Shipping Policy
Young’s Auctions offer postage on certain items (subject to size and packing requirements).
PACKING AND SHIPPING SERVICE AVAILABLE TO UK ONLY, international buyers must arrange their own packing and shipping.
Please note that we are not professional packers; shipping is at the buyer’s risk and Young’s Auctions cannot be held liable for any breakages in transit. Parcels will be sent with insurance unless otherwise stated.
We operate a five tier handling fee (£10, £15, £18, £20, £25) and the applied rate will be determined by Young’s Auctions. In addition to the handling fee, the purchaser will be required to pay the postage fee + VAT.
Parcels will be sent by Royal Mail 24 or 48 With Signature, Special Delivery, or Parcelforce, depending on value/size/weight.
Shipping requests should be submitted within 7 days of the auction to expedite the shipping process. Please be patient as we receive a large quantity of postage requests following an auction. It can take up to 7 business days to send a revised invoice to you.
Please ensure that your delivery address is correct. Young’s Auctions cannot be held liable for sending a parcel to an address that was incorrectly provided.
We advise buyers that have requested shipping to wait for the amended invoice before paying. This will help speed up the shipping process.
Items that we do not post include:
• Weapons (including antique guns) and bladed items.
• Paintings, Pictures, Mirrors, glazed frames.
• Alcohol.
• Furniture and large rugs/carpets.
• Most clocks.
• Large, bulky, or heavy lots, or a large quantity of lots.
• Most glass and ceramics, and fragile items.
For these items you can contact local couriers. We cannot recommend a particular courier, but local courier services that clients have used in the past include 'Part and Parcel', tel. 01252 545611, email shipping@partandparceluk.com ; 'Pack and Send', in Guildford, tel. 01483 338 799, email guildford@packsend.co.uk, and finally 'Mail Boxes Etc.' in Guildford, tel. 01483 453131, email info@mbeguildford.co.uk.
If a buyer wishes to use a courier of their choice, a mutually convenient date/time will need to be agreed and any packaging requirements will attract a charge (see handling fees above). If Young’s Auctions is requested to pack an item, we cannot be held liable for any breakages in transit.
We recommend that you contact us before the sale to confirm if shipping is available for the lot(s) that you are interested in, particularly if you are interested in multiple lots.
