Shipping Policy
The following information is for guidance. We don't know what you are buying so we can't be accurate until the lot is bought and an address registered.
If your bid relies on postage/shipping, then please read the below and get in touch with us if you have any queries. Please read the important information and auction information prior to bidding, postage queries can be asked as a condition report on all platforms prior to bidding. Please be aware that not all items may be postable, but we will try help as much as we can.
Timed auction postage will vary, read the relevant auction details.
Guidance on Postage and Couriers
General Auctions:-
Select 'request shipping quote' from your invoice.
We ship items in Large Letter, Small Parcel and some Medium Parcel options, charges vary depending on weight and value but start at £15+vat and go up to £25+vat.
We may be able to offer a boxed, pack, measure, weigh service on selected lots. On request we will then send you the dimensions for you to arrange the courier collection of your choice. Email us back the label to attach to the box and we will hand over to the appointed service. There is a charge for this service.
Items are assessed on a first requested, first paid basis, if you require priority shipping please pay and instruct quickly. We assess all requests on Mondays when our postal princess, Courtney, is in work.
Requests received and paid will be normally sent out by Wednesday following the auction.
Overseas, wrap & pack, larger lots, weighty or requests if paid later will be normally packed by the Friday following an auction.
You should advise us if you have employed the services of a courier like Mailboxes or Pack & Send, that you have made payment and the name of the business collecting on your behalf. Non-compliance could result in goods not being released at your cost for re-booking not Spicer's.
If you are unsure please ask for a quote before bidding and we will more than happily check the lot/s for you.
Communication is key. Keep your details up to date. We always communicate by email in the first instance, check your spam, your security might block our messages. Late or non-responses will result in a block on your account. Let's keep the wheels turning and avoid unnecessary delays.
If you can't pay within 3 days and arrange your shipping within 5 days of the auction ending, please don't bid or contact us in advance at least and receive an email acknowledgement to confirm payment and shipping notification.
