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            On 12/05/2023 this business's accreditation in the BBB was revoked by the BBB's Board of Directors due to failure by the business to adhere to the BBB requirement that Accredited Businesses meet and abide by the following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

            These guys are a rip off. They say your items may not ship for 5-8 weeks but when you call to get the status of your order they tell you the clock doesn't start ticking until 10 days after they cash your check and that doesn't start until five days after you place the order. So, you're looking at at least two months before they ship your merchandise. In the meantime, they're collecting interest on your money. And, if you want to cancel your order they charge you a fee. My guess is that they delay your shipment in the hopes of getting a better price for themselves and then pocket the difference. Not a good way to do business. They advertise a good price, but it's no better than my local coin shop. NEVER AGAIN!
