Once I've accepted a quote for gold/silver and paid my money, how can I be sure I will receive it and that you guys aren't a dodgy 'Nigerian scam'?

First up, we don’t receive any money directly from you when buying locally refined NZ gold and silver. We are brokers or agents only. You deposit the funds directly into the specific suppliers account (depending on what product you want and where the best price is) and they deliver the precious metals to you or supply them for you to pick up. We get a finders fee paid from them later (Note: This is taken out of their margin not added on to the total so it costs you no more to use our services).

You are able to contact them to confirm our relationship with them and that the bank account we supplied you is correct.

So then the chief concern to you would be, will the supplier deliver? The main suppliers we use have been in business for over 30 years supplying precious metals to private investors but also to Jewellers in NZ. So the short answer is that were they not to deliver (i.e. rip someone off), their reputation would be shot and effectively their business would be over. They are family owned and run businesses, conservative by nature and have been around for over 30 years.

From a legal perspective – once you accept, you are issued with a sales order and that is a legal contract. You are required to pay $xx and they are required to supply xx oz’s of gold.
