Your Packaging Responsibilities

  • Properly package items to prevent damage during transit to and from AccuratePMR.
  • Obtain an official printed tracking receipt from the carrier office when dropping off the package, which must include the tracking number and the weight of the package.
  • Prepare and retain a detailed packing list that includes, for each item: a description, weight, estimated value, and a clear photograph. If available, include receipts or other proof of value to facilitate potential insurance claims. Email the packing list and photographs to [email protected] prior to shipping.
  • If using multiple shipping labels & packages for one shipment, document the contents of each package separately and ensure each package is properly labeled and packaged according to our instructions.
  • Take a clear photograph of all items being shipped, ensuring each item is visible, and email the photograph to [email protected] prior to shipping.
  • Reinforce all package seams with tape to prevent bursting.
  • Fully tape over the shipping label to prevent detachment or mutilation with clear packing tape.
  • Use only AccuratePMR-provided labels; no branded boxes, logos, or graphics other than those of the designated carrier are permitted.
  • If double boxing is requested by AccuratePMR staff, you must follow all details and instructions provided by staff. Contact [email protected] for packaging guidance if needed.
  • Use durable boxes, tape, and fillers; avoid using peanuts or paper shreds.
  • Ensure items are packed securely to prevent movement & sound within the box.
  • Do not declare a value or disclose the contents to the carrier.
  • Deliver the package only to a staffed carrier location operated by the designated carrier.
  • Obtain an official printed receipt for any and all packages dropped off at a retail carrier location.
  • Do not use unmanned drop boxes, locations without carrier personnel, or third-party drop-off locations.

Reporting Issues and Claims

If your items are damaged, lost, delayed, or stolen during transit, you must notify us within 10 days of the shipment date via [email protected] NOT BY PHONE. Failure to notify us within this timeframe will prohibit you from seeking claims against AccuratePMR or the third-party Insurance and their Underwriter, and you will waive any rights to loss, theft or damage claims.

Filing an Insurance Claim

After notifying us of a claim, you must provide the following documentation within 48 hours of your notification:

  • A printed carrier acceptance receipt with the tracking number and weight of each package on the receipt.
  • A detailed packing list that includes, for each item: a description, weight, estimated value, and a clear photograph, as emailed to [email protected] prior to shipping. The total weight of the items on the packing list must match the weight recorded on the shipping receipt provided by the carrier. If available, provide receipts or other proof of value to support the claim, as this will significantly expedite the process.
  • A valid photo ID (Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport) will be required to file claim.
  • Completion of a mandatory Photo ID digital Verification KYC process, which will be sent to you digitally and requires a phone or web camera to capture photos of your ID (front and back) and a selfie. Accurate Precious Metals Refineries will receive and store all submitted information and images as part of the verification process. This step is mandatory with no exceptions. Refusal to complete the digital ID and government ID verification will result in forfeiture of any insurance claim, and you agree to hold Accurate Precious Metals Refineries and the third-party insurance provider harmless. AccuratePMR will not provide assistance with the verification process. If you experience technical difficulties, you must arrange for support from a family member, trusted individual, or third-party service.
  • Any other relevant information or documentation as requested by AccuratePMR or our third-party insurance.

The client also agrees to file criminal charges if requested or any other needs made by AccuratePMR or our third-party insurance to complete the insurance claim. If the client refuses to do any requested actions or provide requested data, the client forfeits any insurance claim and holds Accurate Precious Metals Refineries harmless but not limited to any lost, stolen, and damaged packages.

Accurate Precious Metals Refineries reserves the right to fulfill any claims with a replacement of the items for equal replacement value if AccuratePMR chooses to do so. Example: if you have a jewelry item and we choose to make the client whole by giving them a replacement of the item of equal replacement value. The client agrees that this method will be satisfied if we choose to do so. This would be an alternative to a cash settlement. This option is solely at the discretion of AccuratePMR.

Failure to provide complete documentation within this period will result in the claim being forfeited and you agree to hold Accurate Precious Metals Refineries harmless of any but not limited to damaged, stolen, or lost packages.

Risk of Loss

You bear the risk of loss during shipment. Accurate Precious Metals Refineries is not liable for damaged, lost, or stolen items, except to facilitate insurance claims based on our insured value. Liability is limited to the insurance coverage provided, and we will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential losses or damages. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold AccuratePMR harmless from any third-party liability or claims. In no event will AccuratePMR or the Insurance Underwriter be liable for any amount exceeding the lesser of (a) the declared value of the package being shipped or (b) the fair market value of the items contained in the package, as determined solely by AccuratePMR. All packages are insured at a maximum of $1,000. If you require insurance coverage above $1,000, you must contact AccuratePMR at [email protected] prior to shipping and receive digital confirmation of the increased coverage. No verbal agreements will be accepted, and coverage increases will only be valid with digital confirmation from AccuratePMR. We will not be liable for any amount exceeding the insurance coverage agreed upon at the time of shipping. You agree to hold Accurate Precious Metals Refineries and the third-party insurance provider harmless for any item valued above the insured amount. For example, if an item, such as a $20,000 watch, is insured at $1,000 because you did not request and confirm higher coverage, the third-party insurance provider will only cover the insured amount, and AccuratePMR will submit claims based solely on that value.

Ownership of Items

To prove ownership and contents, you must provide:

  • A clear photograph of all items being shipped, ensuring each item is visible, emailed to [email protected] prior to shipping.
  • A detailed packing list that includes, for each item: a description, weight, estimated value, and a clear photograph, as emailed to [email protected] prior to shipping. If available, provide receipts or other proof of value.
  • The tracking receipt from the carrier.
  • Receipts, appraisals, and any other documentations to help determine value and ownership.

Failure to provide these photographs and packing list may result in delays or denial of any insurance claims, as they are crucial for verifying the contents and your possession of the items.

Offer and Holding Period

Non-Bullion, Coins, and Offers ≤ $3,000: We will send you an offer via phone call, voicemail, email, or SMS text message. We reserve the right to decide which method of confirmation we use, which may include verbal confirmation, email, SMS text message to an AccuratePMR-designated number, or a signed document. You have 14 days from the date of the offer to accept or decline it. If we do not receive a response by the 13th day, we will send a single reminder via email, phone call, voicemail, or SMS text message. If no response is received by the end of the 14th day, this will constitute acceptance of the offer, and Accurate Precious Metals Refineries will send payment via check by mail or by wire if we have bank account information on file. Payment method is determined by AccuratePMR at our sole discretion. This action finalizes the sale as irrevocable and binding, and you waive any right to further negotiation.

Bullion, Coins, and Offers > $3,000: We will send you an offer via phone call, voicemail, email, or SMS text message. We reserve the right to decide which method of confirmation we use, which may include verbal confirmation, email, SMS text message to an AccuratePMR-designated number, or a signed document. You have the time limit specified by our sales staff to accept or decline the offer, which may be as short as 1 hour due to market volatility. This timeline will be disclosed via email, phone call, voicemail, or SMS text message. If the offer expires, an updated offer may be provided upon your request, calculated in AccuratePMR’s favor based on precious metals market, premiums, and supply movements. If we do not receive a response within 13 days of the initial or updated offer, we will send a final offer on the 13th day via email, phone call, voicemail, or SMS text message. If no response is received by the end of the 13th day, this will constitute acceptance of the final offer, and AccuratePMR will send payment via check by mail or by wire if we have bank account information on file. Payment method is determined by AccuratePMR at our sole discretion. This action finalizes the sale as irrevocable and binding, and you waive any right to further negotiation.

Non-Response Consequences: Customers who fail to respond within the timelines specified above will be paid based on the terms outlined, with an updated offer provided on the final day if applicable. Non-response constitutes acceptance of the offer, and you waive any right to further negotiation.

Death of a Client

In the event a client becomes non-responsive due to death, Accurate Precious Metals Refineries will follow the procedures outlined here. AccuratePMR will work with the client’s estate or legal representatives to determine the rightful recipient of any payment or return of items, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. Representatives must provide legal documentation (e.g., death certificate, will, letters testamentary, or court-appointed executor documentation) to verify their authority to act on behalf of the deceased client’s estate. AccuratePMR reserves the right to retain items or proceeds until such documentation is provided and verified. All legal, administrative, and overhead costs incurred by AccuratePMR in determining the rightful recipient, including but not limited to legal counsel fees, will be deducted from the proceeds of any sale or payment before distribution by either liquidating the appropriate amount of items or issuing an invoice to the estate or authorized representatives, which must be paid before any items are returned. If the estate or representatives request the return of unsold items for sentimental reasons, AccuratePMR will provide an invoice for all incurred costs, which must be paid in full prior to release. If the estate or authorized representatives reject an offer or fail to provide required documentation within 30 days of notification, AccuratePMR reserves the right to sell the appropriate amount of items to cover these costs, with any remaining proceeds distributed to the verified estate or representative. If items have already been deemed as sold or payment issued to a party other than the original client (e.g., estate, executor), AccuratePMR may deduct applicable fees and costs from the proceeds. AccuratePMR shall not be liable for any claims, losses, or damages arising from the distribution of funds or items to a party deemed authorized based on provided documentation and legal counsel, and you agree to hold AccuratePMR, its affiliates, employees, and agents harmless from such claims. AccuratePMR reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including recovery of costs, in the event of disputes over distribution.

Disputed Items

If AccuratePMR is unaware that items are subject to legal disputes at the time of receipt but later discovers they are in dispute, AccuratePMR reserves the right to take all actions outlined in this section. If items sent to Accurate Precious Metals Refineries are subject to legal disputes, including but not limited to divorce proceedings, liens, lawsuits, or other claims, AccuratePMR reserves the right to hold such items until the dispute is resolved or legal authority is clarified. Claimants or representatives must provide legal documentation (e.g., court orders, settlement agreements, lien releases, or other evidence of ownership) to verify their authority to receive payment or returned items. AccuratePMR reserves the right to retain items or proceeds until such documentation is provided and verified. All legal, administrative, and overhead costs incurred by AccuratePMR in resolving the dispute or determining the rightful recipient, including but not limited to legal counsel fees, will be deducted from the proceeds of any sale or payment before distribution by either liquidating the appropriate amount of items or issuing an invoice to the authorized party, which must be paid before any items are returned. If the authorized party requests the return of unsold items for sentimental reasons, AccuratePMR will provide an invoice for all incurred costs, which must be paid in full prior to release. If the authorized party rejects an offer or fails to provide required documentation within 30 days of notification, AccuratePMR reserves the right to sell the appropriate amount of items to cover these costs, with any remaining proceeds distributed to the verified party. If items have already been sold or payment issued to a party deemed authorized, AccuratePMR may deduct applicable fees and costs from the proceeds. AccuratePMR shall not be liable for any claims, losses, or damages arising from the distribution of funds or items to a party deemed authorized based on provided documentation and legal counsel, and you agree to hold AccuratePMR, its affiliates, employees, and agents harmless from such claims. AccuratePMR reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including recovery of costs, in the event of disputes over distribution.

Payments to Unauthorized Clients

In the event that Accurate Precious Metals Refineries (AccuratePMR) makes a payment to a client who was not authorized to sell the items (e.g., due to legal disputes, lack of ownership, or other unauthorized transactions), and such lack of authorization was not known to AccuratePMR at the time of the transaction, all parties involved agree to hold AccuratePMR harmless from any liability, claims, or damages arising from such payments. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge that AccuratePMR relies on the information provided by the client at the time of the transaction and is not responsible for verifying the authorization of sellers beyond that information.

Any disputes or claims arising from or related to payments made to unauthorized clients shall be subject to the arbitration procedures outlined in Section 20 of our Terms and Conditions (https://accuratepmr.com/terms-and-conditions/). By using our services, you waive your right to file a lawsuit against AccuratePMR and agree to resolve all disputes through binding arbitration on an individual basis, without the right to participate in a class action or representative proceeding. Arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding.

Accepting the Offer

All telephone communications and SMS text messages related to the buying and selling are recorded and comprehensively documented by Accurate Precious Metals Refineries for the purposes of legal compliance, transaction verification, and evidentiary support. At the sole discretion of Accurate Precious Metals Refineries, acceptance of an offer may be confirmed through verbal confirmation over the phone, written confirmation via email to AccuratePMR staff, confirmation via SMS text message to an AccuratePMR-designated number, or by execution of a formal written document provided by Accurate Precious Metals Refineries via secure digital signature (e-sign). These methods of confirmation, as determined by AccuratePMR, shall establish a legally binding and enforceable contract between you (the “Client”) and Accurate Precious Metals Refineries, governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Oregon. Upon providing verbal confirmation during a recorded call, confirmation via SMS text message, or affixing your digital signature to the formal document, as chosen by AccuratePMR, you irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all sales or purchases consummated under this Agreement are final, absolute, and non-cancellable. You expressly waive any and all rights to cancel, revoke, rescind, modify, or otherwise alter the terms of the agreement following confirmation. Any attempt to cancel or revoke the agreement post-confirmation shall constitute a material breach of this contract, entitling Accurate Precious Metals Refineries to pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to the recovery of damages, litigation costs, reasonable attorney fees, and full enforcement of the agreed terms in a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Oregon. You acknowledge and consent to the recording and documentation of all calls and SMS text messages, and agree that such recordings, text messages, as well as any digitally signed documents, may be used as admissible evidence in any legal proceeding arising from this Agreement.

This applies to pieces but not limited to watches, rings, bracelets, chains, necklaces, pendants, earrings, diamonds, coins, bars, jewelry, any form of precious metals, and any items sent to AccuratePMR to be analyzed.

Payment Recipient and Address Policy

Accurate Precious Metals Refineries (AccuratePMR) will make payments exclusively to the original applicant named in the initial mail-in application submitted to AccuratePMR.

Payments will be mailed or otherwise disbursed only to the address provided by the original applicant in the application. AccuratePMR will not mail or send payments to any address different from the originator’s address on file, except in cases where the applicant has officially updated their address through the process outlined in the Change of Address section of this policy.

To verify the identity of the original applicant, AccuratePMR may require additional documentation, such as a valid photo ID (Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport) or completion of the digital KYC verification process described in the Filing an Insurance Claim section. Failure to provide requested verification may result in delayed or withheld payments until the applicant’s identity and address are confirmed. This policy is in place to protect both the applicant and AccuratePMR from fraudulent claims, unauthorized payment diversions, or disputes.

In the event of a request to change the payee’s name or payment address, AccuratePMR will reject such requests unless they comply with the above conditions. If a dispute arises regarding the rightful recipient of a payment, AccuratePMR will follow the procedures outlined in the Disputed Items or Death of a Client sections, as applicable, and may withhold payment until the dispute is resolved. By submitting an application, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that payments will be made solely to the original applicant at the provided address, subject to verification.

Mail-in Shipping Policy

Shipping & Insurance Coverage:

AccuratePMR offers free return shipping for all orders. Insurance coverage for return shipments is provided at no cost, based on the lowest offer price given by AccuratePMR, up to a maximum of $3,000. If the lowest offer price or requested coverage exceeds $3,000, the customer will incur a small incremental cost for postage and insurance, based on the lower of the offer price or requested coverage. You, the client, cannot use your own labels or carrier accounts to ship items from AccuratePMR to your location.

Zero-Value Items: If you request the return of items appraised or valued at $0.00 USD by AccuratePMR, these items will be returned to you at no cost with no insurance coverage. You agree to hold AccuratePMR, its affiliates, employees, and agents harmless for any lost, stolen, or damaged packages during return shipping of zero-value items. If you do not request a return or fail to respond within 7 days of offer, these items will become the property of Accurate Precious Metals Refineries to be disposed of or handled as AccuratePMR sees fit.

Items Not Purchased: For items AccuratePMR chooses not to purchase or offer money for, return shipping will be provided at no cost with insurance coverage up to a maximum of $3,000, based on AccuratePMR’s valuation.

Additional Insurance: If you require insurance coverage above $3,000 for return shipments, you must contact AccuratePMR at [email protected] prior to return shipping and receive digital confirmation of the increased coverage, which will be at your expense. No verbal agreements will be accepted. If you refuse to pay for additional insurance or fail to communicate within 7 days of notification, AccuratePMR will insure the package based on the lowest offer price, up to a maximum of $3,000, at no cost to you.

Example: If AccuratePMR offers $2,500 for an item and you decline, return shipping is free with $2,500 coverage. If the offer is $5,000, coverage is capped at $3,000 unless you pay for additional insurance. If the item has no value ($0 offer), it will be returned with no coverage, and you hold AccuratePMR harmless for any loss.

Receiving Packages from Accurate Precious Metals Refineries Including Returns

Clients agree to the terms and requirements in our general Terms & Conditions.

Many packages require a signature upon delivery from AccuratePMR to the client. Someone must be present, and you are fully responsible for tracking and monitoring the package. It is your responsibility to notify AccuratePMR of any missing, lost, damaged, or delayed packages within 10 days of the ship date. If the package is marked as delivered but you were not present to receive it, you agree to hold AccuratePMR harmless and cannot file an insurance claim.

Liability and Risk of Loss:

Risk transfers to you upon carrier acceptance. AccuratePMR is not liable for transit issues, except to assist with claims based on our appraised value.

By using our services, signing an e-signature, affixing labels, or engaging in any transactions with Accurate Precious Metals Refineries (“AccuratePMR”), you agree to release and hold AccuratePMR, its affiliates, employees, and agents harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, or damages arising from such transactions. You waive any right to pursue claims directly against AccuratePMR and agree to seek recourse
