Hmm... that's over a year old, and the state eventually settled in Northwest Territorial Mint's favor.
There's a story about it on Coin Link...
As part of the agreement, Northwest Territorial Mint agreed to clarify the language of its web site to more clearly state its delivery policies — policies that remain substantially unchanged from those which have been in place since the company went into business in 1984.
Assistant Attorney General Paula Selis said that “this Consent Decree should not reflect adversely on Defendant’s business practices.” (Page 2, lines 17&18 of the Decree).
What they tell you when you call them now is that if they don't ship by the date they promise is that they'll offer to buy you out at the current buy price (which could mean a profit in dollars even if you haven't yet received your silver), or they'll give you the choice of continuing to wait.
For crying out loud, they've been around since 1984. I don't think they're going anywhere. In fact, I think I just read where they're continuing to hire people to meet the demand.
In any event, I've never had anything I order not arrive.
