So, I order mine 11/18 and received notice of SHIPMENT to Seattle today, 7 days later.

My son orders his on the 20th and RECEIVES his on the 23rd, New Orleans.

Seems odd, doesn't it?

What's been your experience?

    Ordered mine at shortly after noon on the 17th, received mine in Eastern TN on the 21st. Didn't I read here that they ship from Memphis?

    BTW, Looks like I lucked out and got a perfect one.

    Wow Lakesammman.. that is a major difference....not sure how their fulfillment process works, but there are some strange anomalies...Cheers, RickO

    @Lakesammman I am pretty sure that the fulfillment center is indeed in Memphis as @bolivarshagnasty says, so it figures they would arrive in the South sooner. As for the irregularities in date notifications, that is just Mint SOP as far as I can see. I have sometimes ordered coins for Mrs. VDB within minutes of my own coins and yet they can ship weeks apart.

    Kind regards,

    George

    Remember there is a process the mint follows to verify orders, including credit card address matching and household limits. Maybe something in the automated process kicked you out to be verified and that took the extra time...

    You pissed someone in the mint off at some point and your name is blacklisted.... ;)

    I suspect it was my complaining about the Mint website on the 17th that was the crux of the issue - that and the fact I voted Libertarian instead of Democratic. :tired_face:

    @Lakesammman...what you did not know, amidst all the worries about ballot fixing, is the machine was taking pictures of each ballot caster and linking them to a photocopy of the ballot.... :D:D Cheers, RickO

    ricko:

    Mail only in WA - no web-ballot cameras!

    Day 10 - still no coins or online status......and I had the audacity to ask another poster who paid express shipping, "What's the hurry". :blush:

    I'd give them a call....tell them you seem to have fell through the cracks but you have clawed your way up to find out "WASSUP????" :)
