Confused About UK Dealers ?

[Pete]

Does anyone know the difference between -

BullionbyPost
and
Gold.co.uk

They share the same VAT number, address and bank account - so if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is probably a duck ....

You need to check prices on both sites because there can occasionally be big differences but they appear in everything but name to be the same operation, even down to their "Protect Your Wealth With Gold Bullion" booklet. There could be an argument for saying one offers vaulting but how can prices to us stackers & collectors be so different from the same company ?

there was a big thing in the press about rob halliday-stein (the MD of BBP) buying gold.co.uk a few years back - both the same

FYI, If you have a BBP account, your login will work on Gold.co.uk

they're owned by the same people, although why they have 2+ companies offering the same thing is beyond me. Unless it is to take advantage of people looking for better prices. Sell at an inflated price to those who will pay and still being able to offer products to those who thought the first site cost too much. They have something similar in America with designer glasses and all the companies being owned by one man. There's a youtube video about it somewhere

I was once directed to gold.co.uk by bullion by post when a coin was out of stock but in stock with gold.co.uk
