Placed my first order with Veldt Gold today, nothing big just a few one gram gold bars and 10 silver rounds. Well see how things go, but so far everything seems good. The exchange rate for ETH seemed to over charge by $14.62, however the btc to eth rate on exchanges is currently greater then the eth to usd, as well as usdt by about 35$. So all seems reasonable, no real exchange rate rape noted. It would have cost 35$+ to send btc from exchange to personal wallet, then another 28$+ to make a purchase on providentmetals (at least). Veldt's selection is limited but I'm happy with what they do offer. For shipping, for my order atleast, I had the option of free for $5.95.
