What happens if I decline the offer

Selling to GoldPaid is never one-way. If our offer is not for you, declining is simple, free, and final. Your items come straight back to you, fully tracked and signed for.

What happens if I decline a postal gold offer?Everything is repacked and returned free of charge on tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post, with the tracking details sent to you. There is no assessment fee, no return postage charge and no follow-up pressure, and no reason needs to be given. GoldPaid builds the free return in deliberately, because a valuation means little if walking away costs you something. Allow a day or two for the return journey.

The short answer

If you decline, we return everything to you free of charge by tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post. There is no assessment fee, no return postage charge, and no follow-up sales pressure. The valuation is genuinely no-obligation. You only sell if the written offer works for you.

You see a full written breakdown, confirmed purity, weight, the rate used, and the offer, all of it before you are asked to decide anything. Declining costs you nothing.

Step by step, when you decline

  • You receive your written offer. After your items are weighed and XRF-tested, we send an itemised offer. Take whatever time you need. There is no countdown.
  • You tell us no. A message on WhatsApp or a quick call is all it takes. You do not need to give a reason.
  • We pack your items securely. Everything you sent is repacked carefully and kept identifiable as yours throughout. Your items are not pooled with anyone else's.
  • We post them back, tracked and signed for. Your return travels on tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post, signed for on delivery. We send you the tracking details so you can follow the parcel home.
  • That is the end of it. No fee is charged and there is no further contact unless you get back in touch.

Why we make declining this easy

A valuation is only meaningful if you are free to walk away from it. Building the return into the service, free, tracked and signed for, is what makes the offer honest. It also means you can compare our written, XRF-backed figure against anyone else with nothing to lose.

If something about the offer is unclear, ask before you decide. We will talk you through exactly how the figure was reached, see how we value gold for the full method.

How your return is protected

Returns are sent the same way parcels come in to us: on a tracked, signed-for Royal Mail service with transit cover. The same care applies, see postage and cover for how cover works, and how we handle your parcel for what happens between your parcel arriving and your decision.

If you accept instead

If the offer does work for you, simply accept and payment is made by bank transfer using Faster Payments, directly to your account, once you accept. Either way, the choice is entirely yours.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to decline?

No. Declining is completely free. There is no assessment fee, no return postage charge and no admin fee. Your items are sent back to you at our cost.

How are my items returned?

By tracked, signed-for Royal Mail post, packed securely. You receive the tracking details so you can follow the parcel back to you, and a signature is required on delivery.

What if my returned items are worth more than £2,500?

Return cover works the same way as the journey to us. If your consignment arrived split across more than one parcel, it goes back the same way: each return parcel travels on its own tracked, signed-for label within its own cover, and you receive every tracking number.

How long do I have to decide?

There is no countdown and no pressure. We hold your items safely until you tell us your decision. If you need time to think or to compare, that is fine.

Will you keep contacting me if I say no?

No. If you decline, we arrange your return and that is the end of it. There is no follow-up sales pressure.
