It has been "shipped" and shows a tracking number?
I guess I will have to wait an extra week for mine.
For reference:

This Fedex Smartpost is the slowest, dumbest method of delivery the mint ever conceived. Why oh why should it take 3 weeks when First Class Mail could be here in 5 days? Just another Mint FAIL. Who ever is making the decisions over there is incompetent. Shouldn't the mint be supporting another "quasi" government agency and utilize the US Post Office? DUH!!!! 3 weeks vs 5 days for no apparent reason. I would have paid double to have first class mail but it wasn't even an option. My next option available is 4 times the standard shipping rate. Fail, Fail, Fail.

If you want to be sneaky you can order over $300 worth of mint products to qualify for expedited shipping and then cancel line items before they ship.

Awful quite out there about these.
quiet?
these are mostly being bought for personal collections and few are looking for the hot flip profits.
I will be interested to see the quality of the S only sets. I hope the sets were assembled in S before being shipped. I'd hate to think of PR coins being inserted and removed from multi-coin tubes.
Order placed on 7/2/2012 changed from backordered with an estimated ship date of 9/28/2012 to backordered with an estimated ship date of 7/27/2012. Cancel box is gone. Looks like more of these sets will be first strike eligable than originally thought.

In my search for info about if the mint ships FIFO I found this in Coin World 7/23 issue continuation of a page 1 story on page 67:
So hopefuly a minimum of roll stack nicks and dings.
I ordered on one of the last days, so I was one of the people the Mint was telling to look at a 3 month delay on the shipping.
The cancel box is still there, so who knows, the expected shipping date could change again.
Meanwhile at MCM, PCGS-graded 69 First Strike labeled sets of the two rounds are projected to sell for $219.

That's probably less than cost if you consider labor. BUY THEM...the RP is gonna sell for that much!
