US Mint follies

From the Mint site:

"February 7, 2008 - Due to the severe weather in the Tennessee area,
the United States Mint is currently not shipping from its fulfillment
facility in Memphis for the next one to two weeks. Expedited shipping
will not be available until further notice. We apologize for this
inconvenience. Please be assured that we will ship your orders as soon
as possible. "

So it rains in Tennessee and the fulfillment center shuts down?
Good thing the Mint is a monopoly otherwise they'd be out of business.
What kind of idiot puts all their eggs in one basket?
I'm writing to my Congressman to complain!

Rain? There were tornados in the area. Would you drive to work in a
tornado?

Doesn't answer the question of why the imbeciles in charge of the Mint
put all their eggs in that one basket.

Because in the grand scheme of things, these eggs don't spoil. Who
the hell cares about a delay in the delivery of a few coins from the
mint? The coins will eventually arrive. No one suffered any damage
because of the delay. It's a minor inconvenience to a handful of
people. Get some perspective.

Just what the Mint needs, an empty-headed apologist.
If the Mint is going to take people's hard earned money, it damn well
better give good service.
Trouble is is that they just don't give a **** because they're a
monopoly.
Then along comes a boob like you to tell them it's OK to screw
collectors.
**** OFF!

Damn. Here's a guy who's apoplectic because a mint location closed
down for a few days due to a tornado and wants the mint to set-up
alternative sites for distribution in case there's another natural
disaster.

He's worried about the gummint taking his hard-earned money and not
shooting out proof sets or whatever it is timely enough, but doesn't
have enough sense to realize that setting up an alternative
distribution site for proof sets would be about as expensive and
practical as building a bridge to nowhere in Alaska. Whose
hard-earned money would go into building another mint distribution
site?

Give us back the oxygen you've been using, RF. It's wasted on the
brain-dead.

You are such an imbecilic ****tube I hardly know where to start.
So renting a warehouse, hiring a dozen workers and installing a
computer and printer would cost billions huh?
Better stop sniffing paint asswipe, it's destroying what little you
have left of your brain.

something on the cheap?

A delay can cost an additional shipping charge or, if the item sells
out, buying at a higher price.

I placed an order a few month ago. Some of the items were shipped,
but one was backordered. The backorder was extended multiple times
to beyond the expiration date of the credit card used for the order.
The mint cancelled that item from the order without notifying me.

I saw that the item was cancelled only because I checked the order
status shortly after the most recent backorder date. Fortunately,
the item had not sold out. I reordered it and will pay a second
per order shipping charge. If it had sold out, based on an ebay
"Buy It Now" price, it would have cost me about an additional $60.

Tony,
The tornado lasted one night; it here in north Alabama too. However,
people did go to work the next day.
