L11 - SHIPPING: Shipping may be accommodated. PLEASE NOTE not all items will be eligible for shipping; it will be on a per item basis. If you would like to request shipping for an item, you may contact our office before bidding to see if there are any arrangements that can be made. There will be no international shipping available. Our first priority is to deliver your new purchase in excellent condition. The auction company - through the United States Postal Service, FedEx and/or UPS - can arrange packing, postage, and insurance. Buyer will be solely responsible for any and all shipping costs including pickup fees, postage fees, packing, handling, tracking, insurance and any other associated costs. Packing, postage, and insurance options can be discussed before shipping but not before the items arrive at our office. We can ship using your own FedEx/UPS account to which we can charge the postage. We don’t have the equipment and materials to do any kind of pallet/freight shipping. If you want items shipped, there will be an extra handling fee for our crew to transport all the items back to the office to be packaged. If you want to hire a moving company or freight transport service that picks up, we would be happy to work with whomever you hire – but they would have to package the items and pick up on our scheduled Pickup Day. Vehicles, implements and parts are the sole shipping responsibility of the purchaser.
