    It's been over a month since I placed my order. After multiple calls to APMEX, I initiated a search for missing mail with USPS myself as APMEX would not do it as policy was to wait longer, even though it was a 2-day delivery estimate according to tracking. My issue isn't with a missing package, that happens and it's not APMEX's fault, however, I expected a better response (any response actually) from APMEX representatives. I purchased my product on April 6th and today is May 8th. I don't have my product nor money but I do have another 3 week wait period for APMEX to begin its investigation... I've purchased from APMEX for almost 10 years but this experience will affect my purchasing habits with APMEX going forward.

    I made a thousand dollar purchase and only received the $2 coin capsule. The packaging was intact, very hard to open. APMEX told me they reviewed the video and the items were packaged. Liars! Do not trust.

    Terrible experience, placed order for $100k, now 5 days in to no feedback, "management still reviewing the offer", no option to cancel the order w/o a $5k penalty. Called multiple times with a runaround. Should have paid more attention to the online terrible reviews.

    Zero stars. This company is probably a scam, claim my package was delivered and that they did an investigation into it. But they won't file a USPS insurance claim on my behalf and just took 120 dollars from me and expect me to just accept that. Horrible company and horrible customer service. BEWARE.

    Updated on 04/16/2026: They sent what they have after I called sales team of APMEX from overseas. They did not have everything I paid 4 months ago so they canceled 2 to 5 items and got email that APMEX will refund me the exact amount of money I paid 4 months ago.

    Original: I am VIP status and I ordered one at Dec.9, and one at Dec 13. Both of them are still 'Order processing.' APMEX never explained why this is happening and when they will send it out but they are selling the product I am waiting with more expensive price at the moment. Is APMEX a trustworthy company? I guess not.

    My Comments: On or about 6 March 2026, I sent a package FedEx to APMEX LLC P.O. Box 269073 Oklahoma City, OK 73126-9073, containing 43 1971-1976 40% Silver Eisenhower Dollar BU for $17.50 each total $752.50 and 18 $1.00 Face Value 90% Silver 1964 Kennedy Halves BU for $36.86 for $663.55 for a subtotal of $1,419.78. My package arrived at APMEX on or about 09 March 2026. On 13 March 0838 hours, I received a phone message saying the silver I sent was all 40% silver. I acknowledged that I made a typing mistake. I was in then informed that I did not have enough silver to meet the minimum sales of $1,000. I was informed that my silver would be sent back to me.

    Several days had passed with no word from APMEX therefore, I called APMEX on or about 16 March 2026 and asked if they had sent my silver back to me and if so, I requested a tracking number for my package, “surely APMEX had been sent to me by that time”, but no, they did not. Indeed, I was told that my silver was still sitting there. I was then asked if I still wanted to sell my silver, which sounded suspicious because silver spot price had dropped over $6,00 an ounce from my original quote. Suspecting a scam, I said I didn’t want sell and told them to send my silver back to me. The representative then said I would have to pay the shipping cost. Obviously, that runs contrary to APMEX’s customer satisfaction guarantee. As of 24 March 2026, I haven’t heard anything from APMEX. Fortunately, I have all phone cons and written records that have relevance to this case.

    Placed order on 2/15/2026. APMEX emailed shipment to FedEx Oklahoma City 2/16/2026 it never progressed any further after that. I contacted them a week later about no movement on tracking number. Give it some time they said, okay. Now they gave me a claim number but all I receive are boiler plate emails stating investigation in progress. It’s now 3/23/2026 and get no response to email to Apex claims about refund. I bought coins from them years ago but something has changed with APMEX now. One physical phone call I was told we (APMEX) don’t experience shipping issues.

    This year was the first time ordering or buying silver period! I was unsure about buying precious metals online. However, I'm pleased after receiving my orders. They have great reviews when it comes to the authenticity and quality of their metals. Some of the negative reviews come from customer service but, I'm more concerned about receiving fake metals.

    I am a regular silver stacker. I understand the market has recently experienced unprecedented demand. However, APMEX has provided the WORST customer service of all bullion merchants I've dealt with. I ordered silver on 1/09/26. My order was lost by FEDEX. APMEX uses the cheapest ground shipping, so FEDEX was unable to tell me where my package was. Things happen. I opened a claim with APMEX on 2/3. Investigations should take "12-14 days" according to APMEx. I received last correspondence from APMEX regarding this on 2/13. 2/27 I wrote to inquire the status - NO RESPONSE. Today 3/5/26 I finally had to CALL to be told they decided to refund me on Monday - would have been good to have informed me of this.

    In the time it took APMEX to tell me they didn't know where my package was STILL, I received 2 silver orders from SDBullion (also priced cheaper). This is by far the worst customer service experience I've had purchasing bullion online. Absolutely DO NOT recommend this "reputable" merchant. They completely bungled my purchase AND screwed me out of the profits from the spot price of silver on the date of my purchase.

    Bullion Buyers BEWARE - this merchant offers Zero recourse, zero compensation efforts, and minimal updates. They'd rather refund you and sell the metal at a higher price in the rising market. Great customer service LOL. Maybe if they didn't cheap out on ground shipping, we wouldn't be here. Go literally anywhere else to receive your metals: SDBullion, Monument Metals, and Scottsdale Mint CONSISTENTLY outprice APMEX, and you'll actually receive your order.

    I had been a member for years, the customer service is poor, if they ship an order and never comes, they are no hurry to help you. My order never left Oklahoma City where they are located. Took over a month and a complaint to the BBB just to get them to refund me. I’m still waiting on the refund. I will not recommend this company.

    Was selling some odd size pieces of gold back to them (all purchased from them). The price they offered was low.. But I wanted to test the waters with a sell back to them (only around $3,000). I was told it takes 2-3 days once received before my funds are sent. After 1 week, I called and they confirmed it had been received and they are a day or two behind. I called again in 3 days, they said tomorrow. I called again the day after that and They said Tomorrow again. Now I can not get through on the phone, My emails are not getting responded to, and the online chat does not respond. I'm going to give it to the end of this week and then will hire an attorney. The customer service has been mostly non responsive and when I do connect, they are rude.

    Place is a joke. Someone gained access to my old account I forgot I even had and placed order to pay by check. Placed new order under new information only to be told I owed 200 something dollars or I can't proceed with new order. Told them to cancel everything. Paid 430.00 for 5 silver coins and get refunded only half. Took over 2 weeks to even get money back. Stay away from the turds unless you like losing money.

    APMEX is staffed by unprofessional, ignorant, and rude personnel. Nice to your face via phone or email until there is a problem. Then, it's always your fault and there's NOTHING they can do about it or help you with. Don't ask to quotes if you are selling. Find a reputable local buyer. Their Market Loss policy is a joke -- predicated on the idea that they are ALWAYS right and you are ALWAYS wrong. DO NOT become a new customer. Do not give them your banking or CC information. STAY AWAY from this shady site.

    I have been purchasing Silver from Apmex for years. They always deliver a quality product as described on their website, and deliver on time! I have never had a complaint yet! They also have a wide selection of products, and they list if the product is in stock, or, if it's not in stock, they provide you with an approximate shipping date! Apmex is my "go to" for precious metals!

    This company are thieves and lack of professionalism. I have cctv around the property in which my packages never arrived but received email that they did. 1k of money disappeared within the company. Fed ex did not pass by my property at said date dropping off said package. But if you put a claim against the company they will block your email and leave in a limbo. If this has happened to you, sue. I’m already hiring a lawyer to get my 1k back and more. This company should be put on the gov black list . Hopefully it will after I’m done.

    I have had no problems save one. They float your money. Sneaky way to make more margin. They collect my payment into their bank and won't shop for 7-10 business days. They have my money in their bank. Slippery accounting. Business speak from their customer service desk is we need to make sure there is no problems with the payment, reality is they have my money in their bank account.

    I buy mostly silver and have been quite happy with APMEX since I started. They have good prices and a GREAT selection of all the silver you could want. Both of the coins I bought here, a 2024 restrike of the Morgan and Peace dollars, are all that I hoped they would be. Beautiful coins they are.
