Sell Silver Online in Canada — Insured Mail-In, an Offer Before Anything Is Final
Silver is heavy, bulky and spread across the whole country — which is why Gold Stock Corp buys silver 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). Your metal is weighed and tested on arrival, the offer is built from the live spot price and reported item by item, and nothing is final until you approve it.
How the silver mail-in route works
Start by contacting us with a description of what you have — bars, coins, rounds or sterling. We explain the insured shipping arrangements; because silver is dense, larger holdings are usually split into sensibly sized, fully insured parcels. On arrival, every item is sorted, weighed on a calibrated scale and purity-tested, and you 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. Photograph what you send and keep the tracking record until settlement is complete — those two habits make a distance sale as orderly as a counter sale.
What sells well by mail
Recognized bars and coins are the simplest mail-in sales: sealed minted bars, Maple Leafs, Eagles and other sovereign coins price almost on sight, and tubes and monster boxes travel in their original packaging. Sterling silver — flatware, hollowware and scrap — is tested and reported piece by piece, which matters for estate lots where a single unexplained figure would be useless. Selling your own silver is not a retail purchase, so no sales tax is charged on a sale you make to us; the settlement statement we issue is your sale record for capital-gains purposes.
Preparing a silver parcel that settles without questions
A few habits make a mail-in silver sale settle in one pass. Keep coins in their original tubes and bars in their sealed packaging where you have them; group loose items so nothing rattles or abrades in transit; and include a simple list of what you believe is in the parcel. On arrival our count is checked against your description, and any difference is reported with the offer rather than absorbed silently. If your lot includes pieces you suspect may carry collector value beyond their metal, say so in your note — a coin assessed as a collectible follows a different path from one priced as bullion, and flagging it up front protects that value. Settlement statements are issued for every completed sale, and copies can be re-sent for estate or tax files on request.
