Merit Gold (Closed)

Ordered over two months ago - no delivered bullion. Requested a refund and getting the run-around. Will never order from this company again. Don't be fooled by their fancy ads and gimmicks. They lie about their BBB accreditation - the have no current accreditation - check the BBB site for LA!

I placed my first order with Merit; I received my order in 21 days from the day the wire transfer cleared. 21 days seemed a bit excessive to wait for the product; however, it did arrive and was the quality that was promised. Merit seems to have the lowest prices available for Gold and Silver Eagles, so the savings was worth the additional wait time. Overall I am very satisfied.

I thought I had done my homework, having talked by phone with about 5 different and supposedly reputable dealers. I thought that some coins could be confiscated by government, & that some were exempt. Later research proved this is not really so, but the salesman @ Merit convinced me that it really is so. I chalk that up to my own gullibility. However, I have since learned that I paid way too much premium for the proof sets & coins that I bought.
Apparently these guys can just charge "whatever the traffic will bear". Once again, more research would perhaps have prevented this mistake on my part. Just know that there are much better places to buy gold & silver than from Merit.
