Great company! They literally salvaged our recycling program. Consultations and suggestions regarding security and reporting as well as providing the right equipment resulted in our returns nearly tripling!

Mike said that he could get me a better return, like everyone else, but I decided to give them a try. I am glad that I did. On my first two batches I received 2 to 3 times what I had been getting with my old refiner. I do recommend giving them a try.

Meet James at a dental conference and liked that it is a family run company. No longer are strangers walking in the practice with the lure of cash on the spot. We have never received the type of returns we are receiving with Core Scientific. Highly recommend.

The easiest experience for us! Keyla was awesome, super quick to respond, and willing to answer all of our questions. This was the main reason we went with Core Scientific, because the level of comfort and trust that she immediately built made us feel comfortable in knowing that she would be there to support us and all of our needs in an extremely timely manner. We actually spoke to Keyla, got our shipment materials and got Keyla's confirmation emails BEFORE we even got responses from a few of the other companies we had reached out to! We are super happy with our choice to go with Core!

I have been working with core scientific for over 2 years. Previously I walked with cash buyers and a local precious metals refinery. I decided to try core scientific after a couple of phone calls with Paul and I received almost double of what I expected. The customer service is great and the process smooth and transparent. I highly recommend them.

Roland Kutschia

02:35 24 Jul 19

Fantastic customer service and timely response. Most importantly, the returns that I have received were more than I expected and, that I have received in the past from other refiners. They take the time and care to extract as much return as possible.I'm staying with Core Scientific for years to come.

The folks at Core scientific are easy to work with and have great communication. The return rate on the metal is top notch and I like how they break down the metal components so you know what you sent them.

Having been contacted via a cold call from Paul, I listened and with much skepticism agreed to send to his company some bench sweeps I have had for quite a while. I received a prepaid shipping container in which to send the sweeps and some polishing wheel machine filters back to his company. So far, so good. A few weeks later I received a phone call from Paul informing me that a check was being sent to me. I must truly admit that I was presently surprised, no shocked, at the amount! And I just received another call from Paul informing me of another check that is coming for the filters or as he called them low grade material. Their service is exceptional, their staff is professional and friendly. They will continue to receive my business! In fact, I'm now putting together some sterling silver to send to them.
