This is one of the main causes of anxiety in my life lately. Every time I'm waiting for a delivery, I'm wondering if someone's going to rifle through my mailbox or the driver is just going to help himself to my bullion. Even though I always get my package in the end, I still get anxious because of stories like this.

Welcome to the CCF, Ed52151. I share your concern, and that's the principal reason that I utilize a PO box. Some years ago, I won a rare coin in a Heritage auction. I was out-of-state at the time, so I asked Heritage by phone to ship it to the address where I was staying. Instead, they shipped it by UPS to my home, 1300 miles away. When I realized what they'd done, I called upon a buddy to check my front porch. He found the package sitting in a foot of snow ... western NY! Now, every time I look at that coin, one of my personal favorites, I recall that fiasco.

Hiya Ed2151 and

There's always the human element that you have to deal with and I feel your pain. No matter how many precautions the bullion dealers take, *someone* outside of the organization knows what the shipment is. It's unlikely the delivery guy (and those guys make some GOOD money as it is - I can't imagine them risking their jobs for something like that) knows. But the pickup guy? Or the shipping room clerk?

At least with shipping today you have tracking #'s and guarantees and such. But for priceless, unique, irreplaceable coins, even if you have insurance, the coin can't be replaced. Ugh... it's a risk.

And yes, every time I order bullion, I wonder if it's going to make it to my mailbox and stay there. It has to date....
