Shipping your winnings
Cost-effective shipping & insurance
We ship NZ and AUS wide.
Once you have paid for your winnings you can contact us to arrange shipping. We offer in-house packaging for smaller items and recommend our local Pack & Send for other items.
In-house packing
Items marked as "Inhouse packing available" can be packed by us.
We provide this as a service however offer no insurance.
The courier we use will carry insurance for their neglect and packages will be sent Signature Required.
NOTE: We do our best to ensure your items are packed well, with good spacing between items and box walls. Each item packed will incur a small processing fee and a cost for packing materials.
Insured shipping
If you wish to attain a pre-purchase quote for shipping or require insurance with your shipping, then we highly recommend our local Pack & Send Papanui.
Discounted insurance
Generally, transit insurance is charged at 4% of the package value however as a preferred company we can offer 2%.
NOTE: Adding the insurance cost to your purchase still makes the cost of buying through us significantly lower than other auction houses.
What to insure your item for?
We hope your winnings cost you less than they might if you purchased from a gallery or other retail outlet.
It then makes sense that you might insure your items for more than you purchased.
All items won can receive a formal insurance valuation post-purchase to aid with your transit insurance or contents insurance once received.

Our associated company Fine Antiques can provide a 25% discount on reporting before your items are shipped.
