Despite the plethora of similar titles, this isn't a post promoting silver, or the price of silver, or the fuckery in the silver market, etc. This is a post about getting delivery of your silver if you buy it.

On Jan 17th I bought some silver from JMBullion.com. Whenever I buy PM, I am always afraid that at some point it will become impossible to actually get delivery of the purchase: that the dealers, who are all ultimately controlled by the Monopoly, will "take the money and run." Or in the best case, the money will be refunded.

As of today, on Jan 29th 2026, after two full weeks without nary a word, and despite the fact that the silver has gained 30%+ between buying the purchase and sending it, they finally sent my silver purchase. I haven't actually received it yet, but Fedex reports having it, and that strongly suggests I will probably get it soon.

So for any of you who worry "it's too late," it's not too late. You can trust your purchase.

Until you can't.
