US Mint actually doing something about shipping charges

I called today to cancel my 4 subscriptions because I'm tired of the $4.95
whack
each time one comes through. I figured I'd just wait until the end of
next year
and order them all at once manually saving myself $14.85 in unnecessary
shipping
fees.

I call up today and cancel, the guy asks no questions and takes care of
everything quickly. I was hoping he'd ask why so I could tell him the
shipping
rates are too high. Oh well, no biggie.

I get a confirmation email that says this:

" Greetings from the United States Mint.
The following subscription has been canceled at your
request or as a result of maintenance by the United States
Mint on your subscription. As part of this maintenance we
are consolidating multiple subscriptions so that shipping
and handling charges to the customer are minimized when
subscriptions are fulfilled.
Thank you for shopping at the U.S. Mint Online Catalog. "


Can you believe it? They are actually going to try and be proactive on
filling
subs going forward. I just wish the guy told me this so I didn't have to
cancel.....

So, for those of you thinking about it - you may not have to

Oh my gawd, miracles never cease, the mint does something to make life and
finances easier for it's customers.
