    FM bars are one of my favourite, I am in the same city and when I sell to US buyers they go for good premiums.

    Great bars, 5oz are my favourite. The 1/2 oz rounds are awesome as well and priced the same as all the bars.

    I don't think you will regret the purchase!

    I ordered a few times from FM in the past and paid with PayPal the whole time.

    Although FM coins and bars are nice and ordering is painless, however I must warn you it is not FM that you should worry about, but your very own Oz Custom! These vultures will try to extort "GST" money out of you and they're quite determine at that. So be prepare to argue and fight for it because they (Oz custom) won't let you go easy without paying GST or import tax.

    After GST or import tax, those FM bars no longer cheap. Me personally won't order from FM anymore because of the trouble I have to go through with those idiotic sheeple Oz Custom officers who can't tell the difference between Precious Metals with a hunk of iron!

    yes i have this prob all the time... tell them to read the law and call you back in a hours time.. then say its tax exempt. they will still make you pay 60 for the trouble but not the gst.

    $1000 is the threshold where they will poke their noses in.

    can they acutally make you pay $60 just because their dumbasses wanted to investigate something that turned out to be legal? that would make them criminals cos they could check everybodys mail and tell them to pay $60 for the trouble, did you pay it?

    what kind of warnings? please let me know so I can do the same lol, also when is the best time to buy on their website? do their prices go up during weekends? and do they do live trading (their prices adjust with the spot price)

    ^^^^ best time to buy is after silver has dipped for more than a week.. the follow spot but slowly.. prices freeze over the weekend.

    no live tradeing.

    buy when you think its going to go up the next day..

    post note..
    "this is tax exempt" "any delay in delivery will be met with ear lashing and small claims hearing"
