I actually went home to try my comcast connection. I was not getting on here at work. Managed two orders of 5. Right now on my last 4 orders here at work. There is small windows of opportunity where it moves very fast. And than it is almost impossible to get on even at 5 PM.
In reply to the question "Does backordered mean wait listed"...the answer is no...all orders are backordered until the records are all reconciled and duplicate orders are eliminated.
For example, my order at 2:30 is also backordered...and if that really means "wait listed" we're ALL in deep trouble!
Did anyone else get stuck with $17.95 shipping on SINGLE set orders? Is this something that the mint would change if I called? Especially if I placed 3 separate orders on the same account...they can see I spent over $300...
Anyone wonder if today's mania will put us in a catch-22? Does the US mint have a history of changing order sizes or maximum mintages of coins/sets when there's insanely high demand? This was my first ever order from the US mint, so I am ignorant to this info, thanks.

Order Status: Your order request has been suspended.
Because of the SNAFU during the ordering frenzy I have two orders in my order history showing up even though I was unable to complete the ordering process!
I also have my two good orders showing up, I also got the confirmation e-mails for these two.

Call customer service, explain that the website hysteria caused you to place a second order after your first did not appear to go through.

Out of curiosity, why would the mint put more man hours into canceling orders that they are already getting paid for?

Why? Because they said a MAX OF 5 and they have plenty of other people waiting in line to get their set.

Same thing happened to me. I placed one order for two and one order for 3. Somehow the order for 2 went through 2 different times. I never saw the order placed on one of the orders and I did not receive an email for that order but when I looked in my account, it showed 3 orders instead of the two. One of the two shows suspended.

I understand that. But they have their money already. Why do they care about the people who didn't get orders in? I am one of the people who didn't get in what they wanted, so I am asking from an unbiased position. Seems like a waste of their time to sift through 40k orders looking for tiny inconsistencies that could be people ordering more than 5 sets...
just got back on the damn site for a second before shut me down again, but no sell out or waitlist up now. Placed a second order for one more set at 6:30 and got email confirm. So looks like no sold out yet.
PEACE! This is the first day of the rest of your life.

if those 2 did not complete the process and they are showing as "suspended" more tha likely they are what I call "phantom orders," which are incomplete orders pending... they eventually disappear after a couple of hours

Pretty certain that won't be filled but still worth the try. I believe this was over and sold out by 4:00 today.

if you do not see "wait list" then your browser if pulling from its cache.
I think I messed up my order. I accidently put the wrong month of the expiration date for my cc. Looks like I tried to rush through when I finally saw the place order button and didn't realize the mistake until it went through. I'm been trying to call through but keep getting a busy tone. Will they cancel my order for this mistake? If not, should I keep contacting them or will they contact me? How long do I have to correct this error? Any help would be great.

Bingo! There is someone who has done this before AND paid attention
Good luck with your order!

no your fine

Anyone else?
Many people were at work and probably unable to devote the time and energy to fighting the phones or the website for an order.
How many people thought they could just order one sometime after they got off work only to now find them vaporized a la Lunar Dragons???
Hold strong. There will be flood on eBay (already!) and it may cool prices but long term, this baby is a winner.

But under item status it still says backordered, ship on 11/10/11.
Is this normal? (the request is on hold part?)

2 orders are cancelled and 1 is still good.
I called them and they verified that my order is ok.
the rep. said that this message...."Order Status: Your order request is on hold. " is normal for orders in excess of $300.00
sound right?
