Back on July 20th I ordered a couple of 2014 Matryoshka coins from the RCM for a couple of friends who are Polish. Recently the mint has sent me notice stating that the expected shipping date of these coins would be November 20 2015.
I don't mind a little wait for a coin from time to time however a quarter of a year plus takes the cake, especially for a coin dated 2014!

Has anyone else ever experienced excessive wait times on orders placed with the Mint?

I've had a few 3+ months waits, but my worst was the 5+ month wait time for delivery of two 2010 high-relief "The Sun" silver dollars - ordered mid-October 2009, received late March 2010.

There were production issues with the coin which caused the delay. I called the RCM every couple of weeks to check on the status of my order and to ensure that it was not "lost" or cancelled.

Back in time it was RCM's known issue...even with the coins that haven't had any published production issues or package issues.

Ask CC-Ottawa about 50 cent roll...
2012 Penny set delivered 5 month after sale
1912-1914 BoC coins delivered 6 month after sale

Imo - cancel them, get for your friends Canadian item/coin/set.
Matryoshka has been popular (and still as souvenir) among Russians, and might be Polish people will not be happy with Russian stuff, that back in time for years USSR pushed to them.

lol. Yeah the infamous 2013 50 cent roll. Ordered in Feb and shipped in mid November.

Plenty of examples of 4-6 month waits in 2012 (Dino 1, Venetian Bee Two Loons, etc) and even now, I've been waiting over 2 months for the Flanders Fields sp. ed. dollar.
Rest in Peace
