BiBo Pillar of the Community Canada 1189 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 1:56 pm @allspice - I ordered on March 22nd. I guess the PO manager did it on March 28th. That is the date CP system allow them to place their order. Report this Post to the Staff
allspice Pillar of the Community Canada 746 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 2:10 pm @ BiBo, thanks for letting me know. I wonder how they determine which PO's get their orders right away, which ones get back-ordered, and which ones go "off sale." First come, first serve? Report this Post to the Staff

aswitzer Valued Member Canada 126 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 3:56 pm Damn, I went to every PO in Thunder Bay and only one said they got the coin, but that coin was reserved for someone else. So lame being out of southern ontario. Report this Post to the Staff
tristen1230 Pillar of the Community Canada 516 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 4:28 pm @aswitzer - Your not the only one. Is Canada post aloud to reserve coins for you. If you call before it is released and say I want 2 can they keep it in the back until you pick it up? Report this Post to the Staff
aswitzer Valued Member Canada 126 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 4:33 pm I went to almost every Canada Post in Thunder Bay before April 9th and also over the last two days. Some took my name, some seemed very hesitant. Honestly, I think the Canada Post people here are buying the coins themselves. There seems to be a lot of shifty business going on whenever I talk to one of the employees. Report this Post to the Staff
tristen1230 Pillar of the Community Canada 516 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 4:38 pm @aswitzer - Well Canada Post broke a lot of rules this release like releasing information way before release. I know at my post office she had no problem showing me the book that only CP gets way before release. Letting people reserve before release which I think is unfair and possibly not aloud. When I went to the CP yesterday one of the CP ladies said she went on the website and missed out on April 2nd so I have a feeling if they get them no one has a chance. She will probably get it. Are CP employees aloud to buy coins from their office? Report this Post to the Staff
aswitzer Valued Member Canada 126 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 4:48 pm I am sure it would be very easy for CP employees to get the coins. Of the (approx. 10) post offices in Thunder Bay, only two of them had employees that had even heard of the coin prior to April 2nd. The other post offices only had the march order book. Congrats to those who was able to get them from their local post offices. Guess I will just keep my fingers crossed that CC&C honors their issue price customers. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 4:56 pm i saw my post office's order sheet, and only 2 was allowed to order, no confirmed shipping date for the butterfly's. They did receive the canopy, and the mask, and the subscription coins, but no idea when butterflies will land or even if, but they were confirmed for 2. Report this Post to the Staff
BiBo Pillar of the Community Canada 1189 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 5:18 pm CP employees can buy what ever coins that they like. I talked to a supervisor at a pretty large CP outlet in GTA. He said they ordered 10 butterfly coins. But more than half was reserved for inside employees. And they also not sure if they will get all 10 or sometime their order will be cut by the CP distribution center. Edited by BiBo 04/10/2013 5:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tristen1230 Pillar of the Community Canada 516 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 5:24 pm @BiBo - I need to get a job at CP. At least I would not miss out on many coins. Report this Post to the Staff
BiBo Pillar of the Community Canada 1189 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 5:28 pm Same thought. :). But at the big outlet. Many small POs did not get the butterfly coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrpiedfort Pillar of the Community Canada 663 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 5:29 pm Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I need to get a job at CP. Report this Post to the Staff
