Not unless my current order goes out tonight and arrives tomorrow morning (not a holiday for UPS) ...

I ordered my next batch last Tuesday when I saw there was no backorder. They have not yet shipped. If that gives you any idea. We may be back to the 1-2 week time frame to box, address, and send.

Ordered some NAs on the 2nd and got notice Sat that they "had shipped" which probably means they will ship Monday or Tues.

I ordered on 9/16 and coins shipped on 9/22. Departed FedEx on 9/23. showed in transist until 10/4. Notation states "Shipment information sent to USPS". Wasn't to worried since delivery is at work and no deliveries over weekend. Still no show. Anyone else have same experience?

What the most anyone has order at one time from the mint? I appears you can order 99 aprox 24k worth. Has anyone done this? I'm not sure my sedan could carry all that weight to the bank not to mention the difficulties the UPS driver would have delivering that amount to my 2nd story condo.

One may order up to 99 units per order, but one may place more than one order.

OGM he is my hero. That's incredible! this is like robbing the bank legally. HKG here I come. Can you keep turning over coins as much and fast as you want? my Airline card has a 7500 limit. If all goes well I think I can do 2 u turns a month. Put me in coach I'm ready to play. If i can use AMX rewards, I might try a 100k order.

You would also have to carry all 475 lbs down to your car. Since you have to be there to sign for them, have the UPS guy load the boxes directly into your car. Then go to the bank before your car gets stolen or rearended.

with that much extra weight you might win that battle o' forces

But wonder what the officer would say if they saw the coins in the trunk... or worse, they started breaking open and spilling into the road
