- Shipping Info
-
The buyer is responsible for all associated shipping costs.
To expedite shipping, we recommend payment by Visa® or MasterCard®, cashier's/certified check or money order.
Standard shipping charges include our packing fee and the cost of shipping with insurance (based on current UPS or USPS fees). A handling fee may be charged for packages that must be taken to the Post Office. Alternate shipping options
Our account with UPS provides for a daily pick up, therefore no handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS.
Special requests for alternate methods of shipping are acceptable, but may result in an additional cost to you.
We pack for shipping only upon request and we work in order of request.Once a package is ready to ship it is weighed, measured and processed through the USPS and/or UPS system in order to determine cost of shipping including insurance and additional services (e.g. delivery confirmation) as applicable.Shipping charges include a fee for packing time and materials. Our time is billed at $15.00 per hour and we use recycled materials whenever possible at no cost to the buyer. If purchased supplies (e.g. boxes) are used, that cost is passed on to the buyer as part of the packing fee.(Our $15.00/hour fee is prorated, therefore if a packing job requires 30 minutes and no purchased supplies, the total packing fee would be $7.50.)The actual cost of shipping/insurance and packing/materials cannot be determined until packing is completed. Once known, the shipping charges are applied to the buyer’s invoice and he/she is notified of the cost by email (or by phone if we have no email).We may pack/ship for 150-250 people after each auction. The entire post-auction process generally takes 2-3 weeks to complete.We work as quickly as possible, however, not everyone can be first in line. If you are are in the second half of our packing order, it may be 2-3 weeks before your package ships. We appreciate your patience and assure you that we will take excellent care of your items.
Buyers are not obligated to accept our packing/shipping service and are welcome to make other arrangements if desired.
