Where Can I Sell My Gold Sovereign?
May 15, 2017
Posting your gold for cash is a great way to get some extra money — and the best part is, you can do it all in the comfort of your own home. But, is it safe?
Selling gold and old jewellery for cash is a great way to make some extra money before payday and declutter your house of items you no longer need or use. The internet has made it so much easier for us to sell unwanted items, allowing us to do it from the comfort of our own home.
However, we often hear the question : “is it safe to post my gold for cash?” Understandably, the idea of sending something expensive in the post can make some people nervous. However, if you choose a reputable cash for gold company, you’ll not only get a great deal on your valuables, but they will be in safe hands throughout the entire process, too.
Here are some essential questions to find out before you post gold for cash, along with how to look for a reliable and trustworthy website.
Is the Gold Insured?
If a cash for gold company doesn’t insure your valuables when you send them, do not post your gold. Royal Mail has an option for secure package insurance which specifically highlights sending gold and jewellery. In order to make you feel at ease throughout the process, Post My Gold will send you a FREE gold pack, which includes a Royal Mail secure package for you to return your gold in.
This has allowed many of our customers to relax and know they don’t need to worry about their valuables getting lost in the post.
What if I Post My Gold and Decide Not to Sell it?
If you post gold for cash but decline the cash offer, make sure it is sent back to you free of charge. You should always work with a trusted website who state that they will send your gold back to you if you decide not to accept the offer.
How Will I Receive the Payment?
Unlike in jewellers or cash for gold store, you won’t receive the payment in cash. A swifter and more secure way to receive the cash is by bank transfer. At Post My Gold, we use bank transfers as a safe way for you to receive your money. Most bank transfers take less than 24 hours, meaning you’ll receive the money much quicker than with cash, as well.
What to Look for on a Gold for Cash Website
If you still feel apprehensive about posting gold for cash, here are a few things to look out for on a Cash for Gold website to make sure it is trustworthy and genuine.
- Check Contact Details: All business websites should have contact details. This will be a phone number and business address to contact. Call the number and talk to the person on the other end. An untrustworthy website is likely to have nobody to answer the phone.
- Check English and Grammar: Look for any broken English or spelling mistakes, as this could indicate that the site is fake. A reputable website will make sure the content is grammatically correct and accurate.
- Testimonials: Does the website have testimonials from people who have previously used their service? Looking for reviews on the website or asking friends if they have used a cash for gold company is a good idea.
- Up to Date Website: An up-to-date blog and website demonstrate that the website users are active and the company is still open for business.
The best thing about posting gold for cash is that it’s accessible for anybody. If you live in a remote part of the UK without any nearby jewellers, the ability to get cash for gold online is now simple and easy.
