Another straight forward purchase from GA. After many years dealing with a very well known bullion dealer in England, I’ve now put my faith in GA. Top company.

Excellent place for people who are not expert in the field

I'm not an expert in precious metals trading, so I came here 6 years ago and opened an account. It's super easy to buy items, keep them stored, see why they're priced in one way, lots of education tools, never had an issue.

The user experience is jurassic

The user experience is jurassic, i want to see my assets in storage, the value changes and the unrealized gains or losses like you see on any modern trading crypto exchange. Make it sleek and engaging. Otherwise Goldavenue is very good when it comes to its products and its storage.

Rigid, not customer-oriented service

If I make an order, but change it so that I will keep the gold in yoir facilities instead of delivery and insurance cost, you require me to make payment also for those.

I paid the gold purchase after cancelling delivery, but this was not ok for them. First the answer was that they will cancel the transaction, and I need to make new purchase, probably because the price of the gold was already increased. I needed separately to pay delivery and request refund to confirm my purchase.

They think this flexible and excellent customer service.

Let me predict that they will reply that they have precise instructions and if I don't follow them, it's always my fault and it's not their job to be flexible to fix the situation

Dear Kimmo,

We pride ourselves in being transparent about our price policy, and by clicking on the price of each product, we provide a transparent breakdown of the total price (Metal price + Premium + VAT).

Premium costs, which are charged by all precious metals retailers, are also explained as covering our production and operational costs as well as our margin.

When placing your order, you are free to choose either storage (without VAT and delivery insurance) or delivery (paying delivery-associated fees).

Make sure you do the right choice when placing the order.

After your contact and discussion with our customer service, as requested, your delivery was exceptionnally cancelled and products stored.
Regards.

Delivered as promised

Their website is nice and polished and they delivered as advertised. But the way they calculate their premiums % is misleading (as a % of total value instead of base value). At least they also show the absolute amounts, which allows you to calculate the real premiums. But I will buy there again.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.

Your point about showing absolute amounts is important, and we’re happy it helped you understand the real premiums. We will work on making the % cost clearer too.

Best regards,
Gold Avenue Team

A third-party official statement needed

Their confirmation that our bought asset is placed in their Vault in Switzerland is very important, but it should be accompanied by a statement from a third-party official state authority.

DESPERATE: Locked out for 45+ days. Is this another JWR/China Gold Scandal?

I am writing this out of absolute desperation and fear. I have been a customer of Gold Avenue for some time, but since December 20, 2025, I have been completely locked out of my account. I cannot access the website ("Access Forbidden") or the mobile app.
For over six weeks, I have been trapped in an endless loop with their support team.
First, they told me it was a "temporary security flag" (Dec 23).
Then, they denied that flag ever existed (Jan 15).
They blamed my location, so I traveled to tried from another country to log in—still blocked.
They asked for screenshots, videos, new devices, and different browsers. I provided ALL of them.
The last communication I received was on January 29, 2026, promising an update from IT. Since then? Silence.
I am terrified because this silence feels exactly like the recent JWR (Jieworui) scandal in China, where a trading platform collapsed, and users were left unable to redeem billions in funds. I have cash and precious metals sitting in my wallet that I cannot touch.
Gold Avenue, are you insolvent? Do you actually have my gold? Why are you blocking a verified user for 45 days and refusing to give a straight answer?
This is not just a "technical issue" anymore; it feels like a liquidity trap. If you are a legitimate company, UNBLOCK my account immediately.

Dear Ahmed,

The account is not blocked as indicated.
Your restrictive location, as indicated on our last exchanges, seems to be the reason you cannot log in into our Swiss app/site.
Our team is still working on that.
Please accept our apologies.
