How Our Postal Gold Valuation Works
At PostMyGold, we provide a secure, transparent postal route for UK residents to sell scrap gold, bullion, and hallmarked jewellery at live market rates:
Live LBMA Pricing: Valuations are calculated directly against London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) spot prices per gram across all standard purities (9ct / 37.5%, 14ct / 58.5%, 18ct / 75.0%, 22ct / 91.6%, and 24ct fine gold).
Insured Royal Mail Transport: Every prepaid Gold Pack includes Royal Mail Special Delivery tracking, fully insured up to £2,500 per shipment.
Fast Payment Settlement: Once our certified assessors verify purity via non-destructive XRF testing, payment is dispatched via direct bank transfer within 24 hours of receipt.
