Buying From Chards - How We Calculate Postage

In order to calculate a final postage, we have our actual transit costs to cover plus additional insurance costs:

UK 

Standard Delivery (Royal Mail 2nd Class) is only available for orders with a value below £60:  

<1000 grams = £3.50 

1000-2000 grams = £6.00 

2000-10000 grams = £15 

10000-20000 grams = £22 

Next Day Fully Insured and Tracked Delivery:

<1000 grams = £6

1000-2000 grams = £11 

2000-10000 grams = £26.6 

10000-20000 grams = £41.2 

Postage Insurance

We offer fully insured delivery on all special delivery options. We do need to pass on the cost of this insurance as it soon adds up shipping high value gold and silver products. 

Orders < £1,500 there is no additional fee.

Orders > £1,500 we charge a fee to cover the increasing costs of insurance. For every £1,500 we apply a £1 fee. 

Example Orders with Postage

Gold products worth £2,350 and weighing 125 grams with packaging:

Postage = £6

Insurance = £1

Total = £7

Silver products worth £1,500 and weighing 2,500 grams with packaging:

Postage = £26.60

Insurance = £1

Total = £27.60

Selling to Chards - How We Calculate Postage

We offer an insured distance buy-in service where you can sell from anywhere in the UK without leaving your house. We calculate the postage as follows:

For items up to the value of £20,000 or 10kg shipped UK domestic:

£40 per parcel plus an extra £1 for every £1,000 value of the item being sold. 

For example, if you sell 20 sovereigns with a value of £4,000, postage will be £39 (£35 +£4). 

If you have a parcel exceeds 10kg you can contact us for a custom quote.
