The Mint Tries To Keep My ASE Orders This Year Also!

I believe I told you the same thing last year when you had this problem. When you order the CC information is attached to the order and when it is processed for shipping they bill the CC using the information that was current on the card when the order was placed. Updating you card online merely changes the information used for future purchases it does NOT go back and update the information stored with previously placed orders. For that you MUST contact customer Service and have them go into each order and update the information.

This topic has been discussed for many years because people keep having this problem.

Sometimes on items that they know are going to be on hold for a long time before they are processes the mint will even warn you to make sure that your card will not expire before the orders are processed because your order will be cancelled when it tries to process and can't. I believe they also warn you of the same thing when you place a subscription order. I will agree though that they should make it a lot clearer that updated information does not update open unprocessed orders and that you should contact CS to have them update those orders.

@coinguy - maybe that should be my new signature - "The Mint's non-MVP!"

@conder - thanks again for this reminder. But, of course, since I was assured quite a few times last year that the entire computer system was being overhauled for 2012 to alleviate the problems (granted it was not a CC issue last year) - I admit I was expecting more.

Whoa! I just checked - The mint website says they shipped my order today!

Is this verification the same as when, last year, the website verified my order and later cancelled it?

Will the order have all my sets?

Will the sets be new items like I was told they would be and not returned rejects?

Will all the coins be present?

Will we ever know how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a a Tootsie Pop?




BTW - amazing! The spellchecker knows the terms "Tootsie Roll" and "Tootsie Pop"!

edited for grammatical error

Great! Good luck.

My sets arrived about 20 minutes ago (had to look them all over!). Each ASE seems to be an absolutely beautiful specimen and I can find nothing wrong with any of them!

I want to THANK all of my CCF family for their moral support and say a special



to those who again showed what great people are here by offering me their extra sets if mine did not come in. You are amazing friends!


I guess the squeaky gear DID get oiled this year

Now that you have that out of the way, get your Round 6 guess in!

YAY!!


(Also, Earle, when I was in fifth grade my science class did the "how many licks . . . " experiment and the answer is "an average of 47 with outlying numbers of 28 and 63, or, if the kid who crunched through the last layer when he got the very first teensy taste of chocolate is ignored, 34 and 63." I memorized this just so I could be the smart aleck who actually answers when the question comes up.)

Congratulations, and it takes 3 licks (and one bite).
