Planning the drive down from McHenry
It's a long trip, so a little planning makes it count:
- The route: from downtown McHenry, take Route 120 west to Route 31 south, continue south through Crystal Lake and Algonquin, then follow Randall Rd south through the Fox Valley. From Randall Rd, take Orchard Rd to US-30 east, exit toward Douglas Rd and turn left. Tap Get Directions for every turn.
- Expect traffic lights. Randall Rd is the slow stretch, so give yourself the full hour and 45 minutes.
- Bring it all in one trip. Tangled chains, single earrings and anything you can't identify can all come along.

Rather not drive? How long selling by mail takes
If the trip doesn't work, here's what to expect from the day you request a kit:
- Day one: request your kit. A print kit is ready right away, and an email kit goes to your inbox. A physical kit usually takes 3 to 5 days to reach you.
- Packing: when you're ready. Put your pieces in as they are and drop the package off. There's no need to clean or sort anything.
- In transit: about 2 to 3 days. Your package travels by FedEx with free, protected shipping.
- Arrival: testing and your offer. We test and weigh everything once it arrives, then send an offer grouped by karat.
- Your answer, then payment. Say yes and we send your payment. Say no and everything is returned at our expense.
If you can print at home, the print kit saves the most time. For a fuller walkthrough, read our step-by-step look at selling by mail.
