    I received the same email today too, I'm confused ?

  • dpooledpoole Posts: 5,940 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I did order my annual complement of 2019 ASE proofs for the grandkids' Xmas gifts for next year. I presumed that was the meaning of the Mint's message. Can't say why they'd count orders not for 2019 production and delivery.

    Maybe they like all of us!


    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    I had free shipping last year also.

    I got the same email. It has to be from subscriptions over the rest of the year. Unless I sleep ordered 3 separate items after midnight. Did I? Hmmmm Nah. Well...............?????????????????????

    I received that e-mail this A.M. as well.

    I 'd be pleased if I am already qualified for free shipping for the rest 2019, but I won't believe it until it actually happens.

    I'm waiting on the US Mint 10% bonus bucks.

    I also received this email. I'm waiting for someone more generous than me who also received the email to try it out and let me (and the rest of us) know if it's true. :)

    So, I just now bought a "D" mint roll of Jim Thorpes to see if I got free shipping.

    I did, not a problem! Free shipping!

    I would have bought a few rolls of Jim Thorpes sooner or later.

    The design isn't great, but it is passable. The fellow seems to me to be worthy of the commemorative honor.

    I got it too.

    No subscriptions here -- but got the Loyalty prize too --- seems to be valid in my dummy order...

    Got the email, too. So that basically means I have saved $14.85 in shipping for the first three 2019 orders. Now to figure out what three shipping purchases I need to make to realize this savings.

  • bsshog40bsshog40 Posts: 3,970 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The Mint givith, the Mint taketh away.

    I had a thread that may have gotten buried after I posted it new year's eve eve. I only paid $4.95 in shipping last year. It looks like I'll be paying $9.90 this year, since only one of my subs will occur before the Apollo commems...

    This is why you shouldn't press the "okay" button when you're hung over and can't think like a normal human...

    There went that... maybe a third email saying sorry for the sorry and give it back. Doubtful. LOL

  • OnastoneOnastone Posts: 4,153 ✭✭✭✭✭

    A third email stating the "free shipping program" has gone away due to repercussions of government shutdowns. :s:#:s

  • BigABigA Posts: 2,715 ✭✭✭✭

    Well I just placed two different orders (first of 2019) and both orders had the shipping fee removed. Guess they can't make up their mind....

    I have a feeling I will receive three “opps” emails from the mint for the three orders I put in today. At least my fourth and onward should be free. We shall see...

    Edit to add: All charges hit the CC and shipping still free. Maybe Monday there will be an adjustment.

  • privatecoinprivatecoin Posts: 3,646 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I got charged on an order today.
