Milo's Casino Cash chips (1 Viewer)

Maybe this is their way of discouraging cross-border shopping.

I am going to assume that BGinGA listed it for it's full value for insurance/Customs paperwork, which would have been just over $300.00 USD. Hoping they arrive tomorrow, but at this point, the only concern I have is that they show up undamaged by the inspection process . . . I have this horrible image of some CBSA wog asking for a Sharpie so they can "mark" the chips they've inspected. Please God, no . . .

LOL . . . USPS reports that Customs was done with my shipment at 8:33 p.m. Sunday night (14th).
USPS reports that my shipment "arrived at Post Office" at 5:42 a.m. this morning (16th).

The Customs section is in the same building as the "Post Office".

Ha, you think that you have problems.

I'm in the UK. My purchase from the Chiproom Black Friday sale arrived in the UK on 8 Dec. I thought that it was just taking time to clear UK customs but the USPS tracking update says that the package has now arrived in Honolulu (16 Dec) and is currently in transit to its destination.:::

You win . . .

I don't really want to win, I would prefer the chips. I hope its just an incorrect update but fear that the package will never arrive and the chipes are lost

As Moses said to Pharoah . . . let my chippies, GO !!! I just received my chips. They never even opened the package, so I am unsure why they bothered, other so than that they could ding me for a few bucks in Customs charges . . . Asshats.

Pics will have to wait until tomorrow night, as Tuesdays are darts night. Tomorrow . . . Pr0n.


final word is this. These chips could have survived a bombing. They were packed solid, so kudos to BGinGA for that. I also appreciate the boxes, as they will come in handy for storing other items once these beauties get racked.

Glad to hear they finally made it, and unscathed. A day and a half to move an unopened package within a building is pretty ridiculous. Possibly worse is just sitting on it for six days, doing nothing. Is Customs really that busy?

In any case, I absolutely detest receiving damaged chips, and I go out of my way to ensure (to the best of my ability) that nobody that receives chips from me gets any damaged ones, either. Some things shipping-related are out of my control (like dishonest/inept postal workers, customs), but providing more than adequate packaging/packing isn't one of them.

Anyway....saga over, pr0n required. I've seen these chips (obv), but look forward to your pics of the entire compiled set.

 

[Milo013]

Busy? Probably. Government paycheck is more likely . . . Don't worry about the pics, I already have the unwrapping ones done. Now I just need to put the set together at home and start clicking away. Stay tuned.

Mint Empress chips, and they are not going anywhere. Sorry.

Eventually I will have mint chips throughout the set but, for now, I am done.

I figured as much.
