The precious metals industry works in what we know as spot price and spread. The spot price is the current price in which you see advertised online daily and on our website. The spread includes the cost for us to complete the order. Queensland Bullion Company has some of the most competitive pricing in Australia.

We use only the most secure couriers to send our precious metals around Australia. We pride ourselves on offering delivery rates that are some of the cheapest within the industry.

 

All orders will require a signature from the client to confirm delivery. If the client is unavailable on the delivery date, the client will need to arrange another collection day direct with the courier.

All orders leaving Queensland Bullion Company are fully tracked and insured. If ever your delivery doesn’t make it to your door, please contact us and we will follow up on your behalf.

You will be notified when your order is ready to collect from our offices. For most orders, please arrange for collection at your earliest. We hold your bullion Free of Charge for 7 days after notification. Additional holdings charges may be payable if you do not collect your order within that timeframe.

All orders purchased through Queensland Bullion Company are able to be stored at our custom-built vaulting facility run by our sister company Queensland Bullion Vault. Our storage options can be found here.

Yes. All of our bullion comes from reputable LBMA accredited refineries where there is a guarantee for Gold (99.99%) and Silver (99.9%). All cast bars sold by Queensland Bullion Company are guaranteed to be at this purity.

Some historians believe the troy ounce had its origins in the Roman times. As such precious metals are still using the metric troy ounce to weight metals.

To help you with your calculations:
1 troy ounce = 31.1 grams

When wanting to change your pool allocated bullion to a cast bar or coin, the barring fee is the fee in which it costs for Queensland Bullion Company to make the required change. If you want to sell your pool allocated bullion instead, Queensland Bullion Company will not charge any barring fee.

To keep it simple, the spot price is the advertised wholesale price of gold at any point in time advertised on international markets. This price does not include any refining, manufacturing, transport, barring, storing and retailing fees included for us to get your bullion. As such, you will see that you will purchase slightly above and sell slightly below spot price. This is called the spread and is the margin of the bullion dealer to complete the order.

All pricing for products sold by us are advertised live on our website 24 hours a day. It is updated every minute and by that we can assure you that we have the most accurate spot prices in Australia.

There is no GST payable when purchasing Investment grade gold, silver or platinum. All of these metals sold by Queensland Bullion Company are investment grade so there will be no GST payable by you.
