I just reviewed the 4 spot deals (JM, Monument, Provident, Silver Gold Bull). I forgot to mention the Provident was the only signature required. Not sure why they are the only ones.
I HATE signature required mail, I sleep during the day. Provident used to be my go to bullion dealer, but is it me, or do they just not have the selection they once had? Monument Metals seems to be my go to dealer now. Thanks for the video. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling the way you do. Maybe if they hear from more of us, things will change.
I agree with you 1000%. My last order was a quarter ounce gold queens beast. I live in a rural area had to drive about 23 miles or more to pick my package up directly at the post office. Enough people should complain it shouldn’t be mandatory or random
Yeah no one likes signing... until you get a package stolen from your front porch after delivery. The package is going to show delivered and you will likely be out of luck. Even if I'm only shipping $200 worth of bullion, if the address appears to be an apartment or similar, I always send it with sig confirmation - adult signature. As much of a pain as needing to go to the post office is, having a package stolen from you and being out that money sucks much more.
I agree with you Fortune. I live out of town and it is a big hassle to have to go sign. Have to find a time when the P.O. is open and I am not at work. It is nice for those that like that option, but agree it should be a selection choice at the time of purchase.
Can we assume that you work at a coin shop, from the picture of you (I guess) squatting by the stack of monster boxes of ASE’s? If so, why don’t you get PM’s at a reduced price thru your boss? Well, anyways, I happen to like Provident. They have very fair prices for most of their products. And, for the most part, they don’t price gouge like Apmex.
Victor Frankenstein i could be wrong but i dont think he does work in a coin shop (again i could be wrong), i think he was just taking a picture at his local shop next to the monster boxes
I agree, I hate having to sign for a package. I have a locked mail box and most companies I don't have to sign for and it's convenient to have it in the mail box. Otherwise I have to drive far to the post office, wait in line. Very annoying.
Provident is in my top 3...but they should email you and give you a heads up if you have to sign! Myself I've had at least 20 orders from them under 750 and never had to sign. Love the spot deal! Got it about 8 months ago!:)))👍
I think they just started the signature requirement. If you sign the form I leave you I will redeliver the next business day. Plus...Provident gives Vets “as low as” pricing on everything on their website👍
My gripe with Provident is that a couple of my coins had dings and scratches almost like it was done intentionally. That and i still have not received a magnet in any of my orders.
I'm just the opposite I would rather have to sign for it that way I know for sure it makes it to me most of the time when I ordered from Provident it is for Junk silver but you're right it can become a hassle to make it to the post office
When you pay with a credit card you shouldn't have to wait 4 days to ship. That is lazy on providents end. I could have ordered with a check for MUCH less!
Ive had more losses by USPS in 2019 first quarter than most years combined, so Maybe thats why the signature required.Ive had to prove over and over again, which USPS tracking helps with. Just saying, if youve had good luck then youre in minority. Another service USPS offers are lockboxes for PObox holders. Every US resident who lives rural America without home delivery gets one free USPS smallest POBox- it wont take larger packages. If it wont fit, I ask the to put in a locker. I go open my mailbox, remove the locker key and get the large parcel from locker. Without signature required you can get your mail 24/7- so consider the small POBox fee. If signature required, its a hassle for me also, as my local PO closes at 3pm Mon-Fri open only 9-10 Saturday, so what working person can get there?? BIG hassle! Small POBx and lockers is perfect¯
I ordered $50 face junk from Apmex, Provident and JM bullion.. apmex was right away and in my mailbox.. provident was right away but I had to sign.. which since I wasn't home had to go to post office next day. JM bullion took two weeks for some reason. But no signature. Also in my roll of halves from Provident there were two 40%ers. Not great. But not end of the world horrible. May give them another try.
Randomness is soooo annoying. Agreed my friend. Provident sent me ASE coins with big fat fingerprints on them and have ignored my requests for a discount, only will swap them out. Not good enough.
Signature required is wise for bullion purchases and post offices hold the package for 15 days not 3 so there is plenty of time to get it. They try to deliver it once and if you are not home they take it back to the main post office in your town until you pick it up. I myself prefer signature required when buying precious metals.
Thanks for the heads up. I am going for all of the new customer deals as I am truly new to this whole community lol wondering does provident metals charge a credit card fee? And do they give a discount for using a check/ wire?
Lol, yup doesn't that suck when it's not recording and think it was! Been there before! Ya should of just packed it up slow & said that's what I got! So your back out west eh! Sweet 👍 fresh air!
JM Bullion and Provident Metals are the worst companies to deal with and they are owned by the same which makes it even worse. I hate their deception and poor customer service. Buyers beware. There are better companies out there. I got royally screwed after dealing with them since 2011
I also got 'At Spot' Deals at JM Bullion, SD Bullion, Bold Metals, Monument Metals.
I just reviewed the 4 spot deals (JM, Monument, Provident, Silver Gold Bull). I forgot to mention the Provident was the only signature required. Not sure why they are the only ones.
After the first delivery attempt - Go online to the USPS website, type in the tracking number and choose "Hold at Post Office".

I should think about a coin shop side gig, as an opportunity to learn if not for any other reason. That picture though is just me in my LCS though :P

I got this 1 last year, love the rounds. Just bought the 10 oz. Silver gold bull bar and its nice.
I just got the 10oz silver gold bull bar also, but I got it directly from SilverGoldBull.com and I got it at spot. About $154.00 it's really nice!
Just got my 10oz last week from them. I've never had to sign,probably because my friend is my mailman lol
My gripe with Provident is that a couple of my coins had dings and scratches almost like it was done intentionally. That and i still have not received a magnet in any of my orders.
Great deal, and a totally understandable complaint.🎩
I stopped buying generic, just having a ball with constitutional, ASE and various other national mints. Love the Perth mint stuff. Nice update.
Wish we could get deals like this in uk

I like the free signature required
It costs them to have a sig. required. I like it but i work from home so im always here.
Randomness is soooo annoying. Agreed my friend. Provident sent me ASE coins with big fat fingerprints on them and have ignored my requests for a discount, only will swap them out. Not good enough.
😂 haha I get so mad with signature required you had me cracking up I can tell you get annoyed like I have

The post office here in my town NC, I have made good relations with the post office staff. They always hold my packages until i come pick them up.
How do we get the veteran discount. Im not a fan of these. They look like aluminum foil
Thanks for the heads up. I am going for all of the new customer deals as I am truly new to this whole community lol wondering does provident metals charge a credit card fee? And do they give a discount for using a check/ wire?
If you only ordered the 10 oz that is kind of weird, I never had a package from Provident under $750 total value that needed a signature.
thanks for the link!
Cool😍👍👍👍
Wow those look great!!
Wheres the link?
i like that balboa in the beginning of your videos.
Huh, I’ve been buying from Provident for over a year and I never have to sign for a package.
Me either! I have been buying from Provident since I started stacking in 2015.
Maybe you only have to sign If you buy over a certain dollar amount, or If buying gold?
@@abruegger007 Even gold 1/4 oz you don't have to sign for. Only thing I can think is his total order was over $750.
Just got hit with tax on my $300 order. Never happened before. Sorry to say I'll have to leave Provident.
Lol, yup doesn't that suck when it's not recording and think it was! Been there before! Ya should of just packed it up slow & said that's what I got! So your back out west eh! Sweet 👍 fresh air!
Provident does the best packaging
