Thank you 😀

Given the direction the spot is moving in... Harrington & Byrne's deal might not be a bargain anymore

If you waited for the perfect time to buy you’d never buy at all 

my plan is : buy when I can afford to , at the best price available  😊

They are still the cheapest sovereigns i've bought since December 2018 or pre June 2016 .

I see they now have it at £229 on the main landing page rather than having to hunt about for it with codes. I'm going to get sucked in like a black hole again

My account manager at Harrington is the same manager at Coin Portfolio, post looks very similar also. Is this a sister company?

Both based in Poole/Bournemouth (despite the London 'head office(s)' which can be in name only for companies).

Doesn't look very good does it?

I must say Coin Portfolio, while I didn't have a great experience with them, never lied to me as it appears this company have done, or gave me such a hard sell (nor scoffed at me for buying bullion, or told me I should be buying their hugely marked up proofs which I was told I could still make a fortune on).

Its a very tempting price but is it worth the hassle of the after sales mountain of post and unwanted phone calls ? The Sovereigns are £20 cheaper than elsewhere but the catch is your passing all your personal details onto a company you know nothing about . Are your details being passed on its a bit of a worry ? 

If an  unknown person offered you £20 for all your personal contact details while walking up the high street would it be a good safe practice .

I can only speak from my own personal experience, which is as follows:

* I have never had a phone call from H&B

* One of the sovereigns that I bought had a few minor nicks/marks on it; I was able to return it the next day in one of H&B's Freepost envelopes and a replacement coin arrived 3 days later (in perfect condition)

* I receive about one envelope a week from H&B with details of other stuff that they are hoping to sell me; I simply put it in the bin - which really is no hassle or hardship to me whatsoever

I've now had three 2019 sovereigns from this company, saving me around £60 when compared to the prices from other coin/bullion dealers; for that sort of saving, I am more than happy to put a few envelopes in my waste paper basket every now and then

[Midasfrog]

Thanks for the buying feedback Fastnick . I might be tempted to pickup a couple will see how the gold prices go over the next week or two I managed to pick up four sovereigns recently for £226 each from a private deal.

@Fastnick and I have similar experience which is as follows:

* I have had a single phone call from H&B which I stated I want to opt out of all marketing communications only interested in the Bullion 2019 Sovereign no other coins

* Only received one marketing mail before the phone call from Harrington and Byrne never received any other marketing (email/post) since

* Placed three orders in the past for three 2019 Sovereigns at a time using the same account registered with initially. Waited delivery before placing the next order.

I've now have nine 2019 sovereigns from this company and if Gold holds the $1270 level very tempted to buy some more.

Ordered nine over 1 month time frame without any issues but I took delivery before ordered the next batch of three.

[kimchi]

Despite telling them on the phone I wasn't interested in their proofs and only wanted any sort of notification of their yearly bullion deal I am getting junk mail every two or three days. I have decided to let it stack up until I have a postbox or two's worth and then send it all back individually (hopefully at their cost) marked 'return to sender'

I'm really glad other people have had good experiences and are delighted with their many coins, it seems I drew the shortest straw on this one! I will be avoiding this company at all costs in future, I'd rather pay a few quid more and deal with a company or individual with integrity.

My 2nd order was cancelled and money back, they did cancel my partner order as well so Abyss and few others were simply lucky.

[Wolves]

Thanks Abyss.

I got another spam from them today for some £999 set - just went straight to the shredder bar the postcard for my growing collection. Your address is locked into past orders but I wonder if you changed your delivery/billing address to zzzz zzzzz zzzzz would it just 'dead letter' all the future spam. Maybe worth trying for anybody that's fed up with spam.

I'm not for trying/doing it yet myself anyhow, like a few others I might try my hand for another sov or two in a few weeks.
