Interesting. APMEX have updated their methods of payment and no longer accept credit cards for international orders. This means Australia is back to the $1500 minimum order value and bank wire transfer. Australia What is the minimum order amount? $1,500 (bank wire) USD What form of payment does APMEX accept? $1,500 + USD (bank wire) Do you accept credit cards? APMEX no longer accepts credit card payments for international orders.
Why order from Apmex any more? After Apmex's changes in the last couple of years, there a better companies in the US.
Why order from the US at all? Every time I've done the sums and coversion, it's cheaper or the same price to buy locally.
Many less-common items aren't available locally in Australia. Things like Libertads (except for 1 oz) and some interesting hand pours.
