+LadeBear68 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Does pre-order mean that payment must be made before coin arrives? Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Does pre-order mean that payment must be made before coin arrives? Yes. CF30 Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Not interested in giving you my money to make the coin. Too many people have been victims of little mom and pop geocoin makers. When you are able to sell coins you originally paid for, than I will be interested. Quote
+cache_in_hand Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I too think I will wait and either make a trade or buy one after the coins have been minted. Burned twice here. Quote
HalfBloodPrincess Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Fascinating! ILYK This made me smile! I'm actually Shandscott's wife and half of The Cache Shack. I came up with the coin after seeing the new movie. I'm just shocked that it hadn't been done before We're actually going to Vegas this year to meet both of "The Spock's" Quote
HalfBloodPrincess Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I too think I will wait and either make a trade or buy one after the coins have been minted. Burned twice here. I apologize that this has happened to you. We are new (I'm the other half of The Cache Shack, it's me who comes up with the coin designs) so I'm not too familiar with any other small companies. But I find it deplorable that someone would "burn" another. I can understand your and others trepidation in purchasing "pre-sale" items. I hope over time we will prove more trustworthy. Until then... Happy Caching to you and yours. Quote
ColMustard Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 These coins are awesome! I have bought form you in the past and just pre-ordered these. I cannot wait to get them. Quote

Nothing personal against your design. Quote

Nothing personal against your design. This coin is very beautiful! Great job. I love to look at the designs that others come up with. I meant no offense, I meant using the symbol and adding the Geocacher designation Quote
+dark_onyx1982 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Hey Shannon, I am glad to see you debuting on the GS coin forums. I am even more excited to see your designs doing so well. LadyBear, I understand your concern. I doubt my word means much, but I personally know Shannon and his family. He recently retired from the Navy and has been working on getting their GeoCahcing business off the ground for over a year. A lot of us local cachers have helped him out with designs, input, and ideas. I believe they have their act together and I look forward to seeing more of their designs and I wish their endeavor much success. Quote

Should I go through the number of times people have stood up for others and money was still taken? When people start selling geocoins they should use their own money, not expect the caching community to fund their projects. Quote
+dark_onyx1982 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I empathize with you, I was just speaking from my personal experience with them, outside of the geocoin and geocaching world. Each of use make our own decisions. I would not hesitate to pre-order from The Cache Shack, but I understand others are wary or pre-orders. Either way, no worries. Quote

HalfBloodPrincess Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 There's a slight delay at the mint as we adjusted to add some sandblasting to the coin. I am getting an estimate from the manufacturer on when they will be in. Quote

HalfBloodPrincess Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Just received a message from the coin maker. The coins should be here in a couple days and ready to ship! Quote

+Shandscott Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 Hi, We decided since our Geo Trek coins were so popular when we made them last, that we are doing a re-minting of them this time in Nickel The polished gold sold out during the preorder and antique silver ones sold out soon after. The coins have already been paid for and are in the minting process now. They should be in stock in about 3-4 weeks The coins are $9.99 each, with 100 available at this time Click here to order PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE COINS WE ARE SELLING WILL BE IN NICKEL IN THE SAME DESIGN AS BELOW Here are the pics of the design These are what the previous coins looked like made Quote
+Eartha Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Merging with the original thread, remember, one coin, one thread. Thank you. Quote
+Shandscott Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 Merging with the original thread, remember, one coin, one thread. Thank you. Thank you! I couldn't find the old thread Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Pre-paid for 2. So when are these due to ship? Quote
+drneal Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 are these the same metal as the original? ILYK Quote
+Shandscott Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 Pre-paid for 2. So when are these due to ship? I paid for them on Monday morning. I'll get with my contact and see how long it will take. Hopefully sooner than usual since the die has already been cast. I will update with the answer ASAP! Quote
+GeocoinGuy Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Should I go through the number of times people have stood up for others and money was still taken? When people start selling geocoins they should use their own money, not expect the caching community to fund their projects. Your opinion has been duly noted, and there is a thread pinned for that very thing. There is also an approved vendors list on the Geocoin Homepage. If you don't want to preorder, then don't. End of story. Have a nice day! ~J Quote
+Shandscott Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Pre-paid for 2. So when are these due to ship? Just heard back. The mint is closed at the beginning of May so they should be finished around May 8th and then we wait for them to ship them here which takes about a week. Quote
+Shandscott Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 are these the same metal as the original? ILYK These are in Nickel plating as the other editions were in antique silver and gold plating. I placed a limited amount on them, 50 gold and 100 antique silver We did not want to change those edition amounts because it wouldn't be right. There will be 100 of the nickel ones made. Quote
+Shandscott Posted May 4, 2010 Author Posted May 4, 2010 These coins should be finished this week and hopefully will be in hand next week. I will let you know when I ship the pre-orders out. They're selling like hotcakes Thanks everyone for your purchase Quote
+Shandscott Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 Coins arrived in the mail today. They're beautiful. Hope to be posting a pic tonight and will start shipping in the morning Happy Caching Quote

+rsfish1 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I have been trying to contact the Cache Shack for a couple weeks now with no response about an order. Anyone else have another way to contact them other then through their store or profile? Quote
+alldatndensum Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I ordered from your website the new nickel geotrek coin on Nov. 24. I have heard nothing back from you. The site says these are in stock. Are they? Or, am I going to have to wait for a repressing? Quote
