PERTH MINT Delivery Costs?

[Ro (Sydney)]

Does anyone know how shipping costs are worked out with Perth Mint? Also have any of you used them?

eg. The cost of shipping two 1kg silver bars to Sydney.

Cheers

If it were me, I'd just buy from a local dealer and pick it up in person. If pick up wasn't an option, I'd probably still buy from a local dealer with cheap shipping rates.

As mentioned earlier, it's $17.50 per Kg plus 1% of total cost for insurance.

Remember to add the weight of packaging when calculating the shipping weight.
Eg 1 x 1kg bar = 2kg shipping weight when you add the 200g box!!

Ask me how I know!!

I got a quote about a month ago for a box of 100 x 1oz Lunar Mouse Coins when the price was $4277.00

Delivery was $70.00.
Plus Insurance was $47.82.

So add around $120 extra to the Perth Mint price.

So, Worried....how do you know?

Gees thats pricey. Maybe it works out ok to buy in bulk?

Sometimes a pick-up order isn't feasible, especially if you are in the Hunter so postage always needs to be considered.
Depending on the order, sometimes the $17.50/kg +1% works out cheaper than the prices offered by retailers, mainly for bars. Easy enough to do the sums.
There is a lot to be said for developing the working relationship with your dealers though. With the mints you are just a number.
