Just got of the phone with customer services, they confirmed that the ordering system took a while to send all the orders through due to probably being somewhat overwhelmed - but that my order was taken and would be dispatched very shortly. I also have the three items the order was - from memory last time if it has the number paid next to the item its a taken order, if it has 0.00 it is not.

Thanks mate, amazing such a massive company has such awful ordering systems.

Just odd the way its saying ordered on the 17th, hopefully moved to dispatched tomorrow:) Does your open order say ordered 17th?

Im a bit concerned now, its saying order placed today for my coin set even though i ordered on the 15th, i did get a conformation email. Call to customer services tomorrow and fingers crossed.

Do you know if they take the money at the point of dispatch? I notice my creditcard has a hold on the funds but its not taken yet..

Damn, yeah I think its that. Mines still sat in open orders.

I have a tracked 48 message saying it was dispatched yesterday, would they use tracked 48 for a £10 snowman 50p? if so i bought one...I would expect special delivery for the sets

might be worth trying a wax crayon rub with a bit of white paper to see if that shows anything up.

Deffo not gold sadly, gold comes out the ground exactly as it went in, no corrosion. Brass maybe? Cool none the less!

I have never even owned a 3 sovereign set - let alone a 4 coin set but thats the one I went for, I have yet to see a double sovereign in person so cant wait! I figured this is a special year not to be repeated for many many more so hit the credit card.

Speaking of the bullion, any idea when they come out??

I'm wondering if these "available to order" are the ones they will get returned for QC reasons.. Just deciding if to grab another half..

I have a hold on funds, how sure are you they wont take the cash? I also have the thank you for order email.

and now im in the que lol..

went for the 4 coin set! as much as id like the quintuple sov i dont want to nearly max out my CC and the double will look awesome anyway.

Cheers guys, my CC has a 5k max limit - hmmmm

Any ideas how much the 5 coin set will be with the quintuple?

Will do! left it pretty late so no time to mess around now - we are both in 100% savings mode for a very long time! The watch buying will be ending for the foreseeable future too.

Cheers Stu:) we would spend a little more if we could but decided the moneys needed in other places more than a lavish ceremony, I did notice the sipp is going up from 55 to 57, probably 60 again after too! I have to agree Roy, and thats a great point you make about how your own home can work for you too -. I am 38 years old - So I recon a good 30 years until any possible retirement.

This is half my misses money, im not entirely sure she would agree with that 🤣 We are getting married in december:) - Total cost of wedding including clothes and ring resizing and a couple nights honeymoon in a premier inn, £400 ... Shes a keeper 🙂 Rings were inherited from grandparents. Doing it on the cheap:D

Thanks @dicker, will give VCT a wide berth! I guess they make more sense for some with more funds. Cheers Pete, I do have a vanguard SIPP (with basically nothing in it) so the options already open - but my feelings are the best thing i can do towards securing my future is obtaining a place to live that I own. I feel i need to put 100% towards that goal and complete it before I think about pensions. Might be worth chucking a few quid in here and there I guess because I know il be in trouble when i retire otherwise, but il be in even more trouble if i dont have a place to live where i dont have to pay ever rising rent.

Thanks motorbikez, Was thinking along the same lines - I have set up a regular savings plan with a lot of legal and general funds, UK 100 index, global 100 index, HSBC FTSE 250, Vanguard global small cap index, Vanguard FTSE developed world EX-UK Plus the odd £100 payments into other funds as and when (legal and general robotics and automation index ect)- but those five above are my core as of now.

Thanks Pete, not currently paying income tax - dont earn enough! I also dont own/or am anywhere near to obtaining a flat to live in. That's what these savings are for though, towards a flat one day. I have a Lifetime Isa - but its cash - I might open a stocks and shares one next year. I can put 4k a year into that and it gets topped upto 5 but I am unsure il ever get approved for a mortgage anyway so It feels risky putting money there, at least with an ISA i can take it all tax free when I need it without penalty.

That is not gold or crypto - over this time frame i am thinking just put it all on a stocks and shares isa and stick with low fee tracker funds but interested for other opinions. I know a lot see the market as due for a correction but would you say thats a long enough time frame to ride out any dips?
