Does anybody know if it is possible that the Mint will change the shipping date from May 11th to an earlier date? I was hoping to give this coin as a birthday gift, but doesn't look like that will happen.  |

Early birds are definitively a hit but last year's are still available at ~mint price.
Will this one be a hit or miss? :)

I placed my order within 30 minutes of the Master club release - just after midnight April 1. Yet I see people with the coins I ordered and mine are nowhere to be seen. Apparently, the mint does not go first in, first out or first come, first served. I also bought one of the coins from that order last week at the post office. Better still, I have a shipment on the way from the dealer in Winnipeg that contains another of the coins I ordered from the mint on April 2. So that coin went from Ottawa to Winnipeg and back to Ottawa before my mint order made it across town.  . I guess dealers get them first but these shipping delays are getting a little crazy.

I agree total garbage on shipping I too ordered minutes after they went on sale and I am waiting forever it seems. By the way the guy in the previous message is one of my customers and he got his coins right from the post office I made a deal to buy coin #5 & 6 from him earlier.

I guess dealers get them first but these shipping delays are getting a little crazy. With bullion the coins go to foreign dealers first then to Canadian bullion houses. I don't know about NCLT coins but I suspect Master Club members are not as important to the mint as they are portray us to be. Money talks and big deals have priority. The funny part is that Master Club Member sales if combines probably far over shadow any single dealer and that's the problem. They need to treat us as a single entity and not as individual sales. After all dealers cant say anything bad about the mint, but we can talk all the trash we want about coins. The mint seems to be undergoing some changes for the better and for the worse. Me thinks that profits are the primary motive and will hurt the Mint in the short term if these practices are continued. Case and point Toyota was set to be number one in the world until profits began to over shadow quality. VW took the number one spot. With poor service and constant shipping delay and an overabundance of product the Mint may find people will just loose interest. Baseball and hockey cards are a good example of have a market can be totally obliterated in just a short period of time. |

My local Post Office has the bird coin too.
Makes me wonder if the Mint isn't just delaying shipments to push buyers to Canada Post. For example, the Titanic 50 cent coins that I ordered almost 3 months ago has been available from CP in their still available set for more than a month.
