I was surprised when I found out that you had some U.S. uncirculated mint sets for various years. I gift all my children, grand children and great grand children Birth year sets of coins. I found more sets that I did not have so I bought them for my family today. I was surprised when I had to pay taxes of the sets. The prices for the sets were good. Plus I always trust APMEX for shipping and handling.

Double charged. Completed order was billed twice.
I paid for an ounce of gold via paper check. The check took so long to get to you were to clear you that I ended up paying by ACH. Then you failed to detect that the order had already been filled and double charged me which took about 10 days to straighten out so you had my $4000 for 10 days actually probably closer to two or three weeks and my gold still has not shipped.

Thanks for your review. We understand this has been a stressful experience, and we want to help clarify the timeline: your paper check was received and cashed the same day you switched your payment method to eCheck, and only 4 days have passed since that change. Your refund for the duplicate charge was processed today, and your gold is on track to ship within 6 business days of the eCheck payment clearing. Thank you for your patience through this, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions in the meantime.

you have slowed down . Why ?
I am still a big fan and a regular buyer . Still , I wonder why delivery has slowed markedly . When I was first buying from APMEX if I made a purchase in the morning it was commonly received the next day . much slower now . I am in Tulsa .

We truly appreciate your business and will look into the shipping issue. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
First the bad. At times I pay more compared to another days price (yes, prices fluctuate and I try in one sentence to explain). This is my choice to buy. I have never had a bad experience with APMEX and I use them to this day. I trust them and that means a lot.

We appreciate you taking the time to share this. Prices do shift with the market throughout the day, but we're glad that's never gotten in the way of a good experience with us. Trust is everything in this business, and we're grateful you've placed yours in APMEX!
Excellent products & online system processing, however even though being a honorable secure customer, the holding of funds is too long. Shipping should be immediate as funds are cleared.

Applying bullion card points - not obvious
I placed an order to use my Bullion Card points; however, at checkout, after selecting my Bullion card as the method of payment, there was no way to apply my points. I had to edit and re-edit the order which presented a different screen that had an "apply points" link in the tiniest font on the page. Can't you make it easier to apply card points?
Reply from APMEX2026-07-28
Thanks for your review. We're sorry the Bullion Card points weren't easier to find and apply at checkout. We'll share this feedback with our web team so they can look into making that option more visible.

I sent back an ATB Block Island Silver coin that had spots and you sent me another one that has spots. It cost me $15 to send the first one it back to you because you wanted it double boxed! In addition, I acquired them using a Bullion card!
Reply from APMEX2026-07-27
Thanks for your review, we're sorry the replacement Block Island coin arrived with spots as well, and that the return process required costly double-boxing. That's not the outcome we want, especially on a Bullion Card purchase. Please reach out to our customer service team so we can make this right.
