Silver.com review

Silver.com suits buyers starting small. Its shipping page says there are no order minimums, and orders up to $198 pay a $9.95 flat rate that already covers shipping, insurance and signature. From $199, all three are free. Card and PayPal payments process instantly and go straight into the shipping queue, while paper checks and bank wire earn a 4% discount compared with card pricing. In-stock orders get a shipment notice and tracking within 3 business days of completed payment, and Silver.com says most orders ship the same day payment completes. Tracking runs through USPS, FedEx or UPS depending on what Silver.com picks for the order size and address. The tradeoffs are the same as at most online dealers: card buyers pay about 4% more, checks take 4 to 6 business days from deposit to clear, and you do not choose the carrier unless you pay for an upgrade. It ranks below SD Bullion and JM Bullion because it lacks a price match and has a narrower set of services.
