Speak to a non-commission broker TODAY!
Since 1973, CMIGS has been at the forefront of the precious metals industry. We understand that investing in precious metals is more than a financial venture; it’s a promise to safeguard your wealth. Along with a legacy of experience, CMIGS is committed to safe and secure business practices.
We invite you to review the following information and encourage you to reach out with any questions. Your financial future deserves the assurance and expertise that CMIGS has proudly offered for over half a century.
Because gold and silver prices change by the minute, all orders must be placed by telephone to lock prices in the prevailing market.
For buy orders, payment must be remitted the same day the order is placed.
For sell orders, the items sold must be shipped the same day.
Prices cannot be altered due to market changes after prices have been locked.
During periods of high volatility and for large orders, we may require funds to be on deposit with CMI before prices can be locked in.
To maintain our low premiums, we require a minimum purchase on transactions. Silver transactions require 100 ounces or more, and gold transactions require three or more ounces. Items can be combined to reach our minimums. Free shipping is included in all transitions. There are some instances where these minimums may not apply—see the shipping and handling section or speak to your broker for more details.
CMIGS offers the following payment options:
We aim to dispatch the product once the funds have been successfully processed. Please note that checks, including cashier’s checks, may require additional processing time. Refer to the estimated shipping release times provided below. We highly recommend wire transfers for the swiftest payment processing and subsequent shipping commencement, as shipping initiates immediately upon fund confirmation. It is advisable to consult your bank beforehand for any prerequisites or special considerations.
Payment by bank wire transfer means that your order can be shipped generally within 24 to 48 hours. However, payment by wire transfer means allowance must be made to send the wire before the wire cut-off time, which is 6:30 pm ET, 5:30 CT, 4:30 MT, and 3:30 PT at most banks. Many banks will not initiate wires less than thirty minutes before the wire cut-off time.
Shipping times may vary due to weekends and holidays.
When CMIGS receives payment, an email with the expected date of shipment is sent to the buyer. A copy of the invoice will be included in the shipment.
When an order is shipped, CMIGS emails the buyer and provides a tracking number and the expected delivery date.
For orders less than three (3) ounces of gold, platinum, or palladium and 100 ounces of silver, there is a $30 shipping, handling, and insurance fee. Shipping and handling are free for quantities over those, or otherwise stated on our Gold Specials Page and Silver Specials Page.
CMIGS takes every precaution to ensure your precious metals are delivered safely and securely. With over 50 years of experience, we have refined our shipping practices to your preferred address. All packages are shipped in non-descript packaging, with our company name removed from the exterior. Your precious metals are packed tightly and securely to prevent any movement that could cause damage during transit. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to verify the accuracy of the product being shipped and received. We are transparent on all of our shipping, handling and insurance processes. Please let us know if you have any questions about our practices.
CMIGS is insured through Lloyds of London. Click here to see proof of insurance for shipping purposes.
Orders are shipped by Registered, insured U.S. Mail or FedEx “Hold at Location.”
Large orders are sometimes shipped via armored car.
When orders are shipped, CMIGS emails the buyer. A tracking number is also provided, enabling the buyer to verify the date the carrier expects delivery.
Some products shipped to Hawaii and Alaska may require additional costs.
Unexpected delays because of shipper issues, such as unexpected weather, are always possible. In any event, customers can always rest assured because we fully insure all packages until the intended receiver signs for them. Please note that CMIGS is not responsible for packages that are not picked up within five days of delivery.
CMIGS is committed to ensuring client confidentiality in every aspect of the customer transaction. With over 50 years of fine-tuning our security measures, we have found various ways to keep packages and client information safe and secure. For added security, we do not put clients’ names on invoices or include our business name on the return address, providing more investment privacy and protecting them from record theft. This became policy in the mid-1970s as CMIGS pioneered the bullion precious metals industry in Phoenix, AZ.
At CMI, we recognize the importance of keeping precious metals transactions as private as possible; therefore, we require no 8-page account agreement to sign and no credit card or social security numbers to secure your trades.
We are happy to accommodate text messaging if this is your preferred method of communication.
To opt in, simply send a text message directly to the broker you are working with. You may opt-out at any time by replying with “STOP.”
While we are available for text communication, all trade executions must be completed by speaking directly with one of our non-commissioned brokers. We do not process trades through text messaging.
Yes, CMIGS has a minimum order requirement of 100 ounces of silver or 3 ounces of gold and 5 ounces for Platinum or Palladium. You have the option to combine different metals to meet the minimum requirement. Your CMIGS broker will assist you in achieving these minimums while ensuring you get the lowest premiums possible.
As a nationwide, large-volume bullion dealer, our minimum purchase amount allows us to operate effectively, reducing costs and passing those savings on to you. Our minimums will enable us to maintain industry-leading low prices, ensuring you get the best value for your investment, and minimus help us achieve this goal. Our priority is always to find the best bullion product for you at the best price- not what’s profitable for us.
We stand behind the wealth preservation power of bullion and will never push customers toward high-premium and high-profit numismatics reserved for the novice collector. Our mission is to get the most metal into the hands of our customers for the fewest dollars. Evidence of this commitment can be seen in the fact that we have remained a small family-operated business for over 50 years and have earned top-rated reviews on Google and BBB. Our long-standing reputation and experience are built on trust, transparency, and dedication to helping all our clients make the best financial decisions to protect their wealth with precious metals.
At CMIGS, safeguarding your personal and financial information is our top priority. We have over 50 years of experience fine-tuning our internal security practices.
Secure Personal Data
We utilize enhanced internal security practices within our software to protect your personal data at all times. Our systems are designed with strict access controls to prevent unauthorized access to keep your sensitive information safe, and we will never sell your information to third parties.
Secure shipping practices
Our facility has state-of-the-art cameras and security to meticulously monitor the shipping and receiving process, guaranteeing accuracy in every order. All packages are shipped to you in discrete, unmarked packaging with no indication precious metals are enclosed. With our stellar track record in security receiving and sending packages, you can have peace of mind that your order is safe and secure. All our packages are insured by Lloyd’s of London, providing an extra layer of protection and confidence.
Enhanced Compliance Standards
We follow industry best practices and compliance standards to maintain the highest level of security. Whether transacting with us online, over the phone, or in person, your privacy is at the core of everything we do.
Bullion dealers rely on different sources or exchanges, which can lead to slight price variations. Several factors contribute to these variations, such as the frequency of updates, the specific price sources, calculation methods, future contracts, and market timing.
When investing in precious metals, comparing prices among various dealers is essential to ensure you get the best deal.

No, we do not disclose your transactions to the government or any third party. CMIGS adheres to all government and anti-laundering laws, and specific reporting may be required in extreme cases. However, in our 50 years in business, we have never been required to disclose client transaction information. We have transparent compliance and disclosure policies, and clients will be notified immediately if any disclosure is required.
Investors are responsible for reporting capital gains tax and other IRS reporting requirements related to bullion investments. CMIGS provides clients with the necessary documentation to follow tax and reporting regulations.
