I recently did business with a mail order shop:
ajpm.com
I ordered 1500 ounces of silver, and several ounces of gold.
The silver was mostly in round 1 oz (coin) form minted by sunshine minting, and came in big canvas bags. You should have seen the UPS man. :) He really wondered what in the world could have been so heavy in such a small (relative) package.
The sunshine rounds are not really collectibles, and many were not in 'mint' condition, evidenced by an occasional very small scratch, but that is not why I am buying. I found this deal much better than the US eagle. I paid 4.95 per troy ounce.
The gold is 1998 US eagles, and came in those little US treasury tubes, and is in perfect condition. For this recent purchase I paid $287/oz.
When you place the order, you lock the price, and receive a confirmation number which you put on the check, and then you wait for (in my case) about 3 weeks for insured delivery. The delivery charge is reasonable, and I haggled them down a few bucks on that too.
Other than the wait, it was a perfectly effortless process.
Selling is supposed to work the same way in reverse. (call, lock price, ship metal, receive check...) I haven't done this, however.
Just thought I'd share my 2 bits on the subject.
