How to Fund and Mail Precious Metals for Storage

How do you fund and mail precious metals for storage?

You can mail precious metals into storage in two ways: by arranging your own insured shipping or by requesting a prepaid insured label. In both cases, your account must be fully verified, and the metals are stored at the IDS Texas vault after they arrive and are verified.

How do you start a mail-in storage request?

  1. Log into GoldSilver.com.
  2. Go to HOLDINGS.
  3. Select Start A Mail-In Storage Request.
  4. Enter your precious metals and submit the request.
  5. Wait to be notified that your account is eligible. Note: If your account is not yet fully verified, you will need to complete verification before your request can be processed.

What shipping options are available?

Can you use your own shipping?

Yes. A packing slip is provided for inside your package, and you arrange and pay for your own insured shipping.

Can you request a prepaid insured label?

Yes. To do this, reply with:

  • Box dimensions
  • Weight
  • The precious metals you are sending
  • Your payment method

A quote is then sent for approval. Nothing is charged until you confirm.

The quote will be sent to your email address on file. Quotes are typically valid for a limited time, so be sure to confirm promptly.

How is the prepaid label paid for?

The prepaid label can be paid for using:

  • The credit card on file, or
  • Your cash balance

The label and instructions are emailed within one business day after confirmation and payment processing.

What packaging limits apply to prepaid insured shipments?

Prepaid insured shipments are:

  • Double boxed
  • Limited to 50 pounds per box
  • Must not exceed $100,000 USD in declared value per box

What happens after the metals arrive?

Once the metals arrive and are verified, they are stored at the IDS Texas vault.

Conclusion

To mail precious metals for storage, submit a mail-in storage request from your GoldSilver.com account, then choose either self-shipping or a prepaid insured label. For prepaid shipping, provide the box dimensions, weight, metals being sent, and payment method to receive a quote and instructions.
