Hello all,
I am here to warn anybody that is, like me, new to Amagi and considering purchasing gold bullion from them.

I ordered 5 of their Five-gram PAMP Suisse Bars on June 27th and have yet to receive anything. Mind you, these were not marked as "Delayed" or back-ordered when I purchased them online. I did not hear anything for quite a while, until I emailed support on July 3rd and they responded on July 8th. I was informed that the holiday had delayed their order processing, so I played the waiting game some more. Then, on July 11th, I finally receive an email from support saying that my order is now "Shipping". Most people would have a different definition of shipping, as it is now 5 days later and it has not even been to the sorting facility, according to the USPS tracking link.

This is my first time ordering bullion ever, so I do not know if this is typical. I sincerely hope that I didn't order from Amagi right when they are starting to turn into a Coinabul. Is this how it normally goes? What is going on over there?

I believe your order was shipped yesterday. If you would like, we can share the tracking number. I'm not sure what Coinabul does, but our bitcoin sales are just a small fraction of our business..

Sadly, this is typical. While I don't have exact details on how each business works, it is too risky & costly to have a warehouse of silver and gold on-site.

I suggest you should seek out some large coin shows. Hand over a wad of cash and walk out with a hunk of metal. Usually no ID, receipts, or any other paperwork involved.

We are going to be at several coin shows this summer. The biggest one is going to be the Denver Coin Show in late October. Come check us out and say hello! We accept bitcoins on the spot as well.

My order just arrived! (It actually arrived yesterday, but I wasn't around to sign for it.)
I hope this delay was a fluke, as I do plan to order again in the future.
The option to purchase gold with Bitcoin is just too good to pass up...

Thank you for the follow-up, Stephen.
Do you plan to come to SoCal for any shows?
