SHIPPING POLICY
Last updated: October 2, 2026
Bay Area Precious Metals ships orders within the United States. The shipping options and charges available for your order will be displayed at checkout.
ORDER PROCESSING
Orders are typically processed and prepared for shipment within 1–3 business days after payment has been successfully received and verified.
Orders requiring additional payment, identity, fraud-prevention, or address verification may require additional processing time.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Delivery times shown at checkout are estimates and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary based on the shipping carrier, destination, weather, holidays, and other circumstances outside our control.
Once your order ships, tracking information will be provided when available.
HIGH-VALUE ORDERS
Because we sell precious metals, collectible coins, Goldbacks, and other valuable products, certain orders may require additional security measures.
Depending on the value and nature of an order, Bay Area Precious Metals may require signature confirmation, shipping insurance, address verification, or other reasonable safeguards before shipment.
We reserve the right to upgrade the shipping or security requirements of an order when reasonably necessary to protect both the customer and Bay Area Precious Metals.
SHIPPING ADDRESSES
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.
If you discover an error in your shipping address, contact us immediately at bayareapreciousmetalsca@gmail.com. Because orders may be processed quickly, we cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has been placed.
For security reasons, we may decline a request to redirect a high-value shipment to an address different from the address provided or verified with the original order.
LOST, DAMAGED, OR MISSING SHIPMENTS
If an order arrives damaged, contains an incorrect item, is missing an item, or appears to have been lost in transit, please contact us promptly at bayareapreciousmetalsca@gmail.com.
Please retain all packaging and shipping materials and provide your order number, photographs, and any other information reasonably requested to assist with a carrier or insurance claim.
We will review the circumstances and work with the applicable shipping carrier or insurance provider when necessary.
DELIVERY ISSUES
If tracking indicates that a package has been delivered but you cannot locate it, contact us promptly so that we can assist in reviewing the shipment and determining the appropriate next steps.
SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS
We reserve the right to restrict or decline shipment to certain addresses, destinations, forwarding services, or other locations when reasonably necessary because of fraud risk, carrier limitations, legal requirements, insurance requirements, or security concerns.
