I have not personally studied their various statuses in any detail. I will re-post a comment from “Two Cents” with some explanations:</span></font></font></p><blockquote><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><p><i>The Mint uses the word “backorder” in a different way that most people are familiar with.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><i>Most companies are sellers, not manufacturers, so when an item is on “backorder,” that means that they have run out of that item, and need to order more from the manufacturer. That may take days or weeks or even months, so the company is telling the customer that he has to wait until the product comes in.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><i>The Mint is both manufacturer and seller, so when they say “backorder,” they mean that the order is backed up until the coins are minted, assembled, and then shipped to the fulfillment center for mailing.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><i>The Mint uses “hold” to mean that they need time to verify that the order is legitimate (in this case, not more than 5 sets per household) and that the customer’s credit card has sufficient funds. “In process” means that verification has been done, and now all it takes is for the Mint to see if there are enough sets ready for mailing.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><i>“In stock and reserved” means that the coins have been assembled into sets and ready to be shipped to the fulfillment center, and that all verifications have been made. At this point, the Mint has ACCEPTED the order — prior to this, the Mint has only RECEIVED the order. Once the set is labeled for mailing, then you will receive a “Shipped” notice and tracking number (though the actual mailing date may be the next day).</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><i>“Suspended” is something new to me. I suppose that is used when a later order is made after the household limit has been reached. I have never seen a “Waiting List” message on the online order receipt or email confirmation, but then, I have never been put on a waiting list.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><i>To sum up, once you see “In process” and/or “In stock and reserved,” you can safely assume that you will get your coins. “Hold” and “Backorder” are used routinely and does not mean that you will not get your coins.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"></p></blockquote><p></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"></span></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
