Get this, the post office didn't recognize my address, yet they deliver here daily. You may end up with the same problem. Free shipping to your door though if you succeed. Once I got stiffed by CP online, I walked into the main branch in town the next day. This set was making me work for it let me tell ya. No line up, I can see the set on the back counter display, great I'm in. Not yet. The teller is having issues with the cash register and is on the phone with some IT guy. He was alone and was very sorry for the inconvenience. Well I wasn't leaving there without the set, so I waited patiently until they fixed the problem. Now there is a 1 per household limit online. They had 2 sets. Probably were not aware of the limit, and I took both of them. Not so fast, now the laser scanner isn't working to read the UPC code. Back on the horn with IT.  . Am I ever going to actually get these things.  . They got that fixed quick enough, and I dashed back to my not so legally parked car to find....no ticket! Only thing that went my way that day.  . Get this set sooner than later. They won't be around very long. Remember this set has the circulation loonie strike and the 50 cent piece, the other gift sets don't. P.S. The teller told me they could only get 2 sets on the order. I don't know if the satellite branches got any at all! I may have gotten the only 2 in town.  One for moi, the other for a far away friend.  . "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

Let me get this straight. You all can buy coins at the post office?
What a great idea

1. You all can buy coins at the post office? Yes.  . What...you can't? The best way to save shipping, and walk out, coins in hand. For years and years, this is how I picked up my Specimen sets. Full mint price still, but quite convenient most of the time. A 10 minute walk has 2 satellite branches in my area. They have started limiting the displays lately. They used to have all the stuff from the mint, but they cut way back. Still better than dropping them all together. I must say, looking at coins while waiting in line at the post office didn't break my heart.  "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

Nice perks eh trig. keith, you need to start a rebellion, and get with the times. The United States Postal Service is there to help you remember. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

My PO said they where going to get 8 sets in the first time I went in, so I gave them my name and 2 days later they called and said we have them in. Went in got mine and asked for another for a friend , no problem. After a couple of days I thought I would get another so I called to see what was left, they told me 5 so they only sold 1 , asked if they could put 1 away for me till I can get in and get it this week, sure we can. I think I will crack this one open for each denomination.

Wow mcshilling, 8 sets. If every PO got 8 sets, only 6250 post offices would get them, and that leaves none for the mint or CCC. There has to be more than that number of post offices country wide, so I bet more than a few got none. Crack that 2nd one open for the binder. If I had 2, I'd be considering it, and I'm not shy with the scissors, but you may regret it with these ones. Your call, you'll be happy either way. Let's hope the remaining 49,995 sets find good homes too.

Not all PO order coins in, the second biggest one here has a few coins but did not order this set.
