I originally tried to pre-order my Endeavor proofs from Dios.  Reading all of this I feel like I dodged a bullet.  When I placed my order I got 3 different "confirmation" emails from 2 different addresses all basically saying I would get additional instructions soon and listing various potential payment options- lots of red flags.  Then I got a final email that the order wouldn't be filled as they had run out of stock.  Thankfully I never actually paid him, the whole thing seemed super shady.

I will say that while DHL is my last choice of carriers usually, I have never had major issues yet.  I'm in the US and have ordered and also shipped a good deal of coins from overseas, including Germany, fairly regularly from large and small dealers and to this point have not had issues with customs in Germany or any other country.  I suppose it's always a risk, but with so many people reporting similar experiences, the "colorful" emails, and several people receiving the same German coin book that mysteriously weighs the same as their coins did, it's pretty clear who is to blame. 

There is no way I can bring myself to believe that so many thefts are happening in customs in so many places just to this one shipper, who conveniently is the only one who can file a claim, let alone that so many customs thieves happen to stock pile those books, apparently.

Love the idea of a YouTube expose if @BackyardBullion or anyone follow up with that.  Please feel free to send the links and I'll be glad to share them around and spread the word.

Good luck to everyone that lost out from this guy, I truly hope justice is done.

Ordered mine!
