US customs is checking outbound packages? Why do they care about what's leaving the country? Isn't their job to secure things coming in? So strange.

I’ve experienced this on several occasions with FedEx packages sent from Canada to Switzerland (care packages from my parents back home). FedEx routes everything through Memphis and in those cases, packages were opened (and several items were damaged, incl a handmade blanket on one occasion)) by overzealous U.S. customs agents. Recourse? None.

My parcels with Fedex have flown out of Oakland, CA via Honolulu, HI where they receive customs export clearance done there before hitting Sydney Australia.

Despite all my perceived grievances Im quite happy with the service and will continue to use them over USPS. A parcel arriving with chips, albeit a few damaged by customs is better than no chips showing up at all.

Picked these up in an auction, and gave them a very light oil. They are fantastic. Very pleased. Big fan of the bright white edge spots on the $5.

Cash set (I've already placed an order for more $1s and $5s)...

Don't forget to peel off that protective plastic wrap on the Sterling DB! It will look a lot better.

One here, but I think you'd need near face value to acquire, and it's different from above.

I've never seen a non-notched Regency $100 either, not even in a photo.

Yeah it's been up for months and months.

A long awaited add on …

… before and after a little bit of baby seal oil

Totally forgot. Thank you for the reminder.

 

[davislane]

Finally a package arrived that hasnt been opened by the prying hands of US or AUS customs officials!

Im so grateful it was this box that arrived untouched because I dont think I would have been as calm as I had been in my previous posts if they wanted to "test" these chips.

 

[louBdub]

It’s not everyday someone makes a set with your name on it, and then sends a gift sample your way!

Thx a ton @chipinla ! I love them, and that Biff chip is 100% my next games card capper!
