Hero Bullion review

Hero Bullion has the lowest free shipping threshold among the dealers that charge for small orders: orders over $149 ship free, compared with $199 at SD Bullion, JM Bullion, Silver.com, Provident Metals and BGASC. Its payment page lays out limits clearly. Credit and debit cards run from $.01 to $20,000 with no discount. eCheck runs from $.01 to $20,000 with a 4% discount, which makes it the cheapest way to pay for small orders. Paper checks, money orders and cashier's checks also earn 4% but need $500 or more, and bank wire needs $2,000 with no maximum. Crypto through BitPay earns 2%. Shipments are insured for the full locked-in price while in transit, but Hero must hear about a lost package within thirty calendar days, and coverage can be void if you tell the carrier to leave a parcel without a signature. The product range and services are narrower than the top three, which keeps it in fifth place.
