I hope you didn't get a rep before noon. I did that once and she started the order when I called, they canceled my order because it showed being placed before noon.

I looks like yours is the earliest reported order on these boards. Welcome updates as to if and when you get notification it has shipped.
my order doesn't even show the date or time anymore. I did order around 12:41pm on 1/22/09.
I had two computers opened at the same time on the order window but by mistake had 2 in the order number box of one of them. I had to cancel that order. In between the two there must have been over several thousand orders. Oh well. My dates have never changed. The coin and book still show 02/06/09 as the ship date. Fingers crossed. All I want is one beautiful coin.
Ships are safe in harbor but thats not what ships were built for.
Well I can top you all...my wife's order, using a different CC account (hers not mine) under her maiden name, with different billing and shipping addresses than mine...WAS JUST CANCELLED!
And she also ordered a couple of spouse gold that were not cancelled...so it's not a credit card limit thing. And we live in an apartment house with 120 units...so the one coin per mailing address is hard to validate.
And her order was placed a full 5 days after mine...so either someone's REALLY crosschecking records at the mint...or something's up with this coin's supply.
And we both maintain separate accounts with the Mint (without CC linkage) for just this type of situation.
So she's going to call up customer service this AM and rip someone a new one!
<<Shouldn't the delivery address match the CC billing address to avoid fraud?>>
There's an option for shipping and billing to different addresses which I always use...because I don't want the coins stuffed into our cubby hole size mailbox...or even worse, left at the door!
Gee...someone might be awake at the Mint order processing department...scary!

Looks like a few of us got this change.
Was 2/6 and in stock, now it's 2/14 and backordered? >>
Now it has moved again???
Originally 2/6 , then 2/14 and now 2/17 ??
What is going on. Anyone still have a 2/6 shipping date?
I loaded the thing in the cart at 12:02, but it took 5 minutes to load the page so it said Order time 12:07...Things were never as unorganized as this, bad maybe, but not this stupid...
<< <i>What's scary is that the Mint is shipping gold orders via Parcel Post, and the truck drivers are just dropping them at the door without requiring any signatures. >>
Has there been a change in policy? I thought items over $1000 qualify for a higher level of shipping, if not Registered Mail when going by USPS?

peeps, you'll get them eventually. probably most in the first wave of shipments. just be thankful your order is sitting there in the queue and you dont still have to take time for an hour trying to get through the balky website to place your order.
<< <i>How could they not know they don't have any coins to ship on 2/6 ?? >>
You're kidding, right? This is the US Mint we are talking about. We will get our coins when they are in hand. If you keep watching the dates everyday you will get the idea pretty fast that they won't ship anytime soon. The US Mint was quite clear from the beginning that this could take 6-9 months to fill the orders. Any sooner would be excellent, though not expected on my part. So sit back and relax. You don't pay until they ship anyway. So it isn't like you are out any money. However, the frustration may begin for me if I see other members get theirs and mine hasn't shipped.
I think my above dissertation was to myself....I am usually very impatient!
"What we are never changes, but who we are ... never stops changing."
How many different scenerios are there regarding order status?? My order status has been "on hold" since I ordered. That hasn't changed. The expected ship date for the COIN has been changed from 02/11 to 02/06 and then to "in stock and reserved" with the book showing an expected ship date of 02/06. So my question is......is it better to be "in stock and reserved" or to be showing a ship date of 02/06
I am getting tired of wakeing up to find an email with the title backorder and nothing in the body to tell me what's happening. According to the Mint's site they are going to ship both the coin and the book on the 6th... Three days to go... We'll see what happens.
Unless the London Wednesday AM gold fix is below $887.25, we're going to have another Thursday price increase of $50 for the UHR. And price increases for any other gold coins as well.
Email says backordered til the 18th for both, but they are now back to 2-6 on the website.

Since yours is one of the earliest orders (assume within 15 minutes of the noon order date on the 22nd), keep us posted on if and when you get a confirmation that the item(s) shipped. A Mint employee had assured someone on this board who called last week that the first shipments of the UHR would be going out this week. That seems more reliable than a computer generated email.
Its on the track order page, but still it lists 1 unit backordered. Expected to ship on 02/13/2009 for the coin, and 1 unit backordered. Expected to ship on 02/20/2009 for the book.

Same here.
And, adding to the insult, their website is taking new orders for shipment on 2/13.

Thoughts...comments?
Nope...one was ordered from my work PC...while the other was ordered from our home PC...
And e-mail confirms were also sent to completely different addresses.
And one was purchased using Amex while the other was Visa.
And to further muddy the waters, one was to be shipped to me at work, while the other was to go to a package delivery service at a third address.
