How much does Post Gold for Cash pay per gram?
Post Gold for Cash doesn't show a clear price per gram they actually pay for each gold purity on its website. The only way to find out their rate is to send your gold in and wait for an offer.
The one figure we can point to is from the independent test above: 77% of the gold's spot value in September 2025. That's better than some postal buyers we've tested, but it's still short of the mark.
As a general guide, we think a buyer should pay at least 90% of the spot value of your gold. We publish the prices we pay every day, alongside the live market rate, and you can check our 9ct gold price per gram right now. That way you know exactly what you'll receive before you sell.
Post Gold for Cash reviews
Post Gold for Cash advertises a Trustpilot rating of 4.7 out of 5, and says it has served over 300,000 customers. Many people are happy with the service, so it's worth understanding what a review score does and doesn't tell you.
A positive review usually reflects a smooth experience: a free pack that arrives quickly, and fast payment once you accept. Those things matter, and they're good to see.
What a review score can't tell you is whether each customer got a fair price for their gold. Most people selling gold have no simple way to know what their items were truly worth on the day. So a five-star review is often about speed and service, not the amount paid.
It's worth reading the critical reviews too, not just the average score. Among the 1-star reviews on Trustpilot, the most common theme is the size of the offer. One reviewer who sent 190 grams of silver said they were offered £150 when they had expected at least £190. Others describe valuations coming back below what they believed their items were worth.
A few reviewers also mention delays in hearing back after posting their items, and one said they were asked to pay to return items found to have no precious metal value, despite the site advertising free returns. Most reviews are positive, but reading the 1-star reviews gives you the fuller picture.
That's why we test buyers against the live spot price instead. In the independent test above, Post Gold for Cash paid 77% of the spot value, below the 90% threshold we suggest every seller should aim to achieve. When you read the reviews, keep that in mind, and always compare the actual figure against an independent quote.
Is Post Gold for Cash legit?
Yes, Post Gold for Cash is a real, registered business. It is a trading name of 2 Kings Ltd, a UK company registered with Companies House (number 07970890), and the company is active. Its registered office is in Poole, Dorset, and the brand has been trading online since 2009.
It's worth knowing that an earlier company that traded under the Post Gold for Cash name, Postgoldforcash Limited (company number 05900919), was dissolved on 13 May 2026. The website today is run by 2 Kings Ltd, which is the active company behind the service.
Being a genuine, registered company doesn't tell you whether you'll get a fair price, though. There is no high street branch where you can sell your gold face-to-face, and you have to post your items in before you receive a valuation or offer. That's why we'd always suggest getting an independent written valuation first. If you'd rather sell in person, we have branches in Royal Wootton Bassett and Bodmin.
Post Gold for Cash phone number
Post Gold for Cash lists its customer service number as 0871 716 8805. This is a premium-rate number. Their own website states that calls cost 10p per minute at all times, and that costs from mobiles may vary.
A premium-rate 0871 number is unlikely to be included in any inclusive minutes from your phone provider, so you may be charged to call them. Their postal address is a PO Box in Bournemouth (PO Box 9000, Bournemouth, BH4 0GW).
If you'd like a breakdown of an offer, ask for the weight, purity, and price per gram for each item. A reputable buyer should be happy to provide this. If they can't, we'd suggest asking for your items back.
Why we're campaigning for price transparency
Postal gold buyers are free to advertise "great prices" and "top prices" without publishing the rates they actually pay. That's because the UK's precious metals buying market has no consumer protection rules at all.
We believe that's wrong, and we're doing something about it. Gold Traders is leading a campaign calling on Parliament to regulate the precious metals buying market.
Among our proposals is mandatory price transparency before any transaction takes place. We also want every postal buying service to give sellers a specific written indication of the rate they can realistically expect to be paid, before they're asked to send their items, and to guarantee the free return of all items if an offer is declined.
None of this would change how we operate, because we already do it. We simply believe every seller deserves the same honesty, whoever they sell to.
