Shipping
Q: When do you ship out the product?
A: If it does not show Out of Stock status, all products usually ship the same day or the next business day. Unlike other vendors who take several weeks to ship, we always keep adequate stock and are known for the industry's FASTEST SHIPPING - ships within 48 hours or less.

Q: How fast can I get the package?
A:

For gold, platinum and palladium products, we normally ship USPS first class package mail (2-5 days) or priority package mail (2-3 days). For silver over 100 oz, we usually ship UPS or Fedex ground services.

For high valued orders over $3000, we will ship USPS registered mail. This takes a little longer (5-7 days), but it is the safest way to transport your precious investment.

We never offer overnight shipping for fraud prevention reason. Every order will be carefully reviewed, and our risk management department reserve the right to decline any orders that we deem to be risky or possible fraud. All fraud attempts will always be reported to the local police department/FBI.

If your order is urgent, please call our customer service department and we may arrange express shipment for a small processing fee. A copy of driver license and credit card authorization form are required. To ensure the fastest shipping, customer should always pay via wire transfer instead of other payment methods.


Q: What shipping methods are available? Free Shipping?
A:

Our basic shipping is free.

You may upgrade to express shipping methods that come with additional shipping fee. Express shipping requires customer to call us and explain the reason, as well as a copy of driver license and credit card authorization form to prevent fraud.


Q: How do I track my shipment?
A:

You will get an email notification with the Fedex, UPS or USPS tracking number once it's shipped. It may take up to 48 hours or longer before the package is checked into the carrier's tracking system. That means even though your package has already shipped from our security vault and is on its way to you, the carrier may not be able to provide any information about your package for up to 48 hours.


Q: Where do you ship to?
A: We only ship to the domestic US locations. We do not ship to locations outside of the US. No international orders at this time.

We only ship to Billing Address. If you need to ship to an address that is different than your billing address, you need to call us and explain the reason, in addition, we need a copy of your driver license and signed credit card authorization form. We may also require wire transfer to prevent fraud risk.

We offer free basic shipping for gold, platinum, palladium to all US locations. We also offer free basic shipping for silver orders to domestic US locations. We charge a small fee for silver orders over 100 oz to Hawaii and Alaska.


Q: What is your holiday schedule?
A: We are usually closed for official US holiday when UPS and Fedex close their operation.


Ordering
Q: How do I order?
A: You may place the order online or by phone.

Ordering online gives you complete control and information. It saves you time in just a few simple ordering steps. It is secure - the checkout process is on the secure site. You will see your order status immediately after you submit your order. The account you created during the ordering provides you with Order History, Wish List, and Profile Management.

For customers that do not feel secure ordering online, we can also assist you with ordering over the phone. We encourage our customers to utilize the online automated ordering process. This allows us to keep our overhead low and pass on the cost savings to the customers through lower prices.

If you are buying in large quantities, please call us so that we can answer any questions that you may have.

Q: How do I order over the phone or with a check?
A: We prefer that all purchases be paid with a credit card. This allows us to ship immediately. Payment by check could cause a delay of up to two weeks. We cannot ship out products until the check has cleared our bank.

To start, you would shop online as usual: Browse the products, select the product(s) you want and add to cart. Then continue your checkout process. After registration, you can select Phone Order or Check as the payment method. Then finish all the steps until you submit your order and see an Invoice shown on the page.

Once you see the Invoice after submitting order, that means your order has been placed in our system. You will see "Queued" on the Order Status field on the header portion of the Invoice, this means your order is pending payment. You must call us immediately at toll free 1-888-425-8688 for us to manually process your credit card to complete the order, or let us know that you are sending out the check.

If you are paying with check, please include a copy of your invoice along with the check, and mail them to the following address:

G2K LLC
2429 Bissonnet St, Suite 828
Houston, TX 77005

Q: Are all your products in stock and available to ship immediately?
A: We have about 98% of our products online in inventory at any one time. If you see the number of items available, then they are ready to be shipped the same day or the next business day. Out of stock items will be marked as "Out of Stock". If you want to check the stock status and availability time, please call us.

Q: What happens after I place my order?
A: Our ordering system immediately emails you a copy of your latest order invoice once you've placed an order through our online ordering system. You will also receive another email from us once the order is completed. Please ensure that you are using your correct email account to view your email notification (i.e. the same email address you specified when using our online ordering system).

Our risk management department will review every order and decide whether we accept or decline the order based on the fraud risk.

Q: How do I access My Account and view Order History?
A: Login first, then click on the Help link on the top right corner of the page. You will see all of your account information, such as View Cart, Wish List, Modify Profile, and Order History, on the left column under Your Cart.

You will see the Order History section where it stores all of your orders with a search function. It also shows the order status of Failed, Processed or Finished. In this section, you may also print out your invoices.

Q: How do I cancel an order?
A:

It is standard industry practice that a bullion sale cannot be canceled once it is placed. If an order has been approved for cancellation, there will be a $30 fee, plus credit card processing fee of 2-3%, and adjustment for market loss.

If you have a special situation, call us immediately to see if there's a way to cancel your order. Email is not an acceptable method of making a cancellation request due to the timely nature of our processing. Under no circumstances will the order be canceled if it has already been prepared and shipped out.


Q: Do you accept Group Sales orders?
A: Contact us if you are interested in purchasing a large quantity of products for your business or organization. Some volume discounts may be available.


Payment
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A:

Our website accepts most forms of US based payments. We accept credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diner's Club, and Discover for less than $5000 transactions.

We also accept money orders or cashier's checks. (See How do I pay by check or money order? for detail.)

You can also pay using PayPal for most of our products.

For transactions over $3,000, we encourage wire transfer. Wire transfer has the fastest shipping time.

We offer in store credit for all cash forms of payments over $500, including Paypal eCheck and wire transfer. For details, please refer to check out page.


Q: How To pay by credit card?
A: Our online real-time payment gateway is provided by Authorize.net, one of the leading online payment processing companies in the world. The transactions take place in a secure environment (SSL), and we are not informed of any of the credit card details. We only receive an ok/not ok message from Authorize.net, indicating the final result of your transaction request. These are highly secure, and governed by a 24/7 fraud and support team.

Q: How to pay by check?
A: First place the order online by selecting the Check method to generate an invoice. Then call us at 888.425.8688 and inform us that you are mailing out a check along with a copy of the invoice. In order to hold the merchandise pending receipt and clearing of your check, we will need to ask you to place a 5% security deposit using a credit card. Once your check clears, the 5% secuity deposit will be credited back to your credit card account.

Please make out your check for the full invoice amount payable to:

G2K LLC

2429 Bissonnet St, Suite 828

Houston, TX, 77005


*Important: We need to receive your payment within 5 business days of placing your order. Otherwise, the transaction will be canceled, since, after this period of time, the item(s) will need to be made available to other customers. This will result in a penalty charge equivalent to 5% of security deposit and no refund will be made.


Q: Why did my credit card transaction get declined?
A: There are several reasons for a credit card transaction to be declined. Usually, you can tell why it was declined by reading the error message. If it is a zip code mismatch or a cvv code mismatch, you may simply change the information and retry it.

If you see an error message that you do not understand, you should call your credit card (check card) customer support and ask them why they declined this transaction. The common reasons include over credit limit, insufficient fund or risk control. Then you can come back to our site or call us for assistance.

Sometimes when your credit card get declined by our system, your credit card company still takes up the amount against your credit limit and affect your available purchase power, in this case, please call your credit card company and simply request them to "remove those declined transaction" from your card immediately to free up your credit line. Only cardholders can do this, and we, as the merchant, are not able to assist on this.

Q: Do you accept google checkout as a form of payment?
A: We currently do not accept google checkout option.


Coupons/Gift Certificates
Q: What is the difference between store coupons and gift certificates?
A: Store coupons are used during promotion periods where customers may be entitled to discounts, free gifts or free shipping by entering their coupon codes during the checkout process.

Gift certificates are similar to store coupons, but are normally used for gift-giving.

Q: How do I redeem your store coupon?
A: Once you've added your favorite items in your cart, all you have to do to redeem the coupon is enter the coupon code in the Coupon Code box at the bottom of "Your Cart" page below the Checkout button, then click on the Submit button. The TOTAL of this page will then reflect the discount applied.

You can only use one coupon per order.

Q: How do I order or redeem your gift certificate?
A: We currently do not offer gift certificates.


Return Policy
Q: What is your return policy?
A:

All orders are final and no return are accepted. This is due to the fact that the market for precious metals, coins and bullion fluctuates minute by minute and the seller simply cannot take the risk that orders are canceled when market conditions changed unfavorably for the buyer. Please use careful consideration before you placing your order.

We will exchange for defective merchandise if a defect merchandise slipped from our QA process. We will use industry standards to define the quality of the merchandise. We will show quality ratings for our products in the product descriptions. See Quality and Condition Rating Definitions for details about how we define our product quality and condition. If we are not able to find replacement products for exchange, we will issue a full refund.

If you have a special situation, we will consider accepting a return subject to a restocking fee totaling 15% of your total return value adjusted for a market condition premium change. This market condition premium charge is calculated based on the change in the precious metal price from the date of your order to the date of the return of the merchandise.



Site Security
Q: Do you store my credit card number?
A: No, we do not store your credit card number. Your credit card number is only captured during check out when our system communicates with our payment processing gateway. For your protection, it is not stored in our system.

Q: Is it safe to order online from your site?
A: Yes. We use the industry standard encryption protocol known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), the high-grade AES-256 256 bit encryption, the highest encryption standard available, to keep your order information secure. When you are on checkout page using credit card payment method, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https". You will also see the locks on the lower-right of your brower window which tells you the checkout page is secured by SSL security protocol which provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection.

Q: What is McAfee Secure Certification?
A: Trust is something that is earned. We invest in trust and security. HACKER SAFE sites must earn it every day by passing the FBI/SANS Internet Security Test.

These tests are based on security information collected every 15 minutes from hundreds of private and government sources worldwide. ScanAlert's security auditing technology allows the HACKER SAFE mark to appear only when a web site's current security status meets the highest published government standards. ScanAlert controls the certification image; not us. You will not see the certification mark if the site does not pass Scanalert's daily security audits.
