Yes, give it a week unless its the 2001 NAs, those can take awhile.

MrPickles (aka the man) is following the rules just like everyone else. There's no way around the iron clad system the mint has setup... even if you are ane exempt shipper.

Oh, good. Thanks for the information! It's been a while since I 've ordered, and I couldn't find a good post about it when I did a search.

My UPSpeeps always ring... twice. Is that bad?

Thanks for the feedback everyone else.

I ordered the same as you last week and the status shows the same. I expect it will change the status towards the end of the week for you.

I've been on instock and reserved status for about two weeks. Not sure what is up there. Usually, i get shipped less than 2 days after being put on the in stock and reserved status.

Actually.....there is a way around. The rules say $1000.00 per 10 days. But you can have say multiple credit cards that feed back to the same FF or Points program and set up each card to a different billing and shipping address. Then use authorized user cards for each order and have them shipped to the billing address for each credit card.

Billing address could be a neighbor or relative, your office, storage facility, yacht club, golf club etc. I would suggest that you go with paperless billing for the credit cards.

In MY OPINION THIS IS JUST WAY TOO MUCH WORk AND TROUBLE TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER for so little payback.

And, this is NOT the technique that I use to currently get about 7-8k per month.

My current method is very basic obvious and if you are even the dumbest FTr you should be able to figure it out without me holding your hand.

You could also just use a PO Box,
My local mailing station give you a "suite" instead of a PO Box number. They informed me that any box mailed to them larger then your actual mailing box is put in the back room and you give your name and box number when picking up your mail... they go back and pick it up. They told me they do not care what Suite number is used for larger packages, as long as it has my full name on the address.

Have one box shipped to your house and the other or possibly others shipped to the suite address. Also, you do not have to worry about being there for the delivery.

$1,000 every 10 days seems reasonable, better than nothing at all. They seem to be shipping fairly quickly compared to about 7 months ago.

Doesn't your "spouse" have an authorized user card and a work address?

beachmiles

Thanks. I see.

Does your order show as "on hold" or "in process"? If it is still on hold that generally indicates a credit card issue, either the number was incorrect or charge declined but more likley is a violation of the 10 day rule. MY experience has been that it is easier to cancel and reorder.

Just got my first order in which were 4 boxes of the John Adams coins. I kept one roll out of the box and have been using them in different places in my area, so I'm definitely doing my part in circulating them around. The coins are great for metro fares and vending machines around here.

Although it said 1-2 weeks to ship, it actually went out in about 3 days and got them pretty fast via UPS. Probably be making my next order in a few days.

Is it 10 days from the last ship date that you can order again, or 10 days from last order date?

Just trying to get the latest information - Is it OK to use Starwood Amex card to buy the dollar coins so that it is treated as a purchase?


I have not done coin purchases for over a year, so not sure of what the current policies with the credit card companies are.

Could not quite figure out how to search for this - so any help appreciated.
