And to the person saying that because the coins were backordered, they haven't ordered more... the rule is 10 days from the order date, not ship date or credit card charge date. If you place another order now it'll work (I've done it several times w/backorders).

The period between late June and early July was the Mint did their auditing. May be Sacagewea has some issues discovered during the audit so it cannot be released again until the numbers are reconciled.

For any of you who have ordered just one box ($250) in an order...
How do these get shipped? I've heard USPS, is that true?
Also, is a signature required on these just like they are on the UPS packages of >$300?
Thanks a lot!

Today when I placed an order, the CSR said that the rule is 10 calendar days (after a CSR told me yesterday that it was 10 business days) and there is a notice that pops up if the person has ordered in the "last 9 calendar days". I got the impression though, that the CSR can override it and place the order anyway, but it may be canceled later down the line.
As for the comments about an account vs guest... I've never created an account because I think it gives them an extra level of tracking ability. I really don't think it matters though because if you call the place the order over the phone, they have all of your information saved anyway. They'll ask you if you've ordered before and then ask for your zip code and last name. That information brings up your file.... email, phone & billing address.

My experience has not been the same as yours so I called and asked to speak to "misinformed" CS reps in order to clarify the new 10 day policy.
Does this present a problem for your tried and proven method ?

Secondarily, I am not the one with the "problem."
Cheers!

I'm not saying that I'm the master at all... I'm just saying that it's a part of my system and so far it seems to be working.
I'm using 3 addresses and getting $5k/10 days (could be getting $6k, but that 3rd address it's almost more effort than it's worth for another $1k)

I was in the same situation, I just canceled the order and placed a new one with different coin set. Worked great.

Received an order today of one box ($250). The final delivery was USPS and it was just left on the front porch. No signature required.

When you say 3 addresses, do you mean billing or shipping? I'm using 3 cards, each with a different billing address. I haven't figured out how to get more than $1k/10day per billing address

What I think you guys are saying is the monitoring agent is the billing address. If that's true, why don't you just log into your credit card, change the billing address, order the coins, wait until the card is processed and coins are shipped, then go back and log into your credit card change your address back. Rinse and repeat. Your billing address selection would then be unlimited because you would only use it for a day or two at a time.
