[QUOTE="Bodie, post: 1303023, member: 30332"]I have the same order number. 4:02 is the timestamp. For what it's worth, I spoke at length (about 20 minutes) last week with a Mint worker, who went into great detail about the process and the problems. He all but guaranteed that I'd get my order...he did mention after Thanksgiving, though. He couldn't "promise" the sets, but he told me I should not worry about it. "In process" means you've been screened and checked (credit). I doubt the Mint wants to waste time and effort doing this if they don't have the sets on-hand. He said that if those who ordered before 4:45 pm are okay (provided no other issues), and those who ordered after 4:45 pm are on the waiting list. He said that the Mint may not even have all the coins on-hand at the warehouse, where the sets are collated (which causes even more delays). A LOT of orders were canceled because the buyers broke the 5-quantity limit rule. So it follows that a lot of people on the waiting list will also get their orders filled, eventually. Anyway, I got way more information than I ever expected. He said the Mint was aware of what was going on at Ebay, by the way, and they continue to vigorously screen orders for violators of the 5-quantity limit.[/QUOTE]
