Shipping Policy

COLLECTORS & GENERAL SALES
We provide a limited shipping service for our Collectors & General Sales at your own risk.  Please contact the office to see if your lots are suitable for us to post and to get a quote. We ask that you pay and collect or arrange shipping as soon as possible after the sale.
For local delivery of large items we recommend Chester Van Men (07902 867764) (info@chestervanmen.co.uk).
For domestic delivery services outside our local area please try: JG Transport on 07807 132783 sales@jg-transport.co.uk; Simon Cairns at 'S' Xpress Transport 07817 763198 scairns99@aol.com; Flexi Light Haulage 07308 129806 flexilighthaulage@gmail.com or Border Shipping 01869325840 bordershipping@aol.com.
Please contact them directly.


FINE SALES
We provide an in-house shipping service for lots we deem suitable for posting. We charge what we consider to be a reasonable packing fee in addition to the cost of postage which is normally by Royal Mail Special Delivery or a courier service like Parcelforce. This is at your own risk.

Please note that we do not have a dedicated packing department so whilst we aim to respond to shipping requests as quickly as possible they can take 7-10 days at times of particularly high demand.  

If your lots are suitable for posting we will have calculated a quote by the time you receive your invoice so you can call or message us to request this. If there is no quote available , we may still be able to help but we may have to pack the item first in order to get a quote. Please feel free to enquire.

For furniture and other larger or very fragile items outside our local area please try: JG Transport on 07807 132783 sales@jg-transport.co.uk; Simon Cairns at 'S' Xpress Transport 07817 763198 scairns99@aol.com; Flexi Light Haulage 07308 129806 flexilighthaulage@gmail.com or Border Shipping 01869325840 bordershipping@aol.com.

Please note that the couriers mentioned above are third party companies with whom you should make your own arrangements.

We would prefer it if you did not engage Proovia to carry out collections for you as we do not believe them to be the most appropriate carriers for Fine Art, Antique Furniture, Clocks etc. Obviously it is entirely at your discretion, and your risk, if you choose to do otherwise.

If you are collecting in person or using a courier our opening hours are 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. If you are sending a courier please ensure we know who to expect and when so that we can ensure your lots are being released to the right person.
