That's the same for my order. There are 3 UPS packages for 1 order. Don't know why they are doing it that way unless they don't want to ship all 5 pucks in the same box?

If I had to guess, I'd say they minted half the mintage, so 50k and anything over that will have to wait for another minting to occur....I doubt it takes that long, May 1st, but who knows. I guess for those that got their pucks first, there will be at least limited number of First Strikes?

Maybe the contractor ran out of larger shipping boxes and instead of having orders pile up waiting for a re-supply they are shipping what they can?
All mine appear to be in one shipment... hoping the pucks don’t damage the gold. They do have a problem with putting enough (any) packing material in the shipping boxes.

My last few packages from the mint have been that way. It's expensive way to do things. Maybe there are savings built-in that aren't obvious?
ETA: I think I read that Amazon does something similar. That's why your packages come in all shapes/sizes. They have an algorithm that allows them to perfectly pack the trucks from the warehouse so that there is no wasted space from guessing your way through and awkwardly packaging a million packages. Also, it should cut down on amount of time to pack a truck instead of guessing/arranging/rearranging/saying screw it and leaving empty space. Maybe also less trucks?

As far as I know it has always been a rule that if you leave the coin inside the UNOPENED Mint box you can send it in months and maybe years later to get the first strike label. Unless our host has changed it there is no worry if you get your coin the first or second or third batch.....as long as you leave it in the unopened mint box.

As long as the postmark is within the 30 day time frame. So if the postmark is outside of that there might be an issue. But, I think, if you have a receipt within the first 30 days you are covered... probably best to call CS.

There are to many moving parts to this statement to give a definitive answer. If you are trying to draft a legally accountable statement I am not sure I'd call it necessarily "true".
we don't know for sure how many were minted; the backorder kicked in when the supply available for delivery was depleted, not necessarily when the existing mintage was depleted (sometimes they need to wait for additional packaging, additional inventory, etc.).
the May 1 date is an estimate and is already proving to be a soft deadline as some are getting shipped earlier.
nothing says that the rest of the mintage will be available May 1 - another, later backorder could kick in once the next batch is depleted.
you could argue that backordered coins are "available for sale", but are simply not yet available for delivery. The mint will still take your order, i.e. - "sell" you the coin.

Maybe if you used some punctuation in that question...
You don't know (and may never know) how many pucks they had to go on day 1. But they sold and shipped all they had.
The backorder dates given by the mint are extremely pessimistic. I suspect the backordered pucks will be available sooner than that.
Keep in mind the Mint only has one press that can do 3" rounds, so we're probably looking at not only a slow process (13 coins per minute, mentioned in the old thread here), but it also has to strike the ATB pucks as well, which is on their own schedule.
I imagine the ATB pucks will take precedence. They have to get both the bullion and collectors versions out on schedule.
That means we may see the Apollo pucks trickle out of the mint for the next few weeks/months.
In any event, they'll make all that's in demand up to the 100K limit.

Backorder kicked in after the available supply was depleted. My single puck wasn't backordered until well after the order was in process. Grrrrrr.... (The two pucks with my gold order did ship, but that was an early order.)

At least they don't charge you until the coin ships. But they're basically giving you a place in the virtual waiting queue...

The packing list from the Mint inside the box is where the date is sourced, iirc. It's not necessarily 30 days, which is why you have to go look at PCGS's FS cutoff dates.
Labels from the Mint are notoriously absent in any useful information, like when it was shipped and what's inside the box.
Sealed shipping boxes are what comprise my "Brown Box Collection", in case anyone's been wondering what the heck that means.
I know there are a few here who have such a collection...

False. They only sold 51,000 on the first day and that would have included back orders
Someone needs to teach the Mint shipping company how to pack coins for shipment. I picked up my box today and as the Postal Clerk handed it to me she commented as to how the contents were just flopping around inside.

I agree with you too!! I should have just asked: "What constitutes a sellout these days? Many people have said the 5oz. issue sold out in less than 10 minutes. Take HSN, they are selling the same set the mint is selling. HSN price $599. US Mint price $225. HSN is implying the issue sold out from the mint and they have the sets in hand and ready to ship. To me, with the mint going into a "backorder" status does not constitute a sellout!! Just because you cannot get the set immediately doesn't mean it is a sellout IMHO. What do you think?

It is NOT sold out. It did not sell out in 90 seconds, nor ten minutes. That is hype. You can still order on the mint website however they are in back order mode...read back some of the posts in this string and you will get your explanation.

Gluggo sir ...what is your opinion regarding the 5 oz in hand?
So all I got is the half set today from the mint. Now on a personal opinion I think they are charging to much so I only bought 1. I will send it in for PCGS grading once I get it. It has shipped but has not made it yet. In fact I am surprised more people have not posted their pictures yet since I am way up in Alaska. I am guessing we should see a slew of pictures soon.
Will it hold its value the 5 ounce ? Only time will tell that’s why I only got 1. I actually like the half set better due to the 59 bucks. I never sell my coins so many here buy and sell because that’s their business or livelihood. Me I am just a hard working Oil Field trash hand. Started as a worm and worked my way up the ladder. Almost tipped the man lift last week 50 feet out in the air. That would of ended my career. Oil Field is a dangerous job. I count my blessing each day I go home safe to play with my dog and coins.

The serious answer to this is when status on the web page flips from "Currently Unavailable" to "Sold Out". Until the Mint declares the product sold out, more can become available due to credit card issue, etc.
We've seen product that was unavailable become available in small amounts for weeks.
So the product is sold out when it's marked sold out. I mean seriously, are you going to believe anything you hear on HSN?
Awfully gutsy for HSN to say they are soldout. First day sales were only half of the saleout number, and they still do not show sold out. Could be an easy lawsuit for them.
Both gold and the half set just delivered. The 5 oz will complete the order when they ship. Next to come will be the dollars and halfs which are shipping UPS 2nd Day Air.

Those coins are sweet. Glad I'm in for 5 sets (being processed), might have to up that.
Nice looking Halves, I think the half set is probably the best bang for the buck with this offering, pretty cool.
Is the Kennedy going to be limited to this set?
I got shipped notice for the dollars and halfs. Weird how these didn't go out on Friday.

Thank you . I feel much better now. (No I don't, but I'm backing up some data and am wasting some time...)
All wrapped up and then you see the submission form laying on the table.
FYI .. BEP Print Mintage Limit: 8000 not 7k
Excellent packing job!! Don't forget the return address!....you never know.
I just left my return address off for the photo.
Nice tape job! What kind of tape is that?
For what it's worth, I was just able to place an order for a couple of pucks, no backorder message. No sellout message.
I knew it would happen.
