This is nice to know. Thanks for sharing. Now if they'd just get more items I'd like to buy.

Often I wait until multiple are available and have them shipped as one shipping charge. Has this worked for you in the past? I have tried to buy my usual three sets (unc/proof/silver proof) but found that all three come from different warehouses. I know one of the proof sets always is shipped to me from Alabama (the other two I don't remember, but I think one comes from New York or New Jersey. As it stands now, I pay $5 three times for my three items. |

There was a thread here posted the first week of January explaining the program.
I haven't paid for shipping on my last three orders and will be good for the year

I have only gotten one shipping charge when I bundle orders, even when shipped separately.

Oops...correct. I got an email from the Mint explaining the "free after three" thing and assumed I also saw it here....  |

As near as I can tell, only 2 products (Prf ASE and Prf ATB Quarters) that are enrollment products have been released so far. So, I can see how you might have gotten free shipping on 2 orders, but what was the 3rd one? I've been trying to figure out a way to order 3 enrollment products early in the year so that anything else I might order would get free shipping, but I haven't seen a way to do this. |

Did't say "first three"...I said "last three". I have made seven Mint purchases in early January..most of those for 2017 products with the ASE PF's being the only 2018 issue. In checking, only my two (not three) most recent purchases (last week) had free shipping. Edit: I should also add that I purchase coins for my son and most of those 2017 products (except the Clarks) were at his request. Edited by Foxwoods Man

Three Orders Per Year
Place 3 orders in the calendar year to be eligible for free shipping. Qualification will be made when your order ships.
All Purchases Count
All your orders (web, phone, or enrollment) count toward your minimum order total. Enrollment orders receive free budget shipping by default, but must ship before they count towards Loyalty Program qualification.
Free Budget Shipping
Once you qualify for the United States Mint Loyalty Program, you'll automatically receive free budget shipping for all future orders within the continental United States that are placed in the same calendar year.
Restarts Yearly
Total order count for program qualification restarts on January 1st each year. Edited by Foxwoods Man

Did't say "first three"...I said "last three". Okay, my mistake. I just figured that you'd combine orders to reduce shipping costs, but instead figured out how to get free shipping. Enrolled products now get free shipping. So, if there were a way to get 3 enrolled products shipped early in the year (say January), then anything else you order after that would get free shipping. Essentially, you'd get free shipping on EVERYTHING you order from the Mint by doing this. This year, it looks like the only way to do this would be to have been enrolled in 1) the Prf ASE (I'm not, don't collect ASEs), 2) the Prf clad ATB Quarters (I'm not, get these with the proof set) and then 3) ATB Quarter rolls or bags (only want the UNC S and don't want to get a roll to get the one I want). So, I guess I'll have to wait until I get what I am enrolled in (Proof Set, Ag Proof Set, Mint Set) and then see if there's anything I want to order. Edited by BadDog

Ummmm...no Enrollments are not part of the requirement. ALL purchases count...no need for ANY enrollments. You CAN wait for an enrollment(s) but not a necessity. If you do not collect many products then it will still take three orders this year to qualify. Quote:

Waiting for three enrollments to fulfill would be the best option, assuming there are no other products you need to have quickly (or that will sell out) during the first part of the year. But as BadDog pointed out, it all depends on what you collect. At least for me, the more interesting items not included in enrollments come out later in the year, so hopefully I should have accumulated free shipping by then.
