The Royal Mint provides really good shipping service. They sent the set to my PO box which I much appreciated and there was no problems with customs. I can't say the same when I was getting coins from dealers abroad.
My friend ordered two of the regular proof sovereigns, and they were here in like a few days it was unreal!
