APMEX

Prompt service. Wide variety. Fast, free shipping with tracking. No worries whenever I order from APMEX.

This was my second order with APMEX. I order various products as well as some capsules to go with the coins. I messed up and ordered the wrong capsules. I called their customer service and blown away by the service. They answered the phone quickly and Rebecca was a pleasure. To my amazement, they paid the freight to allow me to return the wrong capsules. I received an email when my return arrived and another mail when they sent out the replacement, which was the same day from when my capsules had arrived to them. Overall a great experience and can see why they are so well regarded. Jill

APMEX has the best assortment out there. They are a class act and have a reputation of putting their customers first. In my situation, I ordered around noon and paid with bank wire. To my amazement, the order shipped same day with UPS and I had the product in hand two days later. Their package is the best I have seen in this industry. Very professional while also discreet. I would recommend them to anyone consider precious metals.

First off, I don't think there is an absolute best precious metals dealer out there. It all depends on what you collect. I am a platinum member for 2 years and buy mostly large quantity of Geiger Silver bars, , older Libertads, Perth Silver Lunar coins and $50 Gold Mexican Pesos. They do have the best selection of any dealer out there and I always try to buy on a dip or when they advertise a sale or special with ebay. With that said, I use other dealers, such as JM Bullion for silver bars, Provident for Lunar MCM for NGC graded modern coins. Overall, they have to be one of the top 3 dealers in any category in my opinion and I will continue to use in the future.

Im new to buying precious metals, and luckily I quickly found APMEX. They ship ultra quick, and it is delivered in a discrete yet secure packaging. Received 3 days after placing order in CA. Quality was perfect. Now on to everyone's issue with APMEX and that's price. They do seem expensive, however with free shipping over 99 they beat most competitors prices once you factor in shipping. Also like anything shopping around is critical. If your investing it's not about what shape the metal is (bar, rounds, coin, etc) it's about accumulating weight. I've shopped APMEX and have always been able to find a great deal, especially on silver. I won't buy from anyone else, there is enough risk inherit in precious metals, I'll stick with a company that actually seems to think customer service is important.

I've bought and sold quite a bit with APMEX. Unfortunately, their premiums have risen a bit too far the past year. Previously, their specials were quite good. Now, only if you are ordering at the highest quantities are they reasonable. Their selection is impressive. Only a few times have I been a bit disappointed (from shattered plastic covering on 10oz bars, which cut me to very battered, but new Silvertown bars). As buyers, they were very reliable. Given the issues involved in bullion trading, I am not too upset about delays in check clearance and shipping. The bullion business is simply not like Amazon selling books.

Shipped off my metal that I have been safeguarding for years. Made it to Oklahoma City two days after I shipped. The shipping date was January 16th it's the 31st of January now. I have strings of email confirmation of receipt and no money in my Bank account. If you know APMEX I am a platinum buyer, by their standard their top level. I couldn't get anyone there to help me. I hope I see my money at some point. I will never purchase again. You pay more through APMEX. And please don't sell to APMEX. You may wait forever before you see your money. A Platinum Member

There are three things that are needed to care for my clients. 1. A trusted source. 2.Low fees. 3. Timely Delivery. APMEX has helped me to build my brokerage business and make it easy to do business.

I've been a follower of precious metals for quite some time now (Mining Stocks and ETF's mostly) and finally took the plunged and ordered physical bullion about a month ago (Trying to get out of "paper gold and paper silver".) Being new to "stacking" i was concerned after doing research and hearing about the flood of counterfeits coming out of China, merchants stealing money (Tulving), super delayed shipping, receiving low quality or damaged bullion, etc. After extensive research, i decided to go with APMEX for my first order and I was glad that I did. I opted to mail in a check (which made the process much longer then some people would be comfortable with) but throughout the process, i received email updates such as when they received my check, when they processed the order, when the items were shipped, etc. Besides, anyone who wanted the items quicker, could have opted for quicker methods of payment but i decided to pay the lowest premium over spot and didnt' mind the wait. Overall , the bars, coins and rounds received were in VERY good condition, and pleasantly came in sealed tubes or in plastic sheets / flips ; Everything neatly and discreetly packed. Since receiving the order i have compared daily, prices between APMEX, Kitco, Provident, JM Bullion, Goldsilver.com and Gainsville; The 6 companies who i consider big players within the bullion sales world. In my opinion, is APMEX the cheapest? Probably Not. Can you find other companies out there that will have lower over spot prices with free shipping? Maybe But in my opinion, APMEX makes up more for it with Superior customer service, a wider selection, and a reputation which they stand by, to the T. Besides, some of their "on sale" items, are priced lower then the other sites i just mentioned and they are offering free shipping for the Holidays..I guess finding the absolute best possible price, is not always possible or easy...But when dealing with APMEX, paying slightly more to me, is worth the small price to have that *** PEACE OF MIND ***; That my/your earned money won't just vanish into thin air one day... APMEX was definitely the right company for me to take the plunge and i'm looking forward to ordering from them again..

Shipping charges to Canada are a scam.Cost me $69.48 in shipping charges for an order.The weight surcharge and extended area surcharge are a total scam. From now on the only US dealer i'll buy from is Provident metals,They only charge $20 to Canada.
