Message:: [QUOTE="Deplorabledan, post: 24644584, member: 88896"]I have to disagree that HWI is a sensible option here. As I previously noted, I have insurance through HWI and its great. With that being said, in order to be covered for shipping you need to be covered under the GOLD tier. The bronze tier is relatively inexpensive but covered your holdings at your house, SDB, or transporting between those two locations. Gold tier coverage is very expensive, and I think it would cost at least $300-$400 for 30k, which makes no sense since you'd be paying an annual rate for a years worth of coverage when you're about to sell the coins. I suspect this whole thread will be moot if you simply ask Ian, for a 30k consignment I don't see why he just provide a label with instructions. If not, you can ship registered mail and use USPS insurance which goes up to 50k, not 5k like a previous comment stated. It will take a couple weeks to get there but it will be fine. The loss rate of registered mail is almost non existent in comparison to PM, PME, or Fedex. The package has to travel with a verifiable chain of custody and a signature at every hand off. I personally am disconnected from the idea of flying to Cali for a 30k package, that sounds like a colossal waste of resources but if it makes you feel more comfortable have at it. The reason Silverpop is so averse to shipping anything is because he got flamed on the CU boards for selling another member a $60 or $70 coin that got lost in the mail. He used the cheapest shipping option (first class) and was too cheap to add insurance, or just pay for  priority mail rate which comes with $100 standard insurance. Then, he refused to reimburse the buyer of the coin and got called out into oblivion. Don't be like Silverpop, insure your package and you dont need to "expect the worst" lol.[/QUOTE]
