My brother was in the Navy, I've had co-workers in various branches. I've heard stories.
My expectation is that the same thing happens, but the "little people" don't get to send CEO equivalents mail about how crappy the work is getting done, demand it get fixed asap, and have it considered "the American Way."

My email:
To Whom it may concern:
I placed an order for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin on 1/22/09 at approx. 12:30 PM Eastern time. After over a month of delays, being told that the coin would ship to me first on 1/28, then 2/6, then 2/11, then 2/20 - I still have no confirmation that my order has shipped. According to the US mint web site, it states that "Orders will be processed on a first-in, first-out basis." I am now finding out that people who placed orders well after I did, sometimes several days after, have already received their coins. Why is the first-in, first-out process not being followed?

I am very sorry for the poor customer service on this matter. I have forwarded your note to the appropriate colleagues at Pitney Bowes. Again, please accept my apologies for this customer service problem.

This isn't the person to talk to. I just got a email from him or a no/reply mail and it's the same courtesy reply as above. It's a waist of time folks.
The thing that make most sense in explaining this lack of FIFO is that orders were processed up to a certain point erroneously and those will have to be corrected by going back into the computer system in a time consuming effort. ONce the glitch was caught it was easier just to go ahead and get the orders out the door that had not been caught in computer glitchland which explains why the earliest orders are still stuck but those ordered later in the day or even the next day have been able to be released. In support of this theory are the letters that many of us received telling us that our credit card address did not match our shipping address when it obviously did. Something went haywire in the computers and this has becoome a time consuming ITech problem that requires time to sort out and correct. Another item in support of this theory is the fact that the tracking feature became inoperable - again a computer related issue. >>
Additional evidence in support of the above. The Pitney Bowes Fulfillment Center's own website advises that their Fulfillment Centers are FULLY AUTOMATED! This suggests that when the shipping of the original orders got interrupted it is requiring reprogramming as implied above.

Saying "Dear XYZ, I recently ordered a UHR, and received many emails with ship dates. All of which passed without anything actually being sent. I am concerned that the Mint's new shipping service may lose or otherwise delay my coin indefinitely. I have a number of friends who are in the same boat.

I will be more than happy to disseminate this information to my friends, as well as some numismatic message boards, etc, etc. Sincerely, yadda yadda" is good.
Saying " Dear XYZ, I ordered a UHR in the first hour of availability over a month ago. I have not received my coin, and have called your customer service line repeatedly.

I just called the Mint's Office of Public Affairs to report the problem with FIFO not being followed on the UHRs. The woman I spoke with was very nice and said she "had heard something about this". I expressed my concern that nothing was being done to correct the problem and that older orders were continuing to be fulfilled while the early orders remained in limbo. She promised to get back to me shortly. I will report back when I hear from her.

She didn't believe that UHRDEs were being shipped out of Order # sequence. In the end, she transfered me to the Customer Care #, where I could only leave a message.

i too got no where with the Mint's Public Affairs after six phone calls and messages and a polite conversation with the 'nice lady' who i believe was simply paying lip service.
Let's keep pounding them. I really believe our orders are in a state of limbo. I think it is very clear what has happened. When they (PBGS) halted processing weeks ago because of the book snafu, all of the processed and waiting orders went into a hold status of some sort. When they resumed processing of orders this week, they started with the next orders on the list and all of the early orders remain on hold. Someone else postulated this scenario a few posts back. This was the message I tried to convey to the "nice lady".
After this thread, Mr President is going to throw a couple billion in wage increases to the people who work in government just for having to put up with the "extra" work Americans have caused them. Change is good (you'll need it for taxes).
Okay, it's not true, but it could happen. It's just that there is so much government waste (time, procurement procedures, paper shuffling, phone answering, email writing) now, that if we add to the red tape, it can only cost Joe Public more in the long run. AND IT WILL. You can quote me
Well, MY CC charge just went away this AM! LOL! What a way to run things! You KNOW it has to be a government run outfit! Maybe Obama should overhaul the mint TOO!
if anybody cares, i did get my Lincoln commems today. NO signature required for a $704 order. i came home at 10:30 a.m., and there they were, upside down in the middle of the walkway out in plain sight.

Ok - lets throw in another issue about these coins that is unrelated to the shipping. Let's say that , oh, I had 2 orders coming to me. The first order was placed on the first day and cost me $1189.00 (order number 111111) and lets say my second order was placed yesterday and cost me $1339.00 (order number 222222). Let us also pretend both of these orders were delivered today the order number 111111 looked like a MS63 at best and I wanted to send it back. Order number 222222 looked like a lock MS70. What would be stopping me from taking the coin from order 111111 and sending it back with the invoice from order 222222. Instead of getting an $1189 credit for me first order I get a $1339 credit.

P.S. ok maybe THIS is the reason for the delayed shipment

I have to respectfully disagree with the hypothesis that the initial UHR orders are in a state of limbo and are not being processed. However, that being said, i do agree with your efforts to "keep pounding them" despite what others have posted to the contrary. I would rather err on the side of caution and continue pounding them rather than relying on a false sense of security that the initial UHR orders are being processed. Furthermore, we should continue to pound them to let them know that their behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Ok now, based on my limited conversations and investigation of this matter with respect to the UHR, here is how it's going down. At a minimum, the first 10,000 UHRs will be shipped by the FS deadline of March 11. The initial UHR orders purchased on 01/22/09 will be included in the first 10,000 UHR shipments. Nevertheless, let's keep pounding them!
No, theoretically and for the most part practically, this is not a problem because there is a limit of one coin per household and the pricing is based on the spot price of gold. Regardless, you can't stop conspiracy ie. : swapping your coins with another "household" to profit from the arbitrage.
<< <i>"I have to respectfully disagree with the hypothesis that the initial UHR orders are in a state of limbo and are not being processed."
Based upon what? My order at 12:07 38264XX has been mia since Jan 22nd.....I'd define that as a state of radiculopathy... >>
Based upon my conversation with the radiculopathologist, you will get your UHR by 03/11. Just call them daily to ascertain that your order is still in the system.
"I have to respectfully disagree with the hypothesis that the initial UHR orders are in a state of limbo and are not being processed."
Wow...a guy I work with just rcvd his...and he ordered his 'a day and a half' after they became available on the 22nd. I order mine at about 1.07 on the 22nd and still not shipped. Ticks me off quite a bit...
