Does anyone else here have trouble with the Mint's Driect Ship Program?

I ordered a box of 2010 Native American dollar coins, and also, a mint sewn bag of 2010 halves, last month, and I have still not received them. The reason? The Mint keeps pushing the date futher and further away as it gets close to the set date for them to ship. Like on Saturday, I checked the U.S. Mint's site a couple times, and the first time it said "Available for shipping March 24, 2010" then within a few hours time, it changed to the 27th of March, then yesterday, it was at the 28th, and now, it is currently at the 29th What the heck gives? I suppose later on today, the date for shipping will be the 30th? Then higher?

I called them a few times over this month, since the middle of this month, and all they kept saying was "We're sorry. We were having trouble filling orders, because we are minting so many different coins. They will be shipping out on the said date for sure" for about 10 or more of their little "dates" they have on their site, ago.

Is anyone else here having this problem? Because, I am about to just get a refund. Do I have a better chance of just going to a local bank, or aren't they getting them either? I ask this, because I know some people here said they got some of the 2010 Native American dollars. So, I'm very confused about this date game the Mint is playing.

I ordered 2 rolls of halves, proof and circ DAV coins and a $250 box of Native American coins through the direct ship program about 2 weeks ago. It arrived in 2 shipments The first was the halves about a week after I ordered and the DAV and direct ship arrived 2 days later in the same box. I had received an e-mail stating they were on back order until the 24th of March, but they came anyway.

 

....they're probably NOT finished checking them for taylor errors. :eating:

 

WHAT? Our USMint possibly taking time with a delivery? Impossible. Why everyone knows that organization is the most honest, trustworthy, sincere, fast, efficient, etc. branch of our government. :whistle:
I've always liked it when I place an order and it comes in 3 different boxes at 3 different times.

 

Basically the mint will ship it to you when they feel like it!!...LOL

 

All the Mint people are busy training the new government bureaucracy on the proper way to handle health care.

 

....and don't forget all the wasted cardboard! can they GET a bigger box for

the coins that they put them in?
