Silver Gold Bull Review 2026: Premiums, Buy-Back, Delivery

Disclosure Partner links are marked. We may earn a commission if you use one. It costs you nothing extra and never changes our verdict. How we review

This Silver Gold Bull review checks premiums, buy-back, shipping and payment fees for buyers in Canada and the United States. The short answer: the company publishes live prices and a lot of the rules, but the Canada and US pages do not agree on shipping, and storage fees are not written out as a schedule. Read the page for your own country on the day you pay.

What is Silver Gold Bull?

Silver Gold Bull is an online dealer in physical precious metals, with a Canada site and a US site under the same brand.

The Canada terms and conditions name the company Silver Gold Bull, Inc. They cover both sides of the trade: the company selling bullion to you, and the company buying bullion from you. The Canada contact page lists the corporate office at 888 3rd Street SW, 10th Floor, West Tower, Calgary, AB T2P 5C5, Canada. It says the office is by appointment only, and it says not to send payments there. The phone on that page is (877) 646-5303, with a local line +1 403 668 8648, and the page marks the phone line as 24/7. The emails listed are sales@silvergoldbull.com, support@silvergoldbull.com, payment@silvergoldbull.com and francais@silvergoldbull.com.

The US home page, checked on 10 November 2026, presents gold, silver, platinum, collectibles and jewelry, plus links for storage, an IRA page and a sell-to-us page. The about page says products come from mints, refineries and other suppliers, and it names the Royal Canadian Mint among them. It also says prices update every minute while the market is open, and that the market data comes from Xignite.

We did not open an account, place an order or visit the Calgary office. Everything below is what those public pages said on 10 November 2026, with the dates the pages themselves print where they print one. Third-party review scores and customer counts are left out on purpose. A score you did not measure is not a fact.

Where does Silver Gold Bull ship and store?

It sells for delivery in Canada and the United States, and the about page says customers outside North America can order secure storage only, not home delivery.

That split matters before you start a checkout. If you live in Canada, use the Canada site and the Canada knowledge base. If you live in the United States, use the US shipping page. If you live somewhere else, the about page said, when we read it, that physical delivery was not being offered and that storage orders were. Ask sales@silvergoldbull.com before you assume a parcel can be sent to your country. The Canada terms also say that customs, import duty and any local tax on a delivery abroad are the buyer's cost, not the company's.

The same about page says the firm can store metal in audited, allocated and segregated depositories, and that you can ask for a quote to sell bullion back. Storage and buy-back each have their own section below, because the fee and the quote are not on the about page.

For the metal itself, the usual choice is still bars or coins. We set that choice out in Gold bars vs gold coins, and the one-ounce coins dealers actually stock are in Best gold coins to buy. Silver needs more space than gold for the same sum of money, which we cover in Gold vs silver. Neither page is a reason to buy. They are there so the product type is chosen before the dealer is.

How do you measure the premium over spot?

You measure it yourself, on the day you order, by comparing their live product price with the spot price.

Spot is the wholesale price of the metal, quoted per troy ounce. A bar or a coin costs more than spot. That gap is the premium. It pays for minting, distribution and the dealer's margin. Silver Gold Bull's own deals page says the same thing in plain words: spot is what the metal is worth by the ounce, and the premium is the amount charged over spot. It also says you can look up the gold price on their site through the day.

Do not stop at their number. A dealer price and the spot price are different things, even when a page says you are buying at a live market rate. How that gap is built, without a sticker copied from a shop, is in Gold spot price vs retail. Their about page says prices update every minute during market hours, using data from Xignite. That tells you the sticker moves. It does not tell you how far the sticker sits above spot.

Use this check, and write the figures down:

1. Open the exact product you want. Note the weight, the purity and the mint or refiner.
2. Choose the payment method you will really use. On the Canada site the checkout total is not the same for every method, because some methods are marked with a discount and some are not.
3. Add the shipping line for your country. A premium that ignores a flat shipping fee is incomplete on a small order.
4. Read the spot price for the same metal on Baroq Markets. Divide the metal price by the number of ounces, subtract spot, and divide that gap by spot. That percentage is the premium.
5. Open the same product at two other dealers, the same day, on the same coin. Write their premiums next to this one.

We are not printing a product price or a sample premium in this review. Those figures move while a page is being written, and a stale number would be a false one. The steps above are the check. If you want the longer version of how premiums, bars and storage fit together, start with How to buy physical gold.

A larger bar usually carries a smaller premium per ounce than a small coin, because the making cost is spread over more metal. That is a feature of minted products in general, not a number we measured on their site. Confirm it on the two products you are actually comparing.

How does buy-back work if you sell it back?

You can sell metal back, and the price is the buy-back rate they set at that moment, not the price you paid.

The Canada terms say Silver Gold Bull sets both the sale price and the buy-back price. They also say market prices can move faster than the website updates, and that an offer to sell is locked by telephone, or on the website if you hold what they call an Enhanced Account. Once you place the transaction, the terms say it is binding. You do not get to cancel it later because the price moved.

The practical path is the Canada sell guide, last updated on 11 June 2025, at the knowledge-base article "Selling Precious Metals with Silver Gold Bull". It describes eight steps:

1. Open the Sell to Us page.
2. Add metal you hold yourself, including metal bought elsewhere, or metal already in their storage. If a product is not in the gallery, the guide says to call (877) 646-5303 or email sell@silvergoldbull.com.
3. Review the sell cart. It shows the items, the quantities and a live quote, plus an estimate of shipping.
4. Choose shipping. The guide says insured shipping is free on sales over $5,000, a flat $50 on sales under $5,000, and that a secure drop-off at their Calgary vault is available on sales over $100,000.
5. Choose how you want to be paid. The guide lists a wallet balance in your account, a direct deposit (ACH), or a wire for large or international sales.
6. They verify weight and authenticity when the parcel arrives. Metal already stored at what they call SGB Canada Central is described as already verified.
7. The guide says payment follows within one business day after verification, by the method you chose.
8. You can follow shipment, verification and payment in the account.

That guide and the Canada terms do not describe the same cash-out. The terms still say that standard payment for metal you sell them is a cheque, mailed within two business days of receipt, and that an overnight cheque costs an extra $35. They also say you ship within two business days (five for an in-person delivery), that the parcel must arrive within ten business days, and that you pay the shipping unless you use their label, in which case the cost can come off the proceeds. If the two documents disagree on the day you sell, ask which one the checkout is using, and keep the confirmation email.

Two costs sit on top of the quote. First, the buy-back rate is below the price a new buyer pays the same day. The gap between those two numbers is the real round-trip cost, and it is wider on small coins than on large bars. Ask for both numbers before you order, not after. Second, the Canada terms let them liquidate a purchase you do not pay for. If you are selling metal to them and you miss the delivery window, they describe an involuntary close on the 11th business day, a $50 cancellation fee, and a market difference tied to the London fix. Read that section before you lock a sale. The word on their sell cart is their quote. It is not a promise that the quote survives a late parcel.

Returns of a purchase you simply do not want are a third path, and a narrower one. The Canada terms say you must contact support@silvergoldbull.com within two business days of delivery. Items must be in the original packaging and condition. You pay return shipping and insurance, and any market loss. Payment charges from the original order are not given back. A refund to a credit card or through PayPal is charged a 4% restocking fee.

What do shipping, insurance and delivery cost?

Insured, tracked, signature delivery is the rule on both sites, and the price of that delivery is not the same rule.

Checked on 10 November 2026, three public pages give three different shipping lines:

Those rows are the point of this section. A reader who remembers only "free over $199" will misread a Canada order under $999. A reader who remembers only the January 2026 Canada FAQ will misread a US order. Use the page that matches the site you are paying on, and screenshot it with the order confirmation.

A few rules show up on more than one page, and they are worth treating as firm:

• Someone has to sign. The US page says a standing instruction to leave parcels without a signature voids cover. The Canada FAQ says a missed delivery has a short pickup window before cover ends.
• Packaging is described as anonymous on the US shipping page: no statement of the contents or the value on the label. That is discretion, not insurance. Insurance is the separate line.
• The Canada terms say you must tell them if a shipment is disrupted for more than 48 hours past the expected delivery date, and that refusing to help with a claim can void cover. The US page uses a 24-hour notice for damage or tampering. Follow the shorter of the two if you are unsure, and write to support the same day.
• Payment has to clear before the packing clock starts. The Canada terms say you submit payment within three business days of the order and that they receive it within eight. A late payment is not a free option. The terms say the order can be liquidated, and that you still owe the difference if the metal is worth less than the price you agreed.

The US shipping page also says tracking is emailed when the parcel leaves, and that the same number is in your account. That is the right habit: keep the tracking mail until the signed delivery is in your hands and you have checked the contents.

What are the storage choices and fees?

Allocated storage is described on the site, and a dollar fee is not.

The Canada knowledge base answers "What does it mean that storage is fully allocated?" in one sentence: the exact type of product you bought is stored in the vault under your name, with physical metal behind it. That answer was last updated on 28 June 2021. The about page, edited more recently, still says storage is in audited, allocated and segregated depositories. "Allocated" here means specific metal in your name, as opposed to a general claim on a pool. The 2021 answer is the definition they publish. It is not an audit.

The fee answer is thinner. "How much does it cost to use secure storage?", last updated 1 November 2021, says fees vary with the value of the holdings and the location, and it tells you to call. It does not print a percent, a minimum or a billing period. The phone number in that old answer is not the number on the current contact page, so call the number on the contact page, or ask in the account, and write down the quote with the date. A storage fee from 2021 is not a price.

What to ask before you leave metal there:

• Is the metal allocated and segregated, and in whose name?
• Which depository, and in which country?
• Who is the insurer, and what is excluded?
• Is the fee a percent of value, a fee per ounce, or both, and when is it billed?
• How do you sell or take delivery later, and what does that shipment cost?
• What happens if you stop paying the fee?

The Canada site also has a page for registered plans. It says physical gold and silver can be held in an RRSP, LIRA, TFSA, RESP, LIF or RRIF, in the account name, and it names Brinks Canada and Questrade as insurers, with a further mention of CIPF. That is their description, not a ruling on what CIPF covers. Read the plan paperwork and ask the trustee what is actually insured before you move registered money. The US home page links to a separate IRA page. This review did not find a fee schedule there either, so treat an IRA the same way: get the custodian, the depository and the fee in writing.

Home storage and a bank box are the other two choices, and they are yours, not theirs. A home safe has no dealer fee and no dealer insurance. A bank box is often uninsured for the contents. We walk through those trade-offs in How to buy physical gold. Pick the storage before you pick the bar size. A large silver order that will not fit in the safe you already have is a storage decision, not a product decision.

Which payments get a discount, and which do not?

On the Canada payment page, some methods are marked with a cash discount and some are marked with none. The page also says the cash discount is already included in the product prices shown.

Checked on 10 November 2026 at the Canada page "Ways to Pay". Send payment within three business days. Card and PayPal checkout in USD or CAD, or those options may not appear.

Read the discount column as a label on their page, then confirm it in your own checkout. Because they also say the cash discount is already in the prices on the site, the safe test is to put the same product in the cart twice, once with a bank method and once with a card, and compare the grand totals. Do not assume a 4% cut off a number you have not seen.

Details that change the real cost:

• Cards. Visa, Visa Debit in CAD only, MasterCard, MasterCard Debit in CAD and USD, Discover and UnionPay, with 3-D Secure. The shipping address has to match the address on the card. Prepaid cards and gift cards are not supported. American Express is not accepted. Your own card limit still applies, and your card issuer may add a conversion charge. They may ask for photo ID.
• PayPal. The address has to be confirmed and the payment has to be eligible. An ineligible payment is sent back and the order is cancelled. Clearing is two or more business days.
• Bill payment and Interac. The order has to be in Canadian dollars. The billing address has to match the bank. For bill payment, the payee name is shown as "Silver Gold Bull" or "SILVER GOLD BULL INC.", and the account number is on the order confirmation. For Interac, the confirmation email carries the payment steps, including auto-deposit. If your daily Interac limit is too low, raise it or split the payment, or use bill payment. If no confirmation arrives within two business days, the page says to ask your bank whether the transfer is on hold. The page also says a late Interac payment can lead to a market-loss charge.
• Wire. Instructions are in the order confirmation, not on the public page, so this review does not repeat account numbers. Their warning is worth keeping: a direct deposit or a branch transfer can sit on hold for 60 days or more before they ship, and a bank may suggest that instead of a wire. Use an actual wire if the order depends on the one-day clear they print for wires.
• Cheque. They accept CAD and USD cheques, drafts and money orders from Canadian or US institutions only, when the option is on. The page says cheques must be postmarked within three business days and received within eight. When we checked, cheque payments were temporarily switched off because of a Canada Post strike, and the page pointed people to bill payment instead. Confirm that line on the day you order. It may be back, or it may still be off.
• Crypto. The page lists Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Wrapped Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin and the stablecoins GUSD, USDC, USDP, DAI and BUSD. You have 15 minutes to pay, because the exchange rate moves. BitPay may ask for ID on orders over $3,000. They also say larger orders can require photo ID and an address check. Include network fees in what you send. They say completed crypto payments often clear straight into the shipping queue, and that some are reviewed by hand.

The Canada terms add currencies the payment page does not emphasise: US dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds, Australian dollars or euros, as the purchase order indicates. They also add a $25 administration charge if a payment is NSF or is reversed. And they are blunt about delay: contact support as soon as a payment is late, or the order can be liquidated under the section on involuntary liquidation. If the metal has fallen, you can still owe the gap. If you have paid one order and not another, they say they may hold the paid order until everything is paid.

None of these discounts is a reason to buy metal you did not already plan to hold. A 4% label on a wire does not tell you whether the premium that day is wide or tight. Run the spot comparison in the premium section after you have chosen the method.

What should a Silver Gold Bull review decide?

It should decide whether the live premium, the buy-back gap and the shipping rule for your country are acceptable on the day you pay. The brand name does not decide that.

Use this list in order:

1. Check spot for the metal on Baroq Markets.
2. Open the same product on the Canada or US site, in the currency you will pay, and note the grand total for the payment method you will use.
3. Work out the premium per ounce, then do the same at a second dealer.
4. Read the buy-back quote for that product the same day. The gap between the two quotes is the cost of changing your mind.
5. Read the shipping page for your country, including the signature rule and what happens if you miss the courier.
6. If the metal will not live at home, get the storage fee, the depository and the insurance in writing. Do not rely on the 2021 fee answer.
7. Keep the invoice, the payment confirmation and the tracking mail. You will need them to sell, to claim, or to show what you paid.

If you want Baroq's own market pages and the research desk on a paid plan, the next step on this site is See plans. That page is Baroq's pricing. It is not a bullion checkout, and it does not change the dealer comparison above.
