Don't know about the phone numbers but ABC Bullion is owned by Pallion
https://www.pallion.com/brands/ ABC Bullion does not sell unallocated only allocated or minted.
We and other clients received an email from them recently assuring us that their bullion supplies were not being impacted and they could supply.
About 3 weeks ago,
When I called the ABC - Melbourne office and they were willing to take an order to 'supply', then I asked when it would arrive "please check stocks".
The woman came back sheepish and told me they were out of stock with no time frame for a few weeks, however I could still order it from her...
I told her I was chasing Perth Mint for silver also and they had none, then I asked if they were attached to Perth Mint, I was told 'yes'.
ABC woman told me they get their bars cast by PerthMint and stamped by PerthMint with their ABC stamp, commercial reality is that it is likely possibly to be true
and it is not necessarily a bad thing either.
Maybe I misunderstood somethings she said, or she misunderstood what i asked of her...
By the way they also own ABC Bullion - all phone numbers point to Perthmint but answered as ABC Bullion, I think Melb branch answer their Vic number.
I did look up your link and have a better understanding now, thank you.
I am not arguing anything just putting up what I experienced.
Online to PerthMint right now, in my account looking at buying Silver bars - only '
reservable bars' - 1000oz, or Pool allocated / Unallocated
NO 'allocated' bars, any size - but you can buy '1000oz reservable bars'.... hmmm :/ (sounds a little like unallocated 1000oz bars to me)
ABC, I just called Melbourne and apparently now they have some 1kg silver bars in stock, I was transferred to Sydney to be quoted cost of delivery of
2x 1kg bars silver ABC Bullion + delivery @ $50 including insurance via TNT to Adelaide.
So maybe they do have stock, but I would be waiting up to 2 weeks for the delivery.
:/
We really are in a mixed up World currently.... once the kids are home, I'm having a glass of wine
