Midwest Refineries.....turnaround time? UPDATE!

AUandAG

Anybody have a guess? Are they quick, slow or okay?
Week, two?
How's their customer service. I spoke to them and they seemed fine but
would like any input from those that have used.

thanks,

Meltdown

I've used them a few times. Their turnaround time the first couple times were very quick. A check was mailed within a day or two or receiving. The 3rd time, nearly a week had past. When I phoned them, they were apologetic and metioned being behind schedule. It was a few days after that they sent my check.

2 out of 3, I was pretty happy overall.

Thanks, my search function no longer works with the Firefox 4.0.

Interesting read. At the mercy of the smelter! However, some don't really have a legit
gripe. Sterling is rarely .925 and often even under .900. Gold when marked is almost
never what it says. Legally 14k can be anywhere between 12.1k and 14.0. It has to be
marked pure in order to be sure it's 14k.

I don't expect 100% from any smelter. I calculate sterling at .850 and gold at the lesser
k marking.

I just was wondering about the turn around times lately.

thanks,

I sent some items to them a couple of months ago,

I received a check 7 business days from the day I mailed the items.

7 days is average for me as well, from the day I send the item to the day I receive the check. Anywhere from 6 to 9 days.

But I don't use them anymore. As I stated in one of the earlier threads they seemed to be on the low side. I now use another refinery that is much, much better, especially on gold transactions, although their timetable is about one week longer. I agree that about 10% is going to be "lost" in melting, purity, etc...., but when it got up to 30%, I stopped using Midwest Refineries. I only wish I would have switched over sooner.

UPDATE:

Just got my check! All is wonderful!!

My weight was 31.88 there's was 31.815.

I expected .850 on the sterling (marked .925) and it was .901.

They paid 90% of net troy (27.555) for a net net of 24.799 at the
then market price of $38.25.

Received on 3/28 and settled on 4/4
