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).

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
