(This means if the lot is not marked for shipping available and buyer is not personally retrieving buyer lot then buyer is responsible for researching and acquiring a shipping company to pick up and ship the lot to buyer.) Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC has specific reasons such lots are not marked for shipping and will not be held responsible for lots left past pick up date. Not reading the terms and conditions of the auction is not an excuse for refund as no refund will be given. If you wish to discuss any lots with us, please feel free to contact us PRIOR to the start of an auction close. Please understand, if you fail to read this policy, and you bid on these lots anyway and win, you are 100% RESPONSIBLE for these lots and there is NO REFUND. BIDDER AGREES: Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC will not drop off items at a carrier location nor make arrangements for non shipping lots due to bidder failure to read lot descriptions and/or terms & conditions.

Batteries, light bulbs, etc will be removed prior to packing. ***Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC will not be held responsible if bidder has supplied an incorrect shipping address and/or phone number*** BIDDER AGREES: in the event a package(s) is returned to us via the carrier due to incorrect/insufficient supplied address, bidder will be financially responsible for the shipping charges a second time if they wish to have the package(s) resent. We will resend your package(s) in this situation upon request with the correct address affixed. In the event a bidder has requested a package(s) resend, Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC will charge your card on file again to cover the shipping charges. No additional handling charges apply in this situation. The original shipping charges are non refundable. Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC HIGHLY encourages all bidders to ensure their shipping address supplied to our company is 100% correct and sufficient. We encourage all bidders to contact their local post office if they have any concerns or problems with their shipping address. If a bidder in this situation does not wish to have the package(s) resent, or does not supply Gander & Gavel Auction Co.

No exceptions. ***We follow and abide by shipping carrier guidelines and rules pertaining to items that must be shipped via ground. 3. BIDDER AGREES: Delivery confirmation will be added to invoices of $200 or more. All items shipped regardless of price will be packaged and have a tracking number. If the package shows delivered via tracking number, but buyer has not received the package then it becomes the responsibility of the buyer to contact their post office. As Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC has held up their responsibility to ship the package and it is the shipping service's responsibility to deliver the package; ergo items not delivered is out of Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC's scope of responsibilities. 2. We can look into shipment of larger items (ie: furniture) upon request WELL IN ADVANCE OF AUCTION CLOSE DAY. Please DO NOT BID on non-shipping items if you are out of area/state without PRIOR consultation with one of our auctioneers. Non local/out of state bidder agrees: if they bid on a non shipping lot, and fails to consult with the auctioneer prior to auction close regarding shipping arrangements, bidder will be fully responsible for all shipping charges and arrangements or pick up if they win that lot. 3.

Days outside of pick up days are reserved primarily for cataloguing of auctions at our auction house. 4. BIDDER AGREES: We charge a $5-$20 handling fee PER SHIPPING ENVELOPE AND/OR BOX in addition to carrier shipping charges AND buyer's premium if we take care of the packing & shipping process. Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC does not negotiate handling fees. Handling fees are based on amount of purchased shipping materials used AND the time length it takes to pack boxes. Glassware, as a general rule, will carry higher handling charges due to the materials and labor involved to ensure safe shipment. If you have questions about handling fee charges, please call or email us. We will be happy to talk to you prior to an auction. If your order is deemed very large and labor intensive (this includes but is not limited to: ie. large lots of glassware or china sets, very delicate glassware, tools, larger heavy items, odd shaped items, large items, unusual shaped items, etc.) then our company reserves the right to turn the labor over to UPS for their services. Bidder understands that Gander & Gavel Auction Co., LLC's and UPS handling charges may differ considerably and the cost of handling my be greater than $20. 5. DECLINED CARD: No item or lot or package will be allowed to leave the auction premises without payment via card. If a card is declined this will delay the shipping for items requiring shipping and will delay buyer at pick up. It is the responsibility of the buyer to back their bid by paying for the items and shipping if required. If payment for shipping is not resolved by the 30 day mark then the items will become the property of Gander & Gavel Auction Co., LLC as they will be deemed "abandoned". No refunds given. ***We will honor bidder requests to omit lot items from shipping containers. However, we will not omit ANY lot items from containers unless bidder has granted Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC full permission in detailed writing to do so. ALL winning bidder lot item omissions for shipping requests MUST be in writing or all items will be shipped at winning buyer's expense. Please note the items we will remove that we have already identified in the "terms and conditions" or are not allowed to be shipped by USPS or UPS. ***BIDDER AGREES that if permission is granted in detailed writing for auctioneer to omit shippable lot items from shipping containers, the omitted lot items immediately become the property of Gander & Gavel Auction Co.

BIDDER AGREES: It MAY take up to 7 BUSINESS DAYS after the close of an auction before items ship if we handle the packing and shipping. The 7 business day time frame does not apply if bidder has delayed notifying auctioneers of request for shipping during auction registration. The longer a bidder waits to notify auctioneers of shipping requests, the longer a shipment will be delayed. Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC is a small family owned business. We will do everything we can to get your items out the door as quickly as possible in the days following an auction close. If we opt to turn over the packing and shipping process to UPS: bidder will be notified. Please note, if UPS will be handling your shipping process, Gander & Gavel Auction Co.

LLC will dispose of, resell, or donate these items after 30 days with no refund given. 7. You will see two charges on your payment card. One will be for your auction invoice. The other charge will be for shipping and handling charges. Bidder understands and agrees that the cost of handling, and shipping charged to their card may be greater than the orginal purchase of the auction items. 8. Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC requests that should packing & shipping be turned over to UPS, bidders respond back to messages and/or phone calls in a timely manner so that we may help expedite and arrange the shipping process. Bidder agrees, if they delay response back to our auction company or auctioneers have difficulty reaching bidder, it will continue to delay the shipping process. 9. Terms & conditions still apply to all bidders local and out of area/state. 10. SHIPPING CARRIER CHARGES: Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC does not control carrier shipping charges. Shipping charges may be higher than expected due to the continous rise of shipping costs. Gander & Gavel Auction Co. LLC uses a variety of shipping containers to include flat rate envelopes & boxes.
