POLAR BEAR POURS IS CURRENTLY INACTIVE
11/20/2022 Dear friends,
Polar Bear Pours LLC is currently inactive. We have enjoyed creating silver bullion products for the community since 2017 and our small business grew tremendously. Unfortunately the precious metals industry comes with one of the highest rates of fraud, we were victims of this fraud when we were hit by a 3 month string of credit card "chargebacks". You have to have a specific type of chargeback insurance that will cover you in the event of something like this. We didn't have it. By the time we figured out what had happen, it was an avalanche of chargebacks/fraud that went on for an additional 90 days. These were professional fraudsters. We were never targets until we got more popular and then moved up in google search results, it was double edge sword and we were not prepared.
To imagine that someone could steal in 3 months what took 5 years to earn is very sad. We fought with the banks, but in the end when we took credit cards on the site. It is considered a "card not present" transaction and left the lability on the merchant (us) and the bank has zero liability. We paid back the banks and they reimbursed the cardholders (also victims). The precious metals themselves were all gone and we took the hit. We have fulfilled all orders and settled all debts, but had little left. Many times precious metal dealers have entire teams dedicated to fraud/risk management. As a small business we did not have the resources to have this type of protection.
We still love precious metals but our growth was too fast and were not prepared. We also had amazing support from customers, so thank you all so much. Our larger competitor in Oklahoma City were not helpful to us at all. If you are looking for precious metals, I would recommend Bullion Exchange, Monument Metals, and MKbarz. This website will be staying up for verification purposes. I do plan on making additional products in the future when the time is right. It would be more on a hobby basis. Thanks to all our customers. No matter what, I can say that we did every customer right. We did good business and have no debts. I look forward to additional projects in the future. No matter what it seems that Big Bullion and the Bankers always win :).

ABOUT US
Polar Bear Pours LLC is a family run commercial foundry located in the heart of Oklahoma City, OK. Since 2017, we have manufactured investment grade .999 silver and gold bars to a strict standard. Our products are known for their attention to detail and high hand finished quality. We do not wholesale to the large online dealers, so our products tend to have a higher resale value because they are not manufactured in bulk. This leaves us with more time to ensure every bullion product we make, is one that you will be proud to add to your "stack".
I am very active on Instagram! That is where I do my treasure hunts! Feel free to contact me through IG!
