Was simply investigating potential fraud claim by our credit card company. The Bradford Exchange representative was very helpful and I have no issue with that company.

See above reason. No complaint was ever filed against this company, so I have nothing further to add.

User's recommendation: None.

Suspected fraudulent purchase

Representative checked for any outstanding or recent orders and, finding none, advised us to proceed with disputing the credit card charge. She was very helpful.

False Advertising

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Ads claim uncirculated coins, but these coins are circulated and have dings.
  • - Cancellation is difficult and they do not respond.

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

This company is a scam

My husband gets these catalogs and orders from them. Double Billing and other tactics. He has dementia and I no longer want them sending there over priced crap of a catalog to my home.

User's recommendation: NEVER USE THIS COMPANY OR CATALOG.

  • - Return won't be processed without my mom.
  • - Return label used her address, not mine.
  • - They promised a refund, but service was robotic.

I have made multiple phone calls to return a gift that I received from my mom. They would not process the return without speaking to her.

She called and they sent a return label with her address on it and not mine. I do not live anywhere near her and cannot return the item with USPS with her address, not mine. They told her to send it anyway and they would sent her a refund check. They are like talking to robots and are trained to deflect from the problem.

It is obvious that they do not want you to return anything, for any reason. They are preying on the elderly and the fact that they do not understand how to resolve issues online. I have tried to get them to have someone from the actual company to contact me, but they refuse to do that. So, basically I am stuck with the wrong item and a major issue to deal with for my birthday.

This company is nothing but a scam. Please stay away!!!

User's recommendation: RUN!! Do not order from the scam company

Overcharged

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

I ordered checks, then was subsequently charged $16.95 a month for 9 months afterwards for a so called "Rewards Program" I did not enroll in or approve. So far I have been charged $152.55 total.

They say they will credit me back $101.70 of it only.

Very rude person on the phone. ???

User's recommendation: Do not order from them, I sure won't

Multible billings for one order

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Prepaid for one coin; delivery took a month and was satisfactory.
  • - Statement shows three charges for one coin; requesting credits for two duplicates.
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.

Loss:
$122
Cons:
  • Multiple charges for one order

User's recommendation: Customer beware!

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.

Do you still carry the Thomas Kinkade holiday sparkle fiber optic Christmas tree

You can hire people that speak English so that your customer can understand what they're getting and the price. Also, you need to have a sales person who answers the phone for customer service not speak 100 miles a minute on top of the accent it's very difficult to understand what they are saying... This was not a pleasant experience for me!!

User's recommendation: Companies should hire people that speak English so that your customer can understand what they're getting and the price so I told her I was not interested I'll go to the website. But you need to get people that speak English I don't speak 100 miles a minute. Thank you
