A few months ago I made a purchase from Northwest Territory Mint and was more than satisfied with the order. I was in the market for a wedding gift for my cousin, I wanted to give him something that meant something to me but he would be able to get something out of, but was also unique. People in my family typically give money for a wedding present but I decided to get him and his wife a bar of silver. Most of the larger bars from this company have an option for a blank back that you can have engraved. So I got them a 5 oz engraved bar of silver. Nothing fancy, it just had their names on it and the wedding date, but the price was good so I got a regular (not engraved) bar for myself as well. They gave me a three week estimated delivery date and that was satisfactory b/c the wedding wasn't for another month. Well, the very next day silver fell a few dollars per oz, so I called them up and told the women who answered I wanted to add on my original order. I ordered another of the same bar I got for myself so in total I had 3 bars coming to me. She said that she would be able to place the order but wasn't sure if she could "add on" to the order to have it all shipped together b/c the orders were placed at different times. I told her either way it didn't matter as long as it all got to me.
So about a week passes and my doorbell rings. Sure enough it was my mailman with a package from NWT Mint. The packaging was extremely secure. In fact, I remember getting frustrated not being able to open the package without a knife. Finally, I cut the package open and sure enough all three bars were there. No extra shipping charges or anything. The two bars I bought for myself, were not factory sealed but did come with awesome vynal slips. The engraved bar came with a very nice leatherette display box which was I was not expecting. All three items were bubble wrapped very tightly and taped to ensure the bubble wrap would not come off.
My cousin said he liked my gift out of all the gifts he got because of the originality and that it is a "legitimate highly liquid investment." Those were his words. He was not exposed to precious metals before this gift but now he is interested and plans on buying some more.
Overall, I had a great experience, very quick shipping, good packaging, great products and pretty low shipping charges (it was 15 bucks for all 3 bars). Also when you order they give you an option to receive a free PM investor pack which has a bunch of great information on why to buy PM's for investment. They also give you an option to receive a monthly newsletter which gives the latest updates in the PM market. The investor pack came within a week of the delivery of the physical silver. In closing, I was very pleased and would do business again with this company.
EDIT: I should also mention, they have one feature that I haven't seen many other dealers offer, which is bullion conversion. You can ship them your big silver bars and they will melt down your bar into your choice of smaller bars/rounds of any product they mint. Pan Am, NWT, and Stagecoach. Mix and match is available from what they advertise. I personally haven't used this service, yet.
