STATED IMPROVEMENTS FROM Universal Coin & Bullion.

"Our company is fully committed to provide our customer the highest quality of service both during the transaction process and after the transaction. When we are made aware of customer issues through our representatives or Customer Service Department, we attempt to address the concerns directly with the customer. Our goal is to resolve any reasonable customer issue. However, we cannot address an issue submitted by an anonymous person. If an actual customer has an issue, concern or complaint, we ask that they call our Customer Service Hotline at (877) 899-8380. A customer service representative will listen to your concerns, and will address the issue with the appropriate department.

Our company is constantly seeking to improve in all facets of our business with a focus on satisfying the needs of our customers. We have now posted our Customer Service Hotline in another prominent location on the homepage of our website and made more customer education videos accessible through the homepage of the website.

Our company is a consumer oriented business. Consequently, we occasionally have customer complaints regarding various issues such as delivery time, product returns, pricing and other issues. We always strive to address all customer issues expeditiously to the satisfaction of the customer. We have a customer service department whose toll free number is prominently displayed on invoices, brochures and the homepage of our website (recently added second bold and conspicuous reference on the homepage in the right hand margin). If a customer calls the customer service department, their issues will be addressed to the best of our ability. Additionally, all transactions are verified through a lengthy recorded verification script. The recordings are independently reviewed by a separate department to ensure the customer acknowledges they are suitable for the transaction, comfortable with the entire transaction process, and are agreeable to being called in the future.

We believe our customer service department and verification process provide a structure that addresses customer issues in a manner far superior to our industry competitors.

We are constantly working to improve customer satisfaction by verification of transactions by separate representatives; mandatory verification scripts to ensure customer satisfaction, review of verifications by a separate department and a proactive customer service department.

We take customer service very seriously and have many safeguards in place to ensure a pleasant transaction process. Your Corporate Advocacy Program will provide a vehicle to make the public aware of our commitment to customer service."
