Guys, these "Backorder" emails are not shipping notices. They are "Order shipment updates".

I'm actually glad they send them out. Otherwise one is left in the dark, wondering whatever happened to that coin I ordered.

For example: At the end of June I ordered the "$20 Fine Silver Coin - Maple Leaf Impression". You know the one with all the tiny silver maple leaves and the enamelled big red Maple leaf in the center.

On September 21, I received the dreaded "Backordered" email. But at least I knew I was not forgotten.

This past Friday, I got a "Shipping confirmation" email, and low and behold the coin will be delivered today!

So the delay was not too long after all.

Needless to say we're looking forward to seeing the coin.

anyone need piedfort? I have 10 for sale at issue price before I return to MInt, meet at Toronto Downtown, thanks!



Any reason why you are returning the 10 coins to the Mint?

Did you buy too many?

@ pocket change 50

Unfortunately there is no way to predict when the backordered coin will be shipped.

I'm still waiting for the "Dreamcatcher", which I ordered in May. I received the dreaded shipping update for it over a month before the I got the backordered notice for the "Maple Leaf Impression". Makes no sense!

Anyway I hope you get your Piedfort soon.

I gave in and ordered one. After seeing the real coin in pictures I started liking it more and more. I love the different finishes and multiple maple leaves. I find the single maple leaf design too boring . This will be my first piedfort

CP haven't been the most reliable in fulfilling orders though - my Autumn Bliss coin order went through but was later cancelled because they oversold.

Got mine today. It'll make a nice addition to my collection. I think it looks really nice on an angle when all the finishes hit the light and you can see everything. I'm starting to really enjoy this coin.

I think you have to direct ship the coin from CanadaPost. Ether go down there or call in to order. That'll ensure your order gets processed.

@chubbycheeks

You can really use "direct ship" by phone? Which # should I call?

I was under the impression that you couldn't pay over the phone and you physically had to go to the post office and pay right now if you wanted to use their "direct ship" service.
