Im very happy with my dealings with Bob and the rest of his crew. Easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and fair price.

“Damaged coin sold unseen - told nothing doing!”

I ordered a platinum 1oz Australian coin unseen which was delivered to their shop 4 days later. I went to collect it and noticed part of the rim was damaged. Staff told me they had not noticed the damage, but they could nothing. I would lose my 20% deposit if I did not pay for the outstanding amount. This sort of practice should be illegal. In any case, they have lost my custom forever.

Getting billing and shipping addresses to be correct took a few tries.
I can order from others with paypal with no fee. I don't have that option with your setup. So I will have to mail a check!

Your "cash" option leaves much to be desired, if paying with Money orders, and, I never use bank-wires. I buy from several dealers using Money orders, and, they simply keep a credit card number on file with my order preferences, etc. That way, should something go very wrong, they can always use the cc on record as a back-up ! (It never has!)

I formulate a more concrete opinion after my first order has been fulfilled and received.

I am pleased with my purchase. Prices a little higher than some other places though.

Both coins arrived in little plastic holders. Both plastic holders were split open by the time the package arrived at my place. Not a big deal but they could use less brittle plastic holders.

I failed to find a shipping cost area, would be nice to know beforehand the cost of shipping various purchases.

Shipped quickly, arrived well packed. I guess "Fine" is the lowest grade next to Cull. Not a big deal as I'm just after the silver content.

Once again, well packed and received in good time.

Product arrived in mint condition, but was not the product that I ordered. I am happy with what I did receive, but can not give 5 star rating due to the error in the product shipped. I would still recommend StraightSilver to others most highly nonetheless. Were I to have needed the exact product that I ordered, I might not have been as well pleased.

Thanks for selling to international customers, and with no min purchas. . The PMs market here in Ireland is virtually non existant. And you are still the cheapest on the web. Regards.

If you ever need an agent in Ireland, I would be more than interested

Web site said paypal was a possible payment method. I learned through telecon that you no longer accept paypal payment. Not a big problem, but when you get a chance update the listing of payment options. That\'s the only reason I didn\'t give a straight 5-star rating

Would like to see shipping cost a bit lower. I don' thave the capital to buy in large quantities so my shipping was almost half of the product price. I paid $10 for 15 grams of silver. For that much, it took 13 days to receive the product.

I normally provide this feed back once I have received the product but I am assuming all will be well with it.

Thank you,

One of the items was damaged at the mint (I am not sure this will increase or decrease its value though)

This is one of the few sites I have found that has the 1/4, and 1/2 oz bars and doesn't require me to make a minimum buy of 500 oz or so. As I am not rich and just starting to purchase silver that is great

Your shipping rate seems to be a little high a lower rate would be a 5 star rating all around and i stopped looking at your site because it seemed like a long time before small quanities were in stock. Still a little better price than AMPEX and even less expensive than govmint.

Order took to long, was told waiting on shipment of Libertads to arrive. I should have been informed of this and when the order shipped I should have been notified with a tracking number. I did receive a notification after I received my order. Also I ordered * **** Libertads but received * **** and * ****.

You need to offer free shippuing. Customers end up paying 10% more for the product. I think you would sell twice as much if you offer free shipping
