The offer was noticeably higher than the two other places I checked, which surprised me. I had a few quotes lined up before sending my old chain off and this one came out on top. The payment landed in my account a couple of days after they got the parcel and I was happy with that.
Read moreSold them a few old gold rings. The verdict is that the offer was reasonable but I'd expected something a bit higher given what the rings weighed. Price was on the lower side of what I'd been quoted elsewhere. The payment was delayed by a few days because they got in touch to check a stone.
Read moreCompared to the jewellers on the high street, which offered me a fraction of what the gold was worth, this was a much better deal. I sent in a chain and two old rings, and checked the offer against the day's price before accepting. The kit was easy to use, the parcel got there quickly and the payment came through a couple of days later. Nothing about it felt rushed or pushy, so I'd use them again.

The only thing that annoyed me was the packaging instructions, they were a bit fiddly and I had to read them twice. Payment came through quickly after they got the parcel.
Compared to the pawn shop down the road, the online process felt much less awkward, and I didn't have to queue or explain myself to anyone. The form took about ten minutes to fill in and the kit arrived quickly. The only bit that dragged was waiting for the payment reference, which took a day longer than I expected.
I've been selling bits of gold to this firm on and off for a good few years now, so I knew what to expect. The process was the same as always. The only thing I'd mention is that the payment took a day longer than I expected to reach my bank, which was a small niggle.
Sent off a broken gold bracelet I'd been keeping in a box for years. The form was a bit long and asked for more detail than I expected, but it wasn't a problem. The offer was fair and the payment reached me a few days after the parcel was delivered.
