I ordered a 10 oz silver bar on Jan 31, have not received it yet. Looking at the Ebay profile I note many negatives. I am working with Ebay to resolve issue. Just letting everyone know.

I've ordered many things from them on ebay and never had a problem.

I'm reading some of the neg fb, and must admit, there are numerous "brain dead" morons out there bidding on ebay items.

Weather related maybe? Where are they out of, some parts of the Country are dealing with extreme weather.
The package is tracked to my hometown and stops on February 5th.
Sounds like you've got an issue with PO tracking and not the seller, could be weather related.
THanks
I knew it would happen.
The seller is required by the USPS to initiate the investigation, as a buyer receiver I cannot do that. The seller produced the tracking number with their shipper, they have to initiate the claim and so far have not done so.
Nonsense...the seller is not required to initiate a claim. Bullion is not insurable via the USPS, UPS or FEDEX. Insurance is only available if the item is mailed via registered mail. Most big bullion dealers, and they are one of the largest, are self insured. You will receive a refund if your bar is not delivered within a certain time frame. In addition, you can also file a non receipt claim with eBay. Again, after a certain time frame, you will receive a refund. I know it's a PITA, but patience on your end is required.
contact, it was quickly resolved. Cheers, RickO
Just today received a $4k order from them. Purchased 2/11.
They are in Bridgwater, MA. Phone number on their invoices is 888-960-4880. My guess is they will do what it takes to to keep a customer and to avoid neg feedback.
Tracking indicates they did ship it and it is USPS problem. Don't hold it against BPM unless they fail to assist you.

"Due to concerns about security, the company does not have a website."
U.S. federal government's largest supplier of precious metals.
One of only a dozen US Mint authorized bullion purchasers. This takes very big bucks.

Now you're saying it was UPS that delivered it, was it to your house or to a P.O. Box you have at your P.O.?
If it to your house, maybe it was stolen from your mailbox/porch? I've had UPS deliveries that are barely in my yard let alone on my porch, they're horrible, that absolute worst. I will not buy from a seller, of anything, not just pm's, that insists whatever the item is must be sent using UPS.
When it is more cost effective for UPS to pay USPS to complete a delivery (out in the boonies, or whatever) they do so.

I now understand what the situation is but it was presented in a fragmented discombobulated manner.
He's saying he didn't get the shipment. It shipped UPS and in midstream was to be handed off to USPS for final delivery. USPS is saying they never got it from UPS.

Thanks for the clarification, and to try and answer your question...I have no idea LOL.

They must read these boards or someone here reads it to them. I note in the sellers negative reply's that they are all dated yesterday Feb 17th.....
I understood everything until here.

And yes Cu Kevin it is confusing... Bay Metals reads these posts. Or someone on this board works there or knows them..I did not get any action on this, real action until after my post here on this board on the 17th of February. Maybe this is a coincidence. My problem with Bay Metals is the lack of communication from them to me during this process on this tiny order. I hope it does not happen to anyone here ever.
Sometimes he thinks there's a thief in the midst.
coins and things used to be a small coin shop right in the center of bridgewater run by an older guy. He was well regarded , I remember buying things from him and then many years later going back and the shop was gone.
If you looked on the internet it would still come up however as an active store. I had asked around at other shops and was told that the older guy had died and his son was running the business but it was not a retail shop anymore. Everyone had good things to say about the old man I don't know anything about the son. I heard that they were one of the parties that deal in bulk ASE purchases from the mint though , I remember hearing that at least 5 years ago , I'm not sure of the link to bay precious metals
I think they are located in a big brick building on route 18 now
Sounds like it was scanned by UPS when it was dropped off and wasn't scanned in at the PO by USPS. Maybe by accident, maybe on purpose.

I think its stupid of sellers to use these hybrid shipping services . I sell on ebay and whenever I'm shipping I tend to use a mixture of USPS and Fed ex so I always check every option for cost or delivery time advantages as a seller. Every time I look at something like Fed ex smartpost it is either more expensive than fed ex ground or it may be 50 cents to a dollar less but take days longer.
I cant understand why anyone would choose an option that saves such a small amount but add days to the transit time and add the risk of a handoff along the way.

I believe the decision to hand off to USPS is made after the pickup by UPS and is out of the control of the shipper. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe you're correct. It's a logistics thing that he bean counters at both services decided on.
