On 12/18/2023 JM Bullion did a buy back of my silver and I did everything to their letter on shipping. I dropped off the package at FedEx and from there it disappeared. The tracking says it is still where I dropped it off. JB Bullion said it was delivered 'somewhere' as 'they got a phone call' from 'someone' and no other info. on it. So, FedEx dropped it off 'somewhere to someone' and did not zap it for current tracking updates and nobody knows nothing and missing just before the holidays at that, HMMM! Something tells me this is an 'inside job' and I got ripped off! and I'm still getting the run around. I filed a claim 12/29/2024 with FedEx also and the package was insured at that with JB bullion. Here is my claim with JB Bullion. Jm Bullion wrote:

Dear BB Ops,

A claim has been filed on your behalf for a lost (8) 5 oz Silver Bar (Varied Condition, Any Mint) and (3) that was mailed to you on 12/18/2023 from JM Bullion, Inc..
JM Bullion, Inc. has filed an insurance claim with Cabrella for this parcel and needs you to complete a statement confirming the lost. As of now the tracking is still where I dropped it off! Which I did. see attached doc. and now they want me to do it again...Here is their latest, ..... What size boxes did you use? (Both inside and out)
Where did you get them?
Was there any tape on the boxes at the time, or did you assemble the boxes from scratch?
Where did you pack them?
Was there anyone else there during packing? If so, who?
What packing material did you use? Paper, peanuts, bubble wrap, something else, nothing? (Both in the inside box and the outside box)
What type of tape did you use on the inside box? Clear tape? Brown tape? Both? How wide was the tape?
Did you tape only the top of the inside box? Bottom also? Sides?
Did you bring this to FedEx or did they pick it up?
Did they ever ask about the contents of the package, and if so, what did you tell them?

I have reviewed the business response and accept this resolution. Upon further investigation by JMBullion, they were able to retrieve the *** and display box from their warehouse and mail it to me. I have received everything I had wanted in the original complaint and consider this matter resolved to my benefit. JMBullion also gave me a gift certificate to us on my next purchase for the inconvenience.

I ORDERED A 2021 10 OZ ******** SILVER MAGNIFICENT MAPLE LEAF COIN FROM JM BULLION, **** FOR $314.35 PAID BY CHECK. SELLER CLAIMS THIS PRODUCT WAS SHIPPED ON 5-22-23. PRODUCT WAS NEVER RECEIVED. SELLER SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE PROOF OF DELIVERY WITH THE EXPLANATION: SINCE THE TRACKING NUMBER HAS ALREADY BEEN RECYCLED BY THE SHIPPING CARRIER.
Business Response

Hello,
Yes, it is true that we were unable to provide this customer the proof of delivery as requested, as it was no longer accessible to us. This situation is beyond our control as the **** recycles and reuses their tracking numbers. This is why it is crucial to promptly report any non-delivery concerns to us. It is important to note that this order was shipped on May 22nd, 2023 and we were notified about the non-delivery on December 6th, 2023. We will be in contact with the customer to resolve this issue.

On 5-10-23, I ordered 80 American Silver Eagle coins at $30something per coin. The spot price for that day was $25.39. JMB always has comparable prices to reputable dealers so it wouldve been about $6 to $11 over spot. Ex: todays spot is $24.26 and JMB has veteran price at $33.05 if paying check and ordering ***** coins. I found out they charged me $44.66 per coin even after my military discount. Thats $19.27 over spot. I have never seen that price for this product and would never buy it at that price. JMB sent four emails after I complained but they just have excuses like how the price is determined which is IRREVELANT to their advertised price for that day. I always purchase the same thing: American Silver Eagle Dollar of the current year. I did not notice any problems until this year both in March and May. The same is noted by a lot of complaints. Im wondering if management changed this year. I know they have the ability to look back and see what they sold it for on that day and I guarantee you its not $44.66!
Business Response
Date: 01/04/2024
Our premium over spot is primarily influenced by market conditions, supply, and demand. Our ********************** reviewed our pricing list at the time of this customer's order placement. The coins that were ordered were priced at $20.49 over spot per ounce for the first tier price. For qualifying quantity purchases and our military customers, the lowest tier price was $19.00 over spot per ounce. The spot price at the time of the order was $25.66, which means that the pricing is accurate at $44.66 per ounce. The premiums for these coins did not decrease until mid-June of last year. We hope this provides clear clarification!

Customer Answer
Date: 01/04/2024
I am rejecting this response because: There was never a price off $44.66 advertised at the time of purchase for 2023 uncirculated silver American Eagle dollars bought through paid through bank between ***** ounces at veteran rates. I would not buy at that price. Sometimes I order on the phone and sometimes online. I dont know if I was told wrong or why JM is claiming they were selling at $44.66 an ounce which is laughable. Ask any reputable dealer what they sold for on that day under the same above conditions.
Business Response
Date: 01/05/2024
Hello,
We are uncertain about additional actions that can be taken. The pricing, as substantiated by the copy of the invoice that was provided to the customer and verified by our *********************** is indeed accurate. We have utmost confidence in the accuracy of the pricing for this order. Regrettably, we do not have access to the historical pricing of other dealers.

I made a transaction on JM Bullion to buy a coin using a payment method I have previously used on 11/27/2023. On 11/28/2023 I received a notification that the payment has been confirmed and my product would be shipped. On 11/29, I received a message that my payment wasn't processed correctly and I would have 10 days to update the payment. I then simultaneously received a notice that the order was cancelled and I had to reorder. I was never given the opportunity to update info or provide an alternative payment as is there policy. I doubt this would have happened if the price of gold hadn't gone up as much as it has in the past few days but having been a long time customer I will never use JM again unless they honor the original pricing and allow me to purchase the item at that settled upon value.

Hello,
I'm sorry for the hassle. The account number on the order in question was invalid. This is why it was cancelled. I also show you have since placed a new order. Is there still something needed on this complaint?

Im October 26, 2023, I contacted JM Bullion in an attempt to sell my elderly (84) Mothers silver, 120 ounces in 1 oz increments, that she had purchased from them 2 years ago for $32-34 per round ounce. They gave me a price that was locked in at $.50 below spot, $22.47, for coins. I sent them pictures of the coins (they call them rounds apparently), prior to the transaction. We agreed on a price, and then they advised us to use their prepaid shipping label (we absorb that cost), and that is what was affixed to the box after taping it securely with clear tape. Apparently, there was a hyperlink that specifically stated the word here and it then contained instructions to double box the shipment. I did not click the hyperlink, therefore I only single boxed the product (although it showed up in its original condition, but has been cut open and retaped with only (20) 1 ounce coins (rounds). This means that either someone at Fed Ex stole the 100 ounces of coins, or someone at JM Bullion took them. I will not accuse anyone specifically, but I can tell you that the weight on the shipping label matched the weight that was shipped, so when they claim to have received a different weight, something is incorrect, unless they found a 100 ounce rock inside, which they didnt. I contacted them and eventually got a supervisor named ******. He said that their insurance would not cover the loss because it was not in a double box. That is not a requirement of Fed Ex, which I fully intended to ship out on my account, but used their prepaid label at $69.55, taken off the 20 ounces that they decided to pay for, and then changed the price by reducing it $.50 an ounce, to $1.00 below spot, claiming these were rounds and not coins. Bottom line is I shipped everything as I do in a routine basis, and somehow 100 ounces of brand new silver rounds/coins were stolen by Fed-Ex or JM Bullion. They paid my Mom $2,200 less than was agreed, and are now telling us they are done discussing it.
Business Response
Date: 11/10/2023
Hello,
I'm sorry for the loss of this product. The customer readily admits that they package was not double boxed which is stated multiple times in our instructions. This is not a ***** requirement, but a requirement of our third party insurer. ***** does not insure precious metals shipments, so we must use an outside insurer to cover these shipments. I further reviewed the video of the packaging. The box in which this was shipped was a very small box with extremely thin cardboard. The contents was very heavy. This almost certainly was the cause of the items showing up missing. It's possible they were stolen in transit, but based on the packaging materials used it's more likely the box broke in transit, was patched up with items missing, and then delivered.

Since this customer did not double box, our insurance would not reimburse us for this loss. Sometimes we decide to reimburse claims despite these policy violations, however in this case with the customer having never done business with us before, and the packaging being extremely insufficient, we must stand firm on the claim denial. We did return the packaging itself to the customer as they requested. Unfortunately we can't take responsibility for the contents that never arrived at our facility and was shipped differently than our instructions required.

On October 16, 2023, at 8:40 am, I placed an order for $21,222.75 with **** Bullion for coinage including old silver quarters and half dollars, and five gold one-ounce uncirculated ******** Gold Buffalo coins. These were marked as "Shipped" the next day, and I received an email to that effect with the *** tracking number 1Z7F62913910006555. However, as of this morning, October 26th, the *** status only says "The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible," and *** indicates that it has not received the package from **** Bullion.Several phone calls to **** Bullion have yielded only the reply that "we will check into it with the shipping warehouse in *********" or more lately "we still have not received a status update [from the warehouse] and will notify you as soon as we do". Two days ago they promised me a phone call by the end of the business day with information on the status of the order. The phone call never came, nor the email they promised if they were unable to contact me by phone.I have never placed an online order for anything, from any vendor, that has had this sort of delay between the time the vendor indicated it had been shipped, and when I received some indication of movement by the shipping company (much less the information from them that they had not received the item). This is my first order with this company, and I am concerned that they are running a scam.

Do not buy gold from JM Bullion!!! I have bought gold from there before with no problems. But the third time which is the last time I will ever buy from them again. I placed an order for 1 ounce bar of gold for $2111.57 I also paid for the three day fast shipping and when the package got here, I opened it up to find that JMBullion only sent me a 20 gram bar instead of tge 1 oz bar. I have made a complaint and have called and talk to a supervisor on multiple occasions. JMBullion sent ?me a picture of my packing slip with a 1 ounce gold bar that I did not receive. My guess is that whoever packaged replaced it with a 20 g bar after taking a picture of the 1 oz bar with the packing slip. I have called around, and no lawyer wants to take the case. And I dont have the money to fight a bigger company like that. All I can do a spread the word and make sure nobody makes the same mistake I did.

Hello,
I'm not sure what we can do here. We have video proof of packing a 1 oz gold bar in the box. This has been verified several times by several people. We are absolutely certain we shipped the correct product and have verified this multiple times.
Customer Answer
Date: 10/30/2023
I am rejecting this response because: There is NO item NUMBER in the picture from JMBuliion. NO ITEM NUMBER!!!! See file/picture I attached has an item number. When I contacted JMBullion and addressed the problem I was told they do NOT keep track of the item numbers. This is neglect is on JMBullions behalf. NoOT THE CUSTOMER!!!! When I received the package from JMBullion the box was only taped on one end of the box and the other was half way open. JMBullion needs to take full responsibility. I have purchased two times previously with no problems. This is absolutely unexeptable.
Business Response
Date: 10/30/2023
It's true that we do not track item numbers. Most of our products do not have item numbers. No precious metals retailer tracks item numbers. It doesn't seem to me this would have anything to do with having differently sized bars anyway? The bars are obviously different. What difference would an item number make? Given the fact that we have video proof of what we shipped we do not feel as though there is any accommodation to be made here.
