Postal & In-Person Gold Selling

Sell Your Gold Securely — By Post or In Person.

Choose between secure Royal Mail Special Delivery or visiting a trusted HighStreetGold member near you.

The Process

How It Works

A clear, professional 5-step process — designed to feel safe whether you sell from home or in person.

  1. 01

    Get an estimated valuation

    Use the HighStreetGold valuation calculator or request a quote based on the live LBMA gold price.

  2. 02

    Choose how to sell

    Send your gold securely by post — or visit a trusted HighStreetGold member in person.

  3. 03

    Professional testing & valuation

    Your gold is tested and weighed using transparent, customer-facing methods by a qualified valuer.

  4. 04

    Receive your formal offer

    An itemised, fully transparent offer is issued. Accept it, or have your items returned free of charge.

  5. 05

    Get paid quickly

    Same working day payment by secure bank transfer once your offer is accepted.

Secure Postal Gold Service

Send your gold securely — the way you choose.

If you're happy with your valuation estimate, you can request a prepaid insured Royal Mail Special Delivery pack, or send your items independently using secure tracked delivery.

We strongly encourage the use of Royal Mail Special Delivery for valuable items, as it provides tracking and insurance for additional peace of mind.

If your valuables exceed the included insurance level, additional cover may be available directly through Royal Mail.

Prepaid insured pack

Optional Royal Mail Special Delivery pack delivered free to your door.

Secure tracked delivery

Full Royal Mail tracking from the moment your items leave your hands.

Customer-controlled insurance

Choose the cover level that suits the value of your items.

Fast professional processing

Most items are tested, valued and quoted within 24 hours of arrival.

Professional handling

Items are logged, photographed and stored securely on arrival.

You're updated at every stage — receipt, testing, valuation and payment.
