You stay in control
Posting valuables should never feel like a leap of faith, so here it does not start as one. Ask your questions first and send photos of your bullion on WhatsApp for a no-charge quick indicative figure. Only when you are comfortable do you request a label.
This is a UK-wide postal service with no branches anywhere. Wherever you live, it works the same way: a free insured label in, a written offer back, and a free return if you decline.
Bullion we buy
- Gold bars and ingots, any weight, any brand
- Silver bars, rounds and ingots
- Bullion coins, Sovereigns, Krugerrands, Britannias, Maple Leafs, Eagles
- Cast, poured and minted bullion
- Mixed holdings of gold and silver bullion together
Whether your holding is one Sovereign or a mixed box of bars and coins, send it together. For coins specifically see sell gold & silver coins; for bars see sell gold bullion and sell silver bullion.
The process, step by step
- Get in touch and show us. A WhatsApp photo of your bullion is all we need to give you an honest quick indicative figure before anything is posted.
- Get your free label. We send a prepaid Royal Mail Special Delivery label, fully tracked. If you have no printer, a QR code for the counter does the same job.
- Send it at your own pace. Wrap it in any padded envelope and hand it in at a Post Office whenever it suits you.
- See the written offer. We weigh and XRF-assay every item, then send an itemised breakdown showing exactly how the figure was reached.
- Decide. Say yes and the money is sent by Faster Payments. Say no and your items come straight back, free and insured.
How we value what you send
Every offer is built from three measurable facts: confirmed purity, accurate weight, and the live precious-metal market rate on the day we assess your items. You see each figure in a written breakdown before you decide anything. See how we value gold and XRF testing explained for the full method.
Bullion is the cleanest thing to value. Each piece is weighed and XRF-assayed to confirm the fineness, then valued against the live spot rate for that metal on the day. Because bullion is high-purity, the offer tracks the live market closely.
Postage, tracking and cover
Royal Mail Special Delivery cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used. Every parcel uses Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed, tracked from the counter to our door, signed for on arrival, and arranged with that compensation cover. For anything you think exceeds it, contact us first; we will arrange a suitable approach rather than leave a parcel underprotected. The detail sits on postage and insurance and is it safe to post gold?.
Changing your mind is free
Declining costs you nothing. If the written offer does not suit you, say so, and your items come straight back by tracked, insured Royal Mail post at our expense. No fee, no questions, no chasing. See what happens if I decline the offer for the step by step.
Who this helps
This suits investors and stackers releasing part of a holding, people who have inherited a mix of bars and bullion coins, and anyone who wants a documented, XRF-confirmed sale by post rather than carrying valuables to a counter.

Common questions
Do I need the original packaging or assay cards?
No. We pay for confirmed metal content, not packaging. Bars and coins are accepted with or without their original cards and cases.
Can I sell a high-value bullion holding by post?
Yes. Message us before posting and we will confirm the right postal and cover approach for the value, including splitting items across more than one parcel where appropriate.
What if I decline the offer?
Your bullion is returned to you free of charge by tracked, insured Royal Mail post. There is no fee for declining and no follow-up pressure.
