Great to hear all yr feedback & opinions. Yup, agreed on all points. I will continue to collect them nice & shiny stuff . Its kinda fun & certainly better than blowing it away on gambling & other silly vices. Tks one & all. 😃

'Was stacking silver bullion, then later started on proof & high relief stuff, now become more engrossed on silver collectibles, colorized, unique shapes & finish, low-mintage ,Pop-Culture stuff. Examples are those from Perth & NZ Mint, Canadian Mint such as 007 series, Marvel, Disney, Star Wars etc etc. It's quite fun, doing it as a hobby mainly, albeit paying through the nose on the silver premiums!😄. I esp like the NZ Mint's Chibi coins series, so damn cute & innovative designs! Some popular ones like Mickey Mouse, Star Wars , the Mandalorian coins sell out almost as quickly as are launched and proving to be real collector items, despite the ridiculous premiums! Sometimes no choice but to buy them from dealers like First Coin & Power Coin when the mints sell out. Haha. I know real hardcore collectors of graded coins will scoff at me but just asking what all your opinions are on such hobby?? Not real investments but more of a hobby!!

Many tks but keep getting "403 Forbidden " error msg! Sent another 5 emails yo Bullionmart, sadly still no reply. Even resorted to facebook messenger but no response. Incredibly, they sent me a ridiculous "Order completed" email the other day when item not even received at all🤢....really at my wits end dealing with this coy. Already initiated a chargeback with Mastercard (minimum 9 weeks wait) for investigation to complete. Utterly frustrating experience ! I was just trying to order 1st time from BM but alas, such a horrendous & torrid experience with this completely inept dealer! I now ordering all my Canadian themed coins from the Coin Shoppe. Fuss free , all transactions go thru so smoothly, best part is they reply my emails enquiries by next working day! Only need to pay CAD35 for shipment & already ordered 3 times from them.

Nope but for collectible & numismatic coins, its difficult to source for them. I always buy these overseas

I spoke too soon. Thought everything was fine after making final payment for shipping! Bullionmart emailed to say order completed as item was delivered in Singapore. I say "what???" Totally unbelieveable. Apparently they delivered to some non~existent delivery agent here in my country & dare to tell me that the order was delivered!!! This company /seller truly exasperatingly BAD! I now challenging them to show me proof of delivery as the tracking system says it was delivered 5 days ago! I sarcastically told Bullionmart that Singapore is only 700sq km in size. Very small country & delivery should not take that long!! All this after paying their exorbitant shipping charges!. Its a nightmare dealing with this seller🤐

Finally got a email reply today + apology from Bullion mart. Now just trying to fulfill my order & paid shipping but still minor hiccups with their payment link. Many tks to all for Yr replies. If all goes well & goods get shipped, I will, in good faith, not pursue matter further. Hopefully all will be OK but don't think I will be ordering from them ever again because of the bad experience! All unfortunate but that's life! Thank you to one & all for the wonderful feedback Cheers Fred

Yes u are almost right. I Should just take it as a life-lesson for not reading the fine print after placing order. However, I didnt lay out the whole story. Actually, I was prepared to pay the shipping charges , rather than lose the entire order! (which I actually tried many times). Guess what? The link payment the merchant send me cannot be used, despite my trying it many times! Follow up attempts & emails to the Bullionmart utterly useless as they simply don't bother replying. Its akin to placing (& paying) for an order but not getting any response whatsoever. Anyway tks for your comments. At least i now understand shipping outa Canada is that expensive. ( actually u are only correct as I had placed orders with the CoinShoppe based in Ontario before & they charged me CAD35 for shipping! Oh well, as u say, that's life!

On 8th May, i placed online order for 2 Canada-themed Silver coins with Bullion Mart (www.bullionmart.ca) & paid CAD329.58 by credit card , which cleared on 12th May. A couple of days later, the merchant send me a whopping bill of another CAD197.60 to ship my order to my home address in Singapore. I emphatically email reply to refuse such exorbitant shipping charges & convey to this devious dealer (bullionmart) to CANCEL my order. Despite many countless follow-up email reminders & leaving messages on Bullionmart's online support platform, the merchant simply IGNORED me, refusing to give me any reply whatsoever and leaving me in a lurch as to my already paid up funds deducted via my credit card. Absolutely horrendous Customer service, very conniving & dishonest coin dealer! As soon as i convey my intent to cancel Order, Bullionmart abruptly stopped communicating to me despite my frantic reminders. 1st time ordering from this merchant ,what a super unpleasant experience. Just wondering whether any Canadians in forum can advise if there is any Consumer Fraud or Regulatory Authority in Ontario or Canada i can write to, for me to lodge a complaint against such dishonest coin dealer? Any help is much appreciated! Regards Fred fellow stacker & coin collector

Its true. I am a Singaporean stacker. This co is "Silver bullion" and they have an existing storage facility with a State-sponsored security firm & are expanding to a Freeport site near the Airport. A lot of high-end customers bought & storing 1000oz bullion bars, mostly rich non-Singaporeans.

Wow. Look real nice

Just luv them beskar bars but so quickly sold out at NZ Mint!

I managed to get a couple of the 1oz "the child" coin from NZ Mint. Was sold out within 15mins of launch
