Just what is the US Mint's definition of "In Stock"? Usually when a company lists an item as "in stock" that means it is available at their distributors and ready to deliver when ordered, right? I have an order at the mint that was placed 3 weeks ago and has been "In Stock and Reserved" and "In Process" for 2 weeks now. What is the normal time span that the mint takes to actually ship an in-stock item? __________________ STEVE   03-20-2009, 12:58 PM   #2 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 7,411 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by CAW Just what is the US Mint's definition of "In Stock"?

What is the normal time span that the mint takes to actually ship an in-stock item? Three years ago the transition time between "in stock and reserved" and "your order has been shipped" amounted to just a few days. Lately my experience has been exactly the same as yours. The order seems to languish forever at the mint fulfillment center. __________________ They also serve who only stand and wait....John Milton   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
