I've had nothing but smiles at my credit union. Great people. They only (sometimes) ask why I'm bringing in soooo many $1 coins. I just say that I thought it might be nice to put a few away, but with the changing economy I'd rather be in gold...Everyone nods and says something along the lines of, "ain't that the truth!"
Oh, and other people love them and usually ask for them from the tellers right after I leave. Glad to be of service!

I received an order today that I placed Monday (4 days ago) - this was an odd situation of only requesting $250 of John Adams (ordered only one box as part of a larger order the first time around).

Just deposited $6,000 of $1 coins at my bank ($2,000-me, $2,000-wife & $2,000-mother). No problem.
It took less than 2 weeks to receive all coins.

I just received the last of my coins. I would now like to order 500 of each on my wife's card. We have the same home ship to address. We have the same home billing address. can't ship to work.

Jim, did you and your wife use seperate ship to address, or did you both ship to same. Also are your billing addresses different.

I've been just "recycling" the $500 order. Getting several thousand dollars of coins seems really brave; I'm just not totally trusting the delivery and security of with too much money involved.

Sometimes things go wrong with Credit Cards
My brother (who needed to top up his FF account for an award trip that he was planning), at my urging, ordered a bunch of Presidential coins that were duly delivered.
A couple of days after the second delivery he received the following letter from the US Mint:

Thought that you guys may be interested - especially the bit about the certified check.

LOL considering they have a fair chunk of $$$ at risk I find it a bit demanding of them to insist you get a certified/cashiers check.

Don't laugh, the things the treasury can do can make your life miserable. fill it out and send it in without delay.
