About The GoldMonkeys

Written by the company

GoldMonkeys: Sell Gold Online – Instant & Transparent Quotes & Top Prices.

The Most Transparent Gold Buyer in the UK.

We’re a small, family-run business based in Bedfordshire. Back in 2018, we saw a clear opportunity to improve the way people sell their gold and silver.

With gold prices reaching record highs, more people were looking to turn their old jewellery into ready cash. But when we looked at the options available — both on the high street and online — we noticed some common problems.

High street shops often paid far below market value. Many online services either charged for postage, gave vague or delayed pricing, or quoted generously upfront — only to deduct hidden fees later.

That didn’t sit right with us.

So we created GoldMonkeys — to make selling gold and silver simple, transparent, and fair. With us, you can:

✅ Get a market-leading price

🔒 Know your quote before sending your items

📦 Enjoy free, insured next-day delivery

💷 Avoid hidden charges — our quotes are honest and upfront

We’re here to do things properly. No pressure, no surprises — just a better way to sell your gold and silver.

So happy with service, process and offer

I had a query before I sent my items in, Michael replied very quickly. They were honest about the process and price I would potentially get which put me at ease. I sent items in via the prepaid envelope and it was received by gold monkey the next day and I received an offer the same day which was so quick. The offer was itemised and was easy to understand and explained everything clearly. I happily accepted the offer which was very good and I received confirmation the same day. I am very happy with the service provided, the speed, clarity and honesty in which my queries were answered and the speed and convenience of the whole process. I 100% recommend this company and am already looking at what else I can send in! Thank you

Great fast service! Sent my gold one day and the money was in my account by 3pm the next. Great contact. Called me with a question and then I had the quote and thin the following hour. Clear, informative emails that kept me up to date. Have already referred my mum! Will definitely use again.

Highly recommend The Gold Monkeys

Cannot recommend The Gold Monkeys highly enough! I was a bit nervous about selling gold via the post but it was super easy. Postage was paid for and insured. The selling pack was delivered quickly and was clear/easy to use. I was given a quote before sending my gold away and received an updated quote within 4 hours of my gold being delivered to them by Tracked delivery: and they even offered me more than my original quote as the price of gold had gone up in the last couple of days. Highly recommend!

I shopped around

I shopped around, and sent metals to a few different companies. GoldMonkeys was by far the best experience of the companies tested. Despite precious metal prices falling, and ending up sending less than I was originally quoted for, GoldMonkeys stuck to the valuation in their original quote when it came to payment. There was an issue with the amount I was actually paid vs what I was told they would pay. A quick email rectified this immediately. I was also offered more than enough extra compensation to make up for the inconvenience. Overall very happy with my experience, and intend to do business with them in the future.

I cannot speak highly enough about this company. Great communication from a lovely gentleman called Michael. The process from start to finish was second to none, perfect to say the least. An all round fantastic company. The 5 star reviews speak for themselves and rightly so as well deserved. Once again, thank you Michael.

From the minute I contacted gold…

From the minute I contacted gold monkeys I was impressed. I got in contact after doing a google search and I saw the reviews. I can see why. From the first message I sent with a couple of questions on Saturday I got a reply almost straight away, from a real human might I add!! No robot! I requested my pack to send off but while waiting I popped in to a local independent jeweller for them to offer more than £100 less. The very next day my pack arrived so I got on and rushed to the post office and sent it off. Gold monkeys send a special delivery pack so it arrived before 1pm the next day. I was very aware that there could be a delay in quotes etc as it’s been busy but throughout this communication they stuck to their words and contacted me later that evening with a quote. I accepted and was paid in less than 5 minutes of me accepting gold monkeys offer. I will be recommending gold monkeys to everyone I know and definitely use them again. It’s not just gold they buy silver is on the list too. Thank you for absolutely everything from start to finish! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very quick in bank transferring the money and also an honest company. A ring I thought was platinum was actually 22 carrot gold and they were very quick in informing me. 22 carrot gold is worth a lot more than platinum

Excellent fast and very fair service. Despite gold and silver prices falling 15% they honoured their online guaranteed price which was the best quote I had received. The payment was made into my bank account within 24 hours of them receiving my items. Thank you so much.

Process not as clear as it should be

The service is fast and the paperwork straightforward, but the process for testing jewellery is not clearly explained. My earrings were returned dismantled and missing the diamond, which caused significant upset. While the gold was valued fairly, the loss of sentimental items highlights that the website and consent forms do not make the consequences of stone removal obvious. Good customer communication could prevent this in the future.

Dear Riya,

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry that this experience did not meet your expectations.

For clarity for anyone reading, our service is based solely on the precious metal content of items received. As part of the testing process, stones — including small diamonds — are removed and discarded. This is standard across the industry, as such stones generally have no resale value. This process is explained before submission across our website, throughout the submission journey, within the signed consent declaration, and in our Terms & Conditions, all of which must be acknowledged before a pack can be requested or the gold processed. We also state in multiple places on our website that if a customer wishes to keep any stones, they should remove them before sending items to us.

For context, the items sent to us were a pair of earrings containing 0.48g of 9ct gold, which equates to approximately 0.18g of pure gold — less than one-fifth of the weight of a typical paperclip. This is an exceptionally small quantity of gold; no other online gold buyer we are aware of sends free, fully insured packs for quantities under 10g, and most charge a mandatory £15 return fee.

On the day the items were received, the intrinsic market value of 0.48g of 9ct gold was £22.14. While we understand that the earrings originally cost significantly more to purchase, gold valuations are based solely on precious metal content rather than original purchase price or sentimental value. To help customers assess this in advance, we provide a calculator at the top of our homepage that gives an instant, minimum guaranteed quote. If gold prices rise between a quote being locked in and receipt of a customer’s gold, we increase the quote accordingly. In this instance, a quote was not locked in prior to sending the items. To our knowledge, we are the only online gold buyer that provides guaranteed quotes in this way, without hidden adjustments later in the process.

When you explained how unhappy you were with the outcome, we asked what resolution would feel fair to you. You requested a £100 payment by cheque, which is more than four times the intrinsic value of the gold. We agreed to this as a goodwill gesture, believing there had been a genuine misunderstanding of the process, and the cheque was posted and received the following day, along with the returned items.

We responded to all of your emails within minutes and aim to operate in an honest and open way, with clear and transparent communication around our processes.

We take transparency seriously and appreciate all customer feedback.

Best wishes

Highly recommend, very easy to use. Paid an increased price based on gold pricing rising from minimum quote to day of receipt. Paid into bank account on the same day as acceptance of valuation.

Dear Ms. Elkins,
Thank you very much for your review! We are always happy to increase a quote if the gold price has gone up, but will honour it for seven days even if the price decreases.
