Harry G Posted November 30, 2022 · Member Posted November 30, 2022 Hi all Did anyone else buy anything from Numismad auction 5? It was on the 12th November, and I'm a bit concerned they haven't marked my coins as dispatched yet, and was wondering if they normally take a while to post. I sent Numismad an email on the 19th, and they replied quickly saying that it would be posted that week (but it hasn't). Any thoughts? Many thanks! Quote
Benefactor robinjojo Posted November 30, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Posted November 30, 2022 I haven't purchased any coins from them. It seems that they are based in Poland. There could be shipping delays there, as there are generally in Germany. 1 Quote
Prieure de Sion Posted November 30, 2022 · Member Posted November 30, 2022 In a earlier auction I won some lots - it will take a while - but I got the coins without any problems. 2 Quote
AncientOne Posted November 30, 2022 · Member Posted November 30, 2022 I won nine coins. My package is in customs and will probably be there for a couple of weeks. 1 Quote
zadie Posted December 1, 2022 · Member Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I've bought from them before, no issues to report. I'd suggest you wait a few more days or simply contact them again directly and ask the current status of your purchase. Edited December 1, 2022 by zadie 1 Quote
Harry G Posted December 6, 2022 · Member Author Posted December 6, 2022 Still haven't heard anything - they haven't responded to my emails. I'm a bit concerned as I paid through Wise, which doesn't offer buyer protection Quote

Harry G Posted December 8, 2022 · Member Author Posted December 8, 2022 Just got a tracking number! ... from Bucephalus? Apparently. I haven't ordered anything from them before, so I can only assume that the package is from Numismad Quote

Numismad and Bucephalus accidentally listed the same coin a few weeks back, prompting biddr to get involved. I'm fairly certain at this point that they're owned and operated by the same people 1 1 Quote

Interestingly, the package seems to be coming from Belgium (where Bucephalus is located), rather than Poland (where Numismad supposedly is). I can't say for certain this package is from Numismad, though, although it seems logical given that I'm not expecting anything else! The estimated delivery date is tomorrow, but that seems unlikely given that it's still in Belgium! Will update this post if it is the coins from Numismad. 1 Quote

My purchases with Numismad have always come from Poland: 1 Quote
Harry G Posted December 9, 2022 · Member Author Posted December 9, 2022 Surprisingly, the coins did arrive today! (The day after posting), and it is indeed (mostly) the lots I ordered from Numismad. It looks like they mixed up one of the small groups I bought (I paid 26EUR for a lot of antoninianii and got a 70EUR lot of Byzantine folles!) Will reach out to them and see what they want to do 1 1 Quote

ambr0zie Posted December 9, 2022 · Member Posted December 9, 2022 So, 1. delayed shipping and they replied to your email stating they will ship the next day and they didn't. 2. you participate in an auction and receive coins from another house (at least technically) 3. they managed to mix the lots. For me, this is enough information to avoid both the houses mentioned. 3 Quote
