For me useless

For me useless. Tried buying 1/10 or 1/4 bullion coin from them end of last year, communication was lacking at times, and no stock of what I wanted. I wanted to use small amount of cash saved up. They promised they would contact me as soon as stock available. Five months later I heard nothing. I contacted them again to be told, no stock, only available to order in. I would have to pay upfront which defeats the object. It comes across that unless you are spending vast amounts then it's best to use other companies. I'll have to pay cash into the bank and probably use another supplier.

Addition to recent reply.
Hi Sandra, you did not give me the option of paying by cash at the branch, just the option of paying online. Had you done so I would of gladly accepted and gone to the branch to place an order. Thanks anyway, shame this was not made clearer in our messages. I would also like to point out, I had to chase someone initially as they did not get back to me for quite some time. I appreciate your reply though.

Dear Rob,

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, it was myself that was chatting to you on Whatsapp today, I also looked at all historic conversatations which have all been replied to.
As discussed, the specif coins you are looking to purchase with the latent images have not been available for collection in our Southampton branch since you first enquired.
It is not something we generally hold as stock however, in this circumstance it is common for us to offer the client a purchase to order service where we give you a live estimate and once payment has been received by bank transfer or cash we will place the order from our supplier and give you a realistic timeframe for local collection,
I understand I offered you this service today and declined.
I apologise this did not meet your satisfaction and sorry we could not help you further on this occasion.

Kind Regards,
Sandra Kilcullen

Selling some gold coins

The whole transaction of selling some gold coins went very smoothly and easily. The funds arrived in my account the following day so will use the company again. The staff member who helped me was very friendly and efficient.

Professional service

I’ve purchased from British Bullion on several occasions, including recently buying two beautiful coins, and I’ve always been impressed. The service is efficient and the staff are always professional and friendly. I always feel secure and safe visiting their office. I would highly recommend British Bullion to anyone wishing to buy or sell gold coins.
