You know what's funny? I've sent 2 orders to NGC over the past 3 weeks, so they're getting my business. Their $20/coin economy service is faster...
Haha! True story.
They've never been so backed up from what I can remember. I just tried to call and actually got a busy signal! That's NEVER happened! Pretty sure...
