How Mail-In Gold Works

Selling gold by mail should not be a mystery. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you request an estimate to the moment your wire or check goes out — every step insured, tracked, and opened on camera by a licensed Florida pawnbroker.

Step 1 — Tell us what you have

Start with the Mail-In Gold estimate form. Tell us what you are sending, pick the karat (or "Not sure"), enter the approximate weight — a kitchen or postal scale is fine — and snap a few photos. Your estimated cash offer appears instantly at live gold prices — we publish our payout of up to 90% of melt value, so the math is on your screen before you ship anything. We need that description and approximate weight before we send your free insured kit, so the shipment is covered properly. The exact karat and weight are confirmed when we test and weigh everything on camera on arrival.

Step 2 — Get your free insured shipping label

We review your request (usually the same day) and email you a prepaid, fully-insured FedEx label with simple packing instructions. You pay nothing to ship. Details on what the label covers are on the free shipping label page.

Step 3 — Pack and ship safely

• Use a plain, sturdy box inside a second box — never write "gold" or "jewelry" on the outside.
• Drop the package at a staffed FedEx location and keep your receipt.
• Your items are insured up to $50,000 from the second FedEx scans the package until it reaches our vault. More on the insurance page.

Step 4 — We open it on camera

Every package is opened, weighed, and tested on camera. This protects you and us: there is a recording of exactly what arrived and what it tested as. Curious how the testing works? See how we test gold.

Step 5 — Your offer, within 24 hours of arrival

We email or text your offer within 24 hours of your package arriving. The offer shows what your items weighed and tested at, priced at live market gold — no vague "top dollar" promises, just the numbers.

Step 6 — Get paid the same day, or get it all back free

Accept, and your same-day wire transfer or check goes out — see payment options. Decline, and we return everything free, fully insured, no questions asked. You risk nothing by getting an offer.

The timeline at a glance

Shipping from anywhere in Florida

We are a Florida gold buyer first. If you are in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples, Fort Myers, Tallahassee or Pensacola, the process above is identical — the only difference is speed. A package dropped at a Florida FedEx location usually reaches our Pompano Beach vault the next morning, so most Florida sellers have an offer within two business days of shipping. You are dealing with a licensed Florida pawnbroker at a street address you can look up, not an out-of-state mailbox. Close enough to drive? Sell gold in person in Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale or Miami.
