Harrington & Byrne 2022 bullion sovereign offer

[flyingveepixie]

Success.  Don't know how I missed it first time round - probably in too much of a rush!    All boxes now successfully ticked to not receive any further marketing communications in any format and that's a relief. I hate all that unwanted stuff coming through my letterbox and going straight in the bin to pollute the planet.

I have ordered bullion sovereign from this company since 2019. Yes there marketing is annoying, but as mentioned above just make sure you remove yourself from there mailing lists, I only receive emails now. 
These offers seem to come up 3 or 4 times a year and I have managed to pick up a fair few sovs at near spot. 
You will get your coin in January.

hope this puts your mind at rest.

There wasn't a box to tick for not receiving H&B's own mail drops, just 3rd parties. They provide you with an address to write to to halt that, although calling them and telling them such will have the same effect.

H&B are advertising  today in the London Metro for the  2021 sovereign  at £329 plus free delivery.

Had the call.   Think chap was quite new as didn’t push too hard.  Said the 2012 bullion is same price now as in 2012 but the proof had gone up from £500 to nearly £3000.   Got offered the 2022 proof at £950.     Had a mate with the same call got offered it for £912

Looks like they have pulled the loss leader for now 😆 spot price too spicy 🌶️ looking forward to receiving mine.

Cheers for that snippet. I'll call them to make sure I'm removed from all mailing, but only after I receive the sovereign...    Received a letter of introduction from them this morning, I expect there will be more..

I emailed them as well as sending a letter. I actually asked them about how they treat data with regards third parties but still no response as of yet. The issue I have with the promo post (as many others do) isn't so much with the bombardment itself but with the fact that their branding is emblazoned on the envelopes. Even though I store my stuff elsewhere I still don't want to advertise the fact that I buy the odd bit of shiny...

Yes that's a good point.

I’ve ordered the bullion sovereign from them twice before and I haven’t ever received as much as a postcard let alone a phone call.

I’m thankful I haven’t but I wonder why I’ve haven’t received any marketing c**p. 🤔

Maybe you just got lucky. I already got a fancy marketing envelope through the door with their logo emblazoned in gold leaf all over it : a mere 2 days after placing my order with them - not good.  Still if I can get them to behave themselves and not spam me endlessly with junk mail which is likely to make me a magnet for any lowlife who happen to be well informed as to who they are and the implications of my receiving mail from them I'll quite possibly take up any future loss leader type offers they make for bullion..

Just keeping this thread alive over Xmas, now that those of us who have ordered a loss-leader sovereign from H&B will have to wait at least another week from 11.1.22.

In the mean time, wish all on TSF a Healthy Xmas (Covid permitting) especially all you 'Stackers' who are just in it for the money! Rather than show you all some Frankincense and Myrrh, here in hypocritical style is my collectors 'Stack' of !oz + gold ranging from .900 to 99999!

Blimey, it looks a lot more than 14oz when it's laid out like that!

Sure does. Scale always does for me though, I looked and thought that's way more than 14 ounces... zooming in it's mostly lovely lickle sovs. Guess my brain assumed Brits?!

Terrible, terrible news from Harrington and Byrne today, I hope not too many members will be disappointed

You haven't heard? The Harry and Meghan coin is no longer available at £1200 more than release price. Sensible investors everywhere will lose out on the chance of making thousands from this in the years to come

I take it the artist who produced that image was visually impaired? Either that or c**p...

Oddly enough the artist is apparently Jody Clark, who is better known for the infinitely better fifth image of Elizabeth II on sovereigns, Britannias etc. He should have been  advised to decline this particular commission, which was almost guaranteed to end badly.

Just to update on my own situation here with H&B.  After receiving the initial welcome letter and going back to their site to tick the relevant no contact boxes I've had no more mail from them as yet. I received one phone call from them a couple of days ago from a very pleasant chap who I had a very short chat with when he invited me to purchase the 2022 proof sovereign which I declined. He asked me the standard question of whether I knew the difference between bullion and proof coins but aside from that no attempt at any kind of hard sell and the phone call wasn't difficult. 

He informed me that the bullion sovereign should arrive around mid January.

It does seem a bit harsh not to be able to refer a friend, but if those are the rule's then those are the rule. @ChrisSilver  please shout if i've screwed up; I shared a couple of refer a friend links via PM. Will happily do a charity auction with any free coins I get as a result of referrals in the spirit of putting it right. 

This topic here that I put up should hopefully explain the reasons behind the rule: 

 

Hope that helps clarify

Oh no. I spoke too soon!!

I did tick no to their marketing letters and phone calls. 🙄

[Ashes]

Email I had from H&B, looks like we should be getting them by mid January. 

Considering the RM ones are on pre-sale to be issued for release on 11 January, no complaints from me.

Has the link to this deal expired now?
