    Hi All

    I've been spending my past few weeks since the big drop waiting for my order. I placed an order on the 15th April and I just got an email this afternoon saying its on its way! :D

    Just curious, how long are some people out there were told to expect to wait? Are dealers giving you accurate approximations for delivery?

    Also, whats the longest somebody has had to wait to get their hands on the goods? - would be interesting to hear :)

    Back in 2008 when the price plunged, it was not uncommon to hear stories of 8-12 week waits for AG.

    I've heard orders from the royal silver mint can take up to 6 months

    So technically you can still get your PMs, just gotta wait for it right?

    I know a few people who had to wait 16 weeks for delivery back then.

    BB are saying 2-4 weeks but it seems to be more for the international brands like Scottsdale. Doesn't bother me how long it takes to arrive, once the order is in for the price advertised that's all that really matters.

    I've found Bullion List to have great service, on average I get my orders within three days

    Dealers in Melbourne seem to take longer than this some times two weeks, and that we before the price drop

    ...and if you want to sell in the meantime then go ahead - just tell them there is an X week delay. Isn't that what happened with the lunar snakes :p
