There is no waiting for an agent to pick up the phone. The agent handled my order in a professional and speedy manner.
However, there could be one area of improvement. Your website price of metals is in real time. That's really good, however, it would be helpful if you could offer real time prices on the page where the metals are being purchased without having to refresh the page.

Good website layout. Excellent personal service.

The website layout is good, instructions are clear.
I made a sale transaction, and then realized that critical details (address, email) in my account information were outdated and incorrect. Through use of the virtual chat, and speaking with an agent via phone, I was able to correct this information. I appreciate that your business could respond quickly to address these errors on my part.
