SHIPPING AVAILABLE
Yes, we offer shipping through FedEx and USPS, but not everything can be shipped. Contact us if you have questions.
UNSHIPPABLE ITEMS
We cannot ship:
• anything with liquids or gas
• anything with batteries
• gunpowder, primers, firecrackers, or other items deemed “dangerous goods” by USPS
• taxidermied animals (outside of Idaho).
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BIDDING
1. We ship to the address you register with in your account information, NOT to the billing address in your credit card information. Buyer must confirm correct shipping address. Packages returned due to incorrect address are reshipped at the buyer’s expense.
2. Shipping is never guaranteed unless the bidder has confirmed it with the auctioneer prior to auction close. The auctioneer reserves the right to deem an item unshippable due to size, weight, or destination.
3. STANDARD SHIPMENTS: If both of the following are true, there is no need for you to call us for shipping approval:
• The shipping address is in the lower 48 United States,
• And the items fit in a 24” x 18” x 18” or smaller box, do not weigh more than 70 lb. total, and do not include anything deemed unshippable.
4. If a buyer has not received prior approval and buys an item deemed unshippable, the buyer must pay a RESTOCKING FEE of 30% of item price ($10 minimum).
5. Items that are fragile or have to be dismantled may have additional charges for special care or packaging materials.
6. Ship-out date is generally the Wednesday following the auction. Tracking will be provided.

ARTWORK (LARGER THAN 18” x 24”), EXTRA LARGE, HEAVY, OR FRAGILE ITEMS

Even with special packaging, picture glass is prone to breakage. It is not covered by insurance, and buyer assumes the risk.
FIREARMS
• We ship only to FFL Dealers in the United States via FedEx. (Exception: We do NOT ship firearms to California, Connecticut, Cook County Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, or Washington D.C.)

Buyers are responsible to know the regulations regarding the legality of gun purchases for their state and provide us with the FFL Dealer to ship to.
