Some of the best buy-in prices on the market
We offer a fully insured, door to door service for any value and quantity of bullion gold, silver or platinum bullion. We arrange a trusted courier to pick up from your front door and deliver everything next day to our offices in Blackpool. This service is fully tracked and signed for and you can rest assured the whole investment value is insured. After you inform us what you would like to sell, we will provide an estimate of delivery costs and remind you that you have the option to fix when your parcel is collected by the courier, (if you wish, we can even hold your parcel for up to a week before you agree to fix). Following this agreement of when you wish to fix, we will post out a tamper proof box, shipping label, packing instructions that are easy to follow and book a courier to collect at your convenience. All we ask is that you provide an AM (8am - 12pm) / PM (12pm - 5pm) window you are happy to wait in for collection.
The whole process takes 3 or 5 working days and you can expect payment as soon as we check the coins / bars for authenticity and quantity quoted.
This service s is perfect should you have very large quantities of gold or silver (such as monster boxes) or should you live too far away to justify driving. Or you'd simply prefer to do things by post.
Postage Costs
Postage costs of £60 (+ insurance) are for domestic UK parcels up to 10kg on a next day weekday service. For smaller values under £2,500, you can also opt for Royal Mail Special Delivery. It has a low price and offers excellent insurance value levels. Again, we can arrange this with you once you've spoken to one of our team.

Royal Mail or Distance Buy In - Which Service to Use?
For smaller values (up to about £2,500), it is still quicker and easier to use Royal Mail Special Delivery. For example, using multiple postings of 2 or 3 packets can provide insurance cover up to £5,000, £7,500 and so on.
Our distance buy-in service is more expensive for these amounts, but comes into its own for higher values, and possibly heavier, bulkier consignments.
Some of our customers use our distance buy-in service for smaller values for convenience, regardless of costs. We give both options when we communicate with customers and let them decide, so any preferences will be accommodated.
For more information on selling options, please contact us via e-mail on [email protected]
Visiting Us At Harrowside Or Hatton Garden
Just because we offer a buy-in service doesn't mean we don’t want to meet our customers! We have been buying and selling in person for years and more recently in our Hatton Garden showroom, which offers customers who are closer to London and the home counties a convenient location to buy or sell bullion.
Any Quantity and Value
We will offer to buy anything that comes into our showroom and will always make an offer. We have an appetite and the bank balances to support large buy-ins and with such an established name in the industry, you can be sure of an honest, ethical and professional experience.
How Much Does it Cost?
Postage is calculated as follows:
- Incoming postage charge to Chards is a fee of £60 and then an addition £1 for every £1000 in value. This applies to parcels up to a 10kg limit. For any weights above this please get in touch on [email protected] for a custom quote.
-
Our return postage costs back to you in the event you don’t accept our offer can be found on our dedicated postage page on our website (if you cannot access the web please call 01253 343081).
