Shipping
We are pleased to offer postage and packing services for the majority of lots.
Prior to auction most lots are already priced for UK shipping. Please contact us to request the estimated cost – telephone 01543 251081 or email shipping@richardwinterton.co.uk.
We despatch via Royal Mail Special Delivery for smaller items. Prices start from a total of £17.05GBP as follows:
- Our minimum packaging and processing fee of £6 + VAT (£1.20) = £7.20
- Royal Mail Special Delivery (weight up to 100g insured for up to £750) = £6.85
Our in-house postage service includes:
- Checking and organising your purchases
- Invoicing and processing
- Packaging items safely and securely
- Postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery up to the insured maximum price of £2,500.
Large or breakable items and multiple lots, plus any international shipments, can also be packed and sent via major couriers including Parcel Force, UPS and FedEx. We have worked with Mail Boxes Etc for many years to try to keep costs down and our courier has an office onsite at our Fradley HQ.
With such a large variety of lots passing through the auction house, packaging requirements vary extensively. Items are packed to high standards to ensure safe delivery. To cover any extremely rare cases of damage we do have a Compensation Scheme in place which is offered to all customers at extra cost (T&Cs apply).
Please note: Costs vary due to the number of items to be sent, their value, packing materials required and processing time. Richard Winterton Auctioneers will not be held responsible in claims for damage or loss.
