COVID-19 Update from Shire Post Mint:

(April 2, 2020): We are still shipping daily! All off-site work (like packaging coins in holders) is quarantined before being shipped out. 

(March 19, 2020): All is well at Shire Post Mint! As of Monday March 16th, Shire Post Mint has offered remote work to all employees during our voluntary quarantine. At this time, we are still shipping orders daily with limited physical staff. We haven’t seen any unusual shipping delays so far. We have instructed our staff on enhanced sanitation methods during shipping.  

Here is what you can expect from Shire Post Mint during this unprecedented time:

• We will prioritize our employees’ health and safety above all else.
• Orders for Shire Post Mint will continue to go out daily. We will make every effort to minimize delays. 
• Any custom orders or customization requests should expect delays due to limited manufacturing staff.

Feel free to reach out to us about any questions that you may have. You can contact Helen at sales@shirepost.com

Until further notice, our No-Worries Coin collection will be 25% off with code NOWORRIES
