How selling gold from Camden by post works

GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal gold and silver buyer. We do not run a shop or branch in Camden, and we do not need to. You never have to travel. You are not committed to anything until a written offer is in front of you, and you are free to turn it down.

From a Camden address, the sequence runs like this.

Ask before you post, always

You never have to commit to anything to start. Message us on WhatsApp or call, tell us roughly what you have, and send a few clear photos for a quick indicative figure. Nothing leaves your hands until you decide it should, and there is no obligation even then.

GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal gold and silver buying service. Wherever you are, you sell gold or silver by post with a free tracked Royal Mail label. There is no shop to visit and no counter pressure.

How it works

  • Ask first and send photos. Message us on WhatsApp with photos of your gold or silver for a quick indicative figure. Ask anything; there is no charge and no obligation.
  • Request a prepaid Royal Mail label. We send a free Royal Mail Special Delivery label, tracked and signed for, usually within 30 minutes during working hours. No printer? We send a QR code for the Post Office counter.
  • Post it when you are ready. Use any padded envelope. There is no deadline and no pressure.
  • Receive a no-obligation valuation. Every item is weighed on calibrated scales and tested by XRF spectrometry. You get a written, itemised offer, usually on the working day your parcel arrives, showing purity, weight, the rate used and the figure.
  • Accept or decline. Accept and you are paid by bank transfer via Faster Payments. Decline and everything is returned free of charge by tracked, signed-for post.

Reading your items from photos

A clear set of photos of your gold or silver is enough for a useful first look. Lay items flat in good light and get close to any small stamps.

  • Hallmarks. Close shots of hallmarks reveal the assay office mark and fineness, which indicates the carat of gold or whether silver is sterling.
  • Carat stamps. Stamps such as 9ct, 18ct, 375, 750 or 925 confirm the likely metal before any testing.
  • Rough weight. Photographed beside a familiar object, items give us a fair sense of weight for the indicative figure.
  • Solid versus plated. Worn edges showing base metal, or marks such as "GP" or "EPNS", point to plating. We say so plainly rather than letting you post something of little value.
  • Stones and fittings. Stones, watch parts and base-metal clasps are valued apart from the precious metal, and a photo helps us explain that clearly.
Treat any figure from a photo as indicative. Final offers depend on inspection, item weight, purity, hallmarks, stones, non-gold components, condition and the live precious-metal market, and are confirmed only after an XRF assay. The gold hallmark guide covers what each mark means.

Who sells gold from Camden

Camden sits in the Central & North London borough network. People selling gold from Camden are typically clearing inherited jewellery, settling an estate, or simply selling pieces they no longer wear after a house move or downsize.

Most of what reaches us is ordinary household gold: inherited and family-passed jewellery, broken chains, single earrings, plain wedding and signet bands. Charm bracelets turn up regularly, as do gold sovereigns and pre-decimal coins, hallmarked silver tea services and silver cutlery. Bullion bars and commemorative coin sets are rarer, but they come through too.

The valuation, in plain terms

We do not eyeball a figure. Each item is XRF-assayed for purity and weighed on calibrated scales, then valued against the live market rate, and you see the working in writing before you decide. The method is set out in full on how we value gold.

No value is guaranteed before inspection. The written offer accounts for weight, confirmed purity, hallmarks, stones, non-precious-metal components, condition and the live precious-metal market. Anything quoted elsewhere on the site is indicative only.

Posting gold from a NW/WC-postcode: how the next 24 hours go

The NW/WC postcode area covers Camden and the surrounding Central & North London districts. A parcel handed in at any Post Office counter inside that area joins the same Royal Mail Special Delivery pipeline; Royal Mail does not run a different track based on where you post from.

Most counters accept Special Delivery up to around 5pm on weekdays. Hand the parcel in before that day's acceptance cut-off and it normally arrives with us the following working morning, signed for by 1pm. The receipt the clerk gives you carries a 13-character tracking reference. Photograph it before you leave the counter. Until our written offer lands in your inbox, that photo is your proof of what you posted and when.

How your parcel is protected

Your parcel travels on Royal Mail Special Delivery, and Royal Mail cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used. Your items travel on Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed: fully tracked, needs a signature on delivery, arranged with that compensation cover per parcel. Worth more than that? Tell us before you post, and we will either arrange extra cover or suggest splitting the items across separate parcels. See postage and cover for the full picture.

If the offer is not for you

Then nothing happens except a free return. We send your items back by tracked, signed-for post at our cost, with no fee for declining and no follow-up. A valuation is only worth having if you can turn it down freely, so you can. See what happens if I decline the offer.

Being paid

If you accept, payment follows by Faster Payments within one working hour of acceptance, transferred directly to your bank account. It is the last step, and a simple one.

Why sellers choose GoldPaid

GoldPaid is a small, owner-run UK business built on one promise: show the working. Every item is XRF-assayed and weighed on calibrated scales. Every offer is itemised in writing. Postage is free and tracked both ways, and there is never a countdown or a hard sell. If something is worth more to a specialist than to us, we say so.

Common questions

How long does it take from Camden?

From a Camden Post Office, Royal Mail Special Delivery is a next-working-day service. Items are assayed and weighed the day they arrive, the written offer is sent the same day, and acceptance triggers a Faster Payments transfer sent within one working hour.

Can I ask questions before I post anything?

Please do. The first step is a question, not a parcel. Send a photo on WhatsApp or ring us with whatever is on your mind, and post only when you have the answers you want.

How is the Royal Mail cover arranged?

Message us on WhatsApp before you post if you think the items are worth more than £2,500, and we will confirm the right option. Otherwise the label is Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed, tracked the whole way and signed for. Your parcel travels on Royal Mail Special Delivery, and Royal Mail cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used.

What happens if I do not accept the offer?

Nothing happens to your items if you decline. They go back to you free of charge, by tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post, and that is the end of it.

How should I photograph my items before posting?

Lay each item flat on a plain surface in good daylight, then take one clear overall photo and a close-up of any hallmark or carat stamp. Photographing items next to a coin or a ruler helps show their size. From those photos we can usually read hallmarks, spot carat stamps and tell whether something looks solid or plated, which is enough for a quick indicative figure on WhatsApp.

Do I need to clean or polish my gold before sending it?

No. Please send items as they are. Value comes from the weight and purity of the precious metal, not the shine, and gentle wear, tarnish or small repairs make no difference to a postal valuation. There is no need to remove stones or dismantle anything either; set stones and non-gold parts are simply accounted for separately.

Request a free prepaid Royal Mail label

Tell us where to send it. The label arrives by email, usually within about 30 minutes during working hours. Requesting one commits you to nothing: you get a written offer after the XRF assay, and if you decline, your items come back to you free.

We use these details only to post your prepaid label and to talk to you about your items. We do not sell or share them. Data controller: GOLDPAID LTD. GoldPaid is on the ICO data protection register, registration ZC214216. See our privacy policy.
