Texas Precious Metals review

Texas Precious Metals is the only dealer here that advertises free shipping on all orders, with no minimum to reach. It ships orders within 3 business days of cleared payment, and its payment page ties the shipping method to order size: ground (3 to 5 business days) under $1,000 and next day air from $1,000. Payment options narrow as orders grow. Credit card and ACH work under $10,000, ACH and bank wire from $10,000 to $24,999.99, and bank wire only from $25,000, which must be pre-approved. The company stopped accepting bank checks, cashier's checks and money orders in 2013, and takes cash only in person at its Shiner, Texas facility, limited to $10,000 per household per calendar year. It also runs Texas Depository storage and an IRA and 401k rollover service. We could not find a published cash discount on its payment page, so compare the final checkout price with the 4% discount offered at other dealers.
