Safekeeping Fee Calculations: The rates listed above are annual charges; however, safekeeping fees are billed quarterly. Accordingly, the Quarterly safekeeping charge is determined by multiplying the market value of the Customer precious metals on the first day of the appropriate Quarter of the calendar year by the applicable safekeeping rate listed above, and the result is then divided by four to yield your Quarterly safekeeping charge. Charges are billed in advance for the quarter, based on the quarterly calculation described above, and are not refundable. Please note there are breakpoints that apply that will reduce the percentage fee for storage as the value of assets stored increase.
Note: A minimum safekeeping fee of $37.50 will be charged for any three-month billing period in which Customer Precious Metals of any value are held.
Asset Delivery
Customers may instruct GFLP to prepare and arrange for the delivery of precious metals at the Customer’s expense using the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx or other commercial courier, or via armored carrier, to an address specified, or for acceptance by the Customer or the Customer’s designated agent. Upon receipt of the Customer’s written instructions, and at the Customer’s expense, GFLP will promptly process the request, package the precious metals, and have them delivered per Customer instructions. Any delivery of products that originated from an Affiliate account will be delivered in the largest denomination from the bars available for the amount requested. Amounts below 1 gram in weight will be delivered in “shot” form. For example, a Customer would like to have the weight owned shipped in its entirety and currently has 124.44 grams available from Affiliate Accounts. The Customer could either receive; 1 ea 100 gram bar, 1 ea 20 gram bar, 4 ea 1 gram bar and .44 grams of silver shot, or; 4 ea troy ounces as the conversion allows.
