<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1905204, member: 19065&quot;]It has a lot to do with <b>a)</b> the Mint taking a cheap opportunity to use others to advertise itself rather than produce a handsome bag befitting it&#039;s usual mantra of quality that collectors may admire and enjoy using, and <b>b)</b> the absurd amount of waste they&#039;ve shown by shipping a bag 2nd Day Air UPS Signature Required, which takes into account materials (boxes, invoices, labels, sealing boxes), human labor at PBGS preparing these parcels and the whole network of UPS or FedEx+USPS (fuel and labor costs) to deliver them, for what amounts to partial order fulfillment ahead of actual requested products being sent.</p><p><br /></p><p>In a matter of weeks this whole shipping procedure will be repeated again to deliver coins. Not only will they deliver some orders bags first, then coins, but will also partially fulfill large orders shipping clad and silver and gold all separately over the next month or so.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>It&#039;s waste multiplied</u>, and all the fees are built into the costs of the products customers order from them. The bag may be reuseable, but many won&#039;t use it in the first place, and all the packing materials are bound for trash bins or immediate recycling.&nbsp; If everyone could learn to exercise some patience, let them mint and prepare and fulfill complete orders, rather than institute a policy of partial order fulfillment, there would be less resentment and overall waste. I&#039;ve cut that waste by cancelling my bags across two separate orders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
