Assured Asset ExchangeReviews of aabids.com

I bought an ounce of gold from this website. Actually won (2) of them. Won them at at a good price. I read the terms and everything. My problem that I had with them was the cost of shipping, (2) one ounce gold bars do not weigh much. I understand there are handling plus postage. When I received the receipt, it showed $96.00 . That right $96 US dollars. I sent them a message which they replied was for Insurance cost plus shipping. Now I'm thinking shipping is about $10, maybe $15. But $80-$85 for insurance!!!! It's a bit excess!!! I sent another message for a copy of the UPS receipt (UPS shipping charge shown on my receipt) their reply was the tracking number from FedEx only!!!!! Since shipping/handling/insurance are not disclosed, I'm assuming they want to make more money in that cost and not letting customers/government know. I will not be purchasing from Assured Assets Exchange again!!!! I'll purchase from Gold dealers and probably pay a little less without HIDDEN FEES!!!!

I won a few items and would like to use my card instead of a wire transfer. I dont know any of you personally. I dont trust my banking information being out there like that.

I've mostly had good experiences with AAbids, with the auctions. I've never had a problem with the jewelry i won at auction except one time when i won a ring, in the description stated it was 14kt gold but it keeps turning my finger green and none of my other jewelry i purchased from AAbids turns. So I don't know what happened with this paticular ring but its very disappointing. That is the reason why i haven't been participating in anymore auctions. Ive wone plenty of auctions with AAbids but im apprehensive now.

Items delivered were not in the condition described. I paid a premium for uncirculated coins.
