Sending gold in the mail what is the best way?

[makahaman]

Hi guys I want to send my gold to Midwest but having a hard time because everyone wants some appraisal. What is the safest way to send it if I have 1,ooo grams? I am afraid if it is lost so is my investment! Or should I take a small lost and sell it for $8.00 a gram? Any suggestions is much appreciated!

Yes, send it UPS or FED-EX. It shouldn't have to be appraised if under a certain amount. If you listen to horror stories from the dealers there, they are just trying to get you to sell to them at a loss. Below is the instructions from Midwest.

Package up your gold, silver or platinum in a sturdy container or box that will withstand any damage while being shipped to us. Strong tape is recommended to properly seal your shipment. Ship all precious metals with insurance (recommended) via the U.S. Post Office, UPS, Fed ex, or any shipper you choose.



Be sure to include all of your contact information including name, address, daytime phone and email address if you have one. List the items you are sending and the nature of your gold, silver and platinum metals if known.
