Many thanks for this very timely karma!

Thanks very much for the excellent karma.

-- STATUS NON-UPDATE --

I phoned the NRA Store about the coins.

I told her the website showed 43 available when I ordered them over 3 weeks ago.

She said the coins are on backorder and there is no further information in the system about availability.

It may take 30 days to fill the order. (A general purpose, "We don't know anything but we gotta say something", response.)

A supervisor is looking into it. He will call with an update. (I am not holding my breath.)

The story (short form): After repeated calls to and discussions with the NRA Store, they told me they can’t provide the coins. Therefore I am breaking my karma promise.

Lesson learned: Have karma items in hand before offering them.

Are they going to return your money with the same speed?
