Free Local Pickup (Appointment Only) Because we handle a high volume of lots and do not provide in-house shipping, please allow 7-10 business days after cleared payment for order processing and release to any shipper (including LiveAuctioneers Shipping or a carrier arranged by the Buyer). This handling window covers locating, consolidating, and preparing items for pickup; it is not a carrier transit estimate. Shipper pickup schedules are controlled by the shipping provider, and occasional delays may occur due to volume, weekends/holidays, weather, or carrier availability. Shipping address: To avoid shipping delays, please provide a physical shipping address at checkout and ensure it is correct. Questions: email info@atomicpear.com and reference your invoice number. Pickup - Appointment Only Pickup is by appointment only and requires 24-hour notice. Items are released only after cleared payment and presentation of valid ID by the Buyer or an authorized agent. Order readiness: Because Atomic Pear processes a high volume of lots, most orders are typically ready for pickup within 5-7 business days after auction close (some fragile/multi-lot orders may require 7-10 business days). Pickup appointments are scheduled in the order requests are received; limited appointment availability may require dates beyond the stated windows. Local pickup buyers are responsible for NY sales tax unless they have a valid exemption on file. Removal deadline; storage; abandonment Items must be removed from our facilities within ten (10) days of the end of the auction unless an extension has been arranged in writing. Items are stored at the Purchaser's risk. A storage fee of $10.00 per day, per item may be assessed if items are not removed within the stated timeframe, regardless of size or value. Unless prior written arrangements have been made, any item left in our facilities for more than ninety (90) days may, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed abandoned. Before resale/disposal, Atomic Pear may provide notice to the email and/or mailing address on file. If the item is sold, storage and processing fees will be deducted and any remaining balance will be mailed to the address on file (where permitted by law and platform policy).

Delays or denial of import/export permissions do not cancel the obligation to pay.
