For those who are cautious about new companies, no need to worry. I’ve already received an order from them and am happy with their service.

They take PayPal for added security.
I didn't find any reviews for this dealer exept this one http://trustedpmdealers.com/dealers/the-bullion-people and it seems to be not a good one... Did you make your order online?

Interesting. I'm wondering if that negative review is from a competitor, since it is not a verified purchase.

Yes, I ordered online. They shipped my order quickly and well packed...no problems.

Not for me.
Agreed. I check companies out at BBB and then make my decision. If a company offers PayPal or CC payment then I will buy.

I try to find the best deals because the cheaper the silver, the more I can add to my stack.

I never use any resource as a guide to where I should buy and no one should too! It's just an informational website where I found some useful reviews and, by the way, I can leave a review there too, because I have some experience I can share with people, just as well as all of stackers have. Same at https://ca.trustpilot.com or https://www.yelp.ca which I also believe have reliable reviews too. Sure, people share subjective points of view, but isn't it the purpose of such informational websites?
I'd say, never let anyone guide you and think with your own head, using information you get from different points of view, the more opposite they appear to be the better to see the whole image.
I'm just sharing what I found, thought it could be useful and informative, if it's not - no problem. Maybe others would make use of it somehow.

Are we? I just shared a resource with information which might be useful to someone, as well as other reviews I found there. It's a place where people like you and I can leave their reviews and share their experience. https://ca.trustpilot.com and https://www.yelp.ca/ have same goals - help people build their own point of view based on other people's experience. Of course it's not 100% objective, as different people come accross different purchasing experience.
I'd never use any resource as a guide or believe someone who calls himself "trusted", because I have my own brains to think.

One would assume that you see some value in the website if you linked it. If I am mistaken, then I apologize.

The difficulty to me is that anyone can post any review they want, positive or negative. As for the "trusted" site, we don't know if it is independent or affiliated with a certain metals dealer, which would not surprise me. It's clear from your last post that you also realize this and are taking everything with a grain of salt as well, so that's good. Didn't mean to come off rudely, I just don't want to see people get screwed buying from a sketchy company because they read a review on a random website. Sometimes its better to pay a bit more to know your product is going to arrive.

Absolutely agree with you. That's why I'm saying that it's always better to check information everywhere it is possible before the payment is completed :)

Everytime a shill account speaks there is a silence afterwards because the natural order of conversation is thrown off course.

Good price but I can't stomach the milk spots anymore. For that reason I only got a couple Superman. No more RCM Bullion for me until that issue is fixed.

I know what you mean. I hate them too, but they keep selling them, regardless, so I doubt they'll ever fix the problem.

A lot of mints have gotten sloppy with bullion now, including the Royal Mint and the U.S. Mint with their bullion 5 oz ATB coins.

Even the 2016 Congo Lion coins (mintage 50k) have developed milk spots, though they aren't as noticeable as RCM bullion. I can handle those.

An even better deal is the Congo Gorilla coin at BP:

+1. I also stop buying RCM bullion. I still think the Congo coin looks ugly
