Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 50 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that the service is exceptionally fast and professional, with payments transferred directly into bank accounts within minutes of accepting an offer. People also appreciate the convenient prepaid postal packs and the polite communication provided by the team throughout the entire transaction. However, some reviewers were not happy with the valuations, feeling that the initial cash offers were far too low compared to expected market values. A few other people also felt that negotiating prices was frustrating when receiving lower quotes than anticipated for their items. Some customers noted challenges when trying to resolve discrepancies regarding their item valuations.

No offer received

Item returned 24/12/24 @ 10:42am and no offer received. No way to contact via email to find out what has happened. Extremely disappointing considering it was a high-value item.

Update 1: Email sent to TGC with further details to chase up (27/12/24)

Update 2: Email of apology received - still awaiting offer (30/12/24)

Hi,

Unfortunately, timing was the issue here. As seen through the other reviews on our Trustpilot, we aways make offers on the day items are received, where customers are contactable, and this applies throughout the year. However, our office closed (as was stated on our website) on Christmas Eve and therefore, we were unable to value your items. Your package is safely stored and will be appraised on the 2nd of January, so this was literally the only day of the year that this situation could occur and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

Kind Regards,
The Gold Company

Second time experience

Very easy to contact them to request a pack. Very quick turnaround. Staff are very friendly and polite. Very fair prices. Will be using again for the 3rd time soon.
Thanks to Evelina.

Hi Mr Russell, we've looked at this and we can't find any record of a transaction with you, however on an assumption that you have sent us your items and we returned them, this would be due to the value of your items being below our threshold.
By all means, if you could give us a call on 0800 124 4759, we will be happy to investigate this further.

Kind Regards,
The Gold Company

Nearly £600 paid out! Amazing 🤩

Quick, efficient and trustworthy experience. I had thought about trading in some broken gold jewellery for a while but was concerned about being scammed. After hearing an advert on the radio for The Gold Company I haven’t looked back. All done in 2 days and was amazed the amount of money I got for BROKEN jewellery. Money transferred whilst I was on the phone to them. Brilliant service and great cash injection just before Christmas.

Fantastic service if you are looking to sell your valuables

I had some broken jewellery that had just been sitting in my jewellery box for years, so thought I would see what it was worth. The pack arrived the very next day, sent my gold back and the day it was received, I got a text with my valuation and my payment was made within 10 minutes of accepting it. Fantastically quick service and good communication throughout. I would highly recommend this company.

Impressive service

Day 1: I requested a pack
Day 2: I received and returned pack, containing my unwanted items
Day 3: In the afternoon I received a phone call informing me how much was being offered. I was very happy to accept the offer and provided my bank details. The money was in my account instantly, it took approximately 3 minutes. Everything was as advertised and I’m couldn’t be happier with the experience. Can highly recommend and I would use this company again.
