Texas Precious Metals

Reading the other reviews gave me the confidence to place my first ever bullion order with TPM. Only caveat is I was told on the phone my order would ship UPS, but it came USPS instead. But I didn't sweat it, and got my silver eagles in one week.

Just completed a transaction for a few Gold Mapleleafs and I've got to say that I am impressed with TPM. I placed the order on-line about just before lunch on Tuesday. My wire transfer was sent Tuesday afternoon and my Mapleleafs arrived via overnight UPS just before lunch on Thursday - 48 hours from initiating the order to delivery! I've ordered from other dealers, but TPM is the best I've found yet. Good prices, a website that updates those prices constantly, great communication after the sale, product exactly as described and super fast delivery. What's not to like? Based on my experience, I highly recommend these folks - and that's something I can't say about any other gold dealer that I've done business with.

I spoke with this company and I must say that they were definitely very friendly and kind. And if I were buying gold bullion these guys are very competitively priced. However, the only reason why I'm not giving them 5 stars across the board is because I was left some old silver dollars by my father and asked them to give me a price on them. Originally I don't think they knew what a peace dollar is, but then I think they realized that I wasn't talking about american silver eagles. After that was handled I got them to give me a purchase price and needless to say they were not competitive on that. So basically this is an excellent niche company. If you just want a few simple bullion coins then go for it, but if it's something not on there site then I'd recommend you go somewhere else.

Tex Metals is an excellent company for your gold and silver buying needs. Their inventory is not as extensive as some of the larger bullion companies, but this allows them to offer some of the lowest overhead prices available. They have a good selection of gold and silver coins, and their bars are from the reputable mints like NTR and Perth. I have made a few orders and their responses and shipping times have been very quick. Ordering is a snap online (my personal preference) and they have automatic email alerts and updates when your order is placed, your payment has been received, and when your order ships. I am very satisfied with this company, and will continue to do business with them. My one minor quibble is that they don't right now have inventory for the PAMP and Suisse gold bars.

I've been salting away gold & silver for some years and Texas Precious Metals is absolutely the best I've ever encountered in this business. Their mark-ups are the lowest I've found, buying AND selling back. They do what they say they will do in a very professional manner. Could not ask for more in any business. My TPM agent was Tarek Saab and he was great in every respect; patient and instructive during my first transaction and professional and proficient and friendly during all. My only regret is that I did not discover this fine family-owned business until this year !

I was a 1st time buyer at the end of June 2012. Delivery was over 10 days but that included a weekend and the 4th of July. I bought again on July 10th and expect UPS delivery sometime today. I'm very satisfied in dealing with them as there is no pressure to buy and I've had a nice long chat with them regarding the finer details of how international gold markets work and how spot rates are developed & quoted. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future although my experience has been that I'm not getting 3-day delivery. I bought/paid by wire on a Tuesday but the order wasn't processed & transferred to UPS until the following Monday. Of course, freight was free and I can't complain about 24 hour overnight shipping. Would like to see an 800- tele number and a little more professionalism when they answer the phone. One girl picked up the phone and just said, "Hello." Not a big deal in the greater scheme of things but for a newbie it was a bit disconcerting and caused one to wonder what sort of a firm I was dealing with!

I would like to recommend this Company after receiving an excellent service from them. Having never purchased gold before, I must say how impressed I was by their speedy professional service. I purchased a Gold Eagle coin from them and paid by bank wire, everything went smoothly and it arrived within 3 days! I will definately be using them in the future

I have recommended TexMetals to everyone in my card club and everyone at my church. For a first timer, they treated me with great respect and patience, and the purchase price was lower than anyone else online. I actually called them 3 times before I purchased, and I never once felt pressured. I used Midlan IRA in Chicago as my IRA custodian, and they are great too.

I have never bought from TexMetals, but I have sold to them, and I had a nice experience. I called to inquire about selling 20 Gold Buffaloes. Once I was clear on the premiums, they emailed me my shipping label and scheduled a FedEx courier to come to my house to pick up the package. When he arrived, he scanned the label, I called to lock-in the spot, TexMetals had the package the next day, and my check arrived 3 days later. Much simpler than I expected. To me, the fact that I never had to leave my house with $37,000 worth of gold bullion is a BIG deal. The convenience is nice, but the security of the transaction is what I appreciated most.

For what it's worth, I had a really positive experience buying from Texas Precious Metals. Good prices, good service. Really good all around. On the downside, they don't have a huge selection if that matters to people. I tend to focus exclusively on government issue coins (I don't like the premiums on the numismatic stuff) so if you're into collectibles, TexMetals isn't the company. If you want Eagles, Maples, Krugs, Silver Bars, Rounds, for a great price and brand new etc, TexMetals is the place to go.
