Well the safest way is from a reputable dealer like SilverTowne, Provident, jmbullion and numerous others. Also look for who does free shipping and handling as some of them are outrageous and check their premiums over the spot price.

Thank you. Would it be safer to get a PO box to get it sent to?

I always have my orders delivered at work so I know they are actually delivered and myself or my co-workers sign for it.

High volume orders require signatures so I dont think po box will work all that well. Smaller orders a po box might not be a bad idea. I would ask the company whether or not they will be using signature on delivery.

Ohhhh thank you. I didn't think about work. I'm in the military so I don't think about my work address on base much.

Dealers will not ship to P.O. Boxes, work is your best bet as there will always be someone there to sign for it.

Provident and silvertowne will ship to po boxes. But many others will not. I live in a very rural area and there is no mail delivery out here. Even the UPS won't come out here. That makes ordering ANYTHING a pain in the....!
