Current CRM purchase procedure
Updated October 4, 2026. Individuals and companies may submit personal or company details, contact information, quantity, preferred purity, and a nominated refinery or delivery address. After acceptance of the purchase procedure, CRM sends an FCO for review and signature. The FCO and SPA confirm the order terms.
Orders of 5 kg and above require a 10% deposit of the agreed purchase value before shipment. The deposit is part of the purchase price and is credited against the final balance. After receipt, CRM arranges export documentation and transportation to the nominated refinery or agreed address.
For refinery deliveries, the final balance is due within 24 hours of assay confirmation, based on the agreed price and confirmed weight and purity, less the deposit. Client-address testing, acceptance and payment timing are stated in the FCO and SPA. Ownership transfers after final payment is received.
Testing purchases from 100 g to 4 kg are available in 23K or 24K. Prices, payment and delivery terms are confirmed separately before ordering. The bulk deposit schedule does not automatically apply to testing purchases.
Accepted payment methods are SWIFT bank wire, USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, and Bitcoin (BTC), using instructions on the invoice or signed agreement. CRM does not accept escrow, documentary letters of credit or similar banking instruments.
Relevant shipment documents include the assay report, Certificate of Origin, export permit and shipping details. Shipment terms and cost responsibilities are confirmed in the signed FCO and executed SPA; the SPA governs any differences. Read the purchase process or view the current FAQ.
Buying gold online can feel like stepping into a minefield—one wrong move and you’re out thousands. The internet is crawling with shady dealers, fake certifications, and polished scams that can bankrupt even savvy investors. If you’re serious about stacking real, pure gold, then this guide is your bulletproof vest.
Step 1: Know Exactly What You’re Buying
Don’t let buzzwords like “investment-grade” or “limited edition” fool you. Here’s what actually matters:
- Gold Bars: Usually come in weights from 1g to 1kg. Look for bars with serial numbers and certificates.
- Gold Coins: Like Krugerrands or American Eagles. Trusted, but often sold at a premium.
- Raw Gold/Nuggets: High risk, high reward. Only buy from certified miners.
Stick with purity levels of .999 (24K) for the real deal.
Step 2: Choose a Trusted Supplier
Your supplier is either your savior or your scammer. Vet them like your life depends on it:
- Reputation: Check Google, TrustPilot, and Reddit. No reviews = red flag.
- Certifications: LBMA, ISO, or local mining authority documents.
- Transparency: Real addresses, clear terms, responsive support.
Top-tier suppliers (like us at Congo Rare Minerals) provide end-to-end sourcing, refining, and insured delivery.
Step 3: Confirm Secure Payment & Delivery
NEVER wire money to a “friend of the supplier” in a random country. Instead:
- Accepted payment methods are SWIFT bank wire, USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, and Bitcoin (BTC), using instructions on the invoice or signed agreement. CRM does not accept escrow, documentary letters of credit or similar banking instruments.
- Insist on tracking numbers and insurance documents before the gold moves.
- Double-check the destination country’s import laws to avoid seizures.
Step 4: Get Proof—Then Verify It
Before funds move:
- Ask for photos/videos with timestamps.
- Request refining certificates and assay reports.
- Cross-check serial numbers with international databases.
Step 5: Don’t Skip Legal Shit
- File for import permits if needed.
- Pay your customs duties and taxes.
- Keep receipts, contracts, and all chat/email records.
Final Word
In gold trade, trust is everything—but blind trust is suicide. Vet every source, double-confirm every deal, and don’t fall for urgency or slick talk. When done right, buying gold online is not just safe—it’s the smartest way to build real wealth.
And if you want to skip the risk entirely, we’ve got you covered. Congo Rare Minerals offers verifiable, ethical, and secure gold direct from the source.
Buy smart. Stack heavy. Never get screwed.
