5 oz Emirates Gold Silver Cast Bar **** Fine (w/Assay)I ordered from ***** I recieved an empty envelope with a hole in the back. The certificate was in there, but not the five ounce silver bar I ordered. I even showed it to my mail carrier. I've since seen 54 negative feedbacks on this company for the past twelve months.

On Nov 22, 2023, I ordered four 5g and one 10g Pamp Suisse bars (in assay) on their site, marked as in stock. On Dec 07, 2023, my order's tracking was canceled. **************** cited an issue with a 5g bar but provided no details over the phone. Following up through website chat with Mashap revealed it was out of stock, contrary to their advertisement: "Items that are in stock are shipped within an estimated 1 to 5 business days of the receipt of cleared payment". After expressing my dissatisfaction, Mashap agreed to overnight the available items and send the missing 5g bar separately.Today, Dec 08, 2023, I received three 5g bars and one 10g bar, but one 5g bar is damaged. I promptly contacted them with pictures, but received an email hours later after they closed that said they often receive new items with imperfections.This is not acceptable because I am certain that the damage will cause this bar to be less desirable if I decide to sell it. Fractional gold in assay has a higher premium because of the packaging and processing so I feel like I did not get what I paid for. Despite them saying new items will often have minor imperfections, I've never received a damaged assayed bar and opinions around me agree that this is not acceptable. I would like Bullion Exchanges to exchange this damaged bar for an undamaged one. I do not want to be stuck with a less than desirable product that directly impacts its value.So far, this entire experience has been very frustrating.Business response

Thank you for the opportunity to address this matter. We received images of the product in question via email on 12/08/2023 pertaining to your order *********. Our customer service team responded via email on 12/08/2023 that this item is a bullion item and is subject to minor aesthetic flaws.
These items are mass-produced and are not struck to the same quality as collector quality items. These items are shipped directly from the mint and new items will often have imperfections. The images provided confirmed that the product was not damaged in any way. We confirmed that the item was still in new condition regardless of the imperfections. It is widely known throughout the industry that bullion products will exhibit these types of imperfections as they are not collectible or graded items. Furthermore, when selling back to us, the quote will be the same as a bar with no imperfections.
We confirmed via phone on 12/12/2023 that we could accept this bar back for an exchange as a courtesy. An email was sent on 12/13/2023 at 2:38 PM ET which confirmed this resolution and provided additional return details for the product in order *********.
Bullion Exchanges received no further response regarding the request to return the product from order *********.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
Unlike their other products, the listing for the gold bar I purchased did not state that it can be subject to imperfections so I feel Ive been mislead by the websites advertisement. The gold bar is indeed damaged and can be seen in the pictures Ive provided. Ive consulted many local professionals and they all agree that this should be returned at the vendors expense due to poor curation on their part. I would not have made this purchase if their advertisement stated a risk in imperfections.
Sincerely,

The item purchased was a bullion item as opposed to a collectible, and it is widely understood in the industry that these items are mass-produced and may contain slight imperfections. Despite these possible minor flaws, the product is still considered to be in new condition, as ultimately the 5 gram Gold Bar PAMP Suisse Lady ******* Veriscan ***** Fine (In Assay) came directly from the Mint, in assay, and was shipped exactly as it was received. Therefore, there is nothing valuably wrong with the item.
On 12/12/2023, we confirmed via phone conversation that we would accept this bar back for an exchange as a courtesy since it did not meet his expectations, provided he abide by the deadline of 12/18/23, and on the condition that he provide his own shipping label for the bar, since there was no drawback regarding the value of the item. We were met with no response by the customer.
The option is available as a resolution within seven (7) days from the date on which the customer has received the products from us as stated in our Terms & Conditions. This customer agreed to the Terms & Conditions prior to making the purchase, which visibly indicates that Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable. You are fully responsible for all taxes, as well as return shipping and handling costs.Customer response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:Bullion Exchanges is NOT totally factual about **** order **************. Yes, I called both **** and **** on July 24th, 2021 to report my Priority Signature Confirmation package, tracking number **********************, was never delivered to me nor did I provide my required signature. Last scan on tracking number was "gave to agent for final delivery". Nobody knows who this so called agent person is. It's not my property management, although i did check with them, They have had long standing policy, for over a decade, to not accept deliveries for any resident from any carrier. This so called final delivery never occurred.
As Bullion Exchanges knows, one of **** platform requirements is, all orders over $750.00 REQUIRES buyers signature to protect both seller and buyer, this did not occur. Bullion Exchanges never meet ****'s requirements as a seller.
Based upon forged signature, Bullion Exchanges jumped the gun, went ahead to claim with **** they have obtained my signature for delivery of parcel. Not true, I never signed for package because package was never delivered to me. I have two messages from **** showing I won my case on appeal. However, Bullion Exchanges still refused to pay. When I opened my account years ago on BE's own website, they required copy of my drivers license which I provided to them and is on file with them. If they had taken time they would of clearly seen that my signature on file did not match forged signature that rogue **** letter carrier entered into her hand held device.
In addition **** Official Policy doesn't allow any verbal agreements for their letter carriers to sign for any residents. Their official policy requires a signed written agreement uploaded to their database. No so called verbal agreements are allowed as to avoid any so called she said he said problems.
Now regarding Bullion Exchanges false claim that **** confirmed that *** ***** requested carriers to sign for all packages addressed to him. AGAIN, NOT TRUE. I never have and never will authorize anybody to sign me for. If BE, had checked my many orders from them both on their own website and they **** account, they would have seen I had signed for ALL my other packages, so why would this order be any different. This rogue letter carrier illegally forged my signature, tampered with mail, and was referred to **** OIG(Office of Inspector General) for disciplinary actions. They will never reveal publicly what action they will take, per *****************************-****. I think letter carrier stole package
*****************************-**** Consumer ********************************* which covers **********, conducted official **** investigation, not Bullion Exchanges manager in *************. Her conclusions, as provided in both her letters provided September 2021 to both Bullion Exchanges and myself as as follows. she concluded they have no written authorization on file which would allow letter carrier to sign for my packages. In addition, she concluded this package is irretrievably lost, they can not prove what actually happened to this parcel. Hence, reason **** paid $110.12 domestic Insurance Claim because package is considered irretrievably lost. The reason why I filed claim with **** Domestic Claim for Insurance is because Bullion Exchanges and ******* refused to file claim with them, despite ******** telling us both that either seller of buyer needed to file insurance claim based upon her findings. In fact, I called **** Domestic Insurance Claim asking for them to stop processing claim to send to me directly, in order for Bullion Exchanges to file directly with them. But, again ******* and Bullion Exchanges threw up another road block, asking *****************************-**** to change last barcode to delete last scan code which reads "gave to agent for final delivery". ******** said absolutely not, **** can never delete any history on bar scans for any tracking number, whether their true or not true. In fact, ******** provided both Bullion Exchanges and myself written email that she could not and would not honor BE's request.
I forwarded emails of **** official letters to *******-Supervisor @ Bullion Exchanges, she told me that Bullion Exchanges needed to contact *****************************-**** Official Investigator directly. I gave her ********************************* **** email address: ************************** and her **** cell ************. ******** told me she was more than happy to speak with ******* or anyone else from Bullion Exchanges to provide them further clarity and to email them directly both letters of official findings. But, ******** told me last time we talked that Bullion Exchanges never contacted her directly even though contact information was given to ******* numerous times. ******* did find supporting evidence to support case that package was misdelivered. In fact, she went the extra mile explaining to Bullion Exchanges that package was indeed misdelivered and it was concluded that package was "irretrievably lost". Package was certainly lost in transit as it never was delivered to me. So called "final delivery" never occurred. ******** did refer letter carrier involved to OIG(Postal Inspector) for employee misconduct, forging signature, etc.
Also, there exists extensive emails communications between *******-Bullion Exchanges, and myself, which I copied in *****************************, even though ******* never took time to contact her directly.
Bullion Exchanges just put up road block after road block. Oh, by the way Bullion Exchanges, **** OIG(Office of Inspector General) is a Federal *********************** They conduct their own investigations regarding illegal activity. local police agencies don't have authority to conduct **** crimes. you can contact ***************************** she can verify this for you. Not only did I open case with OIG, but, ***************************** also referred **** letter carrier to their law enforcement agency.
The Postmaster told me he could no longer deal with me because I escalated case to regional office, who took over investigation. **** Consumer ************************Phoenix is above local Postmaster, thus reason for ***************************** conducting officlal investigation and yes, she has alreadry provided Bullion Exchanges written documentation supporting my case.
I don't understand why Bullion Exchanges has never made the effort to contact **** official investigator. Bullion Exchanges can contact ***************************** and ask for OIG(Federal *********************** report, but I was told they would not be provided that to either parties. Bullion Exchanges has record of contact information for official investigator and beings they can't accept forwarded emails I received from ****, they need to contact directly. Per, ******* they have to speak with **** directly themselves, but have never reached out to *****************************.
I have fully cooperated with Bullion Exchanges in everything they've asked. They just need to understand OIG(Office of Inspector General) is official Federal ********************** with jurisdiction in this case.
Bullion Exchanges has refused from the get go to do the right thing. I'm shocked by my treatment.

Since a claim was already filed, Bullion Exchanges was unable to file a claim as **** allows only one (1) claim to be submitted per tracking number. In addition, you had refused to provide us with the required Police Report that would have allowed us to escalate this with our insurance.
Since the order was placed on the **** platform, you had agreed to the terms set forth by **** and your payment for this transaction was managed by ****. **** allows sellers to refund items up to 90 days after the original transaction, ***********************************************************************************. Our records also indicate that a case was escalated with **** in an attempt to retrieve the funds, however, **** denied the reversal since you did not provide **** documentation or evidence of the package being mishandled. The allotted time frame has passed for a refund or resolution. Refusal to comply with our process promptly has resulted in your requests being declined. Bullion Exchanges will not be reversing this decision.
