I wish I saw this thread 3 weeks ago, before I placed an order with Coinabul for a 1oz Krugerrand and paid for it with BTC. I quickly researched Coinabul beforehand and only found good reviews and recommendations everywhere. Now, 3 weeks later, my order is still showing as 'Processing', so I researched them some more and found a couple of negative reviews. I have tried contacting them on all their channels, including the messaging system on the site, e-mail, phone, PM on here and Skype, to try to get a status update or a refund if they are unable to complete the order, without success. I could not yet get hold of anyone and have not received one reply.

Does anyone know of a way to contact them to actually get hold of someone that can help?

It looks like at one point they were sort of reliable, so I guess there is a small chance I might still get my order, but I reckon I would prefer a refund at this stage, especially since they are one of the companies being subpoenaed.

In the meantime I have placed a similiar order at amagimetals.com, and it shipped within 3 days of placing the order. I'm still awaiting delivery since it's an international delivery, but at least there is progress and everything looks legit with tracking on the shipping. This time I tried contacting them before placing the order and got a response within minutes and they addressed all the questions and concerns I had, so I was happy to give them a try.

Where did you find good reviews on them? Also we should fix that... Links please.

Thanks

seconded. Please provide links to the sites you visited so we can make sure the reviews are fair and accurate.

I obviously cannot remember all the reviews etc. I found back then, but here are some of what I got after doing another quick search... (scary how many negative reviews I now find... back then there were very few)

Looks legit, right?

I will try to get hold of coingenuity on IRC. As I mentioned, it looks like they have done some good business in the past but have recently had some hiccups, so I'm still optimistic about my order. Hopefully Jay will be able to sort it out for me... If I can just get hold of him or someone else that can reply
