    Hi all, Like a dummy as I'm pretty new at buying coin's,I order from the Franklin Mint, Was for the first four presidential coins only, well the mint keeps sending me the next in series ones coming out, I call them and told them to stop charging my credit card ect, well today in mail guess what they send me William Henry (9th pres) What gets me is that in order to get credit back on my card I have mail back the coin they send me and way it looks I'm out shipping cost to me and back to them, what a racket they got going, has anyone gone threw this and if so how do I get them to stop, and to get my money back for shipping costs ect.

    Have you tried instructing your credit card company to NOT accept any more charges from Franklin Mint?

    I would do exactly what Hobo stated. Call your CC company and let them know that you have not authorized the Franklin Mint to have a reaccuring charge and that you would like all further charges from this company blocked.
    The CC company will put a stop/block on the charges from the Frankliln mint that will hold for one year. After which you will need to check to make sure they have not tried it again, and then add another block.

    Yeah once you started with one of those companies it is difficult to get them to stop. The Franklin Mint coins are very overpriced and you can find much better coins at a local coin shop and alot of cheaper.

    In addition to the instructions tothe credit card company you can also send them a certified letter canceling any future shipments. Then if they send you more it would be a case of being shipped unordered merchandise which can then be considered to be a gift which need not be paid for or returned.
