Is this normal?

[toto]

I just ordered a pamp 1kg bar from ABC Bullion and I can't pick it up till mid September. Can I change my order or do I just have to wait for them to get more stock? There was nothing saying that it was out of stock when I placed my order, only on the invoice. Is this normal?

I can't pick it up till mid September

This is normal, considering the demand for Silver in 2011

Whats not normal is if you have to wait till mid September 2012 to get it.

 

[thatguy]

nothing more nerve wracking then the time between a purchase till delivery... A LOT can happen in a month. Sure answers the question about why people like the trade section on here

 

[millededge]

if it is any consolation...

my experience is that there is no need to freak out about the wait

if you are new, then you may be entertaining a few panic ridden fantasies

meanwhile, back at the ranch, your silver is on its way

Is this normal?

Yep, its totally normal with ABC.
Nothing to worry about.

 

[jparrie]

Yep, completely normal for ABC Sydney. Unfortunately their customer service sucks, they can't even answer a simple email query yet they can send out various 'educational' emails.

 

[toto]

yep mate, its all safe. you will get the bar. pay now and collect later.

Thanks once again for the prompt replys, I am new to this, I suppose going through the wait is all part of it. I just lost my job and it was the last I could buy for a while. I think I'll buy from you guys next time, I wouldn't mind some southern cross 10's.
42.07 AUD

Toto - would agree to just buy from this forum - no wait (bar postage if applicable) and possibly the best prices you'll find anywhere else...plus you'll get some 'street cred' for future transactions...

 

[millededge]

take your time mate

personal experience on buying here is that you will be highballed

only your willingness to say no and a good read of the transparent vendors will prevent a gouging

always know the spot and the price offered by major vendors

Steve is a good option here

I've not dealt with many, but you will be asked to suck eggs by a few

sad, but there it is

 

[millededge]

always look at the spread

two options are W.Davis (melb) and ABC (syd) for a guide

 

[millededge]

a good rule of thumb is to be familiar with the resale price

 

[millededge]

to retail vendors

I should say Kansas but I won't, I'm a New South Welshman. Oh you would have gathered that from the ABC, Manly.
