SHIPPING AVAILABLE
Yes, we offer shipping through FedEx and USPS, but not everything can be shipped.
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).
Ammo must be shipped via FedEx. (Minimum S&H for FedEx is $30.)
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. If the lot you are bidding on fits in a 24” x 18” x 18” or smaller box and does not include any items deemed unshippable, there is no need to call for shipping approval. If the lot is larger, please confirm with us that the item is shippable before bidding.
3. Shipping for non-standard lots 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.
If a buyer has not received prior approval and buys an item deemed unshippable, the buyer must pay a restocking fee of 30% of invoice price ($10 minimum).
3. Items that are fragile or have to be dismantled may have additional charges for special care or packaging materials.
4. Our ship-out date is the Wednesday following the auction. Tracking will be provided.
