  1. Ascention islands.... Oh dear. So, I would have been super interested if this had been a mint with lost history that had been resurrected by the treasury as an alternative to the royal mint. But sadly it's just a modern mint (dime a dozen now) that is playing on the name and history. No CGT products. Bars are nice, but really shouldn't be more than £60 each.

  3. Just got giggles I thought I would screenshot the first comment on this thread back from 2015
  4. I honestly don't know. I had another package similar dely, tracking said it went to Bristol mail centre. When I quizzed my escallations lady about this she said it never actually went to Bristol, it was just a scan of a giant bag that had everything in it and then my parcel was put into a different bag to come to Southampton. They don't know their arses from their elbows. Also, "special" delivery - they have no idea where things are at any given time beyond it was checked in at a certain place and then checked out. Whilst "in transit" their answer to everything is, we don't know where it is and have to wait for its next scan. Total joke.
  5. At this point I also have to ask myself if King Charles is trolling me. Royal Mint And now Royal Mail
  6. Well, I hope not. Lovely country, I have family ties in NI and love coming over but I really don't want to go over and sort this out. I just want common sense to prevail and people to do their job correctly.
  7. Ha, thanks. I will publish the video on Sunday. Last year I spent £8000 on special delivery postage.
  8. Well, I have had communication from the escalations team that it has been sent to dangerous goods. So now it just goes in the black hole for 8-10 weeks. I can't even claim for the loss as it's not lost.
  9. No idea. One was last scanned at Edinburgh Mail Centre and I have now been told its on its way to Northern Ireland Dangerous Goods Centre. The other one was last scanned at Stanstead Air Hub and then got that Dangerous Goods designation.
  10. Please feel free. I will be doing a video this weekend going into a lot more detail on this whole stupid situation. I have basically no recourse but to wait for their ineptitude to resolve itself. Remember this is all amongst the backdrop of the massive price hikes of special delivery, 70%+ on some packages.
  11. Thanks, I have already emailed a bunch of people at the CEO office and have had a reply from one person today. I am hoping common sense will prevail and someone will help.
  12. I have one for certain and possibly up to two more £2500 value packages being sent to Northern Ireland for an 8-10 week stay at the dangerous goods centre. Long story short, silver being sent to and from Edinburgh Assay Office. The packages got there all OK, no delays. Coming back to me, they get pulled out by the Civil Aviation Authority and normally this would then go through the road network. This did not happen. What I have been told is that the sorting centre/CAA people check it once, if unsure they put it to one side to look at again. If they still cant work it out, off to Ireland it goes. Their turnaround is 8-10 weeks to check these packages. Totally c**p. Royal Mail, putting the special back into special delivery.
  13. Why Do I Think NOW is the Perfect Time to Stack and Invest in SILVER and NOT Gold...?

  15. I Think I am DONE...We Need To Talk About The Royal Mint!
  16. You're not wrong, but that doesn't mean the mint will care enough to refund customers. Another question is that a few of these in recent auction results are actually achieving above issue price. Some, definitely not making money and go under issue price...Others are making a little money assuming you sell with a sellers fee offer and don't get scammed! To clarify, these screenshots are of sold listings on ebay, not just buy it now's unsold.
