I have been buying from Monument Metals…

I have been buying from Monument Metals for about 6 months now and have purchased about $260K worth of Silver and Gold products. Out of the 24 shipments I only had an issue with one shipment being damaged in transit and after a call to Giselle and Jonathan they took care of it. Giselle and Jonathan are always helpful and pleasant to talk with and a good wealth of knowledge. They offer a good selection of products, very competitive pricing and ship my orders fairly quickly. I would recommend Monument Metals to my friends and family!

Monument Metals consistent

Monument Metals consistent, warm and personable, responses and response time are always outstanding. By informing us of tax liabilities imposed by different U.S. states, Monument Metals helped to save us $1100 on a recent 2023 American Eagle monster box order. Positively speaking, they treat us as part of the family. After years of buying, we hold Monument Metals as our Best (and now only) online source. Blessings on Jonathan and his family!

Still waiting.....

Placed an order on Feb, 21st and 24th. Talk with the company via email because hadn't received tracking. They told me my order shipped on March 1st. Today is the March 7th, and USPS still has not received my package per their site. I'm so frustrated. I understand shipping is a challenge in Maryland, however I can't even confirm if the package was dropped last Wednesday, being that's just when the label was printed.

Monument Metals is the best precious…

Monument Metals is the best precious metals dealer hands down. They consistently have the best prices and most importantly to me, the best customer service. They respond quickly to ensure a top-notch experience, and their products never disappoint.

Honest review...

As with all online bullion dealers, echeck payment processing is painfully slow. I guess $1k of bullion is somehow more expensive than $1k of any other product on the planet. Bullion dealers are far more sensitive to fraud than any other retailer on the planet. Lol. Right. Anyway...

For those new to online bullion purchasing with ACH / eCheck....
Order placed: 23 Feb
Digits leave your account 2 days later
Order shipped: 2 Mar
Order received: 6 Mar
Expect to be without your money for about 12 days before receiving purchase. Sadly typical.

Besides that, MM offers better prices. Shipment arrived "on time" lol, packed well and as described. Easy order process, presumed secure.

They did their job, which is commendable these days. Bravo.

They have great prices and are great…

They have great prices and are great people to deal with. All coins are bubble wrapped and double boxed before sent out for delivery. MM are set up for small purchase buyers like myself. I've purchased approximately 20 orders and have had no issues.

Monument Metals does it Again…!

MM does it again…!
Competitive pricing throughout, great product variety, excellent customer care and service.

All items, and following procedures described, all on point.

I would highly recommend to anyone, looking for quality products, to consider MM as a “go-to” source.

More than satisfied.

Thank you MM…!

Better Service

I was looking for further exposure to silver and had reviewed several online services and found that Monument Metals provided the coins that I wanted at better prices and easier order execution than other providers.

Wait time

From time of purchase to delivery takes too long. I paid by ACH, took a few days. By the time you confirm the order, process and package it seems to take forever. To date I still haven't received my order. Would be awesome if this process could be streamlined much like Amazon and/ or Ebay. As a customer I want my product now...not 2-3 weeks later. But I do like your spot prices...best spot price I've seen!

Low premiums

I’m very impressed by the low premiums on bullion. I’ve made a few more purchases from MM since my last review. I must say that I was a little disappointed with a couple of silver purchases. First I ordered a 10oz RCM bar. It had scratches from being stored with other bars apparently. I initially thought that the scratches was on the plastic but wasn’t. Second time I purchased a couple of Maples and they had fingerprints all over them when I unboxed them. It was so noticeable that you immediately noticed it through the flips. If this were junk silver I could dig it but that’s not cool. I like doing business with MM but I feel like they should do better when it comes to storage and handling of metals before shipping. I’ve purchased gold as well from them and it’s always in pristine condition. But with all that said, they still have some of the best prices hands down.
