Dear all,
German Post (Deutsche Post) decided to discontinue the product I currently use for sending coins internationally by end of June ("Warenpost International").
The replacement I will have to use from July 01 will more than double my costs of sending, at least to destinations outside the European Union. Within the European Union it will only be slightly more expensive and no big issue.
This will mean, in the future I will limit my swapping activities mainly to the EU and will do swaps with friends from outside the EU in special cases only, e.g. if I am highly interested in specific coins. This also, as it seems that the folks at customs became quite nasty in the last year which is also no issue within the EU.
And this leads me to the point: If anyone from outside the EU would be up for a swap, lets try to do it within the next three weeks… :-)
(But I need to say that in many cases I will have to reject, as I do not find anything I need - but of course we can try).
Best wishes from Germany!
