ah right. Annoyingly i called them about 11 today and they said sold out.

Exactly what happened to me yesterday! How can they get away with this terrible customer service 😕

Thanks for the heads up @arshimo2012

Just came off the phone 5 minutes ago. Managed to pick 3 up however I am worried and think these might be unlimited mintage extras. 

Looking at 4 weeks for delivery.

The dealer may have been licensed to do something with alternative packaging but it didn't happen. 

Yeah I thought that. I found it odd that there’s a £5 postage charge when the RM website says free delivery over £45...maybe there is a House of Fraser or Debenhams depot somewhere with 2000 Snowmen proof coins ready to be returned 😂😂😂

It does seem odd that a business would want to loose out

I don’t think so, they’ll be part of the remaining 5,000 of the total 20,000 montage. 

There would be a LOT of angry people if they released an unlimited montage version.

Someone buys 10 despite description stating "Due to the limited availability of these coins we are restricting orders to one per address"

Upto 3 weeks to deliver as well?

Looking at 4 weeks for delivery. 

The mintage will be (must be) included in the 20 000 first advertised and sold.

The COA thing is just weird

Again, the Mint have a certain hit on their hands but manage to piss off their customers and muck people around

It should be simple, no?

They are printing and there are a lot of letters in Jonathan.

[HelpingHands]

If that was the company with the license then they would've been restricted to the sale price.

[Bullionaire]

Just tried both numbers, but they're closed damn work and traffic jams making me miss out

[HelpingHands]

That ebay company appear to have some on their site direct.  More expensive though

So it looks like they went to a corporate/personalised gift company. Makes sense for the RM to easily pull the stock back then.

[HelpingHands]

And look at the postage

Standard Post & Packing	£5.00

It makes you think if whether the RM are taking them back and checking them or just selling them for this company who'll post them out.

Yeah it does tie in nicely. I’m guessing we’ll find out when it’s posted.

The only bit I would be iffy about is the space where the message is printed. It would look odd if they kept it blank.

[HelpingHands]

On the website you could write in the message box ' I dont want a message'.    

..And they'd print that on the box.

A blank space would be the best result and makes them easily personalised for a gift as many of these will be:)

A easy buy, and with the limited presentation could be a winner.

Yeah I suppose you’re right. I’m happy I got a couple and even more of a bonus about the presentation. Without a COA I’m not sure what that will mean for long term value, but if they do include something it would be a great outcome.

So glad you got some in the end!

These could do well, it'll be interesting to watch how these do!

Cheers! I only wanted one for my 10 month old as his first coin in the first place.

Now I have a second one, I can keep it for myself. Maybe a cheeky NGC concervation.

Then when I’m dead he’ll probably sell both for money towards a boiler, sofa or something else uninteresting 😂😂
