<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7540508, member: 103207&quot;]Just to add my input to this question about the mint shipping system.&nbsp; Being notified that your order was shipped doesn&#039;t always mean it was actually shipped.&nbsp; All it means is they have processes your order and it waiting to be picked up by the US post office.&nbsp; Sometimes the post office won&#039;t pick it up for a few days to as long as a week.&nbsp; The first time it happened to me was many years ago and it took over two weeks from the time I was told it was shipped before I actually received my order.&nbsp; I&#039;ve run into the same thing at a major auction house.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been notified my coin was shipped but when I go to check it&#039;s progress I find out the auction house has only notified the post office they have a shipment ready to be picked up.&nbsp; The post office isn&#039;t going to send a truck to pick up one item.&nbsp; They may have an arrangement that they will pick up a group of something like 100 orders at the same time.&nbsp; The US mint won&#039;t run to the post office with one proof set.&nbsp; The post office may have a requirement that they will only pick up the shipment with the number of items reaches 100.&nbsp; I assume the same thing is what happens at the auction house.&nbsp; Although, I think they should wait to tell you when the post office takes ownership&nbsp; of the order but, as long as you understand that telling you the order was shipped doesn&#039;t actually mean the post office has your order.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
