Shipping: Each auction item notes in its catalog description whether it can be shipped in-house or will require 3rd party shipping by your own arrangements. For many small items, we provide in-house packing and shipping via UPS and USPS that is done with excellence and is competitively priced. Your invoice will include a shipping fee if we’re able to ship your item, and you are also welcome to contact local third-party shippers or make your own arrangements for pickup or shipping. Items that can be shipped in-house are noted in the catalog. Please see the Terms page on our website for more information on shipping carriers’ insurance policies. Some items must be shipped by your own arrangements — you will need to contact vendors directly for quotes and to make arrangements, and you will pay them directly. Items that require 3rd party shipping by your own arrangements are noted in the catalog. Purchases left at the gallery 30 days after the auction will be considered abandoned and will become the property of Speed King Auctions, with no refund given. you may use any vendor you wish. Your transaction with any 3rd party shipper is entirely between you and the shipper. We are not responsible for fees, handling, timeline, insurance, damage claims or any other part of the transaction with the shipper you choose. Once your items are removed from our gallery, your transaction with us is complete. Additional terms regarding shipping insurance: Shipping insurance is regulated by the chosen carrier, e.g., UPS, USPS, Stamps.com, FedEx, not Speed King Auctions. For more information, please refer to the specific carrier's insurance policies for more details such as exclusions and claim filing time limits. Insurance coverage on item(s) is limited to the purchase price. Accessory charges, e.g., buyer's premium, taxes, shipping and packing cost are not covered. On International shipments the buyer or consignee is responsible for paying all duties, taxes, customs & carrier brokerage fees due upon delivery or entry into your country. Your country's customs may not release the package for delivery until payment is made. Usually, the fees are based on the declared value and nature of the item. Blackwell Auctions uses the purchase price as the declared value on any customs declarations, we will not understate the value of the item.
