APMEX?
Monex?
Provident Metals?
Goldmart?
Any others?

I'm curious because I'm thinking of using Goldmart for Silver Maple leaf's but Silver spot moves so I want to make sure I get them quick.

You won't get anything "quick" from Goldmart When I used Goldmart not that long ago it took about 6 weeks to complete the transaction from the day I sent payment to the day I received my order. Granted, I paid with check which they tell you outright adds 7 business days to the process for the check to clear. It is what it is and the prices are hard to beat. Stay away from Goldmart if you want "quick" but you'll end up paying more for "quick". The choice is yours.

"Quick" is a word that doesn't show up in the dictionaries used by the companies you're looking at. Goldmart above all others is about as quick as the Pope is into Satan-worshipping.

I'm a former repeat GM customer. I used to pay them by doing the direct physical cash deposit into their BoA thing and they still hung my orders up for weeks. Their brand of so-called
"customer service" is bad news. When they hung me out to dry (after I physically put cash in their bank account and confirmed having done so by both email and phone call) and I tried
to follow up with them, they ignored my emails. When I called them up, they left me on hold for over 10 minutes and then treated me like crap after I finally got through.

They have a BBB rating of "F", which is a pretty rare thing but they've earned it a hundred times over. Look them up. Their real corporate name is Legacy Precious Metals.

Provident isn't what I could call "light speed" but they're better than GM and at least they don't ignore your emails and treat you like crap on the phone. And -- right now, Provident is
charging about 45 cents less per coin on silver Maples.

Do what you feel good with, but I'm personally finished with GM. I don't respond well to being treated like crap after putting thousands of cash dollars directly into their bank account.

Thanks Fat Freddy. and Iron. I think i'll use a bankwire and stick with Provident from what I read in your post. I don't need lightning fast shipping necessarily but the GoldMart stories you guys tell sounds pretty bad on their end.

As said above, Provident doesn't fly at Warp 10 or anything, but... They've been appropriately responsive to me when I contacted them, they never ignored me, never
treated me badly and never made excuses or told me untruths. Those are things that I just can't say about GM if I'm going to be honest about my experiences with them.

And right now, I think Provident's present prices on silver Maples, Philharmonics and Libertads are the best available. I can't argue with that...

Ive never made a huge order with provident but I have ordered from them several times. Very good customer service in my experience. They don't ship as fast as most ebay sellers, but at the same time I've never experienced any significant delays and everything was in the mail in a reasonable time frame and seemed to be about the same time frame as if you ordered something from another online site like a foot locker but not as fast as cabelas who does ship next day usually
