3CM, The London Mint is a cheap copy cat company of The Royal Mint, what you have there is a "scam" they run.
You order one item online and they will continue to send you items in that collection and then finally bill you for them all and they want about £35 an ingot plus the booklet to keep it in.
It's basically how they work, they are a hard sell company, if you call them I bet they will have a different deal each day, best to cancel all that and send it back or they will continue to post stuff and expect you to pay for it.

I think rhodium is more valuable than platinum...

That's nice, it's rhodium plated though, not solid rhodium.
