They make you feel like you are already one month in, so one more month won’t hurt, then give you the bad news of another month, and then another etc. Taking people for fools 😤 

These sovereigns might land at the same time as the free tudor beast box 😆 hell they may arrive in a tudor beast box ffs.

[Gypsy]

I think the 12 week wait has put people off. They should have these sovereigns ready to dispatch within a week. 

[James32]

What's next ? We need another queue 😆

while pushing out junk coin after junk coin,like that 50p set lol

Keep the faith guys. It is a great design and the first King Charles III sovereign.

Or maybe don’t and go for a refund, then the mintage will be lower 😉 🤣

I’ve gone ahead and cancelled. Although I thought there’d be a ‘cancel’ option but couldn’t find one so sent an email via the contact us page. To those that have done this before, is that the right way to do it? Thanks

That’s what I did, on contact us page selected commemorative coins then cancel order on the drop down,  used my account number in customer code and the order id in product field.

I phoned. It’s the quickest way and they send a confirmation email

Hope so, ordered myself a nice 2oz Gold 

[GoldDiggerDave]

I've just cancelled 13k worth of orders with the Royal Mint and it might be a bit more in the morning.  It's becoming utterly pointless I've waited a YEAR I'll say that again a YEAR for coins that they are still tossing me off.   I've also dumped some 2022 memorial sets are no way I'm I loading up on those now with a February delivery date.

It feels like we are being stitched up like a kipper, especially when theres likely to be 2 proof sovereigns in 2023.   I might keep hold of 2 of the memorial 5 coin sets but thats about it for me.   

Going forward folks if they don't dispatch coins within the same month they take the money for I've got a feeling they will get bombarded with cancellations.

A year?! 

[Shinus73]

If these coins and sets were a good purchase a month ago, why is it any different now? I agree that the delays are unacceptably long, but patience is a virtue. If anything, given the number of cancellations being mentioned, they’re an even better buy than they were.

Yes a year for the 1kg silver gothics and they still can not confirm a delivery date.  The mint are taking millions up front for coins they don't have the banks to fulfil the orders.  This is also why I'm bailing out of most of the 2022 memorial sovereigns.

Don't cancel the 5 coin sets. I will take them off you and you can have them back when you've had a snickers! Like coronation street tonight.

I would be looking to any individual/company to be respectful and honest in their qc as with any purchase, be it clothing, or any goods. That is basic customer service. And if a company or individual cannot provide assurances in action  or full refunds, then that company/individual is not trustworthy. Customer service 101 to my mind…obviously. 
 

It is not the end of my world if I receive a sub par thing but I do expect a full refund or mutually agreed equivalent nominal value item(s) as recompense, should any failure in the original legal agreement occur. I am not bound by accepting sub par products just for procuring a bit of supposed historical reference. But looking forward to a pristine set  I have no reason to think otherwise.

 

There is no question that the dealers we all use to buy these sovereigns from wouldn't fulfil their legal and moral obligations.

However, some of these RM issues we are buying are in great demand both from the Mint and these retailers. Many times we have heard stories that buyers, upon receiving substandard coins from the Mint haven't been able to get replacement coins. It is not guaranteed but the Mint does seem to be improving in this area recently.

In the case I previously mentioned, I am sure, had I managed to get a set from the MInt, I would have been able to receive a replacement. I was not given this promise from Chards, but was told to return it and they will look at it. I was loath to do so without reassurance that I would be able to get a replacement if they had to send it back.

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about the service I received, merely pointing it out to promote discussion. I knew before I bought the set that there was a risk I would get an imperfect coin and not be able to get a replacement. I accepted that risk.

This thread is sooooo confusing!

Are you talking about the 2022 Platinum Jubilee coins here?

🤔

The Memorial coins.... People are disappointed that they haven't received them yet so are either considering cancelling or already have. 

[BullionBuyerUK]

To my thinking, it's not really acceptable to make people wait so long for a flagship coin that a lot of people would have been looking forward to. But, that is unfortunately the case with these memorial sovereigns. On here when there was a leaked photo posted nearly everyone loved it, I still do think the coin looks amazing. I've maxed out every penny on my RM account to get these coins and sets, but I do think the price is quite high, and it is hard to justify that, so I will just wait until the coins finally do arrive and make my mind up then, can always send it back if I don't like it.

I'm sorry but for the premium paid, you/we should be guaranteed a perfect coin. Whether from a dealer or direct from source! 

When an entity ramps up production and starts releasing a new coin every fortnight, then it's common sense that quality will suffer. Now add the fact that premium has been increased, it's nothing short of moronic and will end badly for the mint. Short-term gain will create long-term pain.

 

[Mtaybar]

Personally I'm sticking with mine, I'm pretending it's already in the safe not being looked at. Then when I do receive it I'll pretend like it's been a long time since I've taken it out for a treasure look at day. 

🤣🤣
