<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 570917, member: 17256"]So after several problems early on there is a new one. It has been almost a month since I placed my order at the mint for the silver territory quarters and dollar set, both in stock and ready to ship. Looking around on fleabay I see that there are plenty of silver territory quarters available and not only that but people have had theirs long enough to send them out to get slabbed, get them back and put them up on the bay! Since these are readily available I decided to just cancel my order if it hadn't shipped and pick it up at my local dealer the next time I go in. So I call and get a young lady who was very nice, I asked her first about the status of my order, she said it was still being processed, it should go out "soon" and then allow 2-3 weeks for shipping! I asked her who they ship with and she said FEDEX, I told her I didn't know FEDEX had a 2-3 week delivery service, she kind of stumbled around that question.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, a two month or more turn around for coins that have been and are readily available in the secondary market was getting less and less appealing to me. I asked to just cancel my order, when she asked me why I told her that I was going to buy it in the secondary market, because people have had theirs long enough to send them out and get them slabbed I should be able to get one on my own quicker. She said I had to be careful of fakes! I told her I doubt anyone was making counterfeit territory quarters in fake NGC slabs! Only after much typing she asked me if she could put me on hold to see exactly how to cancel the order. When she came back on she said that there was good news that my package was sitting there waiting for FEDEX to pick it up. And since it was already processed for shipping and my card has been charged for the payment they couldn't cancel the order and if I wanted to I should return it when I get it. I told her that was an amazing coincidence that just at the exact moment I asked to cancel the order it happens to get dropped in the bin for shipping, before I asked to cancel it was processing, after I asked it was ready to ship. But I must say, unlike most others I have talked to she was nice, had somewhat of a clue, and at least acted like she gave a hoot. So I had used my debit card and any charges show up on my online statement IMMEDIATELY when a charge is run as a hold or pending. So far no email from the mint with shipping info, (guess fedex was late right?) and no charge on my card today. ANyone want to bet me that today when I call they will tell me it is in "process" and will be shipping sometime "soon" and to allow for 2-3 weeks for delivery? The only thing I am ever going to try to order from the mint in the future would be rare issues like the lincoln 95% copper set, where any inconvenience or problems will be compensated for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
