They are awesome. I've placed many orders thru them and have been very satisfied. No damaged goods so far. As to the waiting time, if you want it sooner pay by credit card. The way I look at it is, I don't plan on selling anytime soon so why worry bout it taking a few weeks. Waiting a few weeks and paying $. 84 per ounce over spot is better that getting right away and paying $5+ dollars over spot. Quitcha Bittcchinn' and keep stacking. Jon
