While the impact of the COVID-19 crisis has impacted their industry, they are dedicated to helping their customers get through this together. Retail jewelers have, for the most part, been closed for months now. However, tradesman and some manufacturers/shops have continued working throughout the "shelter in place" order. UPMR has worked with those shops that remained open to fulfill orders and liquidate much of the stock items they had prior to shutting down their wire, sheet and tube production.
Pawnshops, providing an essential function as financial institutions, have also continued to function during the pandemic. At UPMR, they've seen an influx of refining lots from pawnshops around the country and from parts of Latin America that continue to export goods to the U.S.
At UPMR, they've implemented social distancing protocols as well as new health and safety regulations and procedures both for their personnel as well as for the metals they refine and products they make. As the virus has been shown to survive on metal surfaces for days, they continue to sanitize metals both incoming for refining and outgoing as new jewelry products made from 100% recycled gold and silver. Production personnel mandated to utilize PPE (personal protection equipment) such as gloves, masks and face guards to safeguard both their employees and their customers.
Regarding Gold Prices: As many customers have noticed, the actual gold price has been difficult to obtain over the past few weeks when checking with online, non-trading sources. For years, professionals dealing in precious metals have turned to indicator websites which, until recently have been somewhat reliable. Interestingly enough, some of these websites who actually allow customers to trade with them do not honor the price they are quoting on the screen. If you search through the site or call them for actual pricing, you'll be surprised just how different the price is from what they'll pay to what the site(s) is saying. To obtain the actual gold price, contact UPMR at 1-800-999-FINE (3463) and press "8" to be connected to the Trading Desk.
The combination of their innovative products, refining expertise, our state-of-the-art analytical laboratory, it’s no wonder their customers refer to them as “Simply the Best.”
