In this post we will cover how and why average silver bulion shipments by DHL are prohibited.
As well we will show you other options you can utilize to ship physical silver bullion throughout the USA (and possibly elsewhere around the world).
Of course many silver bullion dealers including us use various private delivery parcel services but we use third party insurance policies and have express written agreements to do so.
Most individuals involved in the process of shipping silver bullion sold back to silver bullion dealers do not have access to these insurance policies due to limited volume and size of most silver investor shipments (there are some exceptions, like using USPS Registered Mail for safely shipping silver bullion).
The good news is that we can offer such services to our customer base. Simply give our bullion team a call ( at 1.800.294.8732 ) to to discuss our current silver shipping rates and procedures. For those selling and or shipping silver bullion in large size, we can also possible provide you with convenient professional silver shipping options as well.
First let us show you what DHL expressly prohibits from its US origin shipments so you fully understand that trying to ship silver bullion on your own, is risky and not allowed by DHL.
According to DHL, shipping silver bullion is akin to shipping guns, illegal drugs, pornography (none are allowed without express written permission from DHL).
