<p>[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1340585, member: 28451"]I have always had very good experiences with APMEX. They are a first class operation. Their order procedure is easy; their customer service is great and their packaging and shipping are the best I have found. I have never had a wire transfer issue and have always used either a personal check or a credit card. Their shipping is on the high side, no doubt, but merchandise is packed very, very well and the shipping process is very good. The dealers I patronize are: Modern Coin Mart, Gainesville Coins, Provident Metals and APMEX.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never ordered anything from Paradise Mint, even though it is right in my neighborhood. My impression of the company, after looking at their website, is they are pretty much just another hash-slinging dealer that dishes out the same old graded modern bullion. It seems like 95% of what they offer is slabbed. If a person likes that, it's great for them. For those of us who like to find things not found all over the place, APMEX offers such items. I mean, really, do they really need to be selling 2012 silver eagles under 5 different NGC labels? Yawn. Wake me up when you have something interesting to sell. Also, the shipping is not free; it is built into the prices of the merchandise. Compare their cost of silver eagles to the companies I mentioned above and you will see what I mean. I don't think they are bad, by any means. They just appear to be another slab-slinging dealer in an endless parade of the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
