That is odd. I too just spent a lot of time on the web site tring to find out what they charge for that so called fantastic shipping, handling, postage and just couldn't find anything. At the bottom there is a statment about that or something like that if you click on that. I did find out that there is a 5% charge for restocking. Also, if you are returning something and want a replacement, it is up to them as to what you get. Still, can not find how much all this wonderful shipping costs.

OK I give up on that one. Again I just spent a lot of time on that web site and just couldn't find how much postage, shipping, handling, etc costs. There is a real lot of info on everything else but I guess poatage is just not important to them or the purchasers. I did note there is a $35 charge if you change or cancel your order. A 3% discount for cash.
A few here stated they do deal with them so maybe they know about the Postage/shipping/etc. charges.

My feelings are if a person has to spend time searching for costs, postage, etc. there is something wrong somewhere. I'll pass on that place.

You can certainly pass, but it's easily found. It's one click from the home page under frequently asked questions. If "How much is shipping?" isn't a frequently asked question, I don't know what is. It took me less than 15 seconds to find it so it's not them. Heck, most sites won't give you shipping costs until put something in your cart (How do they know until you pick something to ship or know where to ship it?), do you avoid all those too because they're "shady" ?

It's maybe time to lighten up. I mean really, Bobby posted some coupon codes for Alibris and you immediately warned people about a "free shipping scam" because some other web site did it to you. Not even a thank you for the codes. I don't blame the Staff for removing it.

Absolutely. You mean you don't? ODD.

Where do you buy your tin foil hats then? Do you have a local B&M that sells them I guess?

No matter what aspersions some seem to cast, APMEX is not shady. They are extremely helpful and deliver exactly what they say they will when they say it will be done. I have purchased very many items from them because their customer service is outstanding.

There's always some folks who'd be mad at finding a pot of gold because the leprechaun didn't come with it.

Question for anyone who has had to return an item to APMEX.

I just received my two 2011 ATBs 5-oz (Gettysburg and Glacier). Upon close inspection I find that the Gettysburg has noticeable "scuffs and scratches" at the base of Washington's neck and the Glacier has a "nick/gouge" between the U and A in QUARTER. Am I within my rights to request replacements for these two coins? And, if so, what do you think will be the outcome?

Disclaimer: I've purchased from APMEX before and have never rec'd a bad product until now.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Miscellaneous FAQ

What is your return policy?

We guarantee your satisfaction at The American Precious Metals Exchange. We provide all our customers with a refund, return and/or exchange policy on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. This right is limited to three (3) days from the date on which the customer receives their items and notifies us, provided they are kept in their original packaging. On returning bullion related items, the customer may (at APMEX's discretion) be required to pay for any market loss on their returns. Any market gain on refunds shall remain the property of APMEX. We want our customers to be pleased with their purchases. If for any reason you have a problem, please feel free to call our offices and discuss it with us. We will always do our best to accommodate you. We do charge a 5% restocking fee on all credit card orders returned. If an exchange is requested, we reserve the right to find an acceptable replacement or refund your money.

How do I obtain a Return Authorization Number?

Should you elect to return an item from your order, you must do so during normal business hours of 8:00 -- 4:00 CST Monday -- Friday. All returns must be done over the telephone only, at which time you will be given a Return Authorization Number. At that time, if any market loss to The American Precious Metals Exchange has occurred, it will be calculated. You will not be charged the $35.00 (USD) cancellation fee to return an item or items. However you may (at APMEX's discretion) be required to pay for any market loss (Our Market Loss Policy) on your returns. If applicable, you may elect to pay the market loss by credit card or, we will invoice you and you will have thirty days to pay the market loss in full. No future orders may be permitted until that amount is paid in full. Any market gain on cancellations shall remain the property of APMEX.

Thank you for the response Go Thunder. I also read this on their site but was curious if anyone had personal experience with their customer service. I'm not going to be asking for a refund, as I purchased these when they were at their highest cost (3 days before silver took a dive recently) and would be required to make up the difference if I'm reading their terms correctly. I would simply like for them to replace the coins with two that were NOT scratched and gouged. I guess I'll find out how receptive they are to this request when I call them tomorrow. Thanks again for replying.

As long as you haven't had them for more than the 3 day max and didn't damage them yourself I can't see there would be any problem but I've never dealt with them.

I managed to get on a nice deal where I ordered from the mobile site and got free shipping on the Sovereign I just purchased. They were listed as random years, but I asked for a Victorian one in the hopes they may be able to accomodate me. I received a 1903 George V, but it does say that they are random years, so I can't really complain. The packaging was great as many have already pointed out.
