The Shopping Channel, a division of Rogers Broadcasting Limited, is Canada’s largest on-line jewellery retailer, with more than 20 years experience in direct-to-customer sales and shipping, and reliably fulfills upwards of 10,000 customer orders each and every day. Leveraging this experience and expertise, here is how our process works:

Once the package is received in our facility and logged, it is unpacked, weighed, and tested to determine the value of your goods. For your protection we videotape this process, keeping your package secure.

When the package is opened we verify that everything listed is included. After taking inventory of your package, we proceed to weigh and analyze each item in order to determine a value.

We also keep you informed during the process, making sure you never have to wonder what is happening with your precious metals. We notify you when the Gold Exchange shipping kit is sent to you, provide you with tracking information for when you ship the kit back to us, let you know when we’ve received it in our facility, and then finally when the process is complete. Our Customer Care Department (1-800-994-5101) is also available to help you and answer your questions.
