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.

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.

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.

British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
BackyardBullion replied to Shinus73's topic in General Precious Metals
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. -
British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
BackyardBullion replied to Shinus73's topic in General Precious Metals
I don't have a screengrab of the original product release. BUT, I did copy and paste all the information on the first coin into my YouTube video description: The British Monarchs Collection is a revolutionary new coin series celebrating some of the most iconic kings and queens in British history. Naturally, such a landmark collection deserves a worthy introduction and there is arguably no better place to start than with one of the most famous regal families in British history – the House of Tudor. SPECIFICATION VALUE DENOMINATION £2 MAXIMUM COIN MINTAGE 1260 ALLOY 999 Fine Silver WEIGHT 31.21 g DIAMETER 38.61mm REVERSE DESIGNER Alexander of Bruchsal OBVERSE DESIGNER Jody Clark QUALITY Proof YEAR 2022 PURE METAL TYPE Silver EDGE Milled Beginning with the founder of the Tudor dynasty, the first coin in The British Monarchs Collection features a classic portrait of Henry VII as it would have appeared on the coinage of the time. As one of the most iconic kings in British history, this design provides a fascinating glimpse into the rarely seen coins of his reign, whilst also presenting a unique prospect for would-be collectors and history aficionados. As one of the oldest working mints in the world, we have produced coins for a plethora of regal dynasties throughout our 1,100-year history, including some of the most legendary monarchs to wear the crown. The British Monarchs Collection uniquely celebrates these iconic kings and queens by providing a numismatic snapshot of their reign through coin designs of yesteryear. Utilising genuine historical samples coupled with state-of-the-art technology and numismatic processes, our master craftspeople have faithfully recreated these classic designs just as they would have appeared during each monarch’s respective reign. This innovative, five-year series will feature 21 monarchs in total, featuring iconic kings and queens from four royal houses: Tudor, Stuart, Hanoverian and Windsor, formerly known as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Each year will see the launch of several new coins, released sequentially in January, March, June and September*. Whilst the designs remain true to the originals, the coins in this new collection are finished to Proof standard, which provides a clearly defined finish that accentuates the details and enhances the overall aesthetic of each one. Available struck in 999.9 gold or 999 fine silver, the first release in the range celebrates Henry VII. Featuring a Tudor design, it is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from one ounce to five-ounce editions. Here is also the original mint schedule too: -

Oh don't worry I will be holding them to task on this. Our voices won't be ignored. -

So, I can just about see a small scenario where if you can demonstrate you were collecting the whole run of a particular coin type you MIGHT get a return refund IF they were acting in good faith and practice. One off coins I think that is a much harder argument to make. The big IF here is that The Royal Mint would act in good faith and "do the right thing" and we all know just how much that is likely to happen. The good news is that my request for a return refund has not been declined yet. They ARE considering it (or so I am lead to believe).
