Do not send requests to any other email address. If you request packing before payment has been made, we will not action your request and you will not be added to the packing list until payment is received, this will delay your dimensions being sent.

Please be aware that we have many requests to wrap/palletise items and must be given chance to do so. Items will not be ready for collection the day after the auction due to this. Please do not organise collections until we have notified you that your items are ready, this may take a day or two depending on when you request packing as it is on a first paid, first request basis. Please be precise when requesting packing as if we have to repackage your items, or you request packing and collect in person after packing, there is a charge of £25.00 + VAT.
The courier collection is a contract between the buyer and the courier company and we are not responsible for any damage/losses incurred once items are in the hands of the courier.
We no longer accept collections booked through P4D from our premises.
Please note we will not palletise or package items for third party delivery under any circumstances.
Unfortunately, we will no longer refund deposits for buyers collecting in person or requesting packing until the items have been collected in full. Items left without the auctioneer’s authorisation will be liable for a storage charge of £10.00 per day + VAT per lot from the sale day. If the storage charges outweigh the hammer price the Auctioneers reserve the right to re-sell any items to cover these costs.
Any buyers who default on payment and collection of purchased items by the end of the payment period will be “blacklisted” and publicly barred from all further i-bidder and in-house sales.
