You are very welcome! Thank you for the request. Have had a couple good experiences with them now. Took about a week total to receive the products. Smooth transactions. Didn't acid test yet, but based on what I've heard I'm sure they're probably fine.
Hey amagi, any plans to carry palladium?
Palladium is definitely a possibility to add to the inventory on our website this year. We'll update you here when this happens. |

Just completed another successful purchase  Took a few days before the order was shipped, but I did get tracking as soon as it was sent out. I wasn't worried because I have bought from these guys before and the service was top quality. Parcel arrived in pretty good time and everything which I had ordered was there. I have just placed another order - I think something might have gone wrong during checkout though - sent BTC to the specified address but instead of getting a confirmation message, the site took me back to the start of the checkout process  Anyway, I'm sure it will be fine, I feel I'm in safe hands with Amagi Metals. |

I bought a mix of Sic Semper Tyrannis rounds and American Silver Eagles to give out as Christmas presents. They went over really well, packed in an airtite (had to order those elsewhere to get larger ones to fit the ASEs... these guys have sizes to fit nearly anything) in a small box with a little write-up on the coin/round mostly cribbed from the Amagi website. Maybe I should've taken pictures before giving them away. :-) More recently, I picked up some junk silver to have smaller denominations on hand. What arrived was mostly half-dollars, with a few quarters and dimes. There were four different half-dollar designs in there, going as far back as 1900, and maybe two designs each for the quarters and dimes. Neat stuff from a collectible standpoint, even if some of them are heavily worn. |

I put in a small order with amagi recently. I ordered 4 different types of silver and a fractional gold bar. These are my results.
Ordered - 1/5
Claimed it shipped - 1/10
Actually shipped - 1/14 (tracking shows early in the morning, so it was likely shipped late 1/13)
Items are still in transit, though it is up to USPS at this point. I'm sure the order is correct and will update if for some reason it isn't. People seemed to be concerned with how long it takes so that's why I posted this info.
I ordered 5 different types of items and two different types of metals, which I would assume has a higher probability of being delayed. Items were shipped in 6-7 business days, 9 days total. This doesn't seem too outrageous at all to me. My friend had a cash order with provident, and while I can't remember the exact dates, it seemed to be about as long.

That's nice and all, but how did you pay for your order? |

I assumed it would have been obvious that I used bitcoins. Speaking of which it was very smooth, I had never used bitpay before. |

I was a bit over zealous with how much shipping I thought we could get done Friday and printed off a few too many for our shipping team. Glad they got this out on Monday for you!

We asked for a working number and checked if it was working because you pointed out that it was not in an e-mail to us. When this is brought to our attention we must follow through with obtaining the correct information so we can comply with shipping company policies, insurance requirements, and law as we would like to remain in business and continue serving our customers.
I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with your experience as we strive to make every customer happy within our means.
The government is not your friend. Not just the US Government. Look around you. No matter what government is yours, they have all become corrupt entities. "There is a war going on outside that no man is safe from." Now, if you want to sleep at night, knowing that you were just following orders, do so. "My superior told me to put the people on trains for showers, and that's just what I did." Oh, you think Goodwin's law is an exaggeration?! Well, herein lies our argument! The likelihood that Uncle Sam was going to find out that I had confessed to giving a fake number was remote. Though there was no danger, you chose "to play it safe." Whom do you serve? Hey, you know what? I smoked weed and don't live in Colorado. Now, who's going to know that I told you this? Uh-oh, it's online!! You better do something!! You're legally liable now! You better go run and tell someone! When the State finds out that you had prior knowledge and did nothing!!! You could be fined or spend a few hours in jail!!!! OHHHH NOOOOO!!! My experience with Amagi metals was cowardice. Utter cowardice. And ignorance. I believe they think that the US Government is their friend. Here to protect them. From people who don't want to give their real phone numbers out and buy gold with bitcoin to fund such projects as "Chicken Lunch" and "Groupon Frozen Yogurt". Like me. OH MAN I'VE SAID TOO MUCH. THE ENTIRE OP IS IN DANGER. |

The order has been placed on my account, just awaiting confirmation that the payment was received and then my order should be marked as processing. I'll update when I get tracking. Thanks! |

Too much ACID for you buddy.. If you don't like the policy, don't order.. simple as that.. you have the choice.

Correct. You do have the choice to order with us or not. Thank you for pointing that out, Eb0la. Also, I want to point out again that our insurance company requires this information. With an incorrect phone number any claim that we would submit could be denied in case of a lost shipment. If you smoking weed in another state had anything to do with our business, I could see how your analogy would apply. Thank you for the dialogue. I wish you great experiences with whomever you choose to purchase from in the future. |

Just to report. It took a long time and was not a flawless execution, but in the end I did get my gold. The website said they had 10oz. bars in stock. Not sure why it took them over a week to put them in the mail?
Whatever. I may use them again.

I ordered from them on January 11, 2014
I got the shipping info on January 13, 2014
It is currently being sorted by USPS.
No real issue other than the site being down on the 12th kind of scared me.

Ok sounds good, I think palladium is going to be a metal to watch in the next few years. I'd tell you to rush out and stock it but I assume demand from individuals(people outside the auto industry) isn't huge at the moment.

Happy to hear everything is moving quickly with your shipment! We had an internet outage in our offices that morning too. Not the best Monday.

We've actually had quite a few requests for this. It's on the to do list for the year, definitely. |

I was going to buy a 1 oz gold coin until I saw the shipping cost.  Why would it cost $116.38 to ship a 1 oz coin to Canada via FedEx (the only choice given)? |
