Gold running errands and purchasing become popular, lawyer reminds there are risks in gold purchasing.

Recently, some consumers have taken advantage of the price difference and used the services of errand runners in Shuibei, Shenzhen to purchase gold bars during the rise in gold prices. Out-of-town consumers found that there are some vendors in the Shuibei market who can sell gold below the real-time price, so they immediately contacted errand runners to save nearly ten thousand yuan. This phenomenon of offline gold purchasing has also sparked discussions among the public. Lawyers have expressed that consumers buying gold offline through errand runners and then shipping it out may seem simple, but it actually carries extremely high risks. Each party involved in this process - consumers, errand runners, and delivery companies - faces legal risks. In addition, experts warn that gold, being valuable and small in size, is a high-risk item during transportation and may be lost or damaged. Consumers should purchase gold from legitimate banks or physical gold stores and should request legitimate transaction receipts and invoices from the stores.
