The difference is the markup

Most dealers profit on the spread. We don't.

The precious-metals industry is famous for hidden premiums and mystery fees. At Cost Metals was built to do the opposite — one honest membership, then metal at cost.

Buying from a typical dealer

  • Retail markups baked into every quoted price
  • Premiums that widen when you're not watching
  • Fees revealed at checkout, not before
  • Minimum orders and upsell pressure
  • Insurance and tracking cost extra

Buying as an ACM member

  • Cost-plus pricing shown live on every item
  • Member price and retail price side by side — always
  • No hidden fees, ever — transparency by design
  • Order as little or as much as you want
  • Insurance & tracking included on every order

Good to know

Questions, answered

How much do members actually save?

On average 7–10% versus the largest dealers, and up to ~12% on some items. Because pricing is cost-plus and shown live, you see the exact member and retail price on every product before you buy.

Does the membership pay for itself?

For most buyers, yes — often on the very first order. The savings on a single meaningful purchase typically exceed the membership fee.

Are there minimums or maximums?

None. Buy a single fractional round or a 1,000 oz bar. There are no minimum or maximum order restrictions.

Is shipping insured?

Yes — insurance is included on all orders, and every order ships with tracking via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Rates range from $6.38 to $25, with free shipping on qualifying larger orders.

How do I pay?

Credit or debit (+3.99%), ACH (0.97%), or bank wire ($15). You choose the method that works best for you.

Is this an investment recommendation?

No. At Cost Metals provides access to physical precious metals at cost-plus pricing. Metals may not be suitable for every investor — consider your own situation and seek financial advice where appropriate.
