    Did they say why? Is it both items or just the congratulations set?

    Argh.... Thanks for opening an old wound. :) I was on the mint's web site the instant those coins were available and could never get through the check out process without timing out. I subsequently spent a few weeks waking up early every day in the hopes of getting a coin but could never get past the time outs on the rare occasions coins were available. I ultimately got discouraged and gave up.

    Same here, to the letter...

    Yet they sold some this morning!!!!

    Did you call them? I wonder about the congratulations sets. They haven't shipped any, so how can they be out unless they are canceling them. But they shouldn't be out of both things. [Knock on wood] I'm still waiting on shipment of maybe 500 sets. So they sort of can't be out of those either. And all of my orders were placed on the 13th or later.

    I am truly sorry that this cancellation happened to you.
    There is NO excuse for the cc issues that you experienced.

  • ECHOESECHOES Posts: 2,974 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My order for one, placed on 02/17 shipped today...

    I'm really sorry for those of you who diligently placed orders for this Mint product, only to have them cancelled.....that makes no sense at all.

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,536 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It was a cc issue, then. Unfair to be sure, but a different issue than availability.

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,536 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I placed orders for 1 each on two separate days the week after the issue date. Got shipment notification on one of them today.

    placed order on 11-feb w card let's call 1234, saw on confirmation page they noted me as using card let's call 6666 - card 6666 is a card i did not enter in order page, tied to a bank acct I closed years ago, and which was not in my saved payments - the only way they could have resurrected that card was some ancient mint order I made - obv I called them immediately after seeing confirmation page, seconds after ordering, to raise issue - they [allegedly] relinked to card 1234 and that [should've] been that

    fast forward 15-feb, get an email that there is an issue w this order, and if I didn't contact mint in 48 hrs, it would be canceled - obv, called in seconds after receiving THAT email - they say my order is tied to card 6666 and that theyre having problems charging to it - we'll, of course they are, as I didn't enter it and it's a defunct card tied to a nonexistant bank acct - we """remedy""" the issue once again and am told my order would ship in 24-48 hrs - """all good"""

    fast forward to this morning, cancelation email, called them, they say they tried to put order through on card 6666 and it didn't work ..... 🔥🤬🔥

    end of call was 'we're gonna set up a supervisor callback' - I won't hold my breath...

    absolute nonsense. absolute. nonsense.

    Man that sucks.....did you update your account and delete your old payment cards?

  • MilesWaitsMilesWaits Posts: 5,349 ✭✭✭✭✭

    He did now! I went through a similar experience. Years ago, thankfully.

    nothing to update, no old cards in my saved payments - I'm telling you, this wasn't an issue on my end - completely on mints end - nothing in my acct or saved anything was set up to support these issues that popped up during this debacle - 1000% on the mint

    Excellent to hear and how about for the signed #1!?

    I just noticed the sealed box I have of one of these. I forgot all about it with everything happening the past year. I wonder what I should do with it..

    On Day 1 of sales...as I believe I noted previously on the board...the credit card details that autopopulated on the Mint sales page didn't even belong to my account (it fully populated somebody else's account details)! Fortunately, I spotted the error before submitting the order.

    However, after checking my account data, all my information was accurately pre-saved to my account.

    So I wouldn't trust anything the Mint says about cancellations due to errors on your part! Their system was glitchy that day...even by traditionally poor Mint web sales standards!

  • ɹoʇɔǝlloɔɹoʇɔǝlloɔ Posts: 1,436 ✭✭✭✭✭

    exactly, @RichR - obv not happy these cc issues happened, but thankful there was at least 1 other forum member who could relay the strangeness of cc issues on 11-feb - had never had something like this happen w mint and so incredibly frustrating that no one there [Texas call center] cares enough, or is able enough, to do anything about it

  • PeyroguyPeyroguy Posts: 100 ✭✭✭

    So now I wait for my coins to ship as the tracking # reveals it hasn't been picked up yet by the PO. It's like when you wait in the doctor's office to be seen, finally they bring you in to one if the exam rooms where you wait for another agonizing amount of time to be seen. What we need is Jeff Bezos to start running the mint.

    Nothing for me, if you don't already have them in the bag you have no shot, till the next time they pop. Crazy times we live in, when one can't even obtain a standard proof ASE for issue price.

    had 20 in my bag, fumbling with entering shipping info (slept in) and still got the order in. Just waiting for confirmation email. I somehow was able to add the 2021 ASE back in my bag too.

    Yep...I noticed the same thing and sent the mint an email about this....no response yet. They seem to be having a tough time lately. If we could only see what's happening behind the scenes...

    So, you are entitled to free budget shipping, but did not get it.

    Have you contacted the Mint?

    Edited to Add:
    FWIW, you are not alone. @Onastone appears to be having the same issue.

  • DotStoreDotStore Posts: 702 ✭✭✭✭

    Just call them after they start giving you the free shipping. They will credit the shipping that was charged after the 3rd order.

    Not exactly....

    It is automatic if you are a registered user and signed up for the Products and Promotions Updates.

    Everyone should get those emails anyway to stay informed. I don't know how many I get but it is not too bad (I just delete most based on the subject line).

    Another annoying issue re credit cards/payments with the Mint...has anyone else noticed that Paypal is usually disabled or missing as on option during the initial chaos on Day 1 of sales. I've noticed that during the past couple of hot issues.
