<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2406721, member: 76863"]I doubt more than 2-3% of these if that are being shipped internationally directly from the mint. Half the world it is the middle of the night for a 12pm launch time, and unless you are paying in Euros or Pounds the price is significantly higher for currency conversion. You can eliminate most of the world just from cost, lack of internet ect. All of that is assuming they had any interest to begin with. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if we say the interest was there and they tried, Amazon works just fine during the holidays and they do more volume in short spurts then than the mint does all year. There are systems perfectly capable of handling the volume of people the mint gets even with products like these. The mint just has an inferior system and no motivation to put a lot of resources in it. They got their sales, it doesn't matter to them who they ship them too as long as they sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
