Request My Free Kit →Securely pack your items in a small box or padded envelope. For the best protection, we recommend:
Drop your package at any FedEx location nationwide. Once FedEx scans your package, you'll receive automatic email updates as it travels to our secure evaluation facility in Montgomery, Illinois.
When your package arrives, our team processes it the same day with full documentation:
You'll receive your offer by email and text message — usually within 24 hours of us receiving your package. The offer is clearly broken down so you can see exactly what you're being paid for.

MailGoldOnline is operated from a physical evaluation facility in Montgomery, Illinois. We're not a faceless online operation — we're a real, established precious metals buyer with a verifiable business address.
Every package we receive is photographed before opening and again after contents are documented. This creates a verifiable record protecting both you and us throughout the evaluation process.
While many mail-in gold buyers take days or weeks to send offers, we process most evaluations within 24 hours of receiving your package. Accepted offers are paid quickly — often within hours via instant payment methods.
Our kit is free. Shipping is free both ways. There's no obligation to accept any offer. If you decline, your items are returned at no cost. We never use high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees.

We accept a wide range of precious metals in any condition:
Items don't need to be in perfect condition. We buy broken, tangled, missing-stone, and damaged jewelry at fair market prices based on the precious metal content.

All payments are sent directly from us. We never share your payment account information with third parties.
This is the most common question from new customers — and a fair one. Here's how we make sure your items are handled safely throughout the entire process:
Our prepaid FedEx labels don't mention "gold" or "precious metals" anywhere on the package. The contents remain confidential.
Every package shipped through our service requires an adult signature upon delivery, preventing porch theft or unauthorized delivery.
Packages are received, opened, and evaluated in a secure indoor facility with full documentation procedures.
We verify the identity of every customer before sending payment, which protects you from anyone fraudulently claiming items in your name.
You receive notifications at every step — when we receive your package, when your offer is ready, when payment is sent. Nothing happens behind the scenes.
The kit is completely free. We provide a prepaid FedEx shipping label so you pay nothing to send your items. If you decline our offer, we also pay to return your items to you.
From requesting your kit to receiving payment, most customers complete the process within 7–10 days. Print and Email kits ship the same day. Mail kits arrive within 3–5 days. Offers are issued within 24 hours of us receiving your items. Payment is sent immediately upon acceptance.
You can decline any offer with no penalty or fees. We'll package your items securely and ship them back to you at no cost via FedEx. You'll receive tracking information so you can monitor your return shipment.
Our offers are based on the current market price of the precious metal, the weight of your items, and the purity (karat) of each piece. We use professional XRF analysis to verify the actual gold, silver, platinum, or palladium content of every item. Each piece is evaluated individually.
Packages shipped through our FedEx labels include FedEx's standard liability coverage of up to $100. For items valued higher, we recommend purchasing additional shipping insurance directly through FedEx before sending. This is a standard industry practice for security reasons — declaring high values on shipping labels can attract theft.
No. There is never any obligation to accept an offer. You have 48 hours to review and decide. If you decline, we ship your items back to you free of charge.
We buy gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in nearly any form: jewelry (broken or whole), coins, bullion, scrap, dental gold, watches with precious metal content, and more.
Three key differences: (1) We operate from a real physical location in Montgomery, Illinois — not just a website. (2) We process most evaluations within 24 hours of receipt. (3) We provide multiple instant payment options like Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App that get money to you within hours rather than days or weeks.
Request your free kit today. No obligation, no hidden fees, and your items can be on the way to becoming cash within minutes.
