We’ve made sending your scrap as easy as possible.

Simply follow the steps below to prepare your package for shipping refining lots.
Refine All Metals will pick up the shipping tab for lots worth $5000 or more.

 

Please Note: refining lots can not be shipped without first getting approval for such shipment from management.

Step1: Fill out the Refining Shipping Form
  • Include all of your contact information, including name, address, daytime phone number, and email address
  • Be sure to provide an accurate description of all material you are sending, listing the type and weight of each material separately. For example:
    1. 10K Sterling silver
    2. 14K Platinum wire
  • You can refer to your materials according to the following categories:
    1. Gold scrap-karat jewellery, scrap, and bench filings
    2. Silver scrap and filings
    3. Platinum scrap and filings
    4. Palladium scrap and filings
    5. Gold filled scrap, watch bands, and optical scrap
    6. Floor-sweeps, polishings, buffings, emery, and filters*
    7. * These are processed separately from readily melt-able materials.
  • Note any special information, such as processing or return instructions
  • Please indicate your settlement preferences
Step2: Wrap your jewellery scrap and filings in heavy plastic bags (separately, if possible). Seal the bags, and then place them in a sturdy shipping box
  • We strongly recommend that you use strong sealing tape and that you double-bag the materials or use large-mouthed plastic bottles
  • Use packing material, such as bubble-wrap or newspaper, to prevent shifting during shipping
Step3: Affix the Pre-Printed Shipping Labels to the box
  • The “Ship-to” address goes in the center and the “Shipped-from” in the upper-left corner, just like a normal letter.
  • Do not make any mention of precious metals on the outside of your package.
