I placed my first order with them on the 5th, all in-stock items. Sent personal check which got there on the 8th. Still haven't received a shipping confirmation email after they said it would ship last thrusday or friday.
Edited to add: Just got off the phone with them after waiting another 5 minutes on hold. The girl said my first eligible shipping date on my first order (placed on the 5th) was the 18th and said my order has been sent to the shipping department but doesn't know when it will ship. Thought about cancelling my order (partly because of their CS and partly because of the drastic dive in PMs since my first order) but I won't do that to them as I would not want someone to do that to me.
Anyhoo.......
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Good luck to you both with your delivery,

I'd not be surprised by delays from anyplace these days. Not that I don't realize how it fells to be waiting as I have for several weeks now.

I expect that they didn't take your order/s unless they could replace that inventory for less. Possible they may have a hard time replacing it.

Ditto on the above statement same exact happen to me this morning. Only difference is my bank wire was sent in on 4-6-13 WTF. I ask the lady if they sell items that are not in stock her reply was the items were on the way from their supplier.

Some sellers are accepting MONEY, then blaming non delivery on 3rd parties.
The more the market gyrates, the probable longer the delays and excuses
Until the rubber band snaps and all the buyer has is an empty bag.

And it very well could turn out like this:

This is what happens in a hot market, the sales channels fill up with newcomers, some of whom operate on thin margins, and some of whom who operate mostly on their customers' money.
This is why I much prefer the dealers who've been around the block for a number of years. When things are stable, no problem - but it's when things get dicey that the risks rise, like now.
I knew it would happen.

<< <i>As long as you get your metal purchases, delays are nothing to sweat in the current market. Even the best of dealers are running into delays. >>
Agreed. If I have it I just have to store it. Might as well be stored on Goldmart's dime for a while rather than mine.
That's fine. I'm not in a huge rush and given the velocity of physical metals lately, that's not bad.
They also have an option where you can deposit your check to them in any Bank of America. That's a pretty cool feature that could come in handy in the future.

Now there's a serious issue of concern. Delays are one thing, but errors are something else entirely (and unacceptable)!

Not being able to get a mistake corrected is entirely unacceptable. The odds of a mistake are greatly increased as the amount of shipping being done increases. It's how the mistake is resolved that matters most.

<< <i>Are they always this way even when business activity is at a more normal level? >>
No, not with my first order. Came ASAP, within a few days.
