Introduction
If you live outside Berlin or simply prefer convenience, selling jewelry by post can be safe and efficient—provided you use insured shipping and a buyer with a transparent intake process. For many sellers, postal buying removes travel time and still delivers fair, documented prices.
The process is straightforward: you pack securely, ship with insurance and tracking, the buyer confirms receipt and carries out an on camera intake and appraisal, then you receive a quote and—once accepted—your payout. After the first 100 words, if you want a reputable option to sell by mail, make sure they provide tracking, insured labels, and clear communication. How postal buying works step by step
1.Initial contact: you describe items and receive packing/insurance guidance.
2.Secure packing: items are placed in small boxes or pouches, within a larger unbranded box.
3.Insured shipment: use tracked, insured services appropriate to value.
4.Intake confirmation: the buyer confirms arrival and condition.
5.Appraisal & quote: valuation is documented; you receive an offer.
6.Payout: bank transfer (or other offered method) within 24–48 hours from acceptance.
Packing and insurance: best practices
Double box valuable items; avoid brand name packaging on the outer parcel.
Photograph contents and the sealed box.
Use adequate padding to prevent movement.
Declare value correctly; keep proof of postage and tracking.
Identity, documentation, and compliance
Legitimate buyers follow KYC/AML requirements. You’ll need to provide ID and confirm you’re the owner. For watches and diamonds, include copies of certificates, invoices, and any service records.
Payout timelines and options
Most postal buying settles within 24–48 hours after you accept the quote. Transfers follow banking cut off times. If you decline the offer, reputable buyers will return your items insured.
