Topic: Amagi Metals - Best Prices of Gold & Silver for Bitcoins - page 49. (Read 135736 times)

Thank you everyone for your patience. We are getting orders out the door ASAP!

We have just joined a new dealer network. All of our silver prices have dropped. Our silver prices are extremely comparable to other online eCommerce dealers. The only downside is that shipping times on silver products are still extremely delayed. ASE delays are 6 weeks. Delays on silver maples, 4 weeks. AOCS products, 2 weeks.

We do have an update though. We will be selling the Austrian Philharmonic Silver coin starting Monday! Even with all the delays we have decided to introduce this new product because the delays are much shorter than some of the other coins (2 weeks), and we have received many requests to sell them.

We also have plastic airtight capsules now available, they are not listed on our website yet, though.

Silver makes a perfect hedge to dollars and bitcoins!

Oh the trade thing... (hold-ship and trade)...

It makes "ready to ship" silver available to you, since you only need "confirmation" of your silver-order coming, which would "replace" (our held silver), when it arrives, thus, giving you faster shipping of "silver in hand" to the customers who actually want it shipped.

As for "trades"... You simply sell our silver to them, when we say "sell", and you don't have to order more. Also, because you purchased it, and didn't ship it, you know it is the same silver you sold us, because it never left your hands. As opposed to having shipped it to us, and then having to ship it back to you, to sell... which you then have to "test" it, and confirm it is real, and twice, in delivery, it has a chance to be lost. (As opposed to never having that loss, if it is never shipped.)

And, since we never actually "cash in" a trade, unless we ask you for the money, the "losses and gains" do not have to be recorded until we cash-out silver, or USD, from our holdings. Since, essentially, like bitcoins and MtGox, we are trading "virtual credit", until we cash-out for something physical.

I'm drooling over that 10oz NTR silver bar...

Question: It says "in stock", yet when I go to make a purchase/quote for 1-4 qty, it says...
"* This product is not available in the requested quantity. 4 of the items will be backordered."

How many do I have to order, to "not be backordered", and if it "is in stock", why would 1-4 have to be backordered?

Just asking, because I feel it may just be an oversight of that page, or the "system", which is not detecting your "in stock" status... or it is out, and the system isn't reflecting the "out of stock" status...

If you do have a "minimum" for "instant order", you should list that. I assume you have to wait for enough low-order orders to stack-up to a justified "block" of a larger purchase. As shipping inventory bar-by-bar would be waaaay too costly. I believe most order pads of 20+, which should be mentioned somewhere. (For the NTR 10oz .999 fine-silver bars)

Also, do you purchase, or would you consider purchasing, or a "purchase and hold" (pool), for a later resell? (Thus, avoiding the whole two-way shipping, and giving yourself time to "buy at a better price", until the order fills from our purchase or sale.) EG, like kitco does. Essentially turning you into a 1:1 pooled "physical" silver/gold trader. (Unleveraged and non-paper trades only. Which is the only "legal" trades for the USA now.)

Thank you very much for some excellent deals!

Please add more selection from NWT Mint and Scottsdale, if you can.

I got my first order on Monday. (last to ship.) All was good. Thanks Amagi!

I ordered some coin from Amagi and it arrived as promised.  Great bitcoin store.

I wish I read about you guys before placing a large order with coinabul.  I got totally ripped off and they stole my bitcoins.

Back to the mines to generate some more.

As of 4/27/2013 Amagi Metals hits $750,000 in bitcoin sales for the month of April.

Thank you to our amazing customers for your business. You have helped us lower our prices and hire additional staff. We can directly attribute the creation of jobs to the bitcoin community. You guys rock!

Thank you for the feedback. To give you an idea of what we do:

You place the order
We see the order and print off a packing slip and shipping label
The tracking number automatically gets uploaded to your order number
The packing slip and shipping label goes into the queue for the shipping department
We package the shipments and put the packing label on them in the order that they were placed (unless you ordered something such as a pre-order)
They go off the to Post Office

The bottleneck has come from the large number of orders that have been placed. This has created a longer shipping queue than normal. However we have hired additional employees to address this. Once we are all caught up on orders, the tracking numbers will start updating within a business day of uploading to the website.

Agree with the above statement...it's confusing.

As a bit of constructive criticism, I suggest that you not mark orders "Shipped" when they have not yet been picked up by USPS. It confuses your customers, as "Shipped" boxes can be stuck in your 'shipping queue' for upwards of a week with the tracking number showing that the USPS does not have them. If it's in your "shipping queue" it should still say "processing"

I know you are swamped with orders lately, but why is there a "shipping queue" of ready-to-ship boxes that can't be dropped off at the Post Office? Does the Post Office only accept a certain number of packages per day?

You are too kind. Remember, it's a two way street. We wouldn't be here without you guys, so thank you for being such awesome customers.

Just received my second order from Amagi. Very professional outfit.

These guys are the bees fuggin knees,

ordered a very big order of 5000 USD+ in btc and received the order in perfect vacuum sealed condition, there was slight delay but I was ready for this and am so happy with my order words cant express fully how pleased I am with AM,

honestly there couldnt have been a better and more honest company that took on the load of BTC->Metal Dealers and the team deserves every bitcent being thrown at them

Do not hesitate, seriously dont, you are more than safe when dealing with Amagi, what else is there to say? im ordering more gold right now because these dudes/ladies do it right and one cannot ask or hope for better,

10/5 gold stars sir

Made my first purchase today.  Customer service on the initial call was excellent and the process was smooth.  I will report back once it arrives about tracking communication and quality of the shipment.  So far so good.  Thank you.

Thank you! We also have another gold bar for immediate shipment as well:

I think we only have one or two left.

Hi, just bought some gold, looking forward to getting it fast  

BR,
LP

Got it. Bitcoins are still only a fraction of our business, although it is starting to become a larger minority. I understand that there are big trust issues in the bitcoin community because one cannot charge-back, however we are getting orders out!

All new, non-AOCS silver products have delays between 3-8 weeks now among all precious metals dealers, including us. AOCS products have delays of 3-5 weeks. If you would like faster orders, we recommend gold. The only gold coins difficult to come by right now are the gold buffalo's however that could change at a moments notice.

Thank you everyone for your business!

ButterFly Labs.  An company that is selling ASIC bitcoin miners and is months if not a year overdue on shipping out paid orders.

I am not sure what BFL is, however there are huge delays on all products and it's not an Amagi Metals thing, it's an issue with all precious metals dealers currently. In fact entire bullion exchanges are out of gold and silver:

We have however, been shipping out thousands of ounces of gold and silver per day and customers are receiving their orders. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
