National Collectors Mint sells coins primarily made in the United States. However, they also sell foreign and ancient coins. CFO, Avram C. Freedburg explained that in addition to selling coins they also create custom coins, "we try to create the best products that tie into events, some of them happy some of them not so happy, and commemorate them."

Leads for National Collectors Mint are obtained through several different avenues including: direct mail, print advertising, national newspaper and magazines on television, as well as through internet advertising. Mr. Freedburg proceeded to explain the sales and services process as it relates to the individual consumer, "consumers can order either by phone where they may receive an automated answer...or a customer sales person who will talk to them directly when they call. They can order by mail or they can order over the internet." Additionally he stated, "we try to take very good care of the customer every time there is a contact."

CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – NATIONAL COLLECTORS MINT

During the onsite interview Mr. Freedburg was asked to describe a situation where a client was dissatisfied with their level of service or the products they received. Mr. Freedburg expressed, "sometimes a customer may come up with a product they think they spent too much money on, and they need a return, exchange, or a refund. We take care of those no matter what the customer wants we are there for the customer. Their our number one." The staff at National Collector's Mint does everything they can to ensure customer satisfaction, "I would say that 99.9% of the people are happy after they've contacted us and with whatever our resolution is because we try to keep the customer happy."

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Freedburg expressed the following, "unfortunately National Collector’s Mint had over 40 Ripoff Report complaints. We reviewed them...from 2004-present...considering the volume of business that National Collector’s Mint has done that’s a fairly small number. On the other hand we like to try and keep every customer happy. So we’re concerned when 40 complaints show up that we haven’t seen before." Mr. Freedburg went on to state, "In an effort to try and research these complaints there was very little customer information available, but we do know that Ripoff Report emailed each of those customers, and told them that we’re subscribing to the Corporate Advocacy department that is being offered by Ripoff Report."

National Collectors Mint is proud to be a part of Ripoff Report's Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "not only are we happy to be affiliated with Ripoff Report's Corporate Advocacy Program, but...[it's] very important to us.
