Hey everyone, I'm thinking about investing in gold, and American Hartford Gold caught my eye. Has anyone had experience with them? Are they legit? I’ve seen some positive reviews, but I’m always cautious.
 
I haven't used American Hartford Gold personally, but I've researched them. They seem pretty reputable, especially in the precious metals IRA space. They have good ratings on sites like Trustpilot and the BBB. Have you checked those?
 
They’re definitely legit from what I've seen. American Hartford Gold has been around for a few years and focuses on precious metals IRAs. I think their CEO even appears in financial interviews. That’s usually a good sign since it shows transparency. I’d say they’re one of the safer options if you’re new to gold investing.
 
I actually had a mixed experience with American Hartford Gold. I tried them out for a small gold purchase, and while the transaction itself was smooth, the delivery was delayed by a week due to “inventory issues.” Customer service was polite and kept me updated, but it still felt inconvenient. I’d say they’re legit, but maybe not the best if you’re in a hurry. Anyone else experience delays?

I’ve worked with them a few times, and I never had any delays. My orders arrived when they said they would, so maybe it’s just bad luck, JetonWave? Still, good to keep in mind. Sometimes it also depends on what product you’re buying - bullion vs. coins can have different shipping times.
 
Hey, just jumping in with a slightly different angle here. American Hartford Gold also has a lot of educational resources, which I appreciate as someone new to precious metals. I like how they break down the history of gold and silver in their newsletters. I’m still learning, so that’s been helpful to me.

Interesting! I had a similar experience with another company a while back, so it might not be unique to American Hartford Gold. Precious metals companies sometimes get caught up in supply chain hiccups, especially during high demand. Was this during a time when gold prices spiked?

Yes, it was during a price spike. Maybe that’s why. Either way, they eventually delivered, and the quality of the product was good. I’d still recommend them but with a heads-up about potential delays during peak times.

That makes sense. It’s kind of like crypto exchanges during big surges—everything slows down. I had no issues with my order from American Hartford Gold earlier this year, but the market was calmer then. I think timing plays a big role with these kinds of things.

I had a similar issue with delays once, but I was buying silver rounds. I’ve noticed that coins and rounds tend to take longer than bars, depending on what’s in stock. If timing is important, it might be worth asking their sales team before you place the order.

Good point, I’d also recommend checking if they offer expedited shipping. Some companies have that option, but you need to ask.

I wouldn’t let one delay tarnish your view of American Hartford Gold. They’re still one of the more consistent companies out there, in my experience.
 
This is all super helpful. Thanks for sharing, everyone! I’ll definitely ask about shipping timelines before committing. Any other tips for a first-time buyer like me?

Yes! Make sure to get a clear understanding of their fees, especially for storage if you’re setting up an IRA. Also, double-check the buyback terms if you ever plan to sell through them. Knowing the process upfront can save a lot of stress later.

Agreed with MabelStrut. Also, if you’re buying physical gold, inspect the packaging when it arrives. American Hartford Gold usually does a good job, but it never hurts to be thorough. Take your time and enjoy the process—it’s a solid investment!
