Bullion By Post

In just over a decade, ordering bullion by post has become a much more commonplace option within the industry, offering people an easy, convenient way to invest in precious metals from the comfort of their home. Online bullion dealers can offer a wider range of stock without the need of a single storefront.

As with all online buying however, there are some important things to consider before making any purchase that can keep you safe and ensure you get the most out of your money. Below we discuss the various merits of ordering bullion by post, and why GOLD.co.uk is the place to buy from.

Why buy bullion by post?

Investing your money in any asset is always a big step, and one not taken lightly. Having taken the time to decide to invest in precious metals, choosing the right service for you is essential. There are many reasons why you might choose to buy your bullion by post rather than visiting a store.

Convenience is of course one of the things that first comes to mind. The ability to order bullion online, and then have it delivered straight to your door is appealing in an increasingly busy world. Rather than dedicating significant travel time and expense to visit a store, you can simply order online as you would with many other websites, and then wait for your bullion to arrive.

With financial volatility only increasing in recent years, time is money, and ordering at the right time can make a big difference in how much your investment costs. The GOLD.co.uk website is online 24/7, every day of the year, allowing you to secure your metal when you’re ready, rather than hoping the price is still favourable when visiting your local store.

For large-scale investors, or those ordering silver, getting your bullion through the post is almost essential, as the practicalities of travelling with large amounts of precious metals can become difficult, and potentially unsafe.

Is ordering bullion by post safe?

Ordering bullion by post is certainly safe, with thousands of our customers safely receiving their goods every week. Whenever ordering online there are of course some key things to keep an eye out for.

Ordering bullion through the post should only be done with a reputable dealer, or an individual with a very good reputation. While it can be tempting to look for bargains on online auctions or marketplaces these often have weaker regulations, and if it looks too good to be true it likely is. Even if a seller believes they are selling a genuine item, their inexperience could mean they are making a mistake and selling something fake or at a vastly inflated price.

If you are ordering precious metals online to be posted to you, it is best to stick with a dealer who has a good reputation, both as a retailer and as an expert in the products they are selling. At GOLD.co.uk our team have years of experience with precious metals, and we have an excellent reputation within the industry. You can find our independent customer reviews on eKomi and Trustpilot and always recommend carrying out similar research for anyone you intend to shop with.

Another way to ensure the safe delivery of bullion by post is via discreet packaging. All of our parcels are completely unbranded, with no mention of the contents on the outside. We even use an anonymous PO box for our return address to further remove any links from our company and the parcel.

Last, but by no means least, is using insured delivery. Even the best delivery company can occasionally lose a parcel in very rare cases, so insured delivery is a must when ordering bullion through the post. At GOLD.co.uk we insure all parcels we send out for the peace of mind of our customers. Orders over £150 also get full tracking so customers know when to expect the parcel, and we can even arrange a day that’s convenient for you to be in if ordering over the phone.
