, precious metals are unable to be imported into his nation(see http://countries.bridgat.com/Czech_Republic_Import_Restrictions.html http://www.fedex.com/us/international/irc/profiles/irc_cz_profile.html http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ce_019.htm).
Are you saying that what Fedex has posted on their website is a lie?Fedex is not lying. Fedex is mistaken.

Cool. Then Coinabul should ship you the golds.

I don't think FedEx is really either lying or mistaken, they're just providing a summary. Essentially, they're just warning you that you need to check the actual regulations before you export precious metals to the Czech Republic.Quote
"An export license is also required when exporting toxic commodities, steel and steel products, precious metals, raw wood and wood products."

So, SgtSpike, isn't it pure incompetence, or maybe even malice, to put a shop online without having the care to check which countries can or can't they ship the products to?
PS: I administer a webshop and no way a customer who inserts a Country we don't ship to in his shipping address will be able to finish the order process, much less get to the payment page, because it will tell him: "Sorry, we don't ship to your country"

Just finished my shit, and the above in yellow is similar to what I wanted to pen but see that psy beat me to the punch--again!
On day-mother-fuckin'-one I would have researched and listed only countries I knew for sure that I could ship gold to provided I have a license to do such. If this nearly impossible task took me more than a day, than I better reconsider starting the endeavor in the first place (tense eff'ed up, but you get the gist).
