Says one thing means another

Greetings all speed dialers;

Went to check the status of my order today and the status said it was on hold which was explained earlier in a journal. (all orders are placed on hold) then looking at the bottom it stated backordered, expected ship date 11/11/2011. (is that an omen ... 11 11 11)

the lady at the Mint told me that if it states backordered it will NOT ship before 4 - 6 weeks from yesterday, period. She then informed me that they were instructed at 4:00 pm to start putting the rest of the incoming orders on a waiting list. Then she said if you got an order in before the 4:00 pm EST time you should be good. I know the key word there is "should" but that's all she would say.

I also have to echo Gary's words on the way this was

handled !!!!

Also on another note I don't know how many of you received the offer from ModernCoinMart on purchasing these sets for them for a $60.00 profit per set back to you but I did received such offer but did not participate in it. I am sure there were many who probably did participate and by doing so hurt the chances of the common collector. I don't know about everyone else but $60 or $300 bucks to screw a fellow collector seems wrong. They actually wanted you to place an order for the max (5 sets) for them.

This is the second time I have received such email from MCM.

Oh well, I guess there's a catch and a crawl for everyone.....

I truly hope all of the regular collectors out here get at least one set.
