Did they get ride of free shipping?
I ordered 20 boxes, but received an invoice for $2754.95
The details then said "11 reserved, 9 S/O" (meaning they will charge on ship date I'm guessing?)
It also included a $4.95 shipping fee.

On the web page, there was no shipping. But the email confirmation had $4.95. Even if the they end up charging me $4.95, that's not bad for 18 boxes. More disconcerting is that the email says:
1. NATIVE AMERICAN $250 BOX $1 COIN (N01)
Qty 18 @ $250.00 - Product not available.
So my grand total is $4.95 for zero boxes!

Now its back to not available. Maybe they just had a few boxes and they ran out while I was ordering.

So, here's why the order tracking feature was disabled the last month...
you can once again track your order from The Mints website, that is if you registered with them and filled out all the forms, thusly having an acct with a Id and Password.
I didnt do it, as I dont use the same CC every time nor the same address and Im afraid this will just be a way for them to keep better track of things

My order from March 2 still remains "On hold" - whatever that means - I talked to a CSR a couple of days ago - and all she could tell me was they are doing address / CC verification - my CC doesnot show any pending charge - so not sure if this one will eventually fall through the cracks....anybody else seeing something similar?

This little article talks about why the order tracking feature was disabled, and then re-introduced, however, requiring you to create an account.

Also ordered about a week ago and the order is "On hold, pending credit card and address verification". Talked to a CSR and she could not give me any additional information except everything looked fine. Our credit card does have a pending transaction (but not actually charged) for the money. Will just wait and see if the coins ship.

My order from February 21st still hasn't been processed and I can't even reach them on the phone: "We're unable to answer your call at this time".

the CC usually gets charged a day or 2 after its been shipped. Better put the same day but it takes a day or 2 till it appears
