US MInt & PO Box... & FedEx??

Last week my spouse coins went in process.... my bank account showed a pending debit.... my cancel box disappeared.

Then, the pending debit disappeared & the order page still shows "in process"....

My bank account has a PO Box as the address (so does the debit card)... so I listed the PO Box as the shipping address so I wouldn't have processing issues (my first time ordering from the mint). So, when I hear that FedEx is the delivery method.... does that mean I won't get shipment because FedEx doesn't deliver to a Post Office??

  • Have it sent to the FedEx service center in your area, and then have FedEx send you notification it is there. Then you gotta go and get the stuff from the FedEx center.

    Just call your local FEDEX service center and ask them to hold it for you to pickup. I doubt that you can have it sent there.

  • I think the Mint stopped processing of my order before it got to FedEx (presumably due to the PO Box?).
    As I said, the debit to my account was pending from the Mint... then it disappeared a day or two later & the money was never taken??

    Has anyone here received a spouse delivery to a PO Box?
  • If you shipping address is a P.O. Box, your order will be shipped by registered mail and can take up to two weeks to arrive.

    Oh lordy....... That stinks.

    (I had just spoke with FedEx, and they said if they received a parcel to be delivered to a PO Box, that they deliver to the Post Office main desk & it's up to the post office to contact the box holder for pick-up).

    The Mint won't ship Fedex to a P.O. BOX.

    It will be ship Registered Insure Mail, it could be 3 days to 3 weeks.

  • Does the mint offer a Delivery Confirmation/Registered number when shipping to a PO Box, or is it a guessing game of when to check your box?

    That is correct -- they will use Registered. You will likely get it within a week, but don't panic until, say, three weeks have passed.
  • The reason I "panicked" is because the Mint started to take the money.... and then didn't take it?? No matter how they ship - don't they get paid FIRST?
