After all, I feel sorry for any of these cases (I am also a victim of some shipping issues and customer service issues).
All my circulation packages processed for at least four months.
I have a feeling that this discussion is somewhat "useless" (I don't mean to be rude) other than getting rid of exasperation. The Mint, apperantly, has no competitors. They also ignore comments because people continue to buy their coins, even under reputation problems. They have circulation packs that we buy anyways.
About deleting comments: On the reindeer page, I only see negative comments about "market problems" or "bad design". I have never seen a comment about defective product on that site.
I guess we have no choices other than posting in this thread.

Thanks to everyone who wished me luck.

I do agree that we are just small fish and that it doesn't seem like things will change. What's interesting is that while I was on hold and on the line with the person from my credit card company while we were be transferred to the Mint's customer service department...she was confused and asking me why I'm having all these issues with the Mint. I told her...the Mint doesn't care about their clients. I was like...even if you look online, you can see all of these customer complaints.

It's frustrating because yea, it's true...they do basically have a monopoly.

Oh and another interesting thing...I received my Sir Isaac Brock coins today...and it was yet another disappointment. I noticed some discoloration on the coins...and when I pulled them out of the envelope they came in, one of them just fell into my lap because the plastic it came in wasn't even sealed properly. The mint seriously needs some better quality control...

Well, in their opinion, you paid the face value and they own you nothing.

A lot of us are frustrated by how the mint handles shipping, or other things. It does not take a genius to figure out that individuals, be it a MC member or not, are treated less than dealers. IMHO, this makes perfect sense in the past, when sales channels are limited, and the mint had to rely on dealers to push out products. However, in this age, I do not think dealers have any edge any more, especially, with the partnership between RCM and CP. The mint needs to rethink.

I also had one less pleasant incidence with a mint rep on the phone, but overall, it's satisfactory. Mint reps are bound by how much they're trained, allowed to do. Some of them go above and beyond, a few of them have their bad times once in a while. Let's not let isolated incidents blind us. One does tend to focus more on the negatives when become frustrated. Just my 2cents.

I left a comment on the "Fine Silver 5 Coin Set - Farewell to the Penny" since like a month ago...and it has not shown up yet. And on the Kilo coin...it took like a month to show up.

Even if we take them into Radio-Canada (la facture), in my opinion, they still won't do any better.

I love La Facture! one of my favorites (even though I now live in the US). Some pretty nasty situations come up on this program so I doubt our relatively minor problems would make it there... Maybe during segment "La Pub En Question" (The ad in question).
