Nothing; I think they just got lost. One set of cards from Siam ca. 1920s sent by a seller in the UK via their version of registered mail disappeared in the customs section of the USPS in NY. Another group of cards from Argentina disappeared too. Not sure where in the chain. Both were irreplaceable. I got my $$ back on paypal claims but I'd rather have had the cards. The UK seller's mistake was sending them registered; that's the only problem I've ever had with a purchase from the UK. I've had cards coming from Venezuela take over a month to clear customs but they got here eventually.
