Where do they pack U.S.Mint products?

i believe memphis is where they are shipped from after delivered to by subs that 'roll' them and bag them.

I am curious because i am sending back 5 gold buffs and want to make sure they get to the right people so i get my refund.Is there a chance of pilferage like at the U.S.post office when sending back valuable items?

As final packaging (mail containers) is concerned Memphis is the place. Although I hear the Mint, wanting to reduce cost, is considering having this contracted to a company in mainland China.

As with anything, there is always a chance that some worker will subcontract himself/herself out and run off with your goods but for the US Mint, that would be a Federal offense punishable in a Federal Court! The risk to a would be thief is very high.

I send my returns to the address on the pre-addressed label that comes with the packing slip and have never had a problem. If you are really worried, simply insure your buffs as collectibles which is what the US Mint recommends anyway. Hopefully you are still within your 30 day return window?

5 gold buffaloes is a lot of money. It will cost your extra but registered mail is the safest way and if you need peace of mind that they get their safely.

registered mail may be safer but it will take a loooong time to get there based on my experience.

If you looked at the schedule this morning they are packing Proof AGEs in (W) burnished AGE packages.

I thought that that was outsourced to China.

True! But...............they have a 99.999% chance of getting there which is the most important thing to consider!
