    Current Alerts For This Business

    Pattern of Complaint:

    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning delivery issues. Customers allege they are not receiving products in the timeframe promised per their confirmation email. In September 2023, BBB submitted a written request to the company encouraging them to address the pattern of complaints. 

    The business submitted the following as a response to the complaint pattern inquiry:

    "This is completely false as Gainesville Coins does not and I repeat does not include any such order shipping  promise date in any type of order confirmation email. All email confirmation emails contain the following statement "due to unprecedented demand for precious metals, your order will ship approximately 3 weeks after your payment clears." We specifically use the word "approximately" so customers can  understand that this is the typical processing time but is in no way a guarantee".

    Accreditation Revocation:
    On 12/05/2023 this business's accreditation in the BBB was revoked by the BBB's Board of Directors due to failure by the business to adhere to the BBB requirement that Accredited Businesses meet and abide by the following standards:

    6. Address disputes forwarded by BBB quickly and in good faith.

    6D. Cooperate with BBB in efforts to eliminate the underlying cause of patterns of customer complaints that are identified by BBB.

    They're terrible and deceptive and get you to pay by check so your ability to dispute is useless unless legal action or law enforcement gets involved.
