How To Take Possession Of A Monster Box Of Silver?

Since the postman is part of an identifiable chain of custody from the shipper to your front door, it's unlikely he or she would be foolish enough to act upon any suspicions about your package's possible contents. Note the word "unlikely."

The key here for both keeping your silver and your own sanity safe is don't do anything that might *confirm* anyone's suspicions about what you're buying or where you might be storing. Be discrete. Let the household know to *not* talk about your purchase with anyone... not good friends, not the neighbors, not even extended family members. No one. Security through obscurity is always your best defense. Save the talking for this forum!

This is my opinion. Others may disagree.

I am real lucky as my mailman is real cool professional guy, an anytime package sent with sig required and this silver lover was NOT home, I have always had to go pick up next business day. Bit of an inconvenience, but just is what it is, and I would rather have the peace of mind then to know a high dollar item is just sitting on my porch.....

I have come home to big packages on the porch, but that was the fault of seller for going cheap an not buying sig confirmation....

USPS is cheaper usually, but they charge you extra for every little detail, where most of this is provided by UPS store, my local anyway. Nice to get pick up from store emails on packs going out, and emails telling me package arrived....

That is nice to prevent fraudulent buyers claiming they DID NOT GET, when they in fact did....

I tell you what, I trust no drivers after watching not only a Fed ex guy toss a computer over a fence back before Christmas, and a USPS guy did the same not long after, and both caught on video tape. Both shipments damaged as well seems like....

I agree with Throwbackid.

Personally if someone wants to rob me they better have 10 guys with em and be ready for a fight, or be armed and hope I am not.

This thread has gone off the deep end lol.

Oh -- and thanks again to poboxw for the suggestion about getting a P.O. Box. It was a terrific idea and has eased my wife's paranoia quite a bit. I know we can't get every PM delivery sent there, since some dealers ship via FedEx or UPS, but for this particular delivery at least it should work out just perfectly.

for someone that is so worried about the security of there silver stash, it is amazing that you have put this post up, not only members can see this but everyone with an Internet access can see it as well.
Are you actually buying the silver or are you just "Big noting"
This is a numismatics's forum not a security advisory forum, if you cannot work it out for yourself get some professional help.

Since my original question has been answered (thanks again, poboxw) and this thread has started devolving into personal attacks, perhaps it's time to ask a moderator that it be closed?
