I don't really see the point in JM Bullion offering "free shipping" if that means the shipping they use won't require a signature. You get free shipping +$199.

Orders over $1000 always require a signature. Which means if you place an order between $199 and $999 and you choose "free shipping" they're just gonna leave it at your door and if anything happens (like it's stolen or the delivery person does something with it) you are shit out of luck. Once it's shown as "delivered" that's where their responsibility ends.

I can't even find an option to add signature confirmation through Bullion Exchanges.

I feel it's a necessary thing and don't want stuff just being left outside my house. I haven't had problems with packages being stolen in my area but it's not like it's NOT a possibility. Imagine you place a $500 order and that package gets stolen (or "lost" somehow), how you think that affects your "average buy-in price"? It completely ruins it.

Honestly Apmex does it the best way I've seen so far when you can just add the sig confirmation for $3.99. That's reasonable to me. Better than the $13 option JM Bullion "recommends".

How do you guys deal with this issue? Free shipping is tempting but not if it's an inferior option.
