price compare to UPS they are often less expensive than US post.

Re: Postal question...

do not price compare to UPS or Fedex or anything else. they are not as safe as registered mail

send it registered mail, but do not insure. registered mail will get there. the safest mail there is. Apmex uses only Registered mail.

search GIM for registered and you will find some others saying same

Re: Postal question...

Thank you both for the replies. We have a substitute at the post office and the wife got things straightened out. Sometimes one has to bypass the indians and go to the chief. ;-)

You can send a package about as big as a $1000 face bag of silver in a flat rate priority box and insure it for about $35. Check with the post office. If you have any questions call CNI and ask for Bill in shipping. 1-800-225-7531.

I hear diamond sellers use fedex regularly and dont bother to insure. Consider that such dealers probably have CGL policies and such losses might be insured already so it would be redundant to do so. Also they probably want to lose diamonds because they probably keep their stock over-insured. Just guessing about that here.

USPS Registered Mail; If you are sending a, $9,000.00 Coin/Bullion! You Must package the box with 2 ", Brown Tape, No Seems Showing at all and the tape CANNOT be, Glossy. Registered Mail is the Safest & Most secure way to mail, coins/bullion etc. etc (Ever see a USPS police car tagging/following behind a Big USPS mail truck? It's only because, somewhere in the truck there is at least one registered mail package. And if it has to travel by plane, it gets put in a Blue and Red Heavy plastic Locked carrier/box - A Postal worker has to watch it go in the plane and has to be there when it comes out too). But it's one big pain to package the box.
***Read up on Insurance. United States Postal Service is the ONLY company who actually Insure Coins.*** You can in fact Insure coins through, UPS or Fed Ex. but if it goes a missing and you tell them it was a coin or bullion... You are OUT!!! TRUST ME.

I am not a Postal employee. I just asked and asked why and how can they prove to me that my package is so safe. And I used to work for, Delta airlines. So that's how I know and use it a lot and never had a problem

I just used the post office to send a lot of bullion and the flat rate priority box is by far the cheapest, fastest and easiest way to go. The package got across the country in two days. Absolutely no problems. The packages took a while to seal but you can get the boxes for free at the post office and seal them at home.
