Of course I'm concerned about finding an entity who's trustworthy and doesn't charge some ridiculous premium for the service. I'd also want reasonably low minimum accumulation requirements for free shipping because I really don't want somebody else holding MY silver until I reach a bazillion dollars or whatever.

My concerns/goals are: (a) I'd like to automate the process because I know I'd be more likely to get it done, and (b) I feel like shipping adds considerable expense when we're talking about less than 100 ounces at a time.

Thanks in advance for any advice...

BTW: I've Googled this and it seems like everything I've found has some sort of catch. Once place buys and accumulates it on paper for a very small premium over spot price, but then charges you 10% to have your account converted to actual silver and shipped to you. Not a deal. Another place charges basically double the going rate over spot, but will ship it to you for free when you reach 100+ ounces. Their premium is so high, I'd be better off just buying from Provident or wherever and just paying the shipping charge.
Check out CloudHardAssets.com, I've dealt with them a lot and they ship free without having to spend a bunch. They often have specials, recently 1 oz silver bars were $1.25 over spot. They're really good folks to deal with.
