P.S.-Stay away from Goldmart. They've mastered the art of excuses!
I am not 100% sure that is accurate. I bought 3k face 90% last summer. They played waiting game about 2.5 weeks, until silver jumped $3.50 on them. They shipped the next day after the jump. Sorry, I think they played the wait game and lost. I got what I ordered, and since I was not looking to sell it but stack it, I did not care. I bought when the premium was about 2.50, and when it was delivered, (shipped) it was actually a few cents under spot (it had dropped about 0.80 before the 1 day jump.)
I am not writing this as a statement that they held my order, since they may have had to obtain a few of the 6 bags, but 2 weeks + 'is' a bit of a wait, if they actually had all items in stock, like they listed.
Just sayin .... I still do give them an A+ on that order, it was not a tiny order. But an order like that certainly does have a little change in perspectives.
I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lime, ...and a shot of tequila.
