Transportation FAQ:
What objects does Idaho Armored Vaults transport?
Idaho Armored Vaults transports fine art, precious metals, coin collections, and more!
Do you need to hire armed security to transport your assets?
There are a myriad of factors to consider when transporting valuable goods–logistical, legal, and physical. In 2019 the FBI reported that 34% of ALL robberies occured on a street or highway. While the phrase “highway robbery” may fill our heads with images of covered wagons and cowboys–the threat is alive and well today. Hiring armed security puts your valuables in the hands of trained professionals. Aside from rigorous training and challenging certifications, professional security teams are well versed in state and federal laws surrounding armed transport. We recommend consulting armed security services for moving valuable assets of any price range, as market volatility is at an all time high.
What is an armed courier?
Armed couriers execute high-risk transport missions, moving valuables and sensitive materials with precision and force protection. Operating from hardened vehicles, they support critical clients including banks, military units, private corporations, and individuals requiring discreet, high-security asset relocation. Every operation demands active threat assessment — couriers surveil their environment at all phases, identifying suspicious behavior, detecting surveillance, and countering potential ambushes. Armed with lethal capabilities, they are authorized and trained to neutralize threats and complete the mission without compromise, ensuring the cargo reaches its destination secure and intact.
Shipping Valuable Assets
When shipping valuable assets to Idaho Armored Vaults for secure storage, please note the following steps in order for your items to be covered under insurance while in transit.
Please insert a packing slip inside the package.
All items must be double-boxed with both the inside and outside boxes fully sealed. We recommend packing your assets before going to the Post Office, an authorized shipping center, or picked up by the courier. Do not identify or otherwise describe the package’s contents to a third party or use words that connote value such as “coins”, “numismatics” “bullion” “gold” or “silver” on the outside box or the shipping label.
Address: Ship all packages to
IAV FBO client name
2245 North Samantha Court
Nampa, Idaho 83687.
Affix and secure shipping label to package before giving package to the courier.
Self-Shipping: Use a courier of your choice and insure packages to full value through courier. We prefer clients to use United State Post Office (USPS) registered mail because clients can insure packages directly with USPS. Packages should only be shipped on Mondays through Thursdays. Do not ship packages on Friday or Saturday.
If arranging shipping through Idaho Armored Vaults, please contact a representative for additional instructions.
Receipt: It is your responsibility to obtain an official courier receipt that includes a tracking number for each package.
If sending items with “registered mail” service: No plastic tape can be used on the outside box. Only paper shipping tape with an adhesive backing (back needs to be moistened for adhesive to work). The reason is that the USPS clerk will hand stamp the entire package to protect it from tampering.
Please include your packing list inside the interior box. This will help us reconcile the inventory to your records. Please write your address on the outside of the interior box in case the outside box is damaged.
Please mail USPS using priority mail flat rate boxes and add registered service. Please insure for appropriate amount up to $50,000. This will also include an adult signature required. Ensure items are double-boxed and outer box is tapped with paper shipping tape, not plastic.
Send tracking information to Idaho Armored Vaults after you ship it.
Please have the coins and/or in an inner box with plenty of packaging material so items and inner box do not shift around. Please make sure to tape the seams and corners really well. If you would like to add registered service, you can insure the package as well. If you use registered service, please use only paper shipping tape with adhesive back to seal the outer box. USPS will not accept plastic tape on the outside of the box if sent with registered service.
Here is an example of the tape. Local office supply stores sell this as well.
