[QUOTE="dreamer94, post: 225777, member: 6449"]I think that's a problem right there. Every other issue I've purchased from the mint has been announced well in advance so people could plan for it.

Why not simply void the orders of the violators (and consider banning them from future mint purchases)? Why must those of us who followed the rules be penalized? Finally, and this is what really made me angry, the mint sales staff took the position yesterday that my subscription was cancelled on line, and therefore it must have been cancelled by me, even though I know I hadn't cancelled it.
