Good company

I have purchased from Chards on several occasions, and I have always received excellent service. On this occasion, I placed an order, but I was informed that I could expect a 9-day delay in receiving by oder, due to a stock issue. However, when I informed Derek from customer service that I was not prepared to wait 9 days for my order, he arranged for a similar product to be dispatched on the day that I made contact. Once my order arrived, I was very pleased with the condition of all the items that I ordered. Aside from the unfortunate delay, which was promptly resolved by Derek, I was pleased with the efficient service that I received. If anyone from Chards is reading this review, please pass this message on to Derek and tell him that I am most grateful for his assistance. Thank you.

Seamless KYC, Flawless Gold, and Excellent Service!

I recently made a purchase from Chards and had to complete the KYC process. My order was placed on hold while I uploaded the necessary documents, but the process was seamless and easy. They provided useful links, allowing me to upload photos of my passport and driving licence without any hassle. When my Minty 1 oz Gold Britannia arrived, it was absolutely flawless, just as expected from Chards. Their commitment to quality and customer service is second to none. I also really enjoy their YouTube videos, which are both informative and engaging. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do, and I’m glad to be a loyal customer. Looking forward to my next purchase!
