I registered with Goldmart today and placed an order. I want to pay by bank wire however I have yet to receive an invoice or any information on the wiring instructions. How long do I need to wait on it? It's been roughly 5 hours now, I left a msg, rec'd a thanks for registering and sent and email to sales. No response. I don't want the order to get cancelled. Just curious on how they normally work with wires.

Try giving them a call. Their phone number is listed on the website.

I have multiple times and left a message, no ones answering there. Maybe they're closed today? Seems odd unless it's a much smaller operation than I think.

IDK, but Goldmart has a very high reputation among forum members. From their glowing reviews, I wouldn't worry.

I've never seen their online questions sections offline. So with that being offline, no answered call, sounds like they may be closed. I have several major vendors in my industry that are closed this week.

I didn't want to pay the extra money for the bank wire, so I sent a personal check. But if I remember correctly, I got the email about mailing instructions fairly quick

As a regular customer, I got the following e-mail from them yesterday: Quote: Goldmart.com is in the process of moving our corporate offices from Newport Beach, CA to Carson City, Nevada. The move should be completed by this coming July 9th or sooner.
If you have a paid order that is still pending to ship, please remain patient. Your order will ship the same day our internet service provider activates our service.

Thanks you two, I'm just hoping their system doesn't see me initiating it on the 5th and not having sent my wire w/ in the 2 days they have listed and tryign to charge my credit card the 5%. It's already on hold. I want to send a wire as I work for a credit union so it's no charge to me. I'm trying to remain patient but w/ the falling silver prices I want to know my order took because if not I'm ready to throw my money at other sites.
The 9th's not bad, I just wish they'd put a banner on the homepage or something or an automated email atleast saying we're moving please wait. I don't mind waiting it's just not getting any sort of response or msg anywhere.

Speaking of goldmart, their PM tickers appear to be stuck. The prices haven't moved for hours and are currently quite a bit higher than other sites such as kitco.
I think somebody forgot to plug something back in after the move...

I spoke w/ them on Mon & Tues, they definatly had some issues and were slammed w/ the move. Monday they got the phones up around 4pm Eastern and Tuesday they eventually got the computer system back online. I was able to get them to send the wire instructions to me around roughly 2pm Eastern time so atleast they're back up and running albeit they're busy. We'll see how long it takes from me sending my wire yesterday to the package showing up at my door.

Looks like their spot prices are still not updating, so I definitely won't be buying anything from them until they get that fixed.

Thought I'd update this, just got this mass email from them & yes this was 1 paragraph not my formatting.
Dear Valued Goldmart.com Customer,
We want inform you that we have completed our 500 mile move from Newport Beach, CA to Carson City, NV. During the move we encountered many logistcal and technical setbacks. We apologize for any anxiety or frustrations that you might have experienced. Our apology is genuine and comes from experience because we became frustrated from all the setbacks we incurred. The move was twice as much work as anticipated and we had half the help as our employee who oversees customer service emails and phone messages decided not to make the move two days before our scheduled departure after confirming he was coming a week prior. Another set back we incurred was when we sent out a bulk email through our bulk email service to notify our customers that we were moving and for whatever reason the bulk email service flagged the notification email and was only sent to a small fraction of our customers rather than our entire list. (We are using a different bulk email service to send this email.) Once we arrived in Carson City we incurred more logistical problems with AT&T activating our internet. We had hoped our internet would be activated on the morning of July 5th but activation wasn't available until late afternoon on July 9th. Our first priority was to start shipping orders but ran into another technical set back. After networking our computers we downloaded the newest version of software we use to process and ship orders but in so doing we lost all current data that we needed to close out orders. (We ended up spending all day Tuesday working on recovering the data and finally completed the data retrieval Wednesday around noon.) Later on Tuesday we ended up losing our live price feed due to the company supplying going out of business. (We are now currently using the Kitco Ask price to place trades over the phone, we hope to have a new live price feed by the end of the week, new orders now need to be temporarily placed over the phone until you see the live prices updating on our home page when refreshed.) Besides all these complications, we have some great news for you. We started shipping Wenesday afternoon and anticipate all backdated orders to be shipped and completed at the latest by this coming Monday July 16th. We look forward to getting back to our status quo of providing our customers with the best pricing on the internet, exceptional customer service, and extremely fast processing time for shipping and fulfilling orders. We learned alot from this move but won't be able to use it as we are firmly settled in the state of Nevada for good. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and support. We take pride in serving all of our customers and the community of stackers who participate on all the different precious metals forums, with you all we would not be in business. We hope you appreciate us and the services we provide as much as we appreciate you. Yes, sometimes we occasionally make mistakes but we try to be as transparent as possible, we understand we are in no means perfect yet we still strive for perfection. Thank you again for your business and if you have any feedback or suggestions we are open ears so please reply to this email. (All emails will be read but might not be responded to due to our current under staffing and current work load we have to have completed by July 16th.)
Sincerely,
Goldmart.com
