While the stock market has lost about 40 percent in the last year, gold is selling for $850 an ounce and trading within 15 percent of its highest price ever.
But the Better Business Bureau and consumer complaint Web sites have registered hundreds of complaints against mail in gold services. The biggest gripes: pricing discrepancies, misleading advertising and claims of lost shipments.
