In a recent mystery shopper study, TNS - who are the world's largest Custom Market Research specialist - has concluded that Postgoldforcash.com is the number one gold buying company of all major TV advertisers in the UK. With many Gold buying companies available, Postgoldforcash.com can now prove by independent research that they can provide the best value to the thousands of people sending in their gold each week.

With over 18 years' experience, TNS is a market leader in implementing Mystery Shopping programmes across every sector of the market. TNS tested the top 3 TV advertisers and discovered Postgoldforcash.com pays well over double the price paid by these companies.

Postgoldforcash.com commissioned this piece of independent research into the market in December 2009, when it became apparent that some companies were paying customers poor prices for their gold. In an effort to find out who provides the best value, the company employed leading independent market research company TNS to carry out an independent investigation into the leading TV advertisers in this sector. All participants in the research - including postgoldforcash.com - were measured anonymously on a series of service and price tests over a number of weeks and over a number of transactions.

Clive Nicolaou, Director of TNS Research, said:

"Our field team sent out 35 packs of Gold and Silver to seven companies and found across a range of factors we tested, that Postgoldforcash came out top."
