Is it safe to post gold in the UK?

It's completely natural to feel cautious about posting valuable items through the mail. After all, gold jewellery can be worth hundreds or even thousands of pounds. The good news is that reputable postal gold services have robust security measures in place to protect your items from the moment you seal the envelope to the moment payment lands in your account.

Fully insured from door to door

When you use a professional postal gold service like The Gold Company, every item you send is fully insured during transit. Our selling packs include insurance cover of up to £750 as standard, with additional cover available for higher-value items. This means that in the unlikely event anything goes wrong during delivery, you're fully protected. You won't lose a penny.

Tracked delivery at every stage

Every pack is sent using Royal Mail's tracked delivery service, which means you can monitor your parcel's journey from the moment you drop it off at the post office to the moment it arrives at our secure facility. You'll receive tracking updates so you always know exactly where your items are. This transparency is a key part of what makes the process trustworthy.
