What you need to know:
Postal Gold are one of the biggest spending TV advertisers in this sector. They have three 30 second TV adverts and have invested heavily on Channel Five; sponsoring afternoon dramas, and on ITV; as sponsors of Dickinson’s Real Deal. This high advertising cost is reflected in the price they pay for gold.
Postal Gold offers a gold buying service which includes paying the money directly into the customer’s bank account rather than contacting the customer with a valuation or quote. This works well for customers needing cash immediately in their account but is problematic if the customer does not want to accept the offer, as they then have to transfer the payment back to Postal Gold before their gold is returned (read their customer feedback).
Criteria:
Postal Gold criteria for selling gold requires that you are at least eighteen years, a resident in the UK and that you have good and marketable title to the property.
Customer Service and Problems:
We have tested Postal Gold and found the gold buying process takes longer than average and when we compare gold prices their offers are far lower than the average gold price paid.
Overall:
Their process of sending payment directly in the customer’s account before contacting them with a valuation lacks transparency and above all else their gold prices offered are FAR lower than that of the competition. Postal Gold is not a recommended Gold Buyer.
