Sell Gold Online in Canada — Insured Mail-In, an Offer Before Anything Is Final
Most Canadians live nowhere near a bullion counter, so Gold Stock Corp buys gold online from sellers anywhere in Canada through an insured mail-in route run from our Mississauga head-office store (1323 Matheson Blvd E), our Malton store (7086 Airport Rd #3) and our Vancouver store (736 Granville St #510). The principle is the same as at the counter: your metal is weighed and tested, the offer is built from the live spot price and reported item by item, and nothing is final until you approve it.
How the mail-in route works
Start by contacting us with a description of what you have. We explain the insured shipping arrangements, and your parcel travels tracked and insured to us. On arrival, every item is sorted, weighed on a calibrated scale and purity-tested — XRF testing for most items, with fire assay available when a lot needs a definitive result. You then receive the full itemised offer: weight, purity and price for each piece, built from the live spot price at the time of testing.
Accept, and payment follows by the method agreed. Decline, and your metal is returned insured. Approval always comes before commitment — the mail-in route is designed so that distance never means surrendering control of the transaction.
What sells well by mail
Recognized bars and coins are the simplest mail-in sales: sealed, serialized minted bars, Maple Leafs, Eagles and other sovereign coins price almost on sight. Scrap gold, broken jewellery and dental gold travel just as well and are tested and reported piece by piece, which matters for mixed estate lots where a single unexplained figure would be useless to an executor. Larger or higher-value lots deserve a phone conversation first, so insurance and paperwork are arranged properly before anything moves.
Keep any certificates, assay cards and original invoices with the items — they speed testing and support value on recognized product. Photograph what you send and keep the tracking record until settlement is complete.
Records and tax notes
The settlement statement we issue is your sale record: item, weight, purity, price and date. Keep it — if a capital gain is ever reported on the metal, that document is what your accountant will ask for. For larger transactions we record identification, which protects both sides and creates the paper trail estates and businesses need. Selling your own metal is not a retail purchase, so no sales tax is charged on a sale you make to us.
