Just had a text to say that mine is being delivered tomorrow, so all good 

Did they come?

[Fastnick]

Have just arrived home from a quick trip to Holland, and....

yep, it was here waiting for me  

[Pipers]

Good i will be ringing them on Monday then they have had my money long enough now. 

[ceegold]

Rang twice on Friday to ask what had happened to my order of 2 2019 sovs they promised to ring me back but never did. Rang on Saturday phone was answered but told this was only an out of hours service and  they were unable to provide an answer. Got a call this morning to say they were out of stock but assured me that they would be delivered this week. As the order was placed on 31/5/19 I am thinking this is a scam.

[goldmember44]

Wow... looks pretty dodgy to me.

[kimchi]

Blimey.

[HighlandTiger]

So, am I going to get my coins or not?

Not too bothered as I payed by paypal, and I'll get my cash back no problem. I hope

did you speak to them?

[Pipers]

Tried no answer, so i have emailed them with questions. Why have the Sovereigns not been delivered. When are the sovereigns going to be delivered by.  ETC.  If i do not get an answer within a few days then i will get in touch with the credit card.

Do you think this bloke has been just buying them from the mint and selling them at a loss, but this recent price hike had caused him to make too much of a loss?

Snap. I told them to reply to my email within 24 hours or I would be taking the matter further. Have opened a resolution case with Paypal, which means they will send them a email as well. Maybe the threat of losing their paypal account might shift their arses.

Maybe I’m just a cynical old git but I wonder if the guy who started this thread has something to do with them...?

All his posts are about this company.  He supposedly received his sovs from them in 3 days (ordered May 15th, received May 18th).  And he accused @ilovesilverireallydo of slander over a previous heads up of the company...

Haha the gold angel and harison obviously know each other very well lol

Not at all. I think we should highlight as often and as relevant when these type of things crop up. Too many shysters out there.

Absolutely, fully agree 👍

[terakris]

It maybe he wants to start a new business in this sector and his way of getting his name out there is to offer these cheap sovereigns in the hope to get return customers or up sales on other items.

Many now successful companies have started from people spare rooms so you never know, this "could" go on to be a valid company people buy from for  years... but... i would also personally be worried a little. The delay in shipping may indicate they dont have the sovs in stock, perhaps expecting a dip in the market to make money.

There are 2 sides to every story, but with the amount of money being spent on bullion, it can be way too easy to make some money fast and do a runner. Thing is, lets say this was a seller on eBay, they have safe guards in place to some degree but it doesn't stop people getting scammed. It can happen all over the place, and I  think people being cautious on this one are probably wise till we have a bit more proof/feedback on the current orders.

I have looked into the Buckingham Collection LTD., I haven't bought from them, this info is just to help out other forum members:

The Director is 29 years old, born Sept 1989, Mr Ronnie Lee Royston.

The company was formed only in Sept last year, it’s capital stands currently at £100, Ronnie Lee Royston is the major shareholder with 70% total shares.

He has had numerous Ltd companies over the last few years, including:

GYM PANTHER LTD, Company Number 11369591, Incorporated May 2018, voluntary strike off the register (no accounts) APRIL 2019.

HOME APPLIANCE ASSIST LTD, Company Number 10383472, incorporated Sept 2016, current capital and reserves: £21,935

DOMESTIC RESPONSE LTD (Previously known as INSURE MY LIFE LTD), Company Number 11486926, incorporated July 2018, termination of appointment as director 12 Nov 2018 (no accounts).

BUCKINGHAM COLLECTION LTD, Company Number 11577407, was incorporated on 19 SEPT 2018 with £100 capital, there are currently no financial statement file returns.

The only financial statements I can find are from his washing machine/home appliance/boiler servicing business, and looking at the latest file returns I expect this to probably be a one man and a van operation having earned £21,935.
