Hi all,

I've been emailing Petr on an almost daily for nearly 3 weeks now trying to work with him to find the best way to refund his purchase and shipping(USD or BTC) that would be most ideal. Unfortunately, this line of communication was sidelined; he has thusly missed a few opportunities to get BTC cheaply so I've generated a MTGOX-USD coupon which has been sent to him. This includes $1603 for the coin itself, $105 for the shipping which was never used, and $50 as a gift to help him get an ounce of gold in a way which will be viable given the import restrictions he's forced to deal with.

As far as the local laws for the Czech Republic:
"gold, silver, and platinum may be imported only by authorization of the State Bank."
"Import licenses and quantity restrictions are applicable for many articles sent to the Czech Republic. Therefore, senders should ascertain from the addressee before mailing whether the contents are permitted and whether the necessary documents are held."

That said, we could possibly have attempted to send his coin(depending on our legal team's viewpoint) but it would have never made it to his hands and insurance companies of any type have coverage exceptions for government seizures so realistically this is not an option - as is the case with ANY bullion dealer not located in the Czech Republic and licensed by the State Bank.

The Czech Republic has been removed from our site some time ago to prevent this issue in the future. As always, we ask that if you are ordering from outside the USA you check your local import restrictions to ensure that we can get your desired products to you safely. While many countries have readily available import / export information, some nations are difficult for us as outsiders to investigate due to language barriers and continually changing laws. If you do have import restriction information for us as a resident of another nation which will help us make your Bitcoin to metal experience smoother, we welcome your emails via contact[-at-]coinabul.com

Thanks for helping us iron out the kinks in global Bitcoin trade,
Jay
