    OK...3 of the 4 orders I'm tracking just went to in stock and reserved. They were placed from about 12:30 to 4:00.

    Another order at about 4:30 is still simply in process.

    I think quite a large majority of orders have probably now gone to in stock and reserved.

    Actual shipping will probably commence in the next couple of days.

    BTW what is the total cost of grading 5 sets of these with the 25th Lable? >>

    >>According to my UPS Distribution Center, only the shipper can change the delivery address except once an attempt has been made to deliver, you can call and have it held at the Distribution Center. Then you can go pick it up. However, you have to have a Government issued ID with your address on it for them to turn it over to you.

    There is no way, according to them, that the receiver can change where it is to be delivered when you are required to sign for it. I have tried. In fact, I have tried to get them to hold it at th Distribution Center rather than making the first attempt and they say, "No, we have to try to make the first attempt. Then you can have it held." >>

    Good information to know, as I'm rarely home during the day for a delivery.

    Go on the ups website (or talk to them). I've done both.
    If you have an online account, you can switch the address once you have a tracking number. You dont need to wait for an attempted delivery or have a government issued form of ID
    Other members have also replied saying they got the address switched as well.

    From my last order from the US Mint, this is the tracking detail from the order where I went online and changed the delivery address.

    03/15/2011 7:52 P.M. The Delivery Change Request for this package has been completed. / The address has been corrected. The delivery has been rescheduled.
    03/15/2011 5:24 P.M. A Delivery Change Request for this package will be processed. / Deliver to Another Address.

    During the ATB sales, the deliveries by FedEx seemed to be unchangeable, while those shipped by UPS ground were changeable, before delivery. With the Mint, I've had these listed as shipped at 11:00 pm and at my door by 10:00 the next morning. With that kind of speed, it may not be possible to change the delivery address in time, at least not without causing "complications". With what it took to place an order for these, I would hope that a delivery address change is not something someone would enter into lightly.

    The only reason I was curious in the first place was people were saying they send them back to the mint after 3 attempts. If I am gone for 3 days, that is 3 attempts. I don't want these being sent back image
    The mint had no real consistency with ship dates...so I couldn't really plan around it and be home...

  • The cancel boxes are now gone from my first 3 orders (all made prior to 1:00pm). My last two orders were made between 1:00 - 1:30pm, they still have the cancel boxes. those should be gone soon as well!

    I understand all that. It's just that with how difficult it was to order these, I'd think very carefully about making any changes, that's all. I do recall someone mentioning a scheme to get around Mint HH limits with the ATB's by giving the Mint strangers' shipping addresses then changing the delivery addresses in route to his one real address. Don't remember who it was or whether or not it worked for him. Makes me wonder if the shipping company reports back to the Mint that the address was changed. If so, and it could be shown that it was done to get around the HH limit, it could impact future Mint orders.

    Did you notice you have to have the Infonotice number from the first attempt? anyway, I have called the several times with the tracking number and they would not change the delivery. They will only hold it at the Service Center (who later calls to verify you want it held).

    It appears UPS has different operating procedures depending on where you are.

    On a side note, my cancel boxes are gone on all 3 orders (total of 5 sets).

    Now I know the CC's and DC's are being hit.

    Note: Delivery change charges apply for Deliver to Another Address and Reschedule Delivery. You will only be charged if your request is completed. There is no charge for Will Call or Return to Sender.

    How to Change Your Delivery Options
    On either the ups.com home page or the main Tracking page, enter your 12-digit UPS InfoNotice number (found above the bar code) in the Tracking or InfoNotice Numbers field, and select the Track button. This will take you to the Tracking Summary page.
    On the Tracking Summary page, select the Change Delivery button.

    Will Call: UPS will hold your shipment at a nearby location for you to pick up.
    Deliver to Another Address: Redirect your shipment to a different delivery address.
    Reschedule Delivery: Specify a future date you want UPS to deliver the shipment.
    Return to Sender: UPS will return the shipment to the sender.
    Select Next, and provide the required information for the option you selected. If there is a service fee for your request, you will be asked to provide a payment card number.
    Select Finish to complete your request.

    Not sure about FedEx but the people at my Service Center told me they would eight try calling or send a postcard to the Post Office PO box. Now, my UPS store has PO boxes and they will deliver there. So, it depends on the type of box you have.

    As for me, I will just drive 4 blocks the pick them up at the Distribution Center.
  • I highly doubt that would work. You imagine the fraud you could perpetrate and how easy it would be to get around the Mint limits doing that. Even the Mint isn't stupid enough to allow that on high value products like this.
