Bank Transfers and Cheaper Shipments

To avoid the extra costs of Multiple Shipments or Insured Parcels for high value sales to countries that do not accept Insured Mail -which we require due to PayPal’s Buyer Protection scheme- we have set a new method of payment by Bank Transfer, which doesn’t require insured shipments. If your country does not accept our Insured Mail (like the United States or Great Britain) and you wish to avoid paying the Multiple Shipments and the Insured Parcels, you can now request paying your order by Bank Transfer and have it sent by signed for uninsured mail.

We have set two bank accounts for this purpose -one in Great Britain and another in Spain- to which you can send your payments by Bank Transfer and benefit from our P&P offer; by which you can order any number of items at no extra cost. Obviously, since these shipments will be uninsured, we will not be held responsible for any lost orders beyond €30 / £25 / $40; which is the default compensation for all signed for uninsured mail. It is assumed that by requesting an uninsured shipment you are aware and accept the risks involved.
If you wish to pay your order by Bank Transfer, and have it sent by uninsured mail, you can do it by sending us a request to admin@silveragecoins.com.

2013 Postal Charges

With the new year we had to update our post & packaging prices adjusting them to the current postal charges and exchange rates. As usual, we kept these charges as close as possible to the real costs of signed for shipments of up to 50 grams. And as usual we will keep on charging only this flat rate, no matter how much your order weights or how much it’s worth; we’ll continue paying for the excess weight and the extra insurance charges to all countries accepting insured mail.


But fortunately, we only had to increase slightly our postal charges by around 25 cents / pennies for shipments to Spain and the European Union, and around 25 to 50 cents for shipments to the rest of the world –which will stay the same in British Pounds-.

Also, due to the differences in exchange rates between US dollars and Euros, we raised the maximum limit for purchases to countries that do not accept insured mail from $75 to $80. And as last year, all orders to these countries that pass this limited will continue to be offered insured parcels and multiple shipments at the new rates. There’s nothing else we can do at the moment regarding this issue, as we are subject to PayPal’s guarantee in case of damaged deliveries or lost shipments.
