<p>[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 5335430, member: 22377"]In all my online coin purchases, I have only one return. That was a modern proof Britannia set bought from Apmex. It was issued that year and arrived with significant milk spots. I paid a premium and Apmex didn't advertise that it would arrive with spots. Another issue was also with Apmex and a proof coin that arrived with a large scratch (I settled for a partial refund which knocked the price to about the same as a generic silver oz). I actually have more non-coin returns at three. One was an office chair that arrived damaged, another was a DVD drive that was missing all the internal parts, and the last was counterfeit stamps (eBay still made me return them instead of destroying them).</p><p><br /></p><p>I do everything possible to avoid returns. If I gamble on a coin, that is on me and not the seller. It has to be significantly off (like the extremely spotted example) for me to go the return route. Some of the returns amuse me as well. There are legitimate reasons but there are also too many frivolous returns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
