Today I Received.....

If you're the recipient, though, then whoever you bought the coins from is responsible for the loss and should be doing all the impossible hermes-chasing for you...

Are you implying that the Shanghai Super Lucky Sniny Star Coin and Pet Food Manufacturing Company don't take their responsibilities seriously...

Correct. Because when you email them they would been liquidated or been taken over by Shanghai Not so lucky polish a turd and Dung Trumpet Manufacturing company. Ever watched the Film docu the china hustle or theres new muscial devoted to Arianna Grandes chinese cousin called Evergrande! She sings about her property portfolio, the musical score was written by a well known guy called charles ponzi

It would be brilliant if the culprit walked into your showroom and tried to sell you your own fake coins!

Yes, one of our family said that.

They probably think they have got something of high value. 😎

I send up to 50 parcels a week via Hermes and in 3 years I've had 3 go missing which they gave me the money back for. I've had far more problems with other companies including royal mail. 

Call them rather than using there online service. I've always found there customer service to be ok. 

Thanks,

I can see they have a support number for senders (who are paying them), but sounds as if recipients are regarded as plebs!

You know that the 0 number in this tracking number H00S0A0018849515 is the number zero and not the letter O dont you, when I put that number into the Hermes website it works and says it has been delivered. I appreciate that it does not help you though with the loss of your coins, sorry about that, they are good looking coins, the fake ones you have been getting, very interesting posts on them...

Thanks.

Yes I managed to further after about 6 attempts, then got:

"I'm sorry your parcel was delivered damaged. We would suggest that you contact your retailer Win01 to arrange any refunds/replacements and they will raise this with us directly" (Denying that stolen are missing contents could be a possibility.)

Sure, in about a month!

I got a coin delivered late by the Royal Mail, they put it in another little plastic envelope that said sorry on it. I thought that it was very sweet, the coin was basically not worth very much, just a couple of pounds, I guess they were so busy over the Bank Holiday weekend a while ago that they lost it, or had not enough people to deliver things.

Anyway, it turned up a couple of weeks later in the sorry envelope, which I thought was very sweet of them. To atleast acknowledge that they know they had made a mistake was quite sweet anyway. It said something like sorry your item was damaged (it was not, just late) if you want to make a claim for compensation then please do so, here is the number to call (I didn't because it was not damaged, and it is not worth anything really) but I thought that them saying sorry and atleast acknowledging that they had made a mistake, or were too busy to deliver it was very good of them, they could have just put it through my letterbox late and said nothing 😇

Yes, I agree, that's nice, it does happen sometimes.

It reminds me of two stories. The first one is true:

Years ago, one of my sisters and her husband did some touring in Sweden. While there, they posted a post card, to themselves I think.

About 10 years later it got delivered, with a delightful covering letter rom the Swedish post, explaining they had posted it an obsolete letter box, which should have been sealed. They apologised for the delay, and enclosed a stack of Swedish commemorative stamps well in excess of the original postage.

The second story was about the grumpy old git, who wrote a sob story to Father Christmas, blaming everyone but himself for his problems and his dire financial circumstances, stating that he needed £100 desperately to see him through to Christmas without starving to death.  Someone at the sorting office opened it, they all had a whip round, raised £50, and sent it with the local postman the next day. The old git wrote back saying thank you Father Christmas, but would you believe those thieving bastards at the post office nicked half of the money.

The postie just delivered a greyhound. It does have a scratch by the 10 but otherwise perfect.

I eventually gave up trying to source a fully proof set of these 2oz. beauties. Still glad I picked the set up though, a very stunning range from Pheli Mint (they're also very reasonably priced I feel), who are currently teasing another release in the not-too-distant future.

 

I also regret to announce that I have already met the same fate as @Gordy and have lost the entire set in a terribly unfortunate boating accident. While the pictures don't do them justice, they are the only memories I now have of them.

 Nice. Is it identical on both sides of the Christmas decoration / medal?

Before mine got dunk at sea i claimed them as my favourite set and they have multiple purpose.... they are made of silver... they are a good size, the design is brill and you can use these instead of the razzle or penthouse... better than readers wives anyday!!!! i might even be buried with them (if i can salvage them from the bottom of the sea of course)

Yes, the sketch is me, but twenty years ago!

The Una and the Lion Christmas Tree decoration is from the Royal Mint.  I did set up a thread on this Forum on this topic.

Currently both the silver and gold plated varieties are back in stock but shipping is mid-November:

I am not aware of Una as a Christmas fairy, but now you have given the Royal Mint the idea...
