Start with a question, not a parcel
The first step is a conversation, not a commitment. Send a photo of your gold or silver on WhatsApp, or call, and you will get an honest quick indicative figure and a straight answer to anything you want to ask. You decide what happens next.
Because GoldPaid works entirely by post across the UK, you do all of this from home, in your own time. No shop, no queue, and nobody watching over your shoulder while you think.
Weston-super-Mare in context, and what we tend to receive from here
Weston-super-Mare is the largest of the North-Somerset coastal towns, sitting inside the BS postcode area shared with Bristol. The town has a long-running Victorian resort and retirement economy, and the household jewellery legacy in private hands tends toward inherited mid-twentieth-century pieces alongside holiday-bought items.
Probate parcels from older Weston retired households often include fine pieces alongside scrap; we flag any antique-grade piece separately on the written offer rather than rolling it into the metal-content figure.
The process, step by step
- Get in touch and show us. A WhatsApp photo of your gold or silver 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.
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.
A Weston-super-Mare BS-postcode parcel from the North-Somerset coast
Weston-super-Mare sits on the North-Somerset coast inside the Royal Mail BS postcode area shared with Bristol, covering the town centre out through Worle, Uphill, Milton and Locking. Special Delivery handles any BS postcode on the standard next-working-day route into our address.
BS-Weston parcels often include fine inherited pieces alongside scrap, reflecting the town's long-running Victorian resort-and-retirement profile. We flag every antique-grade piece separately on the written offer rather than rolling it into the metal-content figure.
From a Weston-super-Mare counter the parcel routes overnight via the South-West regional Mail Centre to our address. The counter receipt's tracking reference is your one document for the journey; a phone photograph at the counter is enough.
Getting it here safely
Royal Mail Special Delivery cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used. We post you a Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed label: tracked end to end, signed for, and arranged with that cover per parcel. If your items are worth more, the rule is simple, message us before posting and we will sort the right approach. There is more on postage and insurance.
Declining, made simple
A quick message is all it takes to decline, and you do not need to give a reason. Your items are then returned free of charge on a tracked, insured service, with no fee and no pressure to reconsider. What happens if I decline the offer covers it fully.
How payment reaches you
Accept the offer and the money is sent by Faster Payments straight to the bank account you provide. There are no cheques, no delays of that kind, and no strings.
The proof, not the promise
Anyone can say "best price". GoldPaid does not. Instead the process is laid bare: a measured XRF assay, calibrated weighing, the live market rate, and a written breakdown you read at home before you commit to anything. The reassurance here is structural, built into how the service works, rather than asserted in a slogan.
Common questions
How long does a parcel from Weston-super-Mare take to reach you?
Royal Mail Special Delivery from any BS-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.
