efficiency and easy payment with secure shipment
Thank you for your feedback, Janusz. We’re glad the process felt efficient, with easy payment and secure delivery throughout.
Communist Canuck's. The price is great if you have 5k or more to spend. But unbenounced to me before receiving purchase they require you to upload your I.D. for some bullshit KYC law up in maple syrup land. I wired the money. Meaning that, yes, I have already been verified in person by my bank. Horrible tidus experience, just spend the extra spread in the U.S.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Kaleb. We understand how a step like this can catch you off guard. From time to time, a quick verification is part of how we keep everything running smoothly and ensure orders are handled safely. We’re always working to make the process as clear and seamless as possible, and if you ever need a hand, we’re here.
kitco received my silver on January 30, 2026. It is March 24, 2026 and they still have not paid me. Kitco claims they have opened the box, verified the material and inventoried it without documenting which materials were mine when they were verifying my box. All my metals were mixed among their inventory. Although my metals have been verified as pure, they won't pay me, because they are unsure of which coins were mine, even though we already agreed to a set amount and have proof that the weight delivered matches the agreed upon sale. In short, Kitco is holding me the customer hostage for their inventory hiccup. This is asinine. I no world would a consumer be able to delay payment to Kitco because " they opened a bunch of boxes and forget which metals were kitco's." even though all material received was pure and placed into inventory with other authentic metals. I will file a fraud claim if this isn't resolved asap.
Thank you for your patience while we looked into this, Jeff. We know it took longer than expected, and there was some miscommunication on our side that may have caused confusion. Our team has been working closely with everyone involved to make sure your case was handled carefully and thoroughly. We’re happy to confirm that a resolution has now been reached. One of our supervisors tried to reach you yesterday and will be calling again today to walk you through the details. Thanks again for your patience, and we look forward to connecting with you soon.
Excellent price, service and inventory.
Thank you for the great feedback, Jane.
I have used Kitco for sell orders multiple times in the past without issue. However, my most recent transaction has been extremely problematic. I initiated a sell order for 5 American Gold Eagles on February 9, 2026. Initially, I was told there would be a 5 business day delay, which later became 10, and eventually up to 30 business days. This felt like a bait and switch. After nearly a month, on March 9, I was informed that the package did not contain the five coins. They then initiated an internal review and insurance process, stating it could take up to 90 business days from when the claim was opened, not from when I shipped the package. I followed all shipping instructions carefully, including securely packing and double boxing the contents. Despite this, I was required to provide photos and even obtain a notarized letter explaining how I packaged the shipment, at my own expense. According to UPS tracking, the package was reported damaged by Kitco on March 6. However, on March 10, both the investigation and insurance claim were closed by UPS because they were unable to contact the receiver, which in this case is Kitco. On March 16, I discovered this myself through UPS tracking and confirmed it directly with a UPS representative. Kitco had no knowledge that the claim had been closed and had been operating as if everything was proceeding normally. I had to inform them of the status. This indicates they were not actively monitoring the claim. Had I not taken the initiative to check and follow up, this may have gone unnoticed entirely. Kitco has since said they are “following up,” but I have received no meaningful update. They continue to repeat that the process may take 90 business days, despite clear mishandling of the situation. I find it highly concerning that processing delays increased significantly, followed by a claim that my nearly $25,000 shipment was empty, refusal to provide footage of the package being opened, and then a failure to properly manage the UPS claim. At this point, I am still out $25,000 and have serious doubts about whether this will be resolved properly given how the case has been handled so far.
Thanks for sharing this with us. We’re sorry for the delays you’ve run into and appreciate your patience while we’ve been managing a much higher volume of activity than usual. This isn’t the experience we aim to provide. We understand your concerns about the claim and want to reassure you that it’s being followed closely on our end. We’ve been in contact throughout this process and continue to review carefully with all parties involved. These reviews can take some time, but they are an important part of making sure everything is looked at thoroughly. We know the wait isn’t easy, and we really appreciate your patience while this moves forward. We’ll continue to keep you updated directly as things progress.
Honest trustworthy and reasonable pricing with secure delivery
Thank you for the kind words, Christopher. We’re happy to hear everything went smoothly and that you felt confident in the process.
Nice that Kitco provides free shipping to them. They answer their correspondence in 24h. Takes about 28 calendar days to process sales to them right now - AI advises not to lock in price but let Kitco price items when they arrive at their facility to expedite; probably best to check this out with them.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Henry. We’re glad to hear shipping went smoothly and that our team was quick to respond. With the recent spike in market activity, processing did take a bit longer than usual, though our turnaround times are normally much faster and are already moving back toward normal. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and if any questions ever come up before sending metals in, our team is always happy to help.
I was charged by Kitko 1300$ on my credit card after I cancelled my shipment. How this make any sense? This is total scam! In comparison if I bought gold from ETF and sold it with some loss, the Gold ETF doesn't take all the profits! There is a buyer who benefit, no the ETF take it all! With Kitko, there is not a buyer on the other side! So they go ahead and take the difference on the top of the cancelation fee. What a profitable business! I am going to complain to BBB for this scam. Besides they were overcharging taxes, claiming the state taxes so this was the reason for my cancellation! They also told me that I will receive a call to discuss the situation. They were lying. I didn't receive any call. Week later, in Sunday afternoon my credit card was changed with 1300$ they claimed" because of the spot price faulen. No transaction was made, no buyer on the other side to benefit. Well Kitko took it all without moving a finger. How this can be legal?
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how important it is to have clear information around fees and what happens next, especially when an order is cancelled. When an order is confirmed and later cancelled, a cancellation fee can apply if the market price has changed in the meantime. That said, we want to make sure everything, including the tax calculation and the charge, is fully reviewed and clearly explained. We’ve requested your contact details so a supervisor can connect with you directly, review the order together, and walk through what happened. We appreciate the opportunity to look into this with you.
On January 23, 2026, I entered into a sales agreement with Kitco to sell my silver bullion at an agreed-upon price. The silver was received by Kitco on January 28, 2026, as evidenced by the provided screenshot. However, I was informed that the processing, testing, and release of funds would take 3-5 days. Subsequently, the timeframe was extended to 10 days, then to 15 days, and finally to 30 days. This situation is highly unprofessional from a company like Kitco, which prominently displays your seal of approval on its website. This behavior borders on malfeasance. I have had to call Kitco daily, which is a 30-45 minute ordeal, to be informed that they have not had time to process my order. Despite my efforts to connect with a human representative, the calls frequently disconnect. While I understand that Kitco may have been overwhelmed by the sudden surge in silver prices, it is concerning that they have not increased their staff or working hours to accommodate the demand. Furthermore, the longer I am without my funds, the greater the percentage loss on the $30,000 investment. However, Kitco is profiting from the daily holding of this $30,000. This situation raises serious concerns about potential malfeasance. In my numerous attempts to speak with a human representative at Kitco regarding this issue, I was told that a note would be made and the matter would be escalated. However, I have received no further communication from Kitco beyond emails instructing me to be patient. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with Kitco’s treatment of its customers, especially considering your high endorsement. As of this note, I'm going on 36 days without my funds being disbursed!
Thanks for sharing your feedback, Brian. We know it’s been a long wait, and we know we haven't met the mark here. With the recent surge in volume, our team is working around the clock to catch up on the processing and verification of metals, but it has definitely slowed things down more than we'd like. Our supervisor tried reaching out today, but we weren't able to reach you. We are going to make this right and ensure your order is processed as soon as possible. We’ll keep you updated personally until everything is finalized.
Sell to them if you want them to hold your metals for more than a month with no payment. When you start to lose your patience with them, they will tell you they will not skip the verification process...That isn't what I want you to do, but I do expect you to keep up your end of the contract as you expected me to do. Two weeks was acceptable, more than a month is not what I agreed to. Date of sale to Kitco: 1/28/26 They got my package: 2/2/26 Here I sit on 3/3/26 with nothing to show for it. A Better Business Bureau review was also filed because this is all I can do at the moment: warn others.
Hi Daniel, thank you for speaking with our team and for your candid feedback. We definitely hear you on the timeline, waiting over a month is not the experience we want for you, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. Because of a recent surge in volume, our verification process is taking longer than anticipated. We’re working hard to get through the queue and are focused on completing your transaction as quickly as possible. We truly appreciate you hanging in there with us, and we’ll be following up with a direct update very soon.
They could not deliver the product I purchased, or give a delivery date, they would not reimburse my money. Instead they offered an exchange for an equivalent product at the old price (original purchase day), when 2 months later the market had gone down by two thousand dollar value. Nothing we could do, they had our money so we took the deal. They will not see us again. Thank you for your response Kitco, however the item we purchased showed in stock. Guess you over sold it and could not deliver or tell us when you could deliver in the futur. You should have let us cancel the order you could not fill. Why will you not return our calls ?
Hi Jules, thanks for sharing your feedback. Your order included pre‑order items, and with the strong demand we’ve been seeing, shipping took longer than expected. We know delays like that aren’t ideal, and when possible, we look to offer options that can ship sooner. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
