    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I sent 4 1 ounce gold bullion coins (2 US eaples and 2 Austrian philharmonikers) to UCB to sell to them. The coins were delivered about 10:30AM on Friday, March 8, 2024. This is from the **** tracking. On Monday a sales rep ******* ********) confirmed receipt of the coins and that I should receive a proposed price Tuesday morning. I've received no communication from them at all. When I try to call I either get a message that ***** is in the office (even at 3:00PM in the afternoon local time), or I am stuck leaving a voice mail because *********************** pretty much never answers his phone. Given that this is over eight thousand dollars of gold and that I have discovered that UCB doesn't have what you might call a sterling reputation, I don't want to wait too long to do something. I left a message in his voice mail being sure to let him know that I am angry that I've received no communication whatsoever (I believe that it was in a transcript from a class action suit against them that someone there claimed they didn't realize the customer was upset or angry). I also told him I would be starting this complaint process Thursday if I didn't hear anything. I either want the process finished and a check sent to for the coins, or I want them back. Additionally note that as the price of gold is changing it could very well be declining while I am waiting. The **** tracking code is 9506 1131 5401 4065 6210 55.

    I had a tremendously positive experience at Universal Coin and ********. All my needs were met and they went out of the way to provide me additional information to deepen my understanding. I found Dr. **************** to be extremely knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend UNiversal Coin and ********!
