<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AshcraftCoin, post: 767333, member: 17767&quot;]APMEX is top-notch. I have spent thousands with them... and they sent me a nice tub of popcorn. LOL (Oh yeah, silver and gold too.) Their shipping is fast and the charges aren&#039;t bad at all unless you are doing smaller orders.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can only remember one time I was dissatisfied with the silver bullion I received... it was Brand New, but the back edges were badly shaped. I think this had more to do with the mint that made them than APMEX, but they looked &quot;ground&quot; with rounded edges... to be clear, they were not ground down... they weighed right on or near 10 TOz, but I had several apprehensive buyers who contacted me after receiving their product.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I would have sent them back if possible, but they had already been sold on, so I could not delay in shipping them out. Maybe APMEX was in the same spot when they sent them to me! LOL Generally, the condition of generic doesn&#039;t or shouldn&#039;t matter price wise, but it really depends on who you are selling to and for what purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most companies are not going to do anything on the basis of a phone call, as far as actually shipping the product without payment up front, unless you have an established account history and business relationship. (They would be crazy to in this business.) They will be glad to lock in orders, but otherwise... it&#039;s just like the McDonald&#039;s drive thru... put the cash in their hand before you get your product!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It really depends on your Bank, but I can call my Credit Union to send Bank Wires from home. All I had to do was provide them the info for each recipient the first time in person and then reference them by name on future calls. (They retained all the info in a file. Might have to talk to a &quot;Personal Banker&quot;.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are plenty of bullion dealers that take Credit Cards, but expect it to be built into the price somehow... whether in premium or a jacked up shipping charge. It is costing them at least 2 to 3% to process that transaction and that cuts into an already small margin. (Not to mention the hassles that occur when the processor finds out they are selling coins and/or bullion... it is sometimes considered a high risk business.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure plenty of people purchase bullion with CCs and then pay off the bill right away simply to get points, rewards, or cash back. I know of a major bullion dealer that used his credit cards all the time to buy <b><u><i>large</i></u></b> amounts of bullion just to get rewards or whatever... his CC company wasn&#039;t too happy about it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
