**MARCH 2019** Group Order from The European Mint

[BackyardBullion]

Time for the BREXIT BUSTING MARCH 2019 Group Order!

This group order will be from The European Mint https://www.europeanmint.com/

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT and JOINING THIS ORDER.

Also, if you are interested in joining this order please "follow" this thread so as and when I have updates I can more easily share them. 

Dates for this Group Order

This group order will be open for 1 WEEKEND ONLY - 16th & 17th March 2019 closing on Sunday 17th March 2019 @ 5pm UK time.

These dates WILL NOT be changed/extended and are fixed. I do however reserve the right to extend/end the order should an extenuating circumstance arrive - but this is unlikely to happen. 

The delivery estimate for your orders is going to be week commencing 1st April 2019 (not an April fools joke!). 

This is an ESTIMATE only and may be subject to change earlier or later. 

Terms and conditions for joining the Group Order

Joining this group order is at your own risk. Please make sure you read the following carefully because by joining the group order you are agreeing to the following.

1) I (Backyard Bullion) cannot take financial responsibility for lost/damaged items that are part of this group order.

2) Once payment has been received by Backyard Bullion all orders are final and cannot be refunded. 

3) Orders are quoted based on live prices from the dealers website. If these prices change between quotation and payment additional funds will need to be sent (or refunded) where appropriate.

4) You agree that I (Backyard Bullion) will act as an agent on your behalf to purchase items from the above mentioned dealers. 

5) Backyard Bullion can only dispatch your order upon successful delivery from the appropriate dealer and only upon payment of a separate postage invoice - which is sent after the order has closed. 

6) Any loss or damaged item claims will be initiated and managed by me (Backyard Bullion) and any payouts for claims can only be made upon the successful payout from said claim. Backyard Bullion cannot be held financially responsible for any unsuccessful claims.

7) You are liable for any and all taxes that may be applied to your order for your home country of delivery. 

8. By joining the group order you agree unconditionally to all the above. 

Brexit and restrictions on types of coins available in this order

Goods for this group order will be turned around quickly and will be delivered to me before Brexit.

In order to facilitate this fast turnaround we are limiting the types of coins available to purchase in this order. 

This list is fixed, if the coin you want is not on it - tough. Sorry!

The reason for this is to keep the order as simple as possible, but to give a range of items for people to buy. It will allow the EU mint to turn around the order much faster. 

The list:

2019 Britannia's

2019 US Eagles

2019 Maple's

2019 Perth Mint Dragon Bars (Capsules available too)

2019 Oriental Border Britannia

2 oz Queen's Beast Unicorn (Capsules available too)

2 oz Queen's Beast Bull (Capsules available too)

2 oz Queen's Beast Falcon (Capsules available too)

10 oz Queen's Beast Unicorn

*************The Yale of Beaufort************** ONLY IF I GET CONFIRMATION BEFORE NEXT WEEKEND THAT THE EU MINT HAS THEM IN HAND

At this time the Yale is NOT included. I will share an update if it is. 

How do you place an order?

The way this works is simple. You will decide what you want by looking at https://www.europeanmint.com/ and send me a private message via the forum WITH CLICKABLE HYPERLINKS PLEASE! to each item and how many you want. Please only message me via The Silver Forum only. 

I will send you a screen dump of the basket and total on their website and then I will send you another screen dump from www.transferwise.com showing the conversion and total in £.

You then send the funds directly to me via Banks transfer and as soon as I get the funds I will place the order. Your order is then locked in and confirmed, you cannot cancel after this stage. 

I will NOT be accepting PayPal F&F as a payment method. There will be no exceptions this time, so please be ready to make a banks transfer. 

 

When to order and pay Backyard Bullion?

I will only be placing orders on the weekend of 16th & 17th March and any funds must be with me before 5pm on Sunday 17th March. I will not be able to place orders mid week unless there are extenuating circumstances. This is simply because I am a busy person and organising and keeping track of these orders is difficult. Feel free to send me your shopping lists during the week but understand that I will not be able to lock it in until the weekend - this is just the way it has to be so be aware that prices may fluctuate in the run up to the weekend. I would rather do it like this than potentially forget or miss recording orders and making mistakes. 

Deadline

The order will close on Sunday 17th March 2019 @ 5pm UK time. You will need to have got funds to me by then if you would like to order anything. Should there be any delays in this it will mean the group order will be delayed and I will communicate any changes out to people via this thread. 

Shipping costs & Share of international postage

I will add 1.2% to all orders at the ordering stage of the process - this is different to previous group orders. It is so that I do not have to front the 1.2% of the total order myself and wait for it to come back to me in drips and drabs. Wasn't an issue when the orders were €10,000 but when they get to €50,000 I have to fork out over £500 each time. 

Delivery from me to you

How do I get my coins from Backyard Bullion?

Once the order has been delivered to me you will receive an "onwards postage invoice" which will include onwards postage and packaging from me to you. We will sort out the onwards postage and packaging once the order has been completed. Onwards shipping is at your choice and risk via Royal Mail. It is at this stage that we will sort out the share of international postage (if any applies). 

Here is a quick guide as to what the onwards postage costs will be - this is subject to change where appropriate and is meant to give you a guide as to the costs of postage only. 

PLEASE NOTE ROYAL MAIL PRICES GO UP ON MARCH 25th so this chart will be out of date. 

 

Please note that the maximum that you can send via Royal Mail Special delivery for a decent price is 2kg (about 55 oz). 

If you would like to order more than this please get in touch to discuss shipping options.  

****Please also note that there is NO PRECIOUS METALS INSURANCE on any royal mail service other than Special Delivery****

What happens in the event of an issue with delivery?

As I said in the disclaimer at the top of this thread, I cannot be held financially responsible for the loss/damage of any items in this group order. The European Mint has insurance for their parcels but I have never had to put a claim in and I do not know how likely it might be that something is refunded should it go missing in transit. There is an intrinsic risk in ordering from any international company but I am confident that we will be able to resolve anything that might happen. Please bear this in mind before joining the order. 

It is important to note the above terms and conditions and re-iterate that joining this order is at YOUR OWN RISK. I cannot be held responsible if items are lost/damaged when arriving from the European Mint.

Should there be any issues I will of course endeavour to work with the dealer to solve them, but I cannot guarantee a resolution. 

Delivery from me to you is of a postage method of your choosing. As I have mentioned above there is no precious metals insurance for anything other than Royal Mail Special Delivery. In the event an order is missing or damaged any insurance claims will be made by me (Backyard Bullion) and refunds can only be paid upon successful completion and payout from Royal Mail. In the event that a claim by Royal Mail is denied I cannot be held financially responsible.

Final Thoughts

Is it worth it to join?

Yes - buying silver from Europe is the single cheapest way of buying silver. Doing it as part of this group order is cheaper still. Some of their coins may be more expensive (the more collectable type coins) but certainly not by much. 

If you do not want to have the hassle of setting up an account with the EU mint then the group order is for you. 

If you do not want the hassle of doing an IBAN banks transfer to the EU mint then the group order is for you. 

If you do not want the hassle of waiting for an international delivery to your house when you do not know when it is coming, then the group order is for you!

Additionally you will be helping support my YouTube channel because being able to unbox a large quantity of silver for my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/backyardbullion is always a fun and popular video and it helps grow my brand and business.

Does Backyard Bullion charge for this service?

I do not charge for you to join this group order - but we do ask you to consider contributing funds in the form of a "tip" or "Service charge". We ask for just £1 (but as many of you frequently do please feel free to donate whatever you feel appropriate!)

Another great way to say thank you is to purchase my Hand Poured silver. I will happily offer discounts on my items to factor in the combined postage!

I will not be offended or angry if you choose not to pay the "tip" or buy my hand poured silver - but bear in mind that proceeds from the tip help feed Mrs BYB a slap up takeaway and keeping her interested in all the hard work of doing these group orders...

Combining postage with other BYB items

Of course, if you want to combine other orders with this group order we would be more than happy to offer discounts on our hand poured silver. 

Have you got any questions?

If you have any questions or would like any more information then please don't hesitate to ask here or via PM. 

In the meantime - get me your shopping lists!

Fantastic news that we've all got the chance to grab some more cheap silver and platinum before the whole ludicrous Brexit debacle (if indeed it happens!) closes this window of opportunity....

Wondering if they would send in a tube? Usually 25 to a tube isnt it? Or is it 20? 

[Tn21]

25 for Brits

if you ordered 25 I'm sure you will get it in a tube.

Do you know if 20 are ordered will they come loose or in a tube? 

 

Thanks

Thanks 

It will be dependent on if we have any spare one's in the order and we decided it is easier to package them this way. I cannot guarantee a tube.

We do sell spare generic 20 capacity tubes that fit Britannias for £1

As others have said it is 25.  If you click on the any coin page at europeanmint, the details page will show how many are in tubes, monster boxes or sealed rolls etc.

[ShineyMagpie]

hmm.... more shiny stuff!!

Epic!

Is there any chance of getting a 1kg bag of those old American junk coins as part of this group order?

I know tis not part of the list but it would be a simple addition to process
