POSTAGE AND PACKING

We understand that it’s not always possible to be at the sale or collect your winning lots in person so we are happy offer a packaging and postal service. Please contact us for a quote. We are not professional packers or shippers but are now very experienced. We will do our best to ensure that your parcel is packed in a way to ensure the item is safe for its journey. Please contact us so we can advise if the lot is suitable for sending on. If we cannot post the lot to you due to size or weight, you are welcome to arrange collection by another carrier. A list of our recommended carriers is detailed at the bottom of this page.

If you were bidding via www.the-saleroom.com, due to increased security measures, we will only despatch parcels to the registered cardholder’s address. Any requests for parcels to be sent to an alternative address are at the discretion of the auctioneer.

All small packages and “jiffy bags” sent within the UK mainland are sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery and can be insured up to £500.

ALL BOXES within the UK mainland are sent via Parcelforce 48, TNT,  DHL or Fed-Ex. We remind customers that ITEMS CANNOT BE INSURED due to the nature of our lots and the carriers’ terms and conditions.

Items are normally sent within seven days of payment but we are unable to guarantee delivery times.

For items being sent outside the UK mainland (including Ireland and the rest of Europe), we will send packages using Parcelforce Worldwide, TNT, DHL or Fed-Ex but most items that we sell (due to their antique nature) cannot be insured using this service and the costs of these services will be priced on size and weight of the parcel. For a quotation, please send the full postal address to enquiries@jsauctions.co.uk

Commission and Telephone Bids

 

If instructed, the Auctioneers will execute bids and advise prospective purchasers. This service is free. Lots will always be purchased as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. In the event of iden­tical bids, the earliest received will take precedence. There must always be a maximum limit indicated. ‘Buy’ or unlimited bids will not be accepted. Commission bids placed by telephone are accepted at the client’s risk.. All bids are accepted exclusive of buyers premium and VAT.

 

Written confirmation of telephone bids from persons unknown to the Auctioneers must be received before the commencement of the sale. Whilst every effort will be made to execute telephone bidding, the Auctioneers cannot be held respon­sible for any default or neglect in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the prospective buyer’s risk.

 

It is recommended that all requests for telephone and commission bids are received by the auctioneers by the end of day prior to the auction. While every attempt will be made to execute such bids received on the day of the auction, it is not always possible to do so at this late stage.

 

Please note that any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service will be subject to an additional 3% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price.

No lots may be removed without payment of the full purchase price and the purchaser’s premium includ­ing any VA.T. unless any prior arrangements have been made. All lots are at the purchaser’s risk after his highest bid has been accepted by the Auctioneers. All lots must be removed at the purchaser’s risk and expense by 5pm on the Monday following the sale, in default of which the goods will be removed and stored at a charge of £10.00 plus V.A.T. per week per lot, plus any transport costs. The Auctioneers shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind while the lot is in their or their agents’ custody. In the event of any breach of these conditions by the purchaser the Auctioneers reserve the right to re-sell any lot without further notice by public or private sale and any loss arising from such sale together with all charges and expenses shall be made good by the defaulter. Purchasers shall be charged interest on any account unpaid for more than 7 days from the date of sale at the rate of 6.5% per month or part month.

of estimate.

All lots unsold must be removed by the vendor within 7 days of the sale, items not collected by this time will be re-offered for sale without reserve. If the said lots remain unsold after reoffering, and are not collected by the vendor, they will be disposed of at the vendors cost.

 

 

 

Payment

 

Settlement is normally made to a Vendor approximately 14 working days after the sale. The Auctioneers act as agents and are thus not liable for any default by the purchaser. The Auctioneers will pay the net proceeds of the sale to the Vendor, provided that the Auctioneers have been paid by the purchaser. The Auctioneers shall be entitled to withhold or set off any liability of the Vendor to the Auctioneers on any account against any sale proceeds otherwise due to the Vendor.
