Order
April 19, 2023

I ordered some silver coins and bars as I was pleased with the prices but unfortunately it took over 3 weeks to receive. I contacted your customer service department to see what the status was given a vague answer that the order was marked to ship. When it did ship I was sent a tracking number. I had paid for a two day shipment and that took 3 days. FedEx showed it was scheduled to deliver one day but delivered the following day. I did receive an email from you saying why the delay but that was two weeks into the order. I was disappointed with the whole process with your company. Other companies are being up front and alerting customers to delays. Something that you didn't do. I am ready to place another order but don't have much confidence that it would be a smooth and timely transaction. I left a two star review as the coins and bars were very nice.

Same Great Service Each Time
April 18, 2023

This was my third order from SD Bullion and each has been a great experience. While this particular order took significantly longer than the last two, SD Bullion did an admirable job explaining the reasoning for the delay prior to my placement of the order. They set the expectation and then met that expectation accordingly.

I appreciate the proactive communication and the solid service I have experienced from SD Bullion so far.

Based on these prior experiences, I am sure to continue doing business with SD Bullion for my silver needs!

I used SD Bullion for my first silver purchase. I did not complete my order when I was on the site my first time and when I went back into the site I could not find my order so I placed another order AND PAID FOR IT. Today over a month later I got a bill in the mail that I owe $1476.00. I called and was told I had a chance to pay the cancellation fee of $476. But since I didn't respond to emails or 2 calls they made to me I have to pay this fee. I would pay with no problem if
FIRST, I did not call their company looking for help to find my original order to complete and the rep on the phone did not explain anything about fees and their exorbitant 50% monthly charge if it's not paid.
AND SECOND, I DID PLACE an order and PAID FOR IT so they did get a sale.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY they are great taking your money but horrible in explaining their policies. Again I called them to help find my order and since they couldn't seem bothered to explain or look for my order I would not recommend them at all.

Hello Stayce,

We apologize for any cancellation fee confusion. We have cancellation fees because this is a live market business. Cancellation fees are calculated as 5% of the order total or $35, whichever is greater, plus any applicable market loss. Every customer must agree to these terms prior to submitting their order, whether they place the order online or over the phone with an agent.

We'd be happy to help you and look into your cancellation fees. You can email us at [email protected] or call our bullion team at 1-800-294-8732. We are available from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. est Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. est on Friday.

Thank you for your feedback!

First timer
April 15, 2023

Everything went fairly smooth though shipping time was pretty long. One thing that was frustrating was USPS TRACKING I checked it everyday so I would be home when was shipped. The status never changed from the very first notice. I blame USPS for that. Next time I will use FedX. Items received were as described and package good.

Gold and Silver Delivered
April 14, 2023

One can only imagine what type of rush you guys had after a few banks collapsed. I ordered a day or two before the run on Gold and Silver. Thankfully my order was delivered recently after a few weeks of anticipation and worry. I also did not know that I would need to sign for the order from the post office on delivery. That was a comforting fact that someone wouldn't be able steal it off of the porch. The first time buyer Gold at spot was awesome as well. I will continue to buy from SD Bullion in the future. Thanks to Yankee Stacking for recommending you guys to me.

Slow

Although I received the items I ordered it was considerably later than advertised. SDB responded promptly to my email inquiring of the delay and my items were shipped shortly thereafter. I was encouraged to see a bible verse on the inside of the shipping box.

From the business

In 2011, two doctors started the website SilverDoctors.com with one dream: To educate the masses on the value of hard assets and preparation. The rapid success of this website gave way to the launch of SDBullion.com in March of 2012. All sales were completed via telephone with the motto, “Nothing Fancy. Just a Telephone and Low Prices.”

Since then, SD Bullion has shipped more than 300,000 orders and hit Inc. Magazines list of 500 Fastest Growing Companies in the United States twice. We did all this while staying true to our original mission of offering the absolute lowest prices on gold bullion and silver bullion in the industry, guaranteed.

We also buy precious metals, from gold sellers, silver bullion dealers, and private individuals. We offer extremely competitive buyback prices on the market, and we’re happy to discuss our rates with you any time.

We have also stayed committed to investors wanting the highest level of education on the how and why to invest in g...
