First order with JM Bullion. Tried something small. Conditions said check needed within 10 days. I used my on line bank and sent via *****. JM Bullion received in two days. ***** does not charge either party. Six days later when I inquired because their site still showed no payment, I was told they cannot accept Zelle (even though they just did). The first rep told me they had no record of my payment and to talk to my bank. The bank just confirmed the money was sent. Called back and the 2nd rep said that he could see that they had received my payment but it was in the "wrong" account. He could not transfer it and so I had to cancel the order. He said they would issue a check as refund and I would see it within 10 days. Called back on day 11 and learned they had not issued a check as "Today is the first day it is eligible for a refund". She promised a refund check within a week. So are they giving me the runaround ? Unbelievable that they couldn't just complete the original order. I picked them partially because we are both in *****. Should be an easy small claims if I have to go that route. Guess we will see in another week. Meanwhile looking for someone else to buy gold (although I will again start with silver ) I cannot recommend JM Bullion.Business Response

Complaint resolved. I did get a refund check. JM Bullion also apologized for the confusion. It turns out the Bank Zelle payment did actually arrive by snail mail check and so I am still confused as to why they could not complete my order. It turns out the best (maybe only) way to do a transaction is by credit card. They do charge a transaction fee (which I'll admit I was trying to avoid, but then many cards in turn give cash back. JM Bullion said they were going to address training to eliminate why I got a different story each time I called. Again, this is best avoided by simply not paying by check. I would do business with them again based on this experience but by credit card only.Customer Answer

On July 16th 2024 I placed a order for 10 x 1 oz gold bars at ********* USD total.JM Bullion took payment from bank and then cancelled my order afterwards. They Cancelled on Monday July 22. JM Bullion is currently holding the money without returning it. JMBullion instructed me to do a claim with my bank which I did. But the bank denied the claim. I notified JM bullion that the bank denied the claim on Friday August 9th. They said they will send paperwork to me within 1 x business day to sign so they could process the refund. On Tuesday August 13th I called back because I never receive notification of the "paperwork". JM Bullion then stated I need to provide a letter from the bank showing the denied claim and it will take 1 to 3 business days for them to reach back to me. I asked the *** to stay on the phone with me while I sent the denial letter over. She said another department handles the denial letter and hung-up. I feel I am getting the run around at this point which is wasting a lot of time. I have sent the letter of denial on 8/13/2024 shortly after the *** hung up. I understand there is a process. But JM Bullion isn't telling me everything I have to do ahead of time and they are making me stay on top of them only to add another step, wasting time. Time is money. JM Bullion should not have asked me to do a refund with my bank as the first step. This doesn't seem right.Customer Answer

I spoke with **** at JM Bullion today Friday 8/16. They are going to process the refund. They said it can take up to 48 business hours to process. Which will be end of day Tuesday at the latest. I will advise once the refund is in the account. She advised the reason for lot of the mix up is high risk of fraud and they are working on a better format. I thanked her for the explanation of all events and am satisfied by all of her explanation. As long as the refund is given I will be happy to call this case resolved. I will advise once done.Customer Answer

Hi, I spoke with the *** team Tuesday 8/20. They said the refund is in process and will take 24 to 48 hours from that point to get back into my bank account. We did talk about checking to see if we could keep the order on Tuesday. However the refund process was too far along. I will confirm once the refund is received.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I am not a fraudster I stated that the bank closed my account due to suspicion of fraud because your company will not refund my money and you insisted that I dispute the transaction thru my bank. Why do I have to dispute it thru them when your company withdrew the funds from my account and you never shipped my order you and your company is the real criminals here trying to steal people hard earned money just to gain a profit. Your whole staff are the fraudsters here because when I asked to speak to the manager you guys would just pass the phone around like you guys are playing a game I want other potential customers to be aware of this fraudulent company they will steal your money then give you the run around when you try to retrieve it and try to project their true intentions on you, just to keep your money. You will be hearing from my lawyer shortly!Business Response

We sent this person a Persona link to verify their identity so we could attempt to work with them. They failed the verification process. The bank has closed the account, we have attempted to verify their identity, and all indications point to this customer not being who they said they are. We are happy to provide BBB the documentation around this.Customer Answer

I ordered 12 British gold Tudor Beasts Gold coin (BU) plus ***** for expedited shipping by an system my bank registered as WEBEPAY, which is a e-check, on my ********* checking account. The date I ordered these coins was on July 26th. Jm Bullion then sent me a email with a link I could check on my orders progress. I watched as the debited my checking account then began to fill the order. Then It said it was going to send my Gold Coin I purchased. Suddenly on 08/01/2024 the app said canceled. I called them immediately and a representative for JM bullion said after review of my order they have canceled and said I need to call my bank and dispute the purchase and debit. I called my bank and they said they would try but they could not guarantee a refund because it was by e-check. I called JM bullion and they said since I used my bank to dispute the e-Check charge they could not refund my money. I would have to wait for this process to happen then with a notice from my bank it failed I could send that form to JM bullion then they could try to refund my money another way. The gold I was trying to buy has appreciated in value plus I am losing interest on my money. I am 68 years old this is a big part of my retirement money.Business Response

I thought I was buying silver coins at one price but after I paid mt reciept reflected that I had been scammed for more money than the amount I had agreed to pay If the information was in fine print somewhere then they should be ashamed. They know exactly what they are doing. There was no notification that the price would change until its to late. They ship immediately so it's to late to cancel only a few hours later. The price started at 31. I thought I eas getting 32 or 33 I can't remember now but was charged 35 each. % of investing in commodities to go up $3 that could take 5 years to break even. Not what I wanted.Business Response

Hello,
We have reached out multiple times to this customer but he does not return any of our calls. We state on our website that if paid with credit or debit card, you do not get the 4% cash discount price. In addition to this, he has order twice previously, both times he paid with credit card so he was well aware of the payment structures. We are not sure what we can do to help this customer.
Please review.

Hello,
Our pricing is transparent as anyone can go verify on jmbullion.com. Perhaps this customer was looking at the price for payment via ACH and then switch the payment method without realizing the price also changed? Even at that stage we display all pricing just as any online retailer does. There is no fine print that indicates we are allowed to charge more than what was presented at checkout, and that is all we charge. Despite all of this being clear and easily verifiable by visiting our website and reviewing the checkout process, we are still willing to try and help the customer in some way to ensure satisfaction, but this customer will not respond to us.

I placed and paid for the order on 07/11/2024 I was told the order would ship on the 7/12/2024 and an email would be generated. I received a call the afternoon of the 11th stating there was a problem with my address which was fixed. and told the silver would go out by 3:30pm ctz. I called the morning of the 12th to find out why it wasn't shipped. I was told that it missed the tuck and would go out by 3:00pm ctz and a corresponding e-mail would be sent to with a confirmation. I called at 5:00pm ctz to find out if my order had shipped as promised and was told it was just put on the truck for delivery. I asked for a tracking number and told it wasn't in the computer yet since it had been put-on the truck and a conformation e-mail would be sent with a tracking number. The e-mail was never sent, and the order was not shipped. I believe this is a scam due the many lies told by JM Bullion repsCustomer Answer

JB Bullion finally sent my order. I received it 07/17/2024 @ 5:45PM MCT. I would like to thank you for all your help in getting this resolved.

Jm Bullion says my shipment is fully insured and I've been patiently waiting for over 30 days for it, the post office has confirmed that the package was visibly damaged yet jm Bullion will not respond satisfactory to me, they just say it's under investigation, that is not my concern unless they think I am in league with the ** to cheat them, they have my money, I have never received my package, all I know is the post office has admitted to damaging the package, the product is gold so it cannot be destroyed, only bent, obviously someone at the ** either lost it or stole it, that is no my concern, I was told it was fully insured, they are practicing poor business, they need to reship it or refund my money, not play me along, my # is ************, I've contacted then numerous times and just get the same answer, it's under investigation, so are they investigating me? I don't understand why they would treat a return costumer like this, I've placed many orders into thousands of dollars with them, now they want to do this, and BTW, I've made several orders in excess of $2000 since this, I've trusted them, so why are they giving me such a hard time and run around?

This is a duplicate review. We resolved the customer's claim and offered a $50 coupon, to which he accepted. However, he left 2 duplicate reviews. Can you please review if this is something we can remove?Business Response
Date: 08/05/2024
Hello,
We spoke with this customer and advised that we will resolve their claim in house while we await for the insurance company to finalize their claim. This customer's claim was resolved on 7/10, and we also gave the customer a $50 coupon to be applied to their next order. We are not sure what else to do for this customer at this time. This is also a duplicate review.

I ordered two silver bars. I received the **** tracking number. The package has been in transit to the next facility since June 6th. I get weekly emails that the underwriter has 30+ days. 30+ days is a large window for resolution. I feel at this point this vendor is going to drag this out as long as possible. I would like them to resend the product or issue a refund.Business Response

I ordered 2 10oz valcambi gold bars on June 4th, 2024, total $48,010.40 They cancelled my order after my ACH payment was in there hands for 5 days, due to an "internal review process". Now they also said if i want my money back, i have to go through my back and dispute the charge, with a ACH reversal request. I called and asked why it was cancelled, they said a mismatch in information. I had called 2 hours earlier before they cancelled, and asked to change the shipping address to a different home as i would not be there, and I asked if this was okay (they didn't ship anything yet) and they said it was completely fine. Then they cancel because of a mismatch in information, and i have to do work and dispute the charge (i have to personally go to my bank branch and fill out paperwork) to get my money back. Unbelievable inconvenience. They have held and are still holding my $48,010.40 for 7 days now. They wont send it back on their own will, they want me to dispute it and go through a process with the bank that could take a month. Again, unbelievable. Why wont they send the money back themselves if they chose to cancel the order? I asked that I want the gold bars, and they said they will only take wire transfers from now on. Wire's can not be reversed, unlike ACH. So it sounds even more unsafe. What is this company doing?Business Response
