Quote: Same bat time, same bat channel Thanks Cascade. Out of 4 trying to snag these, my daughter was the only one successful; but like a lot, there are 2 CC charges. Things were much more simple in the 60's when I first started ordering from the mint.....even by snail mail.

7:30 just seems to be the time that stuff shows up on the mint website that has been previously "unavailable". My guess is they crunch the inventory numbers at night and see what the true numbers are and then sell what they have left. They probably cancel a few duplicate orders, too.

Well for the mint to make the statement that the web site issues did not have anything to do with the launch of these sets and those customers that placed the orders at catalog.usmint.gov did not experience any difficulties I beg to differ. I logged on before noon and refreshed right when my computer stuck 12:00 and did not get checked out until the final seconds of 12:08 with several reloads and page not available......just like every one else. But this shows what page I was on: Dear Debra, We are currently processing your recent catalog.usmint.gov order. You should receive a confirmation E-mail in the next 24 hours with more details. This was sent to my email at 12:09. Then this email came: Dear Debra, Thank you for your recent order, but unfortunately we are not able to fulfill it at this time. Please call our Customer Service Center at your earliest convenience 1-800-872-6468 So I may get my order and I may not. Like a lot of you I'm not going to get excited until I have the package in my hand. Good Luck to everybody~!

I had MCM do my order for me, and I now see two pending charges which I assume are for the authorization and the actual shipment which seems to be processing fine. Who else fell for the MCM offer on here? I'm sure there are some who had MCM order the sets but now decide to keep them to themselves. A bit cheeky, but okay legally as no documents were signed. But I won't do that...

Well all I can say and it will sound abrasive, is that all of you that got to process multiple orders didn't do anything to help the cause. I was trying to order 1 and it didn't happen

Don't get sore stev18, this was a bloodbath situation and would have been one even if only the big dealers and their shills were buying. The collectors who were able to get a few orders were lucky plain and simple and it would not have effected what happened one way or the other if all of them only got 1 order. Ok, maybe it would have been on for an extra 2 seconds but still within a margin of error. This was a slot machine experiance plain and simple. Be ready tomorrow and hopefully you can get one

Quote: Was able to check out this morning at 7:31 on the two that were in my cart from yesterday. Credit card shows charge as "pending". I actually have an order number, too!
Just spoke with a mint rep., and she is unaware that any orders from yesterday are being filled. She ask if I wanted to put my email in the "remind me". Told her I already had and wasn't notified. Said again she wasn't aware of any orders being filled. Just about what I expected....

This is probably a lousy couple of days to be a USMint phone rep.

Just checked my account... still shows two pending charges from the USMint. But my order is still processing on the US Mint site... so, I guess that's a good thing.
Seems to me my card got immediately charged (not pending) last time around on the last C&C set.

My account still has the two pending charges also. Any time I've ordered from the mint (and many other places) the charge is pending until the item is shipped. But even when my order gets shipped, the other pending charge isn't scheduled to drop off until the 15th.
