I have made 3 separate orders from APMEX, the first 2 came with no problem. The 3rd was said to be at the post office. It was not, apmex was notified that my silver had not arrived. They said they would put in a claim. Three days later they told me their investigation indicated the silver had been delivered to my P.O. box and my claim was declined. I now am out 48 bucks, not a king's ransom. I have e-mail proof of all that I have stated here.

The item was shipped via USPS with signature. USPS just left the shipment in the mailbox without signature. What a failure to rely upon USPS for a safe transaction. I could have easily said it never arrived.

I was worried after reading reviews from here and buying from APMEX, however I've made three purchases and have had no issues. I did have questions in which Chad from APMEX answered and was polite and helpful. I've bought with both JM Bullion and APMEX. I prefer APMEX even though it's a bit more expensive. The customer service I received was outstanding.

Black Friday sale I was online at the start of the sale. 8:00 EST sharp. I added the bullion on sale in my cart, then I tried to proceed with checkout and I got "scheduled maintenance" a few times and other errors too. Then my cart went empty! Their website is a joke! If they can't run a sale in a more organised and fair way, I can't recommend to anyone to use their site. I will personally not use it anymore. Sorry, there are a bunch of other dealers that treat customers better.

You would think that a company of this size would value their repeat clients (especially the ones they designate as VIP), but you would be extremely wrong..

It's hard to review a company I never heard of until my credit card was fraudulently charged. They apparently got a hold of my credit card, charged the account and claimed that I ordered a coin(s) or whatever from them online... They claimed that I signed the UPS delivery also, which I didn't but yet there exist a tracking number... I checked the tracking number online but it only indicated the city and state but not an actual address... Now if I had ordered it I would have known because there is ALWAYS a way to track these things; no emails exist from the order to the delivery date...
In addition, when I opened a claim with UPS and provided the tracking number, the site indicated 'cannot submit claim' and 'please contact the shipper (APMEX) for further assistance... Now why would I do such a stupid thing? They would ask me questions, thus having my information... That is the LAST thing I would do ... so no, I will not call them because I never ordered anything from them. If this happens to you, DO NOT contact them either... Open a claim with the police and contact your credit card company. This is very very suspicious.

Purchased 20 APMEX five-ounce silver bars when spot was just under $18/ounce for $1857 January 2018. Called APMEX to sell them back today (spot hovering over $27/ounce) but was quoted a paltry $2030 by their purchasing team. Essentially the spot price of silver rose over 50% but after the dust settles I profit 9% by doing biz with APMEX. Not savvy for any investor to conduct transactions in this manner. Glad I limited my initial purchase understanding that transaction fees and administrative costs with APMEX hamper profit off the back end. Sad to see others who bought triple digits were burned. Nobody speaks of the buyback side of things. Definitely something to consider unless you're trying to hold for the long run.

I was offended by the coins APMEX shipped me for my order. I purchased multiple rolls of supposedly "Brilliant Uncirculated" coins at the going retail price. The coins I received were absolute GARBAGE. I could not give these coins away. I felt ripped off enough to the point that I deleted/closed my APMEX and I will never do business with them again. They should be ASHAMED of themselves for the garbage coins they sent me. Complete waste of time.

I have been collecting the route 66 shields made by APMEX for the past 18 months and have all but one. They made the last but one shield and made only a very small amount which sold out immediately, resulting in most people not being able to complete their collection. I am now left with 7 coins and will never get the eighth as they won't be making any more. If you buy any coins from here DO NOT BUY A SERIES as it is pointless. Other than that just buy silver rounds. You can get the 7th Jack Rabbit coin at massively inflated prices.

Order 2 silver top coins and they lost it. Me and my wife spent so much with this company. And it’s sad I have to call to find out the latest on my own coin if they found it. You would think all the money me and my wife spent I would be treated better. First they sent me a box that was empty. Then I was told to take a picture of the empty box. So I did that another 2 weeks and no response. I had to call. Then I was told they have received my picture after I had to call but now I need a police report. No way especially what’s going on in this world and me being a ** man and what’s going on in the world. No way. Even the sales guy place a lot of money with them could not believe. This was the worst experience especially they losing my coin. And it’s get better. They mailed me a wrong coin I never ask for. I will be reporting them to the BBB. Because they took my money and never gotten my coins.

Hello, APMEX offer for my silver (45 rolls of 64 Kennedy halves) was approximately $4500 and they are selling the same amount for over $9800. Coinflation.com lists this amount of silver for $5048.91 with spot silver at 15.51. So I get clipped $548 below spot and they profit another $4813 on top. According to the APMEX website they only had 114 rolls for sale for the same average (Non BU 90% 1984 Kennedy Rolls). I understand that APMEX is in business to make money but I did not expect a desired profit of over $5000 minus their expenses. Based on these numbers I had to pass on their offer. I have bought from APMEX before and was completely satisfied with their sales process.

The metals I ordered arrived very quickly and the price was lower than a lot of other places. I was surprised that they didn't do signature confirmation for my order to be on the watch if you order. The only negative was that they had an order minimum but their prices were very good comparably. They also had a good selection and stock in comparison to some other online stores that were sold out. If I need to purchase again, I will definitely check them out.

SCAMMERS!!! Buyer beware. Their product is inferior and they do not stand behind it. Walmart sells their items and refuses to back it saying all complaints to be directed at company. Walmart's response to the negative public opinion is getting noticed. Shut down the horribly run company. I have 6 lawsuits I filed after being an Elite level customer (top 3%). I tried to EXCHANGE 6 defective items (the TEP packing was broken) and they refused. I'm not stupid. I doubt if gold moved in their favor they would not offer that option. The way they get you is they issue return labels at the 11th hour for the disputed items leaving you in the position to either take the damaged good or return them. They fail to recognize replacement value and diminished loss. STAY AWAY!

I love this company. They have always been fair and reasonable priced. However, they, as well as other bullion dealers around the country are overcharging way above spot. There is no oversight. When the spot went down, demand went up. Unfortunately, all bullion dealers didn’t freeze prices at the crash, they all went up as spot hit the floor. I could understand holding the premium during this crisis, but this looks similar to “price gouging” during a crisis. When we get on the other side of this crash, I question who I can trust.

Please buy your precious metals with another company online. I placed an order with them whom I used in the past. Money was taken out of my account to show the transaction went through. They advised me product will ship out the following week. Monday I check back and find my order was canceled by them because they needed to "speak to me" to confirm my order. They advised they emailed but never call because it is against their protocol. A customer would think everything was good to go when APMEX taken the full amount of the customer's bank account and would have no reason to check on the status until the ship date would take effect. Please don't waste any of your time..

Apmex is not a precious metals trader. It is a business. If the price of metals ever goes real high Apmex will refuse to buy. If the price goes too low they will just ignore the change or cite low inventory and preorders to prevent you from buying near spot. I'm sorry but if I cannot buy in the trough or sell in the peak essentially all apmex is saying is, "We aren't providing you an investment opportunity. We are selling you a product only under the conditions that it 100% benefits us." Preselling silver right now at 18, 19, 20. An OZ for standard bullion and coins while spot price has been hovering near 12 for days. Basically if you want to make money on precious metals Apmex is not the place. If you want to pay for overpriced collectors coins or 5 bucks above spot per oz of silver then this is your place.

I purchased some gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars through APMEX. The buy process was easy and the metals showed up as expected. Fast forward a few years. I go to sell them and the premiums they charge are INSANELY high. For example, palladium is trading at $2,588 an ounce right now. They are offering to buy it from me at $2279. That is over $300 below spot or almost a 12% fee. They claim that everyone is selling it right now which is why they are offering such low prices. Forgive my education in economics but if everyone were selling, wouldn’t the price of palladium be going down and not up? On to Silver, the sell price is over $1 below spot prices that is a little better 5+% margin but still too much. Don’t buy unless you plan to keep forever and pass on to your heirs. Otherwise you get screwed on the selling spread.

Excellent selection of products and FREE shipping on orders $99+, you cannot beat that! Customer service is also very knowledgeable and helpful. The account portfolio tool is wonderful for keeping track of your assets. The website is easy to navigate and very user friendly. I have exercised the option to sell back to APMEX in the past but do not recommend doing this unless it's an emergency situation.

Until recently APMEX was outstanding. Over the last 13 years, I have ordered from APMEX over $200,000 in gold and platinum that I store in my safety deposit box. And, I recommended them to several people. During these 13 years, they have grown from a small company to one of the largest. However, APMEX has now become a criminal organization because they will first take your money and after your check has cleared your bank, they will then find issues in your order.
Especially, like in my case where the market value of my order increased by almost $1,000. They refused to fill my order until after I resolved some issues and they intended to cancel my order and resell at the much higher current market price if I didn’t respond to an email within 48 hours. As a long-term customer, APMEX had zero reasons to find any issues and I was able to resolve the issues and they shipped my order. However, I was certainly worried for a couple of days. Their intent was to cancel my order since the price had increased. I believe there would have been no issues if there had been a price drop.
If APMEX has any reasons for issues, they should post it on their website or otherwise notify you and give you the opportunity to resolve the issues before they accept your order. Certainly APMEX shouldn’t wait until after your check has cleared and they have your money to find issues. Their so-called justification is that some people will use an alias to place an order and APMEX will use that as an attempt to cancel the order if there is a significant increase in the market price or perhaps even to keep your money.
Regardless, whether their issues are use of an alias and/or some other reason, the customer should be given an opportunity to resolve the issues before making payment. Otherwise, if they receive payment, they should fill the order. I don't recommend APMEX unless you first call and talk to them to make sure they will have no issues. Instead I recommend "Only Gold" or "JM Bullion." Both companies sell gold, silver, platinum, etc. and have very good prices.

After being a platinum member for a number of years I now know that Apmex does not care about correct pricing AT ALL on its site.

I was informed that by having an additional APMEX window open that it negates the 10 min price Lock window by auto updating every 60 seconds. This is an unacceptable answer and they should have offered to deduct the $0.16, as that was what I agreed to and there is NO MENTION of that kink anywhere on the site.

I placed an order with Apmex for 30 gold Krugerrands. In 5 separate orders of 4 coins each. One order was me selling back 70 5 oz sunshine bars and then paying a difference of about $272 to receive my first 4 gold coins. I shipped back the sunshine bars and then after shipping them back Apmex refused to communicate with me or answer my questions.
I had a concern and wanted to understand how the process went forward step by step. My biggest concern was getting assurances that assaying the metal received would be timely. Because it would be very easy for a company after the fact to say the product sent in wasn’t authentic or not the right quantity or really anything. So I asked for clarification on the process. Which Apmex did NOT provide. I then went and purchased a money order for the $272 difference. I called them to tell them I was mailing in the money order. At which time I was informed they don’t accept money orders.
Ok so I then went purchased a prepaid credit card for $200/each and emailed them two credit card numbers. Then they informed me they could not accept 2 credit cards for the order. So I then emailed them ONE credit card number and they refused to process the credit card because it was emailed in directly to the sales rep instead of called in. They then cancelled my order and charged me a cancellation fee and other penalties.
I would not recommend Apmex simply because it would seem that any company that can’t recognize if a person is spending $30,000 at one time they may want to have more not less communication then they aren’t in the business of truly addressing customer needs and concerns. I would highly recommend you consider an alternate to Apmex if you wish to stay informed throughout the processing of your order.

A very good experience with my first order from APMEX. First off, it came very quickly. It was sent out faster than any other company I have purchased silver or gold from. The order was for 4 silver coins and one silver bar. They packaged it very well. I am used to USPS destroying things that are sent to me, so this was nice to see it so well packaged. The silver was first wrapped in a little bubble envelope, then taped to the inside of a small but thick cardboard sleeve box. This double packaging method ensures that the silver doesn't slide around even if it takes a hit, and it's away from the corners where hits most often can damage them.
2 of the coins came just in little plastic bags instead of flip. I didn't like that, but at least they were sealed in the plastic which does protect them. The bags are harder to inspect the coins because of the writing on them, but easier to keep them clean the two other coins came in plastic flips, that were then sealed in the little plastic bags. The Bar was in its own sealed plastic that was thick and lets me inspect the silver. 3 of the coins were absolutely perfect when I examined them. The South African Krugerrand has very slight tiny bumps on the outer rim of the front side. It is so slight however that I'm not concerned, and the dots seem to be from the manufacturing at the mint, not from any mishandling by APMEX.
The bar was the APMEX brand 1 ounce silver bar. The symbol and writing on the bar seems very nice and clean, however along the outside edge when looking face on to the bar, there was a noticeable ridge that went along most but not all of the outside edge. Looking edge on it didn't seem that it was a bent edge, so I can only assume its a tiny bit of extra silver. It's not too bad, and the writing on the bar is very nice so overall I'm pleased. I will most likely be buying more of there brand bar because I like the look of it, so I will report back if the error is on all the bars or just the first one I bought.
Since I had no major issues with the order, I can't really comment on the customer service except that when I asked questions before purchasing, they did respond back to me. I received info from them on a frequent buyers program of some sort, and I will be using that in the future. In all, I am very pleased with my first purchase from this company, and will be making more purchases in the near future of silver, and perhaps some platinum. I hope this review helps anyone interested in this company for buying their silver.

I can attest that this company has bad customer service. My account was disabled due to a billing error; I wasn't even informed that it was getting disabled and I never got a call back even after the payment issue was resolved, despite the fact that I had requested to speak to someone about this issue when it was resolved. My account is still disabled by the way. Oh and they also charge you ~$35 to cancel an order even a few minutes after you submit the order. Very ridiculous.

You can buy certified coins online for a few dollars more than you can at Apmex - this represents a much better value. I would consider what I received to be be nothing more than silver bullion.

APMEX does not have a minimum purchase amount, and gives ordinary people like me the opportunity to start investing small and working my way up as I go.
Right now, I have made two separate purchases and have been very happy. So far, I have roughly thirty or so ounces of silver, and will be buying more shortly. The reputation of APMEX and their customer service has been terrific. My orders ship within two days and the insurance is included.

At first I did have a negative experience related to my payment method. I had made a mistake and selected the wrong payment method.
Getting that payment method changed and corrected took a little bit of effort, in this case, but to be clear the mistake was mine. After a short delay and after following up with APMEX on the telephone (I spoke with Nick), the problem has been corrected. APMEX also has an active social media presence and they reached out from there to provide additional assistance. I have bumped my review up to 5 stars.
APMEX has really reached out and taken care of my problem. They have demonstrated that they value me as a customer. I will continue to purchase precious metals from them. Precious metals are a big part of my retirement plan and also a part of my children's college fund.
As such I plan to make purchases periodically into the future. Thank you APMEX- you corrected my problem, took care of me and, and have earned my continued business and loyalty.
Original Review: March 21, 2019
I am a former APMEX customer and have invested close to $10,000 in precious metals via APMEX. I'm am set to invest 10s of thousands more over the next 20 years as that precious metals are a big part of my retirement plan and a key component of my children's college savings accounts. You might imagine my disappointment when I fell victim to their ridiculous fee schedule. I attempted to make a purchase of one gold coin and several other silver coins on the event of the birth of my second son. Upon birth, each of my children get a gold coin. Then, they receive silver dollars on their birthday every following year. I loaded my cart and checked out- but I accidentally hit the credit card payment method instead of the "pay by check" method. Note- be aware that APMEX will charge you an exorbitant fee to use your credit card- that $1,300 gold coin would have a $140.00 credit card fee attached to it!
Having selected the wrong payment method, I immediately called "customer service" to make the change from credit card to check but was denied the ability to make the change. I don't believe that in this day and age of instant communication that it was "too late" to make the change. So my plan was to simply cancel the order and resubmit it with the correct payment option. I was told they would charge me $35.00 to cancel my order. I explained the situation, pointed out the amount of money I had spent in the past with APMEX and also the amount of money I plan on spending in the future. I requested that they waive the fee. I have found that if you are polite and can thoughtfully present a good reason, most businesses will make exceptions in cases like this. They would not.
I followed up with a email, politely explaining the situation and making the request, and I received a generic reply. You know, the type of reply that is just copied and pasted and does not address one thing that I said in my email. It was very disappointing. It just rubs me wrong that after bringing my past business to APMEX and with all of my potential future business, that APMEX would instantly choose to hold me to a $35.00 fee instead of making the 10's of thousands of dollars in future sales. Yes, I made the mistake when I selected the payment option and yes APMEX has a policy. But I also have the option to take my business elsewhere- to a place with real customer service, reasonable policies, and a personal touch that is clearly absent at APMEX. That is what I have done. There are plenty of other metals retailers out there and I would vehemently advise you to use them instead of AMEX.

I ordered around 3/4/2019 a 1g gold and 2g silver. The USPS was supposed to delivered on 3-8-2019 then tracking number verification stopped on 3/8/2019. The internet tracking was not helpful as it did not have any other record except delivery delay. I went to two post offices to see if I can get it from them but 1st post office did not have merchandise, went to second post office where letter carriers are based and in adjacent city - not there also.
I called APMEX - got my tracking number, AND THEY SAID 4-6 weeks investigate and they need to file with their insurance carrier. Meanwhile I don’t have my gold and silver and the one hundred plus dollars I spent on them. I called PayPal as the ones I used and started a dispute. Customer service stated 4-6 weeks for resolution and was told that since I filed a dispute then so can’t claim on their insurance. I was told in a rude email that it was my fault that I disputed with PayPal that now I will not be able to file a claim with their insurance.

Apmex sells rare coins. Some are quite scarce and highly desirable, at least as pictured. Apmex uses stock photos, and it discloses that the item pictured may not be the same as the item sent. For eBay transactions, Apmex does not allow returns. So the picture of the coin that you fell in love with may look dramatically different than the coin you receive. And if you do not like what you get, you are stuck with it due to the no return policy. In other words, Apmex is selling you a pig in a poke. You really have no idea whether you like what Apmex will actually send. But there is no assurance that it will be anything like the pretty picture they use to sell it. Instead there is a warning that it might not.
Not long ago, I found a beautiful picture of an example of a particularly rare coin being sold by Apmex on eBay. It was for sale for about $2500, which was the full retail price. I liked the pictured coin and wanted to buy it. But I wanted the coin in the picture, not something that had the same date and grade, but which might look totally different.
So, I sent Apmex and eBay message asking them to check serial numbers and let me know if the coin in the picture was the one they would be selling. Because this coin is so rare, it seemed unlikely that any dealer would have more than one in stock, and it shouldn’t take too much time to open the vault and look. Apmex told me they would not do it. I sent additional emails advising that I would buy the coin immediately upon confirmation of what I would be getting. Apmex did not respond to any of my emails. I could only surmise that Apmex did not have the pictured coin in stock, and was proposing to send whoever bought whatever they were selling something different. I did not fall for the pig in the poke. I warn you that buying from Apmex through eBay involves incalculable risk and a good chance of disappointment.
Buying directly from Apmex is somewhat less abusive. You get seven days to return an item, but may be subject to a 10% restocking fee. So, if a pretty picture induces you to buy what might be an unseen coin, you only lose 10% of your money if they send you something you dislike. What a deal. I’m not into precious metal bullion. I’m a coin collector. Buying bullion from these guys may work out just fine, but I would never buy a rare coin from these people.

He explained the purchase process, the expected shipping time, and basically walked me through my first purchase. I tracked my check deposit and my shipping.

Damon, I just wanted to memorialize in print our communication. Your company is refusing to buy back your gold at the noted spot price and are only offering to pay me $1331 which is $25 less than the current value and less than I originally purchased the gold from you. You state inventory as the cause. Your company is depriving me of taking value from my holdings and profiting. This feels like a scam. Unfortunately I was uninformed when I initially bought gold from you paying $1675.60 for Australian Lunar when spot price was $1335.59.
Your company profited $2040 from that transaction and I will probably never profit from the sale of that gold in my lifetime. My education has come late. But it seems it is impossible to profit from the ownership of gold with your company. I do plan to seek advise from the Securities Commission regarding protocol on social media to bring a 'buyers' beware message for public good. I have reached out to other companies.

This has completely turned me off and I will never buy or sell to APMEX again. Be aware of this when you try to sell to them. They may try to scam or rip you off.

I've purchased many gold coins, silver coins, and silver bars from APMEX over the years and was very happy with them until now. I am purchasing a home so called to find out buy-back procedure and they quoted me well under spot price. Their website, however, has always indicated that they will always at least buy back at spot or maybe a tad over which I now know is completely inaccurate. Find someone else folks. APMEX has lost me as a loyal customer forever.

I was just satisfied with the customer service response. I got back a reply in a timely manner with a decent offer which was comparable with what my research proved. Therefore I have no complaints against this company as far as a timely response. According to my research on the worth price, this company is on it and they gave me what I expected according to the weight and karat. They were honest in their prices. I am happy to say they are very knowledgeable in the field of gold and precious metals. I knew what I was owed and they gave me what it was worth. I have no complaints or discrepancies with their offer. I was happy to do business with them because they offered me a choice of payment options which meeted my choice and need. Thank you.

I am a real critic when it comes to customer service and I see potential with APMEX. Overall I had a good experience, timely, and my questions were answered thoroughly. Their prices were affordable but not too cheap either, though it would work for the middle class just right. Payments were doable, though I wish there was for ease of accessibility and protection, and could be a little quicker as the longer the process the less likely I am to complete at the moment. But it got the job done. I am dumbfounded when it comes to this business, so I rely 100% on the industry knowledge that this company has. I've come to trust what I learn from them and I have not had any major problems since.

APMEX knew more about the industry than I did. I feel they are the leading and most secure company when it comes to the knowledge and education of their service. I was assisted by a friendly rep who answered all my questions I had regarding my investment and also explained process before I was even a customer. The prices were very fair and they reflected the true fair market value at the time of my purchase. Any concerns I had about price changes were guaranteed by representative. The way in which I was given to pay satisfied me. I am a new customer and would be interested in using another method if it becomes available in the future. The methods available are in fact satisfactory.

The customer service with APMEX was great. I dealt with them about five times regarding some of my orders. Any problems I had the customer support team always handled it in a swift manner and got my problem taken care of very quickly. I was happy with the price transparency when dealing with APMEX. When I did some research to look at the price transparency among other companies, APMEX always had the best deal for what you were getting. APMEX had a great deal of knowledge. Whenever I need help with any of my purchases or just questions in general about the company, the support people I spoke with were always very knowledgeable in their field of work. I liked that APMEX had different payment options for whatever you were purchasing. I used a few different payment options on several orders and all of the orders went very smoothly.

Customer service answered all my questions and took time working with me. They helped me make the right purchase for me. APMEX does everything right from sale to delivery. APMEX is great, started investing a few weeks ago in bullion. Literally stumbled upon APMEX on a search engine, having no knowledge of any sources of bullion. Found APMEX first and decided to purchase two 1 Oz. Silver Eagles and let me say, APMEX has exceptional customer service as well as products. They really put care into handing the precious metals and ensuring it makes it to your door the correct way. 100% satisfied so far, believe I'm up to 5 separate purchases now and will continue to stay loyal to APMEX if they continue to carry out their business in this high quality fashion.
At the end of the day it's bullion, but it's very important to make sure you know the people you're buying it from, as demonstrated in a local coin and collectible shop. In conclusion, go APMEX, you rock. APMEX customer service and shipping are outstanding. Each time I place an order the next day it is ready to ship. A few hours later the tracking info comes over to my email and takes about 3 days until I receive the product. All products arrive in perfect condition each sealed in plastic bag. Great job APMEX! I will continue to buy only from this seller. They offered a wide variety of payment options - e-check, bank or personal check, or credit card. I have used PayPal and I worked great. My order was placed and it arrived a day earlier than expected.

You can call, chat, or email them. I have not tried it anyway. But I assume that given the number of options to contact them, they are available to help. They have tools online regarding gold and silver prices. And it's clearly listed on the website... the deals also list the price. They claimed they are the leading precious metals retailer in the US so I assume they are very knowledgeable. They also celebrate 15 years so that should mean they know their stuff. They accept different kinds of payments - credit cards, PayPal, check, bank wires. They also allow to change payment method... using certain types of payment give you discount.

I have never been displeased with APMEX. Hopefully they think I am a good customer. I have never had a problem with any order. This is, however, the first "pre-order" I have made. I have no worries, though. I have had a number of buying experiences with APMEX and they have all been first rate and I would recommend this company to anyone interested in precious metal type transactions. APMEX continues to have great prices and a very simple, easy ordering process. Ordering is quick and painless, shipping is always fast and coin quality is also excellent. Much better than Kitco, all the way around. No longer need to send a check in the mail. This is so awesome! Thank you APMEX for setting this up for your customers. This new feature is considered five stars in my book!
