It appears that the shipping problem was with the Mint's fullfillment house, which was a private company. True the Mint choose the company and they got overwhelmed, but they fixed it. In the last couple of weeks it appears they got the problem solved as I and several others have been getting deliveries in 7-10 days. For free miles we all can afford to wait a little.
