Storage fees cover the secure and insured storage of precious metals in a S.T.A.R. Storage parcel. These fees are calculated as a percentage of the market value of the metals in storage, based on the spot price at the time of purchase and, subsequently, at the time of storage renewal. Storage periods can be prepaid for up to five years, and any unused prepaid storage fees are refundable if the parcel is sold or delivered before the period ends.
