The buyer will be charged actual shipping label cost plus any necessary parcel insurance and a Handling fee. Handling fees are at the discretion of the shipper, and most packages will be charged $6 in Handling fees plus $3 to $6 for any additional lots. For example, a purchase of 5 auction lots might be charged $18-$36 in Handling fees plus the cost of the shipping label. In some cases, items that take more than 15 minutes of time for professional packing service may include some additional Handling fees and cost for packing materials. For those who are closer to the Midwestern United States, the shipper will be able to offer a discounted shipping label cost by shipping from our central processing location in Illinois. The shipper's pricing is very reasonable in comparison with other auction houses and 3rd Party shippers. It is expected that buyers understand the cost of shipping labels and increased labor rates, non-standard box cost, and packing material cost since 2020. In any instance where a buyer is unhappy with the cost of shipping, the Auctioneer will require local pick up by a Uship.com or other courier. ***The Auctioneer is not responsible for filing insurance claims.
