Jim Railton auction at Springwood Park, Kelso

ENQUIRIES If you require further information on lots we are happy to receive enquiries via email. Please note that requests for further information must be made prior to Monday 13th March. After this date we are unable to guarantee that we will be able to respond to your query. PAYMENT By UK cheque, bank transfer, cash or by Paypal. Payment must be cleared before purchases can be removed. A Buyer’s Premium of 20% will be charged to the purchaser on the hammer price; this Premium is subject to VAT. POSTAGE, PACKING, CARRIAGE AND SHIPPING We are not a shipping company but will pack and post suitable items, if given precise instruction by the purchaser. On "the fall of the hammer", if successful, the items become your goods. Purchasers must then pay for their items on receipt of the invoice. As soon as items are paid for, they will go into the queue for despatch, postage and packing. Please give precise instructions on exactly how you would like items sent. We will then act on your instructions and bill you accordingly. Postage quotes - due to the unique and varied nature of auction items, it is not possible to give exact postage/shipping quotes in advance of the sale. (We cannot weigh and measure everything!) We recommend that you see below for examples of past postage/shipping costs. Or contact your local shipping companies in advance of bidding, to obtain a quote yourself from your own carrier. It can be cheaper for purchasers this way. All purchases must leave our warehouse within two months of the auction, or storage fees will be applied. Delivery time - please be aware that items have to be packed and returned to our warehouse in Northumberland after an auction. Due to the time required to wrap, transport and unpack, it will not usually be possible to start posting items until two weeks after the sale. Examples of past postage/carriage costs Please note that the figures below do not include our packing and materials fee. This is extra and will vary according to the items. For example a piece of jewellery can be bubble wrapped and dropped into a jiffy bag, sealed and labelled in a quarter of an hour. But a dinner service can take four hours to wrap individual pieces and double box into various cartons, which have to be parcelled up individually. Our porter's labour and materials are charged "at cost", and we try to keep such charges to a minimum. The past quotations generally reflect the cheapest method of carriage. They do not include insurance, and are likely to reflect the slowest method of delivery. Small picture 7.25in x 6.25in (2.4kg) £7.20 UK, £36.35 Overseas.
