Placed my first order with them today. Was surprised by the high shipping cost. Added 7% to my total. Didn't bother me much however as I picked up some $25/oz silver for $15/oz.
Its all relative

What is $25/oz silver? Spot is no where near that?

They had some Credit Suisse bars which sell everyday on ebay for $25-40. & JM 5 oz bars which bring $100-$125. Now that I think about It must have been b/c of credit card. Shipping was somewhere around $20 then it raised up to $30 something when I started checkout. I didn't realize they charged extra for CC payment. O well, Now I know.
<< <i>Pay with a check instead of a credit card and shipping charges are more reasonable. >>
If you pay by Cashier's check/MO and not CC you get a 3% discount on the TOTAL, otherwise they charge you 3% of your order.
It is a pain though, I just spent half of my lunch break standing in line to get a Cashier's check. If I just sent a personal check, they would hold it for a full week or two.
Then I've got to mail it.
But on a larger order, I think it is worth saving the $.
On a different note, while I was at the bank I depositied some of the new Native American $1 and they looked at each roll and the teller told me that it was because people were trying to turn in quarters in the new dollar rolls.
I ended up with NWT 5oz, Silvertowne 5oz and I'm fine with those names then I got some APM unsealed bars.
I also placed an order for a lot of 1 oz bars which were supposed to be Credit suisse, Clearly stated this when I purchased them. They ended up being Pamp Suisse, All sealed in original package. I guess I'm fine with this as well as they sell around the same price if not better than credit suisse. I just assumed I would receive what I ordered. I wasn't aware they had the authority to send whatever they like.
I did receive the credit suisse 5 gram bar however lol.

I'd take the Pamp over the Credit Suisse anyday ... you did good.

Why? Is one better than the other?

<< <i>Well, to others some are woth $15/oz and others are worth $50 oz. Have some you want to sell me? I'll pay $20/oz for credit suisse or pamp suisse and many others. I'll send you a list if you like. >>
I know what you're saying, some people collect bars and I have a few I'll never sell but if it comes from a reputable company I consider it all good Silver.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
On the 16th I ordered ten 10 oz A-mark from Apmex.
I just wanted a little more silver bullion.

Nothing wrong with A-mark bars at all. I had placed an order for Credit suisse 1 oz bars and Johnson Matthey/engelhard 5 oz bars. These bars sell quite a bit higher, 50%-100% higher than A-mark bars b/c they have collectible value as well as the silver content. A-mark bars are just bullion unless they are USVI ingots.
