How about a class action lawsuit against @Gordy for making us all beggars?

If any one did want to get a Christmas bar out, I'm happy to sell up to 3 x 5g bars at the price of £256 plus post. 

 

Ideally this is only for those who have not received their item from the royal mint and wanted to gift them as presents. 

What a kind man. Well done!

I chatted to The Royal Mint yesterday regarding my Black Friday order and I’ve attached the chat below 👇🏻

Roll on the week of the 17th December 🤞🏻

Never trust a witch🧐

Got my first 2 on Saturday after phoning them on Wednesday. 

Will wait on the little treasures coming at some point. 

3 separate packages delivered to me by the mint on Saturday too. All which could have been put in the same package. 

Glad they are saving themselves on postage! 😐🤦 

The happy birthday one is basically a Christmas one anyway, as it can be used to celebrate Jesus's birthday. 😎🎁

Must be nice I'm still waiting and have contacted RM 3 times now. Apparently the bars were due to be sent this week but hey it's Friday, nothing has arrived, no emails, no change in order status. If they don't ship before Christmas I am going to tear them a new one. I have in writing them promising me twice that I will get my stuff before Christmas.

That's ridiculous at this stage.

It’s the season of goodwill. If you need them for presents I can lend you mine and replace them when you receive them from RM.

Mines got stopped at customs in Portugal.... Waiting for them to release.. They work so slow what a joke

I received my Gold Minted Bars from The Royal Mint today. Hopefully those who are yet to receive theirs will do so soon.

One thing I’ve noticed is, the gift sleeves arrive sealed (with a clear plastic tab) and don’t indicate the gold gram weight.

So you either have to remove the seal to confirm the contents which spoils the gift or trust that the stated weight on the outer zip lock bag label matches the blister card 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just remove the seal slightly, tip assay card out, check weight and re-seal, its no biggy

The stickers on the outer baggies I received revealed the product codes (and manufacturing dates).

HBBG001G5 = happy birthday 5 gm

HBBG001G = happy birthday 1 gm

RMGM003G5 = best wishes 5 gm

RMGM003G = best wishes 1 gm

etc.

Clear as mud.  

E.g., the Henna I got was bagged in October 2021 and Little Treasure in November 2020.

Also still waiting! I sent a proper Karen email on Friday so at least that made me feel better. Season of goodwill and all that..

I'm phoning them tomorrow and if I don't like their answers I'll be a Karen, a Meghan and a Norman all in one! I hope everything works out for you mate

Im literally sick of looking at mine. They're just - there!

Bloody frustrating.

[CoinCupboard]

I got a happy birthday one and I gave it for a 40th at the weekend. 😅 

Will be interesting to see when the little treasures ones show up too.

Can we say that this might be one example of FOMO effect not always being a positive outcome? 😂😂😂

It's fine to "miss out" on certain products...lol
