<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1310022, member: 19065&quot;]Yep! That totally eats up their &#039;good&#039; offers on many products they market. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>For the OP:</b></p><p>That said, they are a solid company to deal with for individual retail style purchases. I recommend avoiding electronic forms of payment with them and take the time to send a check or money order instead. APMEX (and other bullion dealers) charge a few percent to offset the CC charges they incur. From past experience, they can deliver orders just as fast when you send your payment via regular mail as it takes them time to clear your payment with a CC and send your order out. I find they over-compensate in packaging to some degree and when asked to fill out a customer survey, often suggest that they find more &quot;eco-friendly&quot; packaging solutions and cut back on the amount of material they stuff in boxes. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking for a company to compare prices and basic services, check out <b><a href="http://www.providentmetals.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.providentmetals.com/" rel="nofollow">Provident Metals</a>.</b> They are a similar company but run things on a smaller budget I feel. They are quick to deliver and don&#039;t go overboard with slick marketing campaigns nor a flowery web site. I recommend Provident and APMEX IF you need/want to buy PMs online from reliable sources.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at <a href="http://www.fidelitrade.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fidelitrade.com" rel="nofollow">FideliTrade</a> and <a href="http://www.amark.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amark.com/" rel="nofollow">A-Mark</a> for a couple more options. They are not as &#039;retail&#039; oriented but this also means they have less overhead and may offer better prices that the other two companies mentioned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
