And I just got my check for $702 and the jewelry I wanted returned. Cool! 

I just sent my stuff in to USGB but I am so stupid I forgot to tell the woman that I brought it in to that I needed a padded envelope and she put it in a cardboard letter one.I didn't remember that they said not to do this till I already got home.I hope it gets there ok.I sent a decent amount of stuff-11 charms,10 mismatched earings,5 rings,9 bracelets and 8 necklaces.I am hoping to use the money for airfare.
I hope all goes well for you with the mailing...it looks like you sent off quite a bit. I've been nervous about sending my stuff out to USGB (even though I sent for info a couple of weeks ago and they emailed me back with mailing details) because folks here have said they aren't accepting any more shipments. My DH says they'd probably accept it anyway because I got the mailing info...but I really don't want it to be refused and have to pay for it!!
Okay - to anyone who sent in a package, you can relax! US Goldbuyers will accept every package that comes their way. They usually have a 24-48 hour processing time but they have been so swamped, they don't want their customers to be upset when they don't get their payouts in that time frame so they are trying to slow the flow a little. The manager I spoke to said they have been sleeping at the business for three weeks now to try to keep up and they are just really crazy. Rest assured, your packages will be handled with care.
As for me - he rechecked my order. Apparantly there was a layer of palladium in my school ring - darn that Jostens, that thing was pricey!!- and that throws the machine off when measuring purity. So, if you have a class ring, beware of this! My payout went up $150 just from that being done separately and I'm ending up with $702.44. Now my check is on it's way.
While it has been hard to get someone on the phone and get someone to return calls, the customer service has been great otherwise. I am really pleased that he took the time to recheck my order - even if he hadn't found anything but of course better that he did! He was very adamant that they pride themselves on making their customers happy and was very nice in explaining the process so I could understand it. The experience has been good overall and I would definitely recommend US GoldBuyers.
As always, it's good to know what you are talking about when dealing with stuff like this. A little homework goes a long way. Good luck to everyone.![]()
I just got my offer and they asked me if I wanted the stuff that wasn't gold sent to the salvation army. This included my school ring. I asked him if he could look into the ring again because I had heard about there being something in them that throws the machine off. That thing was very pricey in 1987!
He went off on me about how accurate everything is and I tried to explain NICELY that a "Gene" was kind enough to check yours again but this guy was not nice. I guess they are really swamped but the experience was not a good one for me.
I asked him to send it back along with my check. I have to pay the $15shipping out of the payout as well.
I had used Goldfellow first and I have to say - it was a much more pleasant experience. Their website and service were great.

Thanks for all the info. I just signed up at Goldfellow. Is there a place we mention the disboards when we send it in for 10%?
I think I'm going to send mine out tomorrow to USGB and I think I'm going to go with Western Union payment cause then I'd get cash and there's no fee that I can see on my side of the deal (USGB will have a fee though).
Anyone else choose Western Union as their method of payment?![]()
I'll keep you posted.![]()
