Shipping and Storage Policy

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. You have the option to work with any independent shipper who meets your needs. It is best to utilize a shipping partner that has experience in safely transporting valuable antiques and fine art. 888 Auctions assumes no responsibility for error or omission by any third party and 888 Auctions does not recommend any one shipper over another.

In order to provide you with a quote, the shipper will need to know your name as listed on your invoice, the sale name, date, and lot numbers of your items, as well as general information about the type of items you need to ship. Payment for shipping services is due directly to the shipper.

Once arrangements have been made, you must fill out and submit an Authorized Release Form. Please include the shipping franchise location and the name of a contact at the store on your form. We will release your property to the shipper only after we have received this signed form and payment for your purchase.

Items left unclaimed for more than three business days may be subject to additional storage and handling fees. See the 888 Auctions Conditions of Sale for more details. All packing, handling, and shipping is at the sole risk of the buyer. 888 Auctions is not responsible for any loss or damage to items during packing and shipping. The buyer must pay in advance for all packaging expenses, including labor, materials, postage and carrier fees, and all insurance charges.
