Frequently Asked Questions

Is buying gold a good investment? +
Gold has historically preserved wealth over long periods and acts as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. It is best viewed as a long-term store of value rather than a short-term speculative asset.
Do I pay VAT on gold? +
Investment gold (coins and bars meeting HMRC criteria) is exempt from VAT in the UK. Silver, platinum and palladium are subject to 20% VAT.
How is my order delivered? +
All orders are shipped via Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured for the full value of the contents, in discreet tamper-evident packaging with no indication of contents.
