Now shipping worldwide.  Its a little more expensive than the specific countries listed because we just took an average from a few far away countries to come up with the cost.  Otherwise we would have to enter every single country individually and that would take forever.  If you have been looking for a while but we didn't have shipping available to your destination, now is your chance!  If we start to see lots of orders coming in from specific countries I will go back in and add that country manually to help bring costs down.  Thanks, and happy ordering!

I am sorry for that.  When I get busy I have my shipping manager send these from time to time and I don't know what happened. I don't believe he has sent a coin overseas before yours.  I did speak with him before we even went live and we had decided on 2.00 and an HS Code that would not incur customs charges.  Shoot me an email at 3kingsltc @ gmail . com and I will fix this for you!  Once again sorry for the tax, we had originally set this up to avoid this situation.

I was just wondering, why on the customs form is the price of the coin marked at a higher cost than what it sells for on your site?
I was taxed a hefty amount because the postage label said the coin was valued at $25.
On your site the coin sells for $15 (which would be exempt from UK tax had that been marked on the label).
However, since the label read that the coin value was $25, I was taxed for more than the price of buying a new coin... (Roughly $18).

I really don't understand the point of doing that. It's extremely unprofessional to say the least!

Yes your steps are correct.  When you go to bitaddress.org the bitcoin address ("SHARE" in green) is the public address.  You can give that alpha numeric string of letters and numbers, or the QR Code to anyone you wish to receive bitcoin payment from.  The private key ("SECRET" in red) is the key you need to keep secure.  Print that string of letters/numbers out and cut it out.  Fold the paper in half or thirds so that the the print is on the inside of the folds (you dont want the label to stick to the print but it doesnt matter if it sticks to the white part of the paper).  Place that on the back of the coin and place the label over top.  The idea behind the tamper evident "VOID" is just for piece of mind.  If your roommate peeled it off he would not be able to put it back on without you knowing.

You can send as many bitcoins as many times as you want to that public key.  There are many ways to redeem the bitcoins when you are ready too, too many to list here (its pretty easy though).  You would simply remove the label and enter the private key into whatever wallet or app you are using for your bitcoins (a few more steps are required but its different for each app/wallet).

I probably made it more confusing that it really is.

If you are new to bitcoin in general and are in need of a bitcoin wallet, I would google or ask around on this site.  I am probably not the best one to give advice there.  I'm still using the good ol fashioned bitcoin qt wallet, lol.

The cards are just business cards, with QR codes directing to our website =)

Yay, thanks for the contest
And I already receive my coin now Smiley
But I don't really understand how this works.. I read your faq but it's still hard to understand Smiley
So I receive:
1. Coin
2. A sticker, I believe you call this tamper evidence label?
3. Some card..

So, I don't really understand..
First, I create address at bitaddress.org right?
Then after I create it, I print both the address and the secret key?
Then after I print them, I share my address and fold the secret key and put it at the back side of the coin? After I fold it I secure it with the sticker?
Is that it?
Then, how can I withdraw my bitcoin?
What's the function of "void" word when the tamper evidence label pull out?
What's the card that I receive functional for?
Thanks Smiley

I'll wait for OP to confirm, but it seems like all your stages are correct. Once you share your public address, people can send you some BTC. Nobody can access the BTC without the private key that you stick under the tamper evident sticker.
When you want to redeem the wallet, simply peel the sticker and then enter the private key on either a Bitcoin client or online wallet such as blockchain.
If you'd want to reuse the coin again for cold storage, you'd need to follow the steps from the beginning but you may need to buy some more stickers as once it's been peeled the sticker can no longer be stuck on.

The void function shows people that the coin has been redeemed. Once the back is peeled, you can see that either you or someone else peeled the sticker and has accessed the private key.
