Trustpilot shows only two reviews on an unclaimed profile, and its displayed score does not match them, so we do not show a rating.
EditorThe site publishes no street address. Its only stated location is a vault facility in Victoria. Ask for pricing in writing, since the site asks you to call for spot prices.
How we list dealers
Cities. Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Victoria, Nanaimo, Kelowna and Kamloops. Abbotsford has no dealer based in the city that we could verify. Dealers that ship to British Columbia from outside these cities are on our Online page.
Verification. Every dealer was checked against its own website. Addresses and phone numbers come from the dealer's site, or are marked as taken from a third-party list.
Fees. We only show fees a dealer states publicly. "Not published" means the dealer posts no figure, so ask for a written quote on both the buy price and the sell price before you commit.
Ratings. We show a rating only when we read it on a third-party page, and every rating here is from Trustpilot. Dealers without one have no rating we could confirm. Ratings based on fewer than 10 reviews carry a low-sample flag. Review summaries are our own paraphrase of what reviewers wrote, not endorsements.
Coverage. Branches that share an owner are listed once per city. Businesses whose sites we could not verify are left out.
Editorial notes. Short, factual points to check before you visit or order. They are not accusations and not recommendations.
