+AtwellFamily Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 I have a number of orders where people just completed the quantities and not the name and email address. Please think back and let me know. If you double up I will catch it and ask if you really want 2 orders. Quote Link to comment

If you double up I will catch it and ask if you really want 2 orders. I am guilty of at least one of those...the second time I realized where the name and info was supposed to go. Sorry! I only want one butterfly. Quote Link to comment

+AtwellFamily Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Less than 12 hours and there will be a new ICON for the Morpho Butterflies 2008. Quote Link to comment
+~tasia~ Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Less than 12 hours and there will be a new ICON for the Morpho Butterflies 2008. The price is kind of high to me, considering that you are saving a little by using the same die. Aren't these about $3 more than last years? edit - looked at invoice - $9.17 w/ shipping for one. I ordered 12 coins (4 sets) and paid $110 total. Edited June 15, 2008 by ~tasia~ Quote Link to comment

The price is kind of high to me, considering that you are saving a little by using the same die. Aren't these about $3 more than last years? 1. RE version was $11.50 2. I sold sets last year and gave people the option of singles this year. (Based on feedback from customers.) Larger reasons: 3. The cost from the mint per coin has gone up. 4. The cost of shipping has increased once maybe twice since the first release. The last two are the biggest reason and infact make the coins more expensive from the mint this year than last. In fact the shipping of a coin just over a year ago was .58 and now I can't sent one for less than 1.62. All this does not include the additional indirect cost of shipping coins either. In any case, thanks to all who have ordered. Mike Quote Link to comment

I knew postage had went up once since last year's version, and I knew the mint had raised their prices, but I guess I didn't realize that it was enough to be almost $2.50 per coin difference. I will order a couple still, but now I have to choose one or two of the four. Quote Link to comment
+The_Geomonkeys Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 So glad to see you decided to do another run of these. I also really appreciate the ability to do a reservation so I don't have to worry about it selling out while working a swing shift! HA! Thanks so much...can't wait to get them. Quote Link to comment

+The_Geomonkeys Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Any updates on this coin? According to the website they are expected to release on Jul-18-2008. Is this still accurate? Quote Link to comment
+Lazer Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I clicked the order link at the top of the thread and it seems broken. I went to the website too and didn't see how to order any? Quote Link to comment
+The_Geomonkeys Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Lazer, unfortunately pre-orders are complete and none are available to order at this time. They may have some extras when they arrive but it is unknown if there will be any for sale. I'm sure someone has ordered extras and would be willing to work out a trade with you. Also, I sent an email to Mike and he let me know that they have not arrived yet and he will be contacting the mint on Monday (tomorrow) to find out what's going on and get an update.

I should have these July 28. Bad news is I'll be traveling that week. I'll verify they are good and send invoices so I can ship August 2. Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 I guess I should have knocked on wood when I commented about delays at the mint. Issues with putting the butterflies together has pushed these back a week. These will ship from mint on Aug 1. I will send invoices when I know they ship. email to customers will go out later today. I can't update my site from the road so it will not be updated. Quote Link to comment

I don't plan to activate them anytime soon...anyone know what the new icon looks like? It is a green looking Morpho, based on the fact that most of the butterflies this year were green with copper. I am working on some updates to the site tonight. It should be there tomorrow if all goes well. Quote Link to comment
