The mantra for buying physical is "If you don't hold it you don't own it"
Take delivery is my two cents. Depending on how much you have will depend on the level of security. Personally I store mine in my rifle safe. I'll be in the market for a new safe soon and I will be putting serious (for me) money into buying the best that I can.
It'd also depend on your world out look.
Best of luck
