How long does RM usually take to deliver?

Nah

They all think they will flip them for a tenner profit.

I'm hoping to lose a tenner on each bar, as is the TSF way.

But I'm keeping the 50p!!!

6 months. They be laughing all the way to the bank, earning 6% on deposited cash.

I wrote earlier in the thread that 20% was on their inflated above spot price. I think a blister pack 2023  sovereign would be about £397. 

They did messed up on the full price discount but I think that they will take it on the chin and post out.

Gold 3-5 days.

Silver with Milk spots on a daily basis…..

[FriedrichVonHayek]

Compared to the 20% Topcashback deal on eBay the Royal Mint deal was pretty poor.

I will be shocked if the Royal Mint don't honour the deal as other dealers were offering Gold close to spot on Black Friday also.

It was a mega deal by Royal Mint standards and a decent deal compared with other dealers.

Premium = Item price - (totals grams in order X gram spot price)

Premium on items in 'LIST B' x 0.2 =  discount

When total order includes 2 or more items from 'LIST B', Apply order discount.

 

Guy who is getting fired on Monday thinks = 20% off when 2 or more items from 'LIST B'

I've made 2 orders from chards. One of coins which were beyond milky. The second they sent me a plastic loupe instead of a metal one.

Your friend would definitely get a job there 😂

If anyone can answer that accurately, can you pick my lottery numbers this week?

TBF, I’ve only had pleasant things to say about them. Mixed bag I guess.

Either the Royal mint is rewarding long suffering Silver clients for the trash they produce with a discount or they’ve ruined other dealers ‘Black Friday’ deals.

The conspiracy theorist in me believes it helped boost their end of month figures, cancel anything after Black Friday to soften on the PR, and offer refunds /credit note sometime in December. December will swallow the refunds as it’s historically good for small gold gifts.

The 10% discount They’ve sent is for low cost silver coins I don’t need any of them.

What discount on silver are you guys talking about?

I think it was emailed out to a couple of new account holders after the 5g bar orders. It may have just been one random member though. I wouldn't get too excited just yet

Anyone had any updates of cancellations or orders getting dispatched this morning? 🤔

Nothing from the mint and the offers over I think they will honor the price

Had no news from them either. They’re probably still going through their Monday morning reporting. 

[Earthmetal]

I'm confident the orders will be fulfilled.

[Orpster]

Be aware guys, I have had two people tell me they have had additional charges on their cards from the Royal Mint today

what? Can they do that without confirmation from the customer?

I did not think so no, but if they do as they are 'gift' products they can be returned within 30 days and they will be processing a LOT of returns if they do not honour the price.  And losing a lot of customers too

The charges I am being told make no sense at the moment.  One chap said he ordered 2 then 8 and has had a charge for £220.  Does not add up however I try and do it

Blood from a stone cannot be wrung. Me maxed out.

[Orpster]

Looks like the the one I know the numbers for has been charged an extra £22 per bar - a thoroughly curious amount

They ordered 2 then 8, have been charged £44 and £176

Can these be returned?

Yes they are gift items, so 30 days to return

May be a stupid question but how does something like Quidco(?) work with the Royal Mint?🤔🫢
