(CNN) -- HealthCare.gov, the problem-plagued federal online site for signing up for insurance under Obamacare, will go down for extended maintenance on Friday night and overnight ahead of Saturday's deadline to have it working for most people, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said.
The Obamacare question: Can the website handle the volume?
The overnight maintenance overnight is set to last from 9 p.m. ET Friday until 8 a.m. ET Saturday. Oh wait a minute, it's the mint's site we're talking about...  |

Is it not perfect timing for on-line shoppers to visit Canada Post during the maintenance and save 15% on nearly all Royal Canadian Mint coins?! Perhaps the Mint knew Canada Post's sale - and decided to lay low from the embarrassment of not having a Black Friday sale. |

I don't think the RCM is capable of being embarrassed about anything they do. |

Is there something about being a crown corp. that makes it harder to subcontract shippers and freighters? With the profit they make I think they can afford to do it. What are they achieving by holding everybody's money for a long period of time?

At the risk of repeating, the delays are not a result of physical shipping. They are production related.
As well, the Mint had some significant water damage last month that impacted their production schedules. Because it's not public knowledge, I can't give details.
They also don't charge customers until items are shipped so I don't see how they are "holding everybody's money for a long period of time".
That said, no matter what the cause, these delays are certainly frustrating.

Some of you may want to try to log into your online mint.ca account. Since the maintenance, I've not been able to sign in. I called, and after an hour on the phone, I think they thought I was typing something wrong. I had no luck being able to sign in or change my password. When they tried on their end, everything worked. I tried on 3 different computers and a tablet, but could not sign in or change my password. I get the message "The provided email is not one of our registered user′s email. Please try again" |

I think, it's OK.
The probably was failure at their end and they fixed it.
Tech support guys everywhere use to say to client that the problem in the typing, while meanwhile fixing the problem (mine college days experience)

My account access has been off and on since their "upgrade". I've reported it to my rep, and he's escalated it to the mint's web team. After more than a week of limited access, I'm starting to loose it a bit.  |
