+intolerable Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Well I haven't taken your money and moved to Fiji (only cause paypal is "holding" it, lol). Nothing new to report, I've started the long, exciting process of addressing hundreds of envelopes today in anticipation of having them all ready to go when the RJV2's arrive. Then that leaves me to stuff them and haul them to the PO. I've rented a U-Haul for that On Sunday night I will get in touch with the mint just to make sure everything is on schedule. Either way, I'll post any delays or they've 'been shipped' announcements when I hear back from them. Right now they are scheduled to ship on Dec. 31st which would put them here about Jan. 2nd. As long as everything looks good, they will all leave tiny Helena, Montana on January 3rd enroute to their new homes Anyone care to come over and help me write and then come back and help stuff and ship? There are free coins, pizza, drinks and a movie involved Kinda like a coinvelopepolooza. Looks like I gotta go to town and buy some more sharpies and pick up more priority envelopes, I love my job Just wanted ya to know I hadn't forgot about you Woo hoo! Would love to attempt coinvelopepolooza but I don't think the family is up for that very long drive Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for the offers to "help" Just got a note from the mint that the coins are delayed by about 5 days. They are now suppose to ship on January 4th or 5th. I will get in touch with my 'contact person' on the 4th, to follow up and then post another update on the status. All envelopes are addressed and ready to go, so all I need to do is stuff the coins inside and haul them to the post office tsun Quote Link to comment

They are expected to arrive in Montana Friday or Saturday, and will be packed over the weekend. Provided they do arrive, they will ship directly next week. You're gonna ask the question, why am I posting this? And how do I know? Steph has been called away from the computer for a few days, on a personal matter. Funnel any questions through me, and I'll post responses here. I know I'm pumped to see them. Woot! Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Ok folks, I made a thrid trip into town this evening because I wasn't around when the UPS guy showed up, so I went and picked up the coins this evening, special for you all. I've put my movie in; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and I shall start packaging these things. I'll ship some tomorrow morning and then the rest on Monday. These turned out really nice, I think you'll be very happy. tsun Edited January 5, 2008 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I mailed out all the packages that were priority today (5 coins or more--US only). I finished packaging/postage for the remainging US orders tonight. I will finish packaging all International packages tomorrow (Sunday). All these packages will be mailed out bright and early Monday morning (1/7) and many packages should start arriving to you this upcoming week. If you have a question regarding your order, please send me an email through my profile. This upcoming week is going to be pretty busy for me, I will answer emails as I have free time. Thanks everyone and I hope you like your frogs tsun Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) The last of the orders went out this morning (all international and under 4 coins ordered US). Boy am I glad that is done, lol. kehunt64: got your email and I replied. I forgot to issue the tickets for the drawings when I sent out the priority packages, so I didn't put any in any packages, sorry, I got busy with just trying to get these done. Anyhow, in a day or so, I'll just write out names and drop them in a bucket and draw 2. I'll post the names on my website and get in touch with you via email to let you know you won. There are three of you that are located overseas/Canada that were sent packages via registered mail (you will have to sign for your package). This was done regarding my paypal issue/problem. I will send you emails later tonight. Thanks again for the orders everyone, hope you like the little guys. No more preorders for me, lol! Edited January 7, 2008 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment
