How to Pack an EasyGold Mail-In Gold Kit

If you’re sending gold or jewellery by post, the packing stage is all about keeping things organised, secure and easy to identify when your kit arrives. The goal is not to make things fancy. It’s to make sure each item gets to the assessment stage in the same condition you sent it, and that the team can match everything up properly.

This guide covers the practical side of preparing and posting your EasyGold mail-in kit. If you want the full journey from request to offer, visit how it works.

Start by sorting your items before they go into the kit

Before you pack anything, take a few minutes to lay your items out and look at them one by one. This makes it easier to keep track of what you’re sending and helps avoid confusion later.

Separate jewellery into small groups if that’s easier for you to remember.
Keep chains, rings, bracelets, earrings and loose pieces together in a tidy way.
If you’re sending items with stones, mixed metals or unusual features, note what they are so you can remember them.
Don’t force tangled pieces apart if doing so might damage them.

If you’re unsure whether something should be included, check the current portal instructions before posting. EasyGold’s setup steps can change, so the portal is the best place for up-to-date guidance.

Use the supplied kit and follow the instructions inside it

The mail-in process is designed around the supplied kit, so it’s important to use the materials provided and follow the steps that come with them. That usually means using the bag, seal, labels or other items included in the kit in the order shown in the instructions.

Keep the paperwork together with your items if the instructions say to do so. If there are any checklists or reference details included, use them. The more closely you follow the kit steps, the easier it is for the team to identify your parcel and move it through assessment.

Pack your items so they don’t shift around

Inside the kit, your main job is to stop items moving around unnecessarily. Jewellery that rattles about in transit can tangle, scratch or become harder to sort when it arrives.

Place small items in the container or pouch provided.
Keep pieces together if the kit asks you to identify them that way.
Seal the parcel exactly as instructed.
Double-check that nothing important has been left out before closing it up.

If you’re posting more than one type of item, use the kit instructions to keep them organised. Clear packing can make the later weighing and testing stage much smoother.

Post the kit through Australia Post as directed

Once everything is packed and sealed, post the supplied kit through Australia Post according to the instructions you’ve been given. Use the service and lodgement steps shown in the portal or inside the kit, rather than guessing.

Keep your own copy of any posting reference, receipt or tracking number you’re given at the counter or in the portal. That way, you have a record of when the parcel was sent and how to follow its progress.

How tracking usually helps during the mail-in journey

Tracking is there so you can see that the kit has moved through the postal network and reached its destination. It’s useful for peace of mind, especially if you’re sending jewellery or multiple pieces.

In plain terms, tracking can help you:

confirm the parcel has been lodged
check that it is on the way
see when it has been delivered
keep a record of the posting step for your own notes

Once the parcel is delivered, the assessment process can begin. The exact timing and internal handling steps are best checked in the portal, as these details can change.

What happens after your kit arrives

After delivery, the items are moved into the assessment stage. That usually involves weighing, testing and checking the pieces to see what they are made of and how they’re described.

Here’s the general idea of what that means:

Weighing: each item or group of items is measured to understand the total mass.
Testing: the metal is checked to help determine purity or composition.
Assessment: the team looks at the item as a whole, which may include its type, purity, weight and any other relevant characteristics.

Some jewellery pieces can include stones, clasps, mixed metals or other features that affect how they’re assessed. That’s one reason it helps to pack items neatly and avoid mixing things up before posting.

Reviewing the offer comes next

Once the assessment is complete, you’ll be able to review the offer. This is the point where you decide whether the amount offered is acceptable to you.

It’s worth taking a calm look at the details before choosing. The offer is based on the assessment of your items, not just the headline gold price you may have seen elsewhere. If you’d like more background on that, the article on spot price vs buyback price is a helpful read.

If you’re comparing options, remember that each buyer sets their own process and assessment method. A practical approach is to read the offer carefully, check the portal instructions, and decide what suits you.

If you accept or decline

If you accept the offer, follow the payment steps shown in the portal. EasyGold’s current instructions are the best place to check what details are needed and what happens next.

If you decline, follow the return or next-step instructions provided in the portal. Don’t assume anything here — use the current process shown on the site so you know exactly what to expect.

A few simple packing tips

Work on a clean table so small items are easier to see.
Use the kit exactly as supplied rather than substituting your own packaging.
Keep a note of what you posted.
Check the portal before you send, especially if you haven’t used the mail-in process before.

Good packing doesn’t need to be complicated. The main thing is to keep your items secure, use the supplied kit properly, and post it the way the instructions ask. If you want the full step-by-step journey, including the kit-request option, head to how it works.
