A cast bar is a bar that is taken directly from a cast and is no longer refined. A minted bar is a highly refined bar which is aesthetically more pleasing than the cast bar. Therefore, minted bars are more expensive than cast bars.

How do I contact you if I need to enquire about something?
The best way is to email us.
 
To which address do I need to send my ID or SMSF documents?

All documents must be strictly posted to “The Compliance Officer, Gold De Royale, PO Box 971, Spring Hill, QLD 4004”. Ensure that all documents are posted to the above postal address and you dispatch it either by Registered Post or by Express Post Platinum. We will email you once we receive the documents. Certified copies of your documents can also be emailed to us. 

 
Why does my silver bar/coin have brown discolouration or tarnish?

When silver comes in contact with air, it naturally reacts with hydrogen sulphide in the air to create a very thin layer of tarnish. This is a natural process. High humidity climates, prevalent in Australia, will accelerate the tarnishing process, depending on your geographic location.  Based on the finishing of the coins/bars, this process might be faster or slower.

 
Does the price of bullion on Gold De Royale remain the same?
No, our prices are updated automatically 24/7, 365 days a year.
 
Can brown discolouration or tarnish reduce the value of my silver bar/coins?

No, tarnish or brown discoloration cannot reduce the value of silver bullion because tarnish is a natural event. When silver is exposed to air, the air oxidizes the silver, causing it to discolor.  This brown discoloration is commonly seen in 1 kilo silver bars, 100-ounce silver bars, and 1000-ounce silver bars.


 
Is there any limit imposed on credit card purchases?
For security purposes credit card transactions done online are limited to $5000 (excluding shipping, insurance and credit card surcharge). You will not be able to place purchase orders online for more than $5000 by credit card. This limit is only applicable to credit card transactions online. You can still pay by credit card for more than $5000, if you contact us via email prior to placing your order.
 
Why do even some brand-new minted bars (bullion) have scratches or streak marks?

Because the bars are minted in a large chunk of blocks, they will have scratch or streak marks. Again, this in no way reduces the value of the bullion.

 
Are credit card transactions secure on Gold De Royale?
Yes, credit card transactions are secure. Gold De Royale uses Secure Sockets Layer security technology. This will ensure that your information sent to our web server is encrypted and scrambled, making it secure.
 
Why do cast bars have imperfections, scratches and abrasions?

As cast bars are used for investment purposes, they do not need much refining. Because they are taken directly from a cast, they will have the above-mentioned imperfections. As an investor, you need to remember that the value of a cast bar mainly depends on the refiner who manufactures them. Therefore, before buying a cast bar, make sure that the refiner who refined them is an approved Good Delivery Refiner of the London Bullion Market Association.

 
I have transferred the money from my bank account to yours. How do I provide a print screen proof that I have transferred the money?
This is very simple. Once you have transferred the money you will get a confirmation on your computer screen saying that the money has been transferred. When you see this message, on your keyboard you will see a key called “Prt Scr” or “Print Screen”. Press this once or twice. Then open Microsoft Word and, in a new document, paste the print screen and save the document. Once you have saved the document, you can send it to us via email.
 
I placed an order via the bank wire transfer method and I did not receive an order confirmation email with the total payable.

When you place an order via bank wire transfer mode you will get an automatic email confirmation of your order and the total payable with our bank details (within one to three minutes). Sometimes the order confirmation email may be stuck in your junk mail folder or spam mail folder. Sometimes it could be blocked by your mail server (like Opus Webmail or Virgin Broadband mail and others).  We would advise customers to check their junk mail folder or spam mail folder first for the order confirmation email. If it is not in these folders, email us and we will forward your order confirmation email.  

 
I use a Mac and I cannot find the “Prt Scr” or “Print Screen” key on the keyboard in order to take a print screen proof of the wire transfer.

Press the following keys simultaneously Shift-Apple-3 on a Mac to take a screenshot.

 
How do I know when my order has been dispatched?
As soon as your order has been dispatched we will send you an email stating that your order has been shipped.
 
Do all bullion items look exactly as per the photos on the website?

Photos for all bullion products shown on the website are for illustrative purposes only. Therefore, there could be a difference in terms of the bullion design and its look and feel when you receive your bullion order as it depends on the stock we receive from the refiner/supplier.

 
How do I obtain a security code to place credit card orders?

A security code can be issued only to customers who have provided documents for a identity check. Once we receive your identity documents we will issue via email your unique security code. Please read Terms and Conditions of Purchase clause  “Customer Identification Requirements” for more information about the identity check.

 
Do you ship bullion (gold/silver/palladium/platinum) internationally?

Yes, we do ship to many countries. Please note that due to security restrictions we do not ship to some countries.
