How selling gold from Wolverhampton by post works

GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal gold and silver buyer. We do not run a shop or branch in Wolverhampton, 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 WV-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.

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 Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton sits in the West Midlands area. People selling gold from Wolverhampton 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.

Valued on fact, not estimate

Your valuation rests on three things we can measure. An XRF assay confirms the purity, a calibrated scale records the weight, and the live precious-metal rate on the day sets the price. It is all shown to you in writing first. XRF testing explained covers how the assay works.

We do not guarantee a value before inspection. The firm offer reflects inspection, weight, confirmed purity, hallmarks, stones, non-precious-metal components, condition and the live market. Treat any figure shown elsewhere on the site as indicative only.

Posting gold from a WV-postcode: how the next 24 hours go

The WV postcode area covers Wolverhampton and the surrounding West Midlands 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.

Getting it here safely

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. 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 cover.

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.

How payment reaches you

Accept the offer and the money is sent by Faster Payments within one working hour of acceptance, 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 it take from Wolverhampton?

Royal Mail Special Delivery from Wolverhampton normally reaches us the next working day. We assess, XRF-test and weigh your items on arrival and email the written offer the same day. If you accept, payment is sent by Faster Payments within one working hour.

Can I ask questions before I post anything?

That is how most enquiries start. Send a photo on WhatsApp, or call. We will talk you through the assay, the postal cover and what happens if you decide against the offer, all before anything is posted.

How is the Royal Mail cover arranged?

Every label is Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed, tracked end to end and signed for on delivery. 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. For items you think may exceed that, contact us before posting and we will confirm the right option.

What happens if I do not accept the offer?

Your items are returned to you free of charge by tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post. There is no fee, no pressure and no obligation to accept.

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.
