Now you can say you heard it here first.
"The advantage to the merchant of using this system of credit card pre-authorization screening is that they can avoid processing fraudulent payments and thereby avoid losing the processing fees of that sale and a chargeback fee should any chargeback arise from the fraudulent order. Furthermore, there's a limit to the number of chargebacks a merchant can receive in any given month, usually expressed as a percentage of total sales. By avoiding as many chargebacks as possible, the merchant ensures the safety of their merchant account."

Ok, I will walk you through it.
Go to the Mint's site and log-in. Go to "My Account" then to "Edit my Account"
Second from the bottom is "My Shipping Methods." That is where you pick your default. What does it say? Mine is Standard Shipping $4.95. If your's is expedited Shipping, all your orders will go out as expediated shipping. This is how you set it up when you originally set-up your account. If it says Standard Shipping, then you changed it when you ordered the sets.
<< <i>Slow day I guess, discussing the vagaries of CC charges and shipping. Yawn. >>
Or people are trying to learn something. Gee, I thought that was what part of this forum was for. But, I guess that would be boring to someone who knows everything. It's ok to roll over and go back to sleep.
I don't recall what the dollar threshold is but after a certain amount the Mint will give you a complimentary upgrade to "Expedited Shipping". I have "Standard Shipping" as my default option but it appears that my 5 ASE sets are being sent Expedited. Since the Standard Shipping generally arrives 1 or 2 business days after shipping, I can't wait to see how fast the Expedited will go! I've had Standard shipments sent in the morning arrive the next morning, so Expedited should break the time-space continuum and arrive at my home BEFORE they send it!

Ya, I got it. That wasn't what I was asking, but OK. I don't care about paying the extra for expedited. But if people are getting free expedited shipping, why would it matter if my default is set to expedited or not? It should all be free. That was the point I was making. No need for me to waste any more of people's time with this, sorry I was just wondering
It is kind of like Amazon. I live a 100 miles from their warehouse. When I order over $25, they ship for free. However, if I want it shipped faster (5 to 7 days ETA), I can pay $10. I pick free because I get it within that time frame anyway. Do you think Amazon should refund my $10 had I picked that option and it arrived at the same time as the free shipping would have?

Here is what you posted on the day of the sale:
<< <i>I got a few single orders through, but my auto-settings were set for the expedited shipping (because I was told it was free), but in my confirmation email it is $17.95 per set! Did I screw myself? >>
It sounds like you selected it on purpose because you thought it was free.
What you misunderstood is that the upgrade to expedited is free. Orders that selected standard shipping don't get free expedited shipping. They still pay the $4.95 but get upgraded to expedited for the price of standard shipping.
Ya, I understand the basic concept. I was just curious (in the beginning) what others had experienced. In my settings, I had regular shipping checked. On sell day, I didn't change anything (obviously, I barely had enough time to click!) Which is why I was confused...I don't know. Doesn't matter. Thanks for the input!

Forget about FS, what I want to know is if Dansco will provide an updated page for these!
Just kidding, hope you appreciate the irony of losing the "set" designation on the 3 that are not unique to the set, and I don't think they make a Date/MM album for ASE's anyway.

I have two orders and one says on hold and the other is in process.

yes.
the "hold" is a credit card check.
after that, the order is "in process" and thus meaning it is ready to allocate the stock.

Second from the bottom is "My Shipping Methods." That is where you pick your default. What does it say? Mine is Standard Shipping $4.95. If your's is expedited Shipping, all your orders will go out as expediated shipping. This is how you set it up when you originally set-up your account. If it says Standard Shipping, then you changed it when you ordered the sets. >>
Ya, I got it. That wasn't what I was asking, but OK.
I don't care about paying the extra for expedited.
But if people are getting free expedited shipping, why would it matter if my default is set to expedited or not? It should all be free.
That was the point I was making. No need for me to waste any more of people's time with this, sorry
I was just wondering
I knew it would happen.
<< <i>
<< <i>
<< <i>According to my email I got charged the full expedited price on each...Would they change that when they charge the card? Doesn't seem likely (would be nice though >>
If I remeber right, you picked expedited shipping. I didn't and got it anyway. >>
Well, I never checked it or selected it but ya, I got it for some reason.
If you pay the $5 and then they upgrade it to free, why wouldn't they upgrade it to free if you pay $17?
Here is what you posted on the day of the sale:
<< <i>I got a few single orders through, but my auto-settings were set for the expedited shipping (because I was told it was free), but in my confirmation email it is $17.95 per set! Did I screw myself? >>
It sounds like you selected it on purpose because you thought it was free.
What you misunderstood is that the upgrade to expedited is free. Orders that selected standard shipping don't get free expedited shipping. They still pay the $4.95 but get upgraded to expedited for the price of standard shipping.
I was just curious (in the beginning) what others had experienced. In my settings, I had regular shipping checked. On sell day, I didn't change anything (obviously, I barely had enough time to click!) Which is why I was confused...I don't know. Doesn't matter.
Thanks for the input!
<< <i>Derryb, when you say they are pinging the cards for temporary authorization are they loooking to authorize the card for the full $1505 or are they pinging it for a few cents to see that it is valid?
<< <i>cancel box will disappear when CC are charged. Right for the in-process orders they are pinging the card for temporary authorization and to ensure card is valid. They will hit it again when they are ready to make the actual charge. Your CC may or may not show temporary authorization when viewed on line, depends on the CC. >>

I'm not Derryb, but The ping will show as $1.00
<< <i>Don't they process orders sequentially by Order Number? It doesn't appear that is the case. Can anyone shed some light on this? >>
Nah, doesn't seem so. My first order was on hold while my others went to processing for a solid half-day before the first order went to processing.
<< <i>Ya, I understand the basic concept.

End Edit
Forget about FS, what I want to know is if Dansco will provide an updated page for these!
Just kidding, hope you appreciate the irony of losing the "set" designation on the 3 that are not unique to the set, and I don't think they make a Date/MM album for ASE's anyway.
