Gold Valuations
Providing the final valuation does not differ by more or less than 10% of our initial quotation, payment will be automatically made using the customer's preferred payment method.
If however the final valuation differs by more or less than 10% of the initial quote, authorisation will be sought before payment is made.
Scrap Gold Buyers Ltd reserves the right to return gold to the customer.
Gold Testing
It is important to note the items may become tarnished where testing takes place.
Such tarnishing is however superficial and can be polished out.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to scrape a very small sample of metal from the item.
If this occurs, we will always do our best to ensure this is done on an area of the item that is not usually visible.
If, following testing, we determine an item is not gold, it will be returned to the customer using Royal Mail Recorded Delivery.
