Multible billings for one order

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Oct 02, 2025

I tried emails and phone calls at least ten times . None were successful until I chose the number for "placing an order".

I was then forwarded to an extension that never answered.

So today, I explained my triple billing to my credit card company who investigated and found that Bradford Exchange had added two more charges, making a total of 5 charges for one purchase. I have been fully credited and Bradford Exchange is now on the blacklist with Chase Card.

Original review Sep 30, 2025

I ordered a coin in July, prepaid for it, and finally received it a month later. All was satisfactory at that time.

Then I received my credit card statement the following month and found that you also charged me the same amount two more times.

That is three charges for one coin.

NO WAY!

Dates: July 31 $60.97; Aug 20 $60.97; Sept 5 $60.97

Three charges for one order! Just issue a credit for two charges and I will not report to the BBB.

False Advertising

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They say, brilliant uncirculated coins in all their ads. These are definitely not uncirculated coins.

Dings and scratches all over them. Most definitely circulated coins. Do not believe these people for one minute.

Trying to cancel your subscriptions is next to impossible. Once they know you want to end, they will not respond to you!

Pros:
  • Nobe

Preferred solution: Canceled subscriptions

User's recommendation: Dont do it. False advertisement. Coins are definitely not uncirculated. Rip off

2nd try a failure

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Got thru the first time and was told a mailing label was going to be sent to me. I never got it so I asked one to be mailed.

Also never got that one after waiting over a week. So tried calling back and after a couple of minutes was asked if I preferred to keep holding or be called when the lines cleared, press one. I did but no one called.

I just want a mailing label to return a product I did not want. BTW, my phone IDs spam calls or unknown numbers.

Lies and deceptive practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Lies and deceptive practices. Gives an option for payments, and then they tell you your item shipped.

When it never arrives, but your bank has been charged the 1st payment, I called and was told I didn't 'qualify' for payments and I had to pay the full amount upfront before they ship it. They already charged me the first installment! No refund, no explanation.

Had to close my card and have my bank issue a new one. Don't order from them!
