After many page reloads in two browsers, I got a confirmation number. Next time I'll know to sign in before the opening bell.

I'm done too. They failed to mention their phones have been down for maintenance the entire time too.

Quote: I'm somewhere in the 8 pages of billing information. You would think that they would streamline taking my money into one page. They do. Open an account and give them your cc info. Go to the product page and place your order. Confirm and you're done.

The web now works with blazing speed. I now take back all bad words spoken against the US Mint.

Yep, it is back up, try it again, people. Worked like a charm since everyone got kicked off. Good luck all! Quote:
In other news, I got my teeny tiny 4"x4" box from Fidelitrade this morning, in the mailbox, no lie, just dumped in there. Not even sure if they came this morning or not. Entering the tracking number shows it was delivered on Monday, and pushed all the way in the back of the mailbox (!)
The Fidelitrade coins are the best coins I've received, so obvious from the earlier 68 & 68PL APMEX graded set, the metal flow hazing is noticeably absent, this was the set I should've sent instead. Not sure if the hazing got progressively stronger as the die struck more coins, but this seems to be the prevailing wisdom. Fidelitrade must've gotten the luck of the draw, since all five coins are superior to the other sets I've received. Guess these will be the keeper coins.

Crazy that these companies took such risks on shipping. Dillion Gage required signature confirmation by member at time of delivery.

Got right on and placed my orders very quickly. Did the "Quick Check-Out" and they confirmed my order directly.
Looks like about 20,000 have sold in the first 2 1/2 hours!

I also got my order through. I tried calling, my office computer and my Droid simultaneously. The phone lines were a constant busy. It took about 30 minutes with the website even though I had set up quick checkout. The quick checkout really helped. In the end, only the Droid was able to get through to the end of the checkour process.
