I wonder if the new shipping method will apply to orders that are currently "in the queue" or just new orders going forward...?

I have an order from 6/24 still saying in process. Anyone place an order on or after 6/24 that's been shipped yet?
Thanks!
Thanks!

NEW shipping wording cut and pasted from mint website.....
"Packages valued at $300 or more, containing precious metal products (platinum, gold, silver) are upgraded to expedited shipping free of charge (does not include Ciruclating $1 Direct Ship Rolls)."
Now, when you place an order, it says standard shipping (free), but lets you edit the shipping option and pay extra for expedited (UPS) shipping (which none of us would do with a $1,000 order).
Note how they spelled "circulating" on the Mint website. I'm assuming that it is new and they haven't bothered to correct the spelling yet.

Isn't UPS Smart Post is trackable up to the point at which UPS delivers to your local post office for final delivery? I get a lot of packages from Amazon that I track through UPS where the USPS does the final delivery.
I'm going to look at enlarging my mail slot into something that will accept packages. Plan B might be to have my mail held when I am expecting one of these deliveries.
I had planned on placing an order every 10 days as much as possible but will scale that back if it starts being a hassle.

If this is the new method for "ciruclating" coins, I like it!! Before, I couldn't ship to my house because the UPS site is 40 minutes away and we're never home during the day to get the coins. So I could only use my work address. However our post office box at the end of our street has a ~14" x 14" x 14" locked box for packages where I can get them any time of the night!
Hope this is the case.
