Bought a Monster Box of Silver last August 2015 and never received it despite phone calls and No Refund either. They strung me along with promises until after their Bankruptcy filing. Out $7+K. Not happy. Do not use even though they still have a website presence. Very Dishonest.
I placed an order with Northwest Territitorial Mint on 4-09-2016. I wanted some silver bars (1oz) and some gold (6grams) for $560.00 usd. When I placed the order I use the internet. When I got to the page I looked for any complaints on the same page where there internet address was, and did not see any. (Today if you go to the same page, that is all you wil find). They gave me no indication that they would no honor the order. I recieved a e-mail recipt. After 24hrs after I did not recieve a comformation e-mail, I called and spoke to a represenitive and that is when I was told they (NWM) was in bankrupucy. Buyer be ware of scams like this one.
Ordered 200 ounces of Silver in July 2015 asked for refund on March 30th 2016 after excuses for 6 months on why they couldn't delvier... They had 3 guards with guns in building and told me they were not conducting any business anymore and that my money was lost..
I will be contacting an attorney... They still have their web sight up and are taking peoples money..
Ordered Silver from Northwest Territory Mint back in July was to receive it by Oct. 19, 2015. After nothing I contacted them and they said it was delayed because on high demand s. November came and still not contact, called and was told they were working on July. Now we are at Christmas and they are saying it is 2-5 weeks out. They cashed my checks of over $10,000 and I have nothing to show for it. This company may be a scam. All letters seem like form letters.
On September 15, 2015, found Northwest Terrorital Mint advertisement on the internet for the sale of silver one ounce rounds: stagecoach design. The price was more than fare. I had to wait 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. I paid over $5,100 for 390 one ounce rounds by bank certified check. The delivery date, at the latest, was to be November 15, 2015.
On November2, 2015, I contacted NWTM to make sure my delivery date was firm. I was told that there could be delays because of the large orders NWTM was filling. November 15, 2015 came and went and no delivery of the silver coins. I began to send emails every day to NWTM demanding to know when my coins would be delivered. I got the ususal response: large delivery volumes causing delays.
On November 18, 2015, Samatha Blizard, of NWTM, informs me of the clause in our agreement of a specific 30 day delay for delivery. I can now chose to sell my coins at the current price to NWTM. Or after the 30 day delay, I will get my money back in full. So, this is a scam by NWTM to use my money for 3 months without causing them a dime.
I have been recently searching the internet regarding complaints against NWTM. I found many other stories just like mind. Worse is that some of these individuals haven't receive a dime back after months pasted the 30 day delay time.
NWTM is probably have financial problems, much like several other precious metal dealers in the past, and devised this legal scam to acquire large sums of money from innocent buyers for months with costing them a dime.
I intend to wait my time and then take legal action against NWTM. Mean while I will keep posting the scam NWTM is operating.
Northwest Territorial Mint is guilty of several crimes.
1. Deceptive sales practices
2. They do not deliver what they promise.
3. Customer Service is non-existant.
One thing that threw up some red flags in our mind was reading their profile on GoldDealerReviews.com where the company has 109 customer reviews with an average rating of 1.9 stars out of 5. Some customers said that it took 4 months to get their order while others have said that it is a scam.

The BBB has Received over 1400 complaints against this company. This company is not a BBB member!
Avoid like the plague...............................
My name is Don R Little; this EMAIL is in regards to a purchase that I made with your company Northwest Territorial Mint July 23, 2015 order # 25295 for 5 ten ounce bars of silver on the internet at the cost of (cashers check) $776.50. Your company received the check on July 27, 2015 and gave me a shipping date of October 9, 2015, in which I was shocked how long you’re taking to fill my order, if I was to walk into your retail store, I could pick the ten ounce bars up at once, then why can’t you send my order once the cashers check cleared (most metal businesses practice this format)?
Your web site is put together very good and I was impressed, causing me to trust you without checking. Your website says you are a member of BBB but you’re not, you have 115 complaints in which 83 for holding back their delivery. Had I have taken the time to research you business practices; you would not have my business and I am very disappointed with your company.
I am going to go along with your contract, because the way it’s written in words (that are almost fraud) that you can do whatever you want to do with my silver. On the other hand on October 9, 2015 I expect for you to mail my 5- 10 ounce bars, and email a tracking number to me, if not, these are the people that will be contacted with all documents.
NOTE I am a senior citizen who spent two years in Vietnam. I am probably one of the nicest guys around but if try to pull a scam on me my ugly self shows. I have nothing else to do, by the way my brother lives about 2 miles away from your Federal Way address. I know I can not stop your company but it surely won’t help!
For a second time, NWTM was unable to meet their delivery deadline, and since the silver bars we ordered had declined in value, we opted for a refund. The first time through this process, we received our refund within a few days. This time around it's another 4 TO 6 WEEKS to process a simple refund. So in other words, NWTM had free use of our money from June15, 2015 to September (3.5 months) and now requires an additional month and a half to process the refund. There was nothing about the refund wait time in their original product offering. Want to tie up some working capital for FIVE MONTHS, give those jokers a call. The refund processing time is only slightly shorter than the time required to mint and send the silver. UNACCEPTABLE! ...What can one do? File reports like this and warn others to avoid NWTM!
