<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmcdad, post: 367785, member: 13961&quot;]<b>Finally!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Dear Friends,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My shipment finally arrived on Tuesday, 18 days after it was shipped. The USPS hub at Louisville decided the postmark was not clear enough and returned it to Gaithersburg for confirmation. That was the cause of the shipping delay. I filed a complaint with the Postal Service for non delivery of mail, but you have to wait 15 days before they will take action.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The bottom line: You&#039;d better make double sure you know who you are dealing with in precious metals purchase. I did my due diligence with online research, and had a personal recommendation from someone who had used Gaithersburg for &quot;$10&#039;s of thousands&quot; of dollars of purchases. This person had personally consigned over $1,000,000 of purchases for acquaintences from Gaithersburg Coin Exchange. Of course, I was foolish to make such a large initial purchase, and <u>I would recommend that anyone purchasing from a new source to start out with a minimum purchase, just to test the seller&#039;s integrity and customer service.</u> This was a harrowing experience that caused more than one sleepless night. All&#039;s well that ends well, and I am much wiser from this experience. If silver goes to $100/oz., my wounds will be ameliorated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most of the comments about my situation on this forum were positive and helpful. I want to thank those of you who showed some empathy. What happened to me could happen to anyone on this forum under the right circumstances. In a world of ants and grasshoppers, I am an ant who is trying to keep the Fed&#039;s 17% real inflation rate from stealing my savings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2006/10/the_ant_and_the.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2006/10/the_ant_and_the.html" rel="nofollow">http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2006/10/the_ant_and_the.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember, if you don&#039;t have it, you don&#039;t own it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>usmcdad[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
