When the dealers say that I shouldn't open the box, do they mean the brown outside Packaging? If yes what will they do if my wife opened a drop of   the brown Packaging?

We send payments in batches every few days. So typically it'll be as little as one day to as much as 3-4 business days from when you "cash out". Although for this deal the terms gave us 7 business days.

my 2˘
dealers should pay the full amount as long as they did not give a deliver by date when making the deal
they should not ask anyone to cancel as that would be the same as a buyer wanting to cancel when the price skyrockets
the dealers took the risk of buying those preorders early hoping that the value would be higher later
while the buyers took the risk of selling the orders early at a potentially lower price in exchange for a guaranteed profit.

this time the buyers came out ahead last time the dealers did that's just the way the world works.

Buyers can request to back out, odds are the dealer will say no. But I don't think asking is wrong.

FWIW we worked with a PFS competitor, arranged a guarantee, and had dozens of emails from people about non-responsiveness and issues.
I saw they were offering a couple bucks more, but it's not just about the bottom line. We turn down ads from credit repair businesses because they result in complaints and it's not worth the money.

We've yet to get any complaints about PFS.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

this time the buyers came out ahead last time the dealers did that's just the way the world works.

That's a valid argument. Probably the first valid one I've seen about this.

My point of view is a bit different...

We always give a deadline (3 days from when the box arrives to you) to ship the coin(s) to us. This is typically a lot earlier than 2 weeks from the sale date. We also write/wrote no backordered orders... This time was unusual in that the mint decided to hold to these orders for so long so that it fell into this grey area. I would argue that this is like a backordered order.

Importantly, I also gave people a heads-up last week so that they can push through and clear their orders telling them that I man ask them to cancel mid next week if not. This was well before any limits were lifted. And most did call and got theirs shipped at that time.

Also, on the other point you brought up, if you recall from prior "conversations", these were all pre-sold by me as well, whether they come in 2 weeks from now or 2 weeks ago, I'm not making any more or any less than I would if the limit wasn't lifted. This is equally true when the price rises.

My buyers asked me - as partners - and I did the same to my Members - to cancel anything that isn't a "live" order, so that while me and my members might not make the profits on these canceled orders, at least nobody will lose anything (including them if i went through with it.)

I wonder if PFS would agree
I'm just saying they are opening themselves up to people cancelling on them when the tables are turned
is it really worth it? ???

If I were asked, I would not "allow" people to back out because of a price change. Ever. I am typically not asked though ;-)

As I just wrote, this has nothing to do with price. I will still be reimbursed fully for every coin I deliver even if members give it to me in a week or two.

In the meanwhile, I have yet to get a request from any of my members to keep the orders in, they clearly understood (based on the initial terms as well as my email last week) that this may happen and were obviously okay with it. And as I wrote earlier, if I did get such a request, I'd take the coins and pay the full promised profits.

How's that?
I think by cancelling on people now some people won't feel bad if they go and then cancel on them when it works out the other way

I think they're very different. A comparable would be if they already got the coins (and couldn't return them to the mint), and then i told them that I'm backing out and I don't want the coins... In that case, I think you have an argument. This is very different.

Having said that, if one of these couple of dozen people use this as an "excuse" to why they back out on a future deal, I guess you could tell me "I told you so". I'd still argue the difference.

as people should not allow the dealers (not you) to back out either.

As I just wrote, this has nothing to do with price. I will still be reimbursed fully for every coin I deliver even if members give it to me in a week or two.
Then maybe you should fight for your members to get what they were promised?
In the meanwhile, I have yet to get a request from any of my members to keep the orders in, they clearly understood (based on the initial terms as well as my email last week) that this may happen and were obviously okay with it.
I don't think most people understood this might happen and just because they are complying with your request does not mean that they are okay with it

And as I wrote earlier, if I did get such a request, I'd take the coins and pay the full promised profits.
good then we agree that is the right thing to do

Bottom line is asking to cancel was a bad idea. We all make mistakes.

When the dealers say that I shouldn't open the box, do they mean the brown outside Packaging? If yes what will they do if my wife opened a drop of   the brown Packaging?
Yes.  They want to officially 'grade' the coin.  So they need it mint-wrapped.
If you haven't reached the coin with the amount of box opened, I would just tape it closed.  If you've opened it more, contact your buyer.
