SD Bullion Ordering Policies

SD Bullion Ordering Policies

SD Bullion currently only accepts orders via telephone during posted hours.  Telephone conversations may be recorded for quality and control purposes.  You will be asked by the telephone agent if you would like to lock-in the price of your order.   When you confirm to lock in the price, you will have entered a binding agreement which cannot be cancelled without penalty.  Your payment method must be dated within 24 hours.  Payment must be received within 72 hours or you will risk being charged a penalty fee, your order being cancelled, or a combination of the penalty fee structure below.  A valid credit card is required to guarantee all orders. 

Payment Options
SD Bullion currently accepts credit card, bank wire, cashiers check, money orders, and personal checks.

Credit Card Only for Orders Less Than $1,000.00
Credit Cards/Personal Checks/Money Order/Cashiers Check accepted for transactions between $1,000.00 and $9,999.99

All orders are inspected on a case-by-case basis to minimize the risk of financial fraud.  Large orders are strongly encouraged to use bank wire.  Bank wire is the preferred payment method of SD Bullion.  Payment methods, other than bank wire, for orders over $2500.00 may be subject to additional documentation and inspection.
You will receive an invoice after placing your order via email which will inform you of payment instructions. 
SD Bullion reserves the right, upon our sole discretion, to cancel any order if we determine an order to be deemed questionable, suspicious or of significant risk regardless of payment method selected and price confirmation.

Cancellation of Orders
When an order is confirmed, prices become locked-in and the order becomes a binding agreement of the “buyer” and SD Bullion.  We will evaluate any request to cancel an order on a case-by-case basis.  Only under rare, extraordinary circumstances will a cancellation be approved.  All cancelled orders are subject to any market loss to SD Bullion along with an additional 3% of total purchase price.  Penalty will need to be paid within 48 hours.  Any market gains as a result of a cancelled order will remain the property of SD Bullion.  Cancellation request are required to be filed via telephone during normal business hours.
