Buying options from Romania


EdwardS

Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

I am looking to buy one or two silver bars and I could not find a trustworthy store so far that delivers to Romania. Any thoughts on the options and where to buy from will be appreciated, I am sure there are other members who had the same problem.

It all depends on what you are looking to purchase, usually members will buy coins due to lower/no VAT.

I've done businesses with (buying AU/AG/PL )

https://www.coininvest.com/en/

https://www.europeanmint.com/

https://www.eldoradocoins.de/en

https://goldvorsorge.at/

all ship to RO

 

Don't forget that TSF has a great trading section https://www.thesilverforum.com/forum/13-uk-europe/ and many members will ship to RO

 

Also (have option to ship to RO, haven't done business with them but they are highly trusted )

https://www.chards.co.uk/

https://www.bairdmint.com/

 

Before committing to a purchase  (from a new PM dealer) do a search on the forum/ ask is this dealer  trustworthy / has anyone use them.

Also, you should read about others experience and learn what to avoid.

 

Happy hunting .

Ps: All the decisions are yours and yours alone, I've just share a few things from my own experience and what I've learn since joining the TSF community.

@daca MultumEsti, thank you very much for the info. I am more inclined to buy a couple of silver bars (500g/1kg) instead of coins and after finding a lot of suspicious sites and local sites which are a lot more expensive, I found the forum. Buying from here will definitely be an option in the future. The sites you mentioned mostly sell coins but there are bars as well.

I wanted to create an account at Auvesta.com but they want a lot of personal details and I am sceptical. They seem to have the lowest price around with 688eur (incl vat) for a 1kg Hearaeus and their local sales rep are quick. I am not sure if there are any additional customs charges but from what I read that is the full price+shipping. Any experience with Auvesta? https://www.auvesta.com/preise-barren.php

@daca Thanks. They have a auvesta.ro as well, in Romanian but you can not create an account unless you send them an email. They want a lot of details incl. ID card and bank statement to open an account because of money laundering but I haven't found much info about them, is this normal? 

I could not find much options for a 1kg silver bar on the sites you mentioned and the product reviews are mixed. By the way, thanks for the warnings on suspicious sites.

@silverdocket Thanks. I really can't risk losing the money and silver on the shipping so there has to be an option. I would not mind buying from a trustworthy member for a good price but it must be a safe delivery.

The only options is to buy from a member close to you or jump on a cheap flight and pick up from somebody.

Once you go over a few hundred Euro insurance is a must.

Thanks but traveling is not what I had in mind, I know it would be a lot easier. There must be shipping insurance on the delivery service, how come that is not an option? I also found this thread which can be helpful:

I have a 100 oz silver bar up for sale, should that be of interest to you. I have no problem shipping to Romania.

Royalmint and  Baird have ask me for ID card/ passport and proof of address, but never a bank statement.

Transferwise requested a ID card (I use them for all my PM purchase, better rates than my bank)

I can ship to Romania if still interested and haven't found a better option. I have few 100oz bars for sale :) However, not sure what would be the easiest and best shipping service to use

@daca and @MrTT  I bought a tube of kangaroos and dragon bars from EuropeanMint.com and it was delivered in a week via UPS in perfect condition. They seem to be the cheapest as well. As seen on the package, it was sent from Estonia via Finland, Sweden and Germany to arrive in Romania.

 

Thanks everyone for the help and info.

I received another order from EuropeanMint, a tube of maples, a tube of dragons and 2 tesla coins. Arrived after 10 days or so but this time it went from Estonia through Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic and finally Romania. Very satisfied with the quality and support.
