How selling gold from Tunbridge Wells by post works

GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal gold and silver buyer. We do not run a shop or branch in Tunbridge Wells, 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 TN-postcode 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 selling works here

  • Start on WhatsApp. A couple of clear photos of your gold or silver are enough for us to give you a quick indicative figure at no charge.
  • Claim your free postage. We issue a prepaid, tracked, signed-for Royal Mail Special Delivery label, or a QR code for the Post Office.
  • Post in your own time. Any padded envelope works, and there is no deadline to meet.
  • Get a written valuation. Each item is weighed on calibrated scales and read by XRF spectrometry, and the itemised offer is sent to you in writing, usually on the working day your parcel arrives.
  • Accept or walk away. Acceptance means payment by Faster Payments; declining means a free, fully tracked return.

What we can check from your photos

Clear photos tell us a surprising amount before your gold or silver leaves the house. They are how we reach a sensible quick indicative figure, and how we flag anything worth knowing before you post.

  • Hallmarks and assay marks. A close photo of a hallmark usually shows two useful things: the mark of the assay office that tested the piece, and the fineness. Fineness is the purity number, and it tells us whether an item is 9, 18 or 22 carat gold, or sterling silver.
  • Carat and fineness stamps. Numbers such as 375, 750, 916 or 925 stamped on a clasp or band help confirm the metal before testing.
  • Approximate weight. A photo next to a coin or a ruler gives a rough sense of size and weight, which feeds the indicative figure.
  • Solid or plated. Wear at edges, a worn-through base metal, or marks like "GP", "rolled gold" or "EPNS" usually indicate plating rather than solid precious metal. We will tell you honestly if an item looks plated.
  • Stones and non-gold parts. Set stones, clasps, springs, watch movements and base-metal fittings are not precious metal, so we account for them separately. A photo helps us explain how they affect the figure.
A photo can only ever support an indicative figure. Final offers depend on inspection, item weight, purity, hallmarks, stones, non-gold components, condition and the live precious-metal market. The firm offer is set only after an XRF assay confirms your specific items. The gold hallmark guide explains what the marks mean.

Who sells gold from Tunbridge Wells

Tunbridge Wells sits in the Kent area. People selling gold from Tunbridge Wells 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 TN-postcode: how the next 24 hours go

The TN postcode area covers Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding Kent 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.

Postage, tracking and cover

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. 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 cover and is it safe to post gold?.

No obligation, ever

You are free to walk away at any point before you accept. Decline the offer and everything is repacked and returned to you free of charge, fully tracked and signed for. There is no assessment fee and no sales pressure afterwards. The detail is on what happens if I decline the offer.

Getting paid

Once you accept your written offer, payment is made by bank transfer using Faster Payments within one working hour of acceptance, directly to your account. No cheques to wait on, no conditions attached.

What backs the offer up

  • XRF spectrometry on every item, not a counter estimate
  • A written, itemised breakdown before you decide anything
  • Free tracked postage in, free tracked return out
  • No countdowns, no pressure, no fabricated reviews
  • An owner-run business whose founder, Rocco Clayfield, answers questions himself

Common questions

How long does it take from Tunbridge Wells?

From a Tunbridge Wells 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.
