Ask before you post, always

Devizes in context, and what we tend to receive from here
Devizes is a long-established Wiltshire market town inside the SN postcode area, with a deep market-and-canal-trade history. Private household jewellery flow here reflects a long-settled rural-Wiltshire demographic with a steady stock of inherited mid-twentieth-century pieces.
Older Wiltshire-market-town probate parcels often arrive with mixed-carat items in a single batch; each item is sorted by XRF measurement and the offer separates each carat at its own rate.
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. 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: 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, insured post.
Valued on fact, not estimate
Your valuation rests on what can actually be measured: the purity an XRF assay confirms, the weight a calibrated scale records, and the live precious-metal rate at the time of assessment. It is all shown to you in writing first. XRF testing explained covers how the assay works.
Posting from a Devizes SN-postcode in the Wiltshire market belt
Devizes sits inside the Royal Mail SN postcode area, covering the town centre out through Roundway, Potterne, Bromham and Rowde. Special Delivery handles any SN postcode on the standard next-working-day clock into our address.
SN-Devizes probate parcels often arrive mixed-carat in a single batch from older market-town households. Each piece is XRF-tested individually and the written offer separates each carat at its own per-gram rate so the value is clearly priced line by line.
From a Devizes counter the parcel routes overnight to our address. The thirteen-character tracking reference on the counter receipt is your single document; photograph it at the counter and the chain on your side is closed.
How your parcel is protected
Royal Mail Special Delivery 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 insurance for the full picture.
If you decide not to sell
There is never any obligation to accept. If the offer is not for you, simply decline, and we return everything free of charge by tracked, insured post, with no fee and no follow-up pressure. The full return process is on what happens if I decline the offer.
Being paid
If you accept, payment follows by Faster Payments, 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 insured 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 a parcel from Devizes take to reach you?
Royal Mail Special Delivery from any SN-postcode address normally reaches our address the next working morning. We weigh and XRF-assay your items the same day, and the written offer is emailed back to you within working hours of arrival.
Can I ask questions before I post anything?
Yes, and we recommend it. Message us on WhatsApp or call, ask anything about the items, the cover, the testing process, or the return route if you decline. Nothing has to be posted until you are satisfied with the answers.
How is the parcel cover arranged?
The label we send is Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed, fully tracked and signed for, covered up to £2,500 as standard. If your items may exceed that figure, send a rough total weight beforehand and we will arrange the appropriate higher-cover level before any label is issued.
What happens if I do not accept the offer?
Your items are returned to you free of charge by tracked, signed-for Royal Mail Special Delivery. There is no fee, no pressure and no obligation to accept. You keep the XRF certificate and written offer as a record of what your gold is worth.
