Post Gold For Cash

Dealing with Gold Monkeys was very straight forward. They have a simple website and we received one simple letter to complete and send back. The selling pack itself was pretty basic and didn't ask how we prefer to be contacted but it was good to see a Whatsapp option (although we didn't use it).

Gold Monkeys were the first to contact us back, responding very early upon receiving the gold and made us a good offer of £186.15 plus a £10 'bonus' for sending the gold back quickly (despite us taking a week to return the gold).
We had two other calls from Gold Monkeys and eventually managed to increase their offer to a final total of £203.56.

We sold our gold and received our cheque within two days.

Gold Monkeys

This was a horrible pack! We received one basic letter which mentioned nothing about them as a company and didn't talk about what they buy and why we should choose them. The letter and pack sent to us didn't match the website as the name and logo are different - we had to double check who we'd ordered a pack from.

To add to the lack of trust, the email received came from an address which didn't match either and we had to work things back to the original website by checking the phone number. When it comes to earning trust online, this company really didn't inspire us. The original offer was in line with the rest of the market (£179.13) but when asked if they could improve the offer, it was increased by a measly 87p to £180.00.

We sold our gold and received a cheque within two days.

*Returns subject to £15 cost for P&P plus up to £20 for time spent testing consignment
**Payment speed dependent on choice of method: 2hrs (FPS), 2 days (cheque), 4 days (bank transfer)

When you order a gold selling pack, it will come from a company called Gold Converter. Sadly, there is no mention of the website which makes things very confusing indeed! Who am I selling my gold to and can I trust them? 

The letter received was very basic and looked like no time has been spent designing it, again making the service feel cheap and unprofessional. On the plus side, a bubble wrap bag was included to help protect the items sent.
We received our first offer a day after they received it (and after other gold buyers we tested) which came in at a disappointing £120.00. We declined this offer and spoke to them again a day later where the offer was upped to £142.00.

We declined their offer and had our gold sent back to us within two days.

*£25 charged if no precious items received. FREE returns if unsold.
**Payments can be made in 2 hours

Cash 4 Gold

We received a generic letter with no personalisation which made completing the form that much longer compared to the other gold buyers. After sending off our gold, we weren't called and were only sent an email with a very small offer (only £89.14) which was significantly lower than all of the other gold buyers we contacted, almost 50% less!

They did then up their offer significantly on second contact to £127.34 (nearly 50% increase on their first one!) however, this was still a long way short of the others.

We decided to have our gold returned due to the low price offered and it arrived within 2 days of our request.

*Should you choose not to sell your items, returns not subject to a fee.
