Always use HGM for my charity's scrap

Always use HGM for my charity's scrap. Funds in the bank account the same day. Team is also happy to confirm items that are unmarked but are not for scrap, so that we can then sell ourselves. A hard working team of very nice people and great new premises.

I was ordering Gold from a listing…

I was ordering Gold from a listing which was described as the old britannia white gold bars however after my purchase the newer blue britannia gold bars arrived which was quite a shame as that wasn't the product I wanted. It was still a good price just a bit misleading.

I can Highly recommend this company

I can Highly recommend this company. I used the packaging which they sent to me which was for next day guaranteed delivery. An offer was sent to me within a couple of hours of being delivered which was more than I had expected. After accepting the offer the money was transferred into my bank within the hour. Very quick and professional, I was very happy with the service and result and would definitely use again. .

“Return non-gold items” does NOT…

“Return non-gold items” does NOT include diamonds

I think customers need to be aware of the wording Hatton Garden Metals uses when selling jewellery containing diamonds or precious stones.

I selected “RETURN NON GOLD/SILVER ITEMS: Yes, return non gold items.” I understood this to mean that anything that wasn't gold or silver would be returned, including diamonds.

The diamonds were from my mother's ring and I intended to keep and reuse them, so they had considerable sentimental value. I had also previously had stones returned by the company, which reinforced my understanding.

To be fair, the confirmation email I received before posting my jewellery did contain a warning explaining that stones are not returned and may be crushed, hammered out or melted. However, I believe the wording when making the original selection is unnecessarily ambiguous.

What has made this experience particularly upsetting is the way my concerns were handled afterwards. When I called and subsequently raised the matter formally by email, I explained the sentimental importance of my mother's diamonds. I came away feeling there was very little empathy or concern about what had happened, with the focus simply being on pointing me back to their terms.

Hatton Garden Metals has told me that stones aren't individually recorded or tracked, so they cannot tell me what specifically happened to my mother's diamonds.

Surely the option could simply say:

“RETURN NON-GOLD/SILVER ITEMS – EXCLUDING DIAMONDS AND OTHER STONES.”

That would remove any ambiguity.

I'm not claiming there was no warning elsewhere. My complaint is that something this important should be absolutely clear at the point the customer makes their selection.

If you're sending jewellery containing stones you want to keep, have them removed first. I just wish this had been clearer when I made my choice and that my concerns afterwards had been handled with more understanding.

Hi Susanne,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear how your recent experience with our team has been.

As mentioned within your review, information regarding the handling of stones is provided prior to items being sent to us. As a precious metals dealer, our processing methods can be destructive, which is why we always recommend having any stones of sentimental or monetary value safely removed beforehand.

As one of the UK’s premier bullion dealers, we take great pride in the service we provide and value customer feedback as an important part of continually reviewing and improving our processes. We appreciate your comments regarding the wording of the “Return Non-Gold/Silver Items” option and will ensure your suggestion is passed to the relevant team for consideration.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and constructive feedback with us.

Kindest regards,

The HGM Team

Would recommend without hesitation.

The speed of my transaction was incredible and I would have to say that HGM's customer service is second to none.

This is the third time I have sold to HGM and the care they take with even the smallest transaction is really refreshing.
