My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

Ordered a variety of different products and found the vintage pieces to be of exceptional quality and as advertised. Everything was mailed discreetly, well packaged, and arrived in no time. I've bought from all the big vendors and find Bullion Standard to be the best value. We'll keep coming back!

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
