How to get cash for gold by post
If you want cash for gold without haggling at a counter, our postal service is the fastest route. Request a free recycling pack, send your gold to us with Royal Mail Special Delivery, and we assay every item by XRF, the same X-ray fluorescence method used by professional refiners, so your offer is based on exactly what your gold contains.
Your offer is calculated from the live London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) spot price and the weight and purity of your gold. Accept it and we pay you within a minute by Faster Payments, straight to your bank. No appointments, no face-to-face pressure to accept on the spot.
How we work out your cash offer
Every cash offer is built from three things: the live LBMA gold price and the exact weight and purity of your items. Gold is almost never pure. Carat tells you how much actual gold is in the alloy: 9ct is 37.5 percent gold, 14ct is 58.3 percent, 18ct is 75 percent, 22ct is 91.6 percent and 24ct is close to pure. We pay on the real gold content, so higher-carat pieces are worth more per gram.
Rather than guess from a hallmark, we assay every item by XRF, the same X-ray method professional refiners use. That reads the true precious-metal content whether a piece is hallmarked, worn or unmarked, so your offer reflects exactly what your gold contains. You see the figure before you decide, and there is never any obligation to accept.

FAQ
How fast will I be paid?
Once you accept our offer we pay by Faster Payments, which usually reaches your bank within a minute. There is no waiting for a cheque or a bank transfer to clear.
How is the cash offer calculated?
We assay your gold by XRF to confirm its purity, weigh it, and apply a percentage of the live LBMA spot price for that carat. You see today's per-gram rates in the price table above before you send anything.
Is it really free?
The recycling pack, the insured postage and the valuation are all free. If you decline the offer we return your gold to you for free, as long as your parcel contains 10g or more of precious metal; otherwise a £15 administration fee applies.
What if I decline the offer?
If you don't want to accept the offer, reply to the email or SMS or give us a call on 020 4572 1471 to discuss it. If ultimately you wish your gold to be returned to you, we can do this for free if the weight of the precious metals is greater than 10g. A £15 fee will be charged to return parcels with less than 10g of precious metals, to cover postage and administration costs.
