To request a free, insured Jewelry Return Pack, please complete the on-line form located on the Site, and then click the button to submit your information or telephone one of our representatives at 1-877-465-3590 to request a Jewelry Return Pack.  Your Jewelry Return Pack will be mailed within approximately 24 hours to the address you entered on the on-line form or that you provided to our representatives.
Please include with your shipment a complete inventory of your Jewelry. In the event your Jewelry Return Pack arrives at our facilities and any items of your Jewelry are missing or lost from your Jewelry Return Pack and such items are not listed on the included inventory list, we will not be responsible for such lost or missing Jewelry.
We are proud to offer free UPS labels to ship your material.  All Jewelry Return Packs which are shipped via the US Postal Service (“USPS”) in the Jewelry Return Pack and Labeling we provide you will be insured by U-PIC Insurance Services (“U-PIC”), 5703 Corsa Avenue, 2^nd Floor, Westlake Village, CA 91362 (800-955-4623).  If you wish to use our prepaid, insured UPS service, please print out the UPS label that is generated by the Site.  Once you receive your Jewelry Return Pack, simply place your unwanted jewelry into the security pack included in the Jewelry Return Pack, place the security pack in any box or envelope that meets UPS packaging requirements, attach the UPS label to the box or envelope, and ship your Jewelry to us from any UPS location.   We will provide you with the 5 UPS locations that are closest to the address you submit to us.  You will be able to track your UPS package online.
ONLY JEWELRY SHIPPED THROUGH USPS TO US USING THE RETURN PACKAGING AND LABEL WE PROVIDE YOU WILL BE INSURED by U-PIC FOR UP TO $100. However if you elect to ship your Jewelry through UPS using our return label it WILL BE INSURED FOR UP TO $500. If you plan to ship us Jewelry with a value in excess of $100 please call us at 800-241-1811 or email us at info@cash4gold.com and tell us the name of your shipper and the amount of insurance that you have purchased for the pack so we can notate this information in your file. Please note that when shipping your Jewelry to us we only provide customers with either USPS return packaging or a free UPS shipping label through our Web site. If you wish to use UPS, USPS or another shipper and you believe your Jewelry is worth more than the amount of insurance we provide for the shipment method you have selected, you must obtain the applicable shipping label, packaging and ALL necessary insurance directly from UPS,USPS or the other shipper. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject delivery of any envelope or package that appears to be damaged, opened or tampered with, and we will return these envelopes or packages to you by means of USPS.

Upon receipt of your Jewelry, we will weigh and evaluate your Jewelry.  We purchase Jewelry for processing, melting and/or refining, not for resale except as provided pursuant to this Section 2.2.  EXCEPT FOR SMALL DIAMONDS, PRICES FOR JEWELRY ARE BASED SOLELY ON THE WEIGHT OF THE PRECIOUS METALS IN YOUR JEWELRY AND KARAT GRADE CONTAINED IN YOUR JEWELRY, NOT ON ITS POTENTIAL VALUE IF RESOLD INTACT.  For this reason, we cannot pay for gemstones in your Jewelry other than small diamonds.  Prices for small diamonds are based upon carat weight, color, clarity, cut and shape.  WE WILL NOT PAY YOU FOR ITEMS OF JEWELRY DETERMINED TO CONTAIN MINIMAL OR NO IDENTIFIABLE PRECIOUS METAL (“NON-PRECIOUS ITEMS”). If you wish to sell your fine jewelry, such as estate pieces, diamonds over 1 carat and fine time pieces, you may obtain a quote from our affiliated site:  www.theestatebuyer.com subject to the conditions contained therein.
2.3       Requesting a Quote. 
You may request that we provide you with a verbal quote for your Jewelry by including a note in the package you send to us or by calling us at 1-800-241-1811.  If you do not request a quote, we will assume that you do not want a quote, and we will evaluate your Jewelry and either send you a check or wire your payment into your account if you selected the Fast Cash-direct deposit option.
IF YOU WANT A QUOTE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU REQUEST THE QUOTE ON OR BEFORE THE DATE YOU SHIP YOUR JEWELRY TO US.  If we do not receive your request for a quote by the time we receive your Jewelry, we will not be able to provide you with a quote.

If you wish to accept the quote you will need to do so when one of our customer service representatives provides you with the quote on the telephone.  We may, in our sole discretion, record the call as permitted by law.

UPON ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF THE TELEPHONE QUOTE, PAYMENT WILL BE ISSUED BY US WITHIN TWENTY FOUR (24) HOURS OF SUCH ACCEPTANCE, AND THE TWELVE (12) DAY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION HOLDING PERIOD GUARANTY WILL NO LONGER BE APPLICABLE TO SUCH TRANSACTION AND IS THEREFORE WAIVED BY YOU.
If you do not accept the quote, we will return your Jewelry to you free of charge. We will, in our sole discretion, choose the return carrier, insurance and receipt verification method for each transaction.  WE WILL INSURE YOUR JEWELRY FOR NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT WE OFFER YOU FOR YOUR JEWELRY, (REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU INSURE THE JEWELRY FOR WHEN YOU MAILED IT TO US), UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BY PHONE AT 1-800-241-1811 THAT YOU AGREE TO PAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL INSURANCE YOU REQUEST.  IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR JEWELRY IS WORTH MORE THAN $100, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU INSURE YOUR RETURN SHIPMENT FOR THE VALUE YOU THINK IT IS WORTH.
