Do You Ship Outside the UK?
Unfortunately, we do not currently deliver outside the UK. We deliver to UK mainland addresses only. However, we may be venturing out to the international side very soon so if you are based outside the UK stay tuned for that service!
Can I Change or Cancel My Order Once Submitted?
If you would like to amend or change your order, please contact our team over the phone on 02035001111. As the goods we sell and provide are dependent on fluctuations in the market price, under the Financial Services Regulations 2004 there is no statutory right to cancel.
Therefore, you will incur a cancellation fee of £100 as well as any differences in the commodity price for the product(s) since the date of purchase. Any cancellations made after 48 hours are not possible.
Payment Questions
How Can I Pay?
We accept a range of payment methods, including cash and debit card payments.
Please note due to the strict requirements of gold bullion there may be Identification needed and requested. And if you are paying by cash there is a £5,000.00 limit per customer per annum.
Do I Need to Pay VAT?
There is no VAT on Investment Gold As of 2001, However 20% Vat is only applicable on Silver Bullion Products and Non-Bullion Products
Why is the Price Different When I Place an Order?
The prices are live spot prices therefore they will be changing every minute until you are in the 'checkout' and that if the final price you will have to pay for the product. As well as these prices are displayed in our account level form beginning from the Bronze Account which is the default account level price for every member. To enable you to see the actual price of the exact quantity desired make sure you are logged into your Gold Bank account!
Can I pay in instalments?
No, we do not accept paying in instalments all our orders need to be purchased for the full price in one transaction.
Why are the prices charged above the live market rate for gold and silver?
The global spot price for gold is based on inter-bank transfers of large numbers of London Good Delivery Bars which are 12.5 kilograms each. This price is only available to large banks and does not include any brokerage fees, transportation, storage or insurance.
Smaller bars are always sold at a premium to the London spot price to reflect the additional costs of producing and testing smaller bars. Our premiums are extremely competitive and are lowest on our larger bars.
