  When the item ships.

  Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!

  One thing you have to watch out for is your credit card expiration date. If it happens to expire from the time that you ordered it and the time they ship/charge you; your order will be cancelled. This can happen, especially on items like the commems which don't ship for several months after you've ordered them. They don't send a reminder I don't think. Just something to check on.

  They will also deluge both your mailing address and your billing address with a ton of junk for a long while after you've ordered.

  My credit card expires 11/06. I placed my order for the commem's the day they went on sale, and edited my online mint info the following day with an 11/06 expiration dated card. The card has been in my wallet for a while, and I've never activated it until after I placed my order. My prior card expires 10/06, so I don't know why they sent me a new card with expiration dates so close, and I suspect I will get another card between now and 11/06. But, my question is, do I have to update any more information other than my online account with the mint, such as calling them personally? I'd hate to have my order cancelled because I missed something, such as the problems we have read about lately.

  Usually for me when it ships!

  I'd make the changes on the mint's web site AND call them. Have them send you a confirmation they received your changed info along with a message confirming your order for the commemoritives. Just to make sure. Ray

  I look forward to the mail they send. I collect it all. I'm going to make a scrap book of the mailings. To each his/her own.
