How selling gold from Wrexham by post works
GoldPaid is a UK-wide postal gold and silver buyer. We do not run a shop or branch in Wrexham, and we do not need to. The whole process is built so you never have to travel, never have to commit before you are ready, and never have to accept an offer you are not happy with.
Here is exactly how it works from a LL-postcode address:
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.
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.
Who sells gold from Wrexham
Wrexham sits in the Wales area, and a meaningful share of customers from this area are clearing inherited jewellery, settling estates, or simply selling pieces they no longer wear after a house move or downsize.
The items we most commonly receive from Wrexham are inherited and family-passed jewellery, broken chains and single earrings, plain wedding and signet bands, charm bracelets, gold sovereigns and pre-decimal coins, hallmarked silver tea services and silver cutlery, and the occasional bullion bar or commemorative coin set.
How we value what you send
Every offer is built from three measurable facts: confirmed purity, accurate weight, and the live precious-metal market rate on the day we assess your items. You see each figure in a written breakdown before you decide anything. See how we value gold and XRF testing explained for the full method.
Posting gold from a LL-postcode: how the next 24 hours go
The LL postcode area covers Wrexham and the surrounding Wales 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, take a photograph of it before you leave. That photo, in practical terms, is the single document that protects you between the moment the parcel leaves your hand and the moment our written offer arrives in your inbox.
Postage and cover
Royal Mail Special Delivery cover may be available up to £2,500 depending on the postal method and cover level used. The label we send is Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed: tracked end to end, signed for on delivery, and arranged with that compensation cover per parcel. If you believe your items are worth more, message us before posting and we will arrange the right approach, whether that is additional cover or splitting items across more than one parcel. Full detail is on postage and insurance, and is it safe to post gold? walks through posting valuables safely.
If the offer is not for you
Then nothing happens except a free return. We send your items back by tracked, insured 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.
The payment step
Acceptance triggers payment: a direct bank transfer by Faster Payments, to the account you give us. Nothing to bank and nothing to chase.

Common questions
How long does it take from Wrexham?
From a Wrexham 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 that typically clears in minutes.
Can I ask questions before I post anything?
Absolutely. The first step is a question, not a parcel. Send a WhatsApp photo or call with any concern, the items, the postal cover, the XRF method, the return if you decline, and only post when you have the answers you want.
How is the Royal Mail cover arranged?
Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed. That is the cover. The parcel is tracked the whole way and the Royal Mail compensation tier is up to £2,500. Anything you think exceeds that threshold should be flagged in WhatsApp before you post.
What happens if I do not accept the offer?
Nothing happens to your items if you decline. They are returned, free of charge, by tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post. No fee, no pressure, no follow-up.
