Tracking to my folks in Rhode Island shows Tuesday as well. Then they will sit there for an undetermined amount of time before they are sent over to me in England.

Mine arrived and the Mint is processing a refund for the S&H fee.  No damage to the contents.

My set arrived today as well, but to my surprise it was packaged in a thin plastic bag with no wrapping or protection whatsoever. Unsurprisingly, the cardboard box that encloses the P&D cards was dented. In the 13 years that I've been buying from the Mint, they have always packaged my order in a cardboard box. I rate the new fulfillment center

 , College Barbers is Correct, I Too received My Uncirculated Mint Set, Second package received in a " white soft bubble wrap envelope ".  Dented and Heavily Bruised, Some collector's Collect All Original Packaging, This Is Not Acceptable !!!!..  In My Many, Many Years involved with the U S Mints, The Quality of The Quality Control, IMO, Needs Quality Control..... Many Poor Packaging decisions, All The While, Higher Prices, Along with a Poor Quality Over-Sight.

I received mine in the same bag. The box was intact, the holders are straight, and the coins are untouched. No sweat, they are headed for the appropriate Dansco albums when I have time.

I received my two in a standard mint shipping box. I assume because it was a shipment/subscription of two?

I received my two sets a couple of days ago. It is interesting to note that for the first time (as far as I know), the brown boxes featured colored ink for a Stars & Stripes design. The coins are gorgeous, proof-like. I only opened one; the other is for my Mint set collection, and I'll leave it sealed for now.
