M1A1's last last question was:
Did you guy's purchase locally or mail order???
I bought mail order, but looking back I should have gone to a local dealer. My first safe got horribly banged up in transit, and Kermit got me a replacement pronto. Trouble is I had to make a bunch of phone calls, send photos, wait for TWO more trucks, etc. Had I bought from a local dealer, he would have handled all that paperwork.
I recommend physically looking at a lot of safes before you buy. Whether this is at gun shows, local dealers, or at a pal's house, take a look at what's out there. Once you decide what you want, you might get a better price thru the mail, but IMO nothing can substitute for dealing with a local merchant face to face.
And ditto on what everyone else has said: Key pads are much easier to use than dial locks, and buy a safe for what you'll need a few years down the road, not today. Them guns multiply in the dark!
