I've purchased gold from them before via wire transfer and I will not be making anymore PM purchases via wire transfer. I felt like a terrorist the way my bank was interrogating me with the amount of questions they wanted to know about the transfer, absolute disgrace considering it was MY MONEY. Direct debit or cheque from now on for PM purchases. Thanks mate, think I'll send them an email about that

Thanks for the reply Wren. Do CoinsInvestDirect still have the best price for Silver? I wish they accepted direct debit

The Silver chart indicates that Silver has dropped quite a bit recently, I've read it's a good idea to buy in the lows.

I'm looking to buy some silver, would it be a good idea to place an order tonight before the BOE expected rate cut?

This is only a theory but if we end up with a world wide depression and times get desperate (as they would) I could see a scenario like the above being implemented as a "solution". Desperate measures for desperate times etc I'd imagine that after no longer than a year in a global depression people would accept any solution to fix the problem.

This is what interests me, If the Chinese stop buying US debt will that result in either the US defaulting or turning on the printing press?

I should have said delivery confirmation email, I did get the invoice as soon as I placed the order and used the Invoice number for the wire transfer (still waiting on the email for delivery)

Ziknik I'm an idiot and I apologize! I'm from NI and I was using the wrong extension code! That's why I was having trouble with the number So really really sorry about that situation I just spoke to them on the phone now (got through straight away) and it was explained that they have been really busy and have not yet checked their bank for confirmation of the transfer. I was assured that funds would be checked at the end of the day and my email replied to and my order would be sent within the next 48 hours. I feel a lot better now, really sorry if I alarmed anyone. This was my first order for a pretty big amount (for me anyway) so I was beginning to get worried

I placed an order with coininvestdirect.com on friday and I still haven't received an invoice email, should I be worried? I've tried both their contact numbers +44 207 182 4020 +44 207 182 4564 I just end up getting this disconnected sound when dialing, guess I'll try email

I don't think it's a bad idea, I've bought quite a lot of them. Buying them is a hassle though If you go to Lidl you can buy 6 packs at a time but in Tescos you can only buy 2

Thanks mate, I've learnt an incredible amount over the past few days on this forum. Wish I had of joined this forum some time ago!

Good to know Compounded thanks

Does the 17.5% VAT charge apply to silver purchases in the UK? Or is this charge only applied when buying silver outside the UK from dealers like Coin Invest Direct?

Thanks mate, it's always nice to hear some reassurances from wise heads. Right now I'm stock piling some food (3 months supply) and buying items that can be used to barter like cigarettes & alcohol spirits like Vokda etc IMO if the TSHTF those items will be as useful as Silver (Plus they can be bought for a fixed price unlike PMs at the moment)

Yea man you're right, I'd rather have some insurance at this point than none Great to know ziknik, I think I'll try and buy some silver from airedalecoins.co.uk on Monday
