In my opinion, there is no such thing as discounted silver or gold. Premiums can change significantly between dealers, but the metal does not, and you are buying metal, hopefully for a long-... See more

Have 90% on hand is a great way to have a hedge against inflation. And a solid item for barter. There is never a bad day to buy silver

EXCESSIVE SHIPMENT DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE

Everything was fine as usual, with the exception of processing the sale in a QUICK AND EFFICIENT manner. Frankly, I am disappointed that it took from time-of-purchase early Wednesday morning of the preceding week (Wednesday) to start the actual shipment process (following Monday) of the coin!! Yes, I understand that "delays" happen; but NOT at the frequency I have experienced recently at APMEX!! You CAN DO MUCH BETTER than this, APMEX!! Bob P. Lakewood Ranch, FL

Good product

Good product. Great prices. Easy to order. Prompt delivery. Disappointed a couple of times with items out of stock and when they are available the cost seemed much higher.

No Response From APMEX Regarding Missing Shipment

As an APMEX LLC member, I have done several transactions over the years.
On April 30, 2026, I ordered a One Hundred (100) oz Silver Bar, In order to avoid the credit card charge, I paid by check, which APMEX cashed. Their website states package delivery can take 1 to 10 days. After 3 weeks, the Silver Bar did not arrive.
I emailed APMEX and they responded the same day, via email, stating "Thanks for reaching out, and we are sorry to hear your package has not arrived. We have forwarded the details to our claims team who will open an investigation. Please allow 2-14 business days". I have received no communication after that and I emailed APMEX to inquire for an updated status. Their email response was "Thank you for contacting APMEX. We have submitted your request for an update and you shall be receiving an email separately soon".
APMEX never responded again.
I sent an overnight letter (FedEx) to Mr. Kenneth Lewis, the CEO of APMEX. I did not get a response.
On June 3, 20026, I  again advised APMEX  that my order had not been received and requested a claim to be open.
Since that date I have not heard any more about my order.
APMEX states on their website "When we ship to you, if metals are lost or damaged in transit, it is our responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company".
In my case, this is not true. APMEX has abdicated their responsibility.
