<p>[QUOTE="ClairHardesty, post: 1299198, member: 34169"]For those of you who don't order from the mint on a regular basis, one to two weeks is the standard goal (not promise) for shipping items from stock. Paying the $12.95 is not only to pay for next day air but is also supposed to shorten the up front time to 2 to 3 days, but again, for in stock items. We honestly don't know if these sets were in stock on the 27th. They might have been but even if they were, the mint still had to vette our orders to prevent household limit violations. Then, to honor the FIFO promise (which they appear to be doing) they have to send valid orders to fulfillment in cleared batches for picking and shipping. As someone who has been ordering from the website since July 2000 (order #4275XXX), I think they are doing as well as PBGS has ever done. That doesn't mean I am totally satisfied, I would like to see PBGS bounced, I think they are the worst fulfillment contractor ever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
