Frequently Asked Questions

Ezygo pays 80% of the value of 24Kt gold. But you're probably wondering why we pay only 60% for 18Kt gold. This is because 18Kt contains 18/24 of gold (or 75%), so the calculation looks like this. 75% of 80% = 60%. Or in simple terms, you still get 80% of the actual amount of gold in your item.

So what many of our competitors do is this. Show a higher payout for 24Kt gold, but give a lower price per gram for lesser karats. Most gold jewellery is made of 10Kt, and many of our competitors have payouts that are around 30%. The ezygo payout percentage for 10Kt gold we offer is 33.34%.

When we receive any jewellery that is obviously of much higher quality, we regularly deem these pieces as "premium" and we offer the much higher payout

The Spot Price is the value right now on the markets for your precious metals.

Appraisal kits are totally free, and we cover the costs for shipping and insurance insurance up to $1000 for all shipments, and up to $10,000 on request.

Included in your appraisal kit is:
     - Pre-paid return envelope with either Canada Post or UPS (depending on the volume of metals)
     - Enough Tamper-Proof bags to hold your items
     - Enough Bubble Mailers to protect your items
     - Instructions

To see how ezy it is to pack your EzyKit, please watch this quick video.

We will notify you by email and in your member's area that we have received your appraisal kit, and you can also track your kit via UPS or in the dashboard in the member’s area

Not at all. We will do that during the appraisal.

After you give us your information, one of our customer support staff will contact you to help you choose the right method for getting your items appraised.

Yes.

We highly recommend that you take a video of you packing your items into your EzyKit, just in case our insurer requests it. Also, make sure the Tamper-Proof bag, and the bubble wrap and the UPS envelope are all properly sealed.

The following is included in your appraisal kit:
     1. Return Envelope with a UPS Prepaid ExpressPost Envelope
     2. Tamperproof bag as used by the banks
     3. Bubble mailer to protect your items
     4. Instructions

For calls before 1 pm (EST), you will receive your Appraisal kit overnight if you live in the Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal regions. For all other areas, expect to receive your kits in 48 hours.

We get your package within 24 to 36 hours.

For our insurance to provide coverage, you can only select one of the two following options.
To return your kit to ezygo you have two options using our pre-paid packet with tracking code:

- options a) schedule a next day pick between 9 am-7 pm at your home or office, by calling UPS direct 1-800-PICK-UPS® (1-800-742-5877) or by visiting (our staff can assist in setting up the UPS collection if needed)

- options b) drop off your package at any UPS store.

UPS doesn't cover every remote corner of Canada, so in those instances, we use Priority Postal services with Canada Post.

     - Canada (except Ontario) = 2 days
     - Ontario = Overnight

Your Appraisal kit can be posted directly at any Canada Post mail drop-off, but for our insurance to work, you will need to drop off the appraisal kit at any Canada Post centre and receive a tracking number.

Yes of course. We do not offer transit insurance for your items when you choose this method.

Ezygo includes 3rd party transit insurance coverage via InsurePost.com to the value of $1000 CAD for both inbound and returned items, and up to $10,000 on request.

Our insurance only covers packages that have been scanned into the UPS or Canada Post systems and were lost in transit. Due to fraud, ezygo cannot be liable if packages come to us and are empty or missing contents since we have no way of knowing if they were tampered or emptied before shipping in order to try to falsy make an insurance claim for losses. Canada Post and UPS automatically cover your package up to $100 of insurance coverage, and InsurePost covers an additional $900.

In order to insure a package with InsurePost, we need to be sure the package was actually was mailed. Placing a stamp on a package or using a meter machine or using a drop off box is NOT ACCEPTABLE proof of mailing/shipping.

UPS
To receive insurance for your items when using UPS, the package needs to be scanned into the UPS systems by either the UPS driver or dropped off at a UPS location.

Canada Post
For Canada Post, we need to see that the insured package was physically placed in the mail flow. This can be a receipt from the post office with an acceptance stamp, a tracking number with an acceptance scan, a customs number with an acceptance scan, or a stamped document from the post office indicating acceptance.

We are happy to offer you extra coverage if required (up to $10,000 CAD) and this can be arranged with our customer care staff.

Ezygo covers the full cost of sending your items back to you, and we include transit insurance for the items for the same amount as our valuation.

Ezygo provides mobile valuations in the Toronto GTA area for customers who have large amounts of precious metals to sell, and want an immediate settlement. Due to security concerns, how this process works will be coordinated with you on the day.

Important: Our insurance coverage only commences when your items have been placed into our vehicles safe.

When you submit your information through our form, our customer care staff will contact you to arrange an on-site appraisal subject to you meeting our minimum threshold.

If you have very large volumes of metals to sell, we may still be able to offer a mobile service outside of these areas. Please call our customer care staff, or complete our online form to start the process.
