Terms & Conditions

Shipment Handling: Due to ongoing global shipping regulation changes, especially affecting shipments from Asia to the USA, we have adjusted our shipping policy to ensure greater reliability and transparency. Our default policy is as follows: for total purchases below $100, we use Registered Post at a flat rate of $15. This service is non-insured and typically takes 3-4 weeks for delivery. For total purchases of $100 or more, shipping is automatically upgraded to DHL Express at minimum rate of $30. DHL provides full tracking, faster delivery within 4-5 business days, and best of all, U.S. buyers do not pay any import tax or customs fees. If your total is under $100 but you prefer faster DHL shipping, simply contact us after the auction to upgrade your parcel. As most items in our auctions, are compact and lightweight, we strongly recommend that you combine multiple lots. Winning just one or two items and paying full shipping is often not cost-effective. The more you win, the better your shipping value, as costs increase very little with added weight. We will automatically combine all your winnings into one shipment whenever possible. 'As Is' Sale Policy: All items are sold 'as is' without warranties regarding condition, quality, or quantity. ThousandPlanet descriptions aim to be accurate and are based on subjective assessments. All sales are final. ThousandPlanet do not accept returns, exchanges, or offer refunds once an item has been sold. This ensures fairness and certainty in the auction process. Buyer's Premium: A buyer's premium will be added to the hammer price of each item, a standard practice in auctions. The total purchase price includes this premium. Accuracy of Descriptions: Descriptions should be considered guides. ThousandPlanet encourage bidders to do their own research, or request more information as needed before auction. Our ThousandPlanet team is ready to assist with additional details to help in your decision-making process. Responsibility of Bidders: It is the bidder's responsibility to understand ThousandPlanet's terms and conditions, as well as any specific conditions related to particular auctions or items. ThousandPlanet are committed to transparency and are available to answer any questions about the auction process or specific items. Buyer's Due Diligence: Buyers are responsible for their own due diligence, including reviewing all provided materials and engaging external expertise if necessary. We are not liable for inaccuracies in condition reports or descriptions. ThousandPlanet does not own any auction lots; all lots belong to different consignees. Customer Support: If you have any issues or questions regarding payment, our ThousandPlanet customer service team is available to assist you. ThousandPlanet are dedicated to providing a seamless and positive experience throughout the payment process.
