PACKING/SHIPPING/INSURANCE: The cost of packing and shipping of purchased lots is the responsibility of the purchaser. We have added personnel to our staff to pack and ship lots purchased by on-line Bidders. A flat fee of $20 is charged for packing & handling of smaller lots, clothing and textiles whether the purchase is for one or multiple lots. For certain lots such as furniture large lots of porcelain, paintings and other items requiring special handling additional charges will be charged. Contact the auctioneer for details. In addition, the actual cost of shipping & insurance will be charged to your account. All shipments are sent via UPS, FedEx or the United States Postal Service and insured for the invoiced amount (hammer price + buyers premium). Lots won by successful online Bidders will be shipped automatically to the address provided on the registration form. The total cost will be charged to the credit card on file with no further bidder authorization required. Due to the volume of shipping anticipated after the sales event, packing and shipping may require up to ten (15) business days from confirmation of payment receipt. Once the package has been shipped, any shipping related issues or claims are between the shipper and the purchaser. CAWACo shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions in the packing and shipping of purchased lots. Bidders requesting shipment to non-US locations are responsible for compliance with customs and/or any other regulations as may apply. Auctioneer will provide needed documentation but makes no representation as to suitability of lots for export. An export license may be required from governmental agencies or departments for the export of lots purchased. It is the sole responsibility of purchasers to familiarize themselves with any license requirements or limitations. CAWACo will have no responsibility with regard to these matters. Inability to obtain a license to export purchased lots into foreign countries shall not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of any purchase.
