Agreed! I've just checked the gov website for the limit, appears to be 10,000 Euros

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/money-laundering-regulations-your-responsibilities

I'd still expect a dealer to record and retain your personal details even for a tiny purchase that falls well below that limit, otherwise it would be impossible for the dealer to track your overall spend in a series of linked transactions.

For example, I suspect a dealer would not be meeting their obligations if anyone could purchase a £600 tube of silver Britannias every day for a year without anything being recorded.

But that's just what I think - I expect @LawrenceChard is the most knowledgeable on what's actually required :D

True, maybe our resident expert on that will chime in :D

They'd be dodgy if they didn't record your personal data as that's surely a legal requirement?

Don’t need to for orders under 5k in a single purchase or 10k per year,  at least that’s my understanding. I imagine most websites would keep all your details for marketing purposes even if not required for “KYC”

Hi Gruff,

I thought I'd see if I get comments on here from members with questions like yours and then get back to Tavex with any follow up questions. Good point - worth checking!

 

I've guinea pigged myself. I'll let you know how smooth the transaction is. I'll report back once I've received the goods and tested them with my trusty Sigma :)

How would you expect them to tell if you've spent more than 10k in a year if they have no record of earlier purchases? :)

Bought 20 Brits. Don't really have the money but I caught it at just about bang on £23/oz

You are quite right.

The 10K in any rolling 12 months could be quite onerous for any dealer with manual systems, but it is a legal requirement.

Very good point but personally I would prefer they used their memory 😁

Unfortunately that wouldn't stand in court. But it would be funny to see.

Recently bought a similar amount as gruff, must say was relatively surprised at how smooth it went, brits arrived next day. I was quite sceptical in the beginning but all appears to be fine

Silver prices being shown as including VAT, but then adding even more VAT in the checkout? Confusing...

The VAT shown is for information only and is included within the basket price total shown.

(It is quite common to do this, on a number of e-commence sites inside and outside UK)>

Well I must admit, I don't understand that explanation at all :D 

This is what I'm seeing and it doesn't make sense to me:

Can only find 4 reviews for them on Trustpilot, the earliest is from 26th of November this year, also shows a 4 star rating overall, but all 4 reviews are 5 star!?. May just be a very new company so i do not wish to level any criticism unfairly, but from my personal perspective i would like to see more to back the company up, especially as people have said, the prices are looking somewhat "keen". For what it's worth as well, the address comes back to a serviced office, so probably isn't a place where you can purchase over the counter.

Would be interested to know if people do take the plunge and order from them.

I’ve just purchased a 5g gold bar from them. Arrivés via SD so will let you know what the outcome is. And yes, paid via CC so covered just in case. Their prices are WAY cheaper than most dealers….let’s see.

Is this for real?

https://tavexbullion.co.uk/silver/1oz-australian-kangaroo-silver-coin/

 

I know that already someone asked about this dealer but I can't see any response in this matter. 

I haven't bought from them yet but I am generally familiar with their brand. I am sure I was checking their various European sites many times for some good deals and although I have not made any transaction with them, I had never any impression that something wouldn't be right with this company. 

You can check their .eu site for additional background information on their history and operations. You can also check e.g. Trustpilot ratings for their Tavex.dk Danish operation, google reviews for Swedish tavex.se branch, etc., there's a lot of feedback, arguably generally positive one.

Apologies Chris - I'm largely responsible for the off topic Tavex stuff! If the forum has a naughty step - send me to it!

I wonder, Is there any merit in you (or one of the Mods) starting a bespoke Tavex Bullion thread and moving relevant posts from here to the new thread? I ask as I'm wanting the discussion to continue and hope that those who've made purchases will post feedback which will inform others about the merits - or otherwise - of dealing with them.

Cheers. 😉

Chards have various 1oz minty silver bullion in stock from £24.31 which seems reasonable.

You've written that wrong... surely it should read: "Chards had various 1oz minty silver bullion in stock from £24.31, which seemed reasonable" :lol:

There are still some very good offers of silver 999 on forum from £20.21/oz to £20.83/oz, with SD included. More than reasonable.😊

Where about?

https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/56319-1-kilo-999-silver-bar-sempsa-vintage-bullion-condition/?tab=comments#comment-584805

£650, SD included is £0.65/g x 31.103g/oz = £20.21/oz delivered.

Another very good deal is this:

https://www.thesilverforum.com/topic/56484-consecutive-number-1kg-silver-bars-£660-christmasnew-year-special/?tab=comments#comment-587044

£660 + £10 shipping = £670 which is £0.67/g x 31.103g/oz = £20.83/oz delivered.
