Apparently the 'genius' PR firm that convinced Coke to change their recipe found work with the United States Mint... /sarcasm off/

The website for the bag company shows that they have canvas bags made in the US. They probably cost $2 instead of 50 cents.

Not sure why they wasted money and resources shipping these separately. Wouldn't it make more sense to put a pallet of bags next to the person who tapes up the boxes and have them drop one in each box?

Just got my credit card statement and noticed an odd charge for $4.95 from the U.S. Mint. Took another look at the packing slip that came with my "free" bag (that I didn't ask for and don't particularly want) and, sure enough, I was charged shipping for it.

Grrr...

Shipping is charged one time. You will get your order from the Mint without the shipping charge.

I was overweight in my orders for the 2013 LEPS so I cancelled one order of 2 sets. They had already shipped my lovely bag (that I will never use) and charged me the $4.95 for the order shipping costs...

I just got an email confirming the refund of the $4.95 I was charged.

BTW they started shipping on Friday (3/7) so a bunch will be going out this week...
