Shipping Systems
We always use the most suitable shipping materials, boxes, foam and tape to provide a range of custom packaging systems to help with unusual shapes and sizes, or particularly fragile items which require specialist packaging. We offer bespoke packaging and handling, this includes foam packs, custom cartons and full wooden crating. We use the most up-to-date techniques and are happy to consult with you on the best packaging methods.
Our skill in secure packing and custom boxing means that any item, no matter how precious or fragile, will be safe in our hands.
Enhanced Shipping Cover
Our enhanced shipping cover (charged at 2% +VAT of the invoice total) is designed to give you the peace of mind should the unthinkable happen – damage or loss of your package during transit. With our enhanced cover, we will compensate you for the inconvenience of repair or replacement.
Benefits include;
- No excess to pay in the event of a claim
- Simple paperwork
- Parcel tracking
- Proof of delivery
Our shipping insurance is based on the declared value of your shipment and is only applicable if we pack your goods. Our shipping insurance is available up to a maximum of £40,000 per consignment. If your consignment has a value of more than this, we will be happy to discuss options for cover with you.
Export Licences and Restricted Items
A licence from the Department of Trade will be required before certain items such as weapons or firearms and items related to endangered species such as ivory can be shipped. It is the responsibility of the buyer to arrange these licenses, but we are happy to provide advice and assistance. Please contact us for more details if you are unsure at info@flintsauctions.com.
