Does anyone know of a means of professionally transporting the contents of a safety deposit box located in a bank in the state of New Jersey to a bank in California? Although it is being transferred to a bank of a similar name (another branch) the bank in New Jersey does not provide this service to its customers.
Of course , required is a means to securely transfer with full insurance.
Anyone with experience with this procedure or aware of the best possibilities your kind advice would be greatly appreciated.

What does the bank in NJ suggest that you do?

I believe that the insurance indemnity limit for registered is now $50K. You can declare a higher value, but you must state the true value and pay an extra fee. The more value the package has, the more security it will get, such as the delivery vehicle being followed by an unmarked car if necessary.

Where did you get that information? I never heard that before.
Is this a new service provided by the USPS?
Unmarked car following if the insured value is high enough?

The info about the extra fee per $1,000 of value over $50K is on their website. I was told by someone at my PO that the fee for overvalued shipments is a fee for extra security, including following the delivery vehicle if necessary. As he said and I've posted here numerous times before. "If you fail to declare the true value and pay the fee AND your shipment gets lost, they will deny your entire claim based on the fact that had they known the true value, they would have handled it differently." He handled registered mail at my PO for more than 25 years.
You might ask at your PO on your next visit.

It's been known that the Hope diamond was once transported using registered mail. Do you suppose they/whoever used regular registered service?

Always has been. How do you think the Hope Diamond was shipped?

I also do not have photo ID, as it is not required in my state to vote, and I wear gloves all the time since my hands are cold.

The Star of Africa was also sent internationally by registered mail, after a diversionary armored boat with a fake package was sent to fool anyone looking to rob it.
No problems.... Cheers, RickO
I moved my entire collection (gold, silver, rare coins etc.) across country, packed in a moving van.

Of course, the three companies Mr. Weinberg suggested is the best way to go.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Asset forfeiture to police departments in need of income should prevent anyone from traveling with large amounts of cash or other valuables. If stopped you are guilty until proven innocent, and your assets are confiscated on the spot. The law now allows police to consider your assets to have been accrued from illegal activity and it is up to you to fight, after the fact, for their return.
Just read where one state police department is now using scanners to seize debit card bank balances from "suspected" criminals. Having large amounts of cash/valuables in your possession is enough cause to make you a suspect when it comes to asset forfeiture - the courts have ruled this form of actual highway robbery is legal.
