<p>[QUOTE="ClairHardesty, post: 1298452, member: 34169"]<b>Shipping 100K sets in 27K+ orders will take some time.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Folks, there are any number of reasons that orders might have been cancelled by the mint but simply placing five orders to get five sets isn't one of them. CC issues, timing of the orders, invalid ship to addresses, etc can gum up the works. I have five separate orders and all are "in stock and reserved" and all have CC charges. My last order was 38346XXX at 2:10PM ET. Today, only my first order, placed at 12:14 has been tagged as shipped but I believe that even that one won't actually get to UPS until tomorrow, for delivery on Thursday. My second order, placed at 12:34, and the others are still in process. This is typical for a mass shipment by PBGS. My track order history goes back to July of 2000 and has some 65+ orders. There have been times in the past three years where the CC charges expired before product shipped and they had to be re-entered (PBGS does a hold/finalize method, like a restaurant, instead of a single final charge like they should). This is all SOP for the mint/PBGS. If your CC has a charge on it and your CC company hasn't raised a red flag then everything is OK and your order will ship and the charge will finalize. It is all very exasperating for those who aren't used to the way the mint operates and still seems unnecessary for those of us who are but it is what it is and it will all work out. I initially thought it would take PBGS well over a week to get all 100,000 sets out but now it looks like they might do better than I thought. I will still be surprised if they get it all done by Friday night, especially if they observe Veteran's Day has a work holiday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
