<b>IMPORTANT – SHIPPING INFORMATION</b>
Handling, Shipping & Insurance Costs are in addition to the purchase price and buyer’s premium. TW Conroy staff packages and ships many purchases for you. For highly valuable, especially fragile, and over-sized items, TW Conroy defers handling to outside “professional shipping” services. Explanations and options are presented below:
<b>“Small” Items (Less Than 30” In Any Dimension)</b> – As a rule, TW Conroy staff will process such items, unless it is our belief that your interests are best served by a professional shipping service. TW Conroy assessed fees include actual shipping charges via U.S. Priority Mail + actual insured value for the combined amount of the purchase price and buyer’s premium + handling fees. All items are shipped from zip code 13027; insurance is a requirement to protect your purchase in the event of loss or damage.
Generally, handling fees can range from $6 - $20 per customer transaction (the more “complicated” the packaging, the higher the fee) with the average cost being $10. For instance, a single item purchase of a cup and saucer would likely cost $8-$10 for handling, while a 32 piece china set might cost $16-$18.
TW Conroy uses ONLY NEW, clean packaging materials, including boxes, bubble wrap, peanuts & tape. The firm does not spare any materials when packing; your items are treated with loving care. The firm is not seeking to profit on shipping related fees… just to recoup its costs for materials and labor. And remember, when you buy more at auction… the less expensive it becomes on a per item basis for shipping & handling.
<b>“Large” Items (More Than 30” In Any Dimension)</b> – These items, along with items that are particularly expensive and/or highly fragile, are best handled by a professional shipping service. TW Conroy often places you in contact with one of these shipping services, but it is the responsibility of the buyer to make all the arrangements with the shipper. TW Conroy does NOT collect shipping fees in such instances; this is a direct transaction between the buyer & the shipper. Also, no item can be released from the TW Conroy premises for shipment until the purchase price and buyer’s premium are paid in full to TW Conroy.
Furniture, large paintings and other fragile items may require crating or extra-special handling. We recommend that you contact <b>Crate & Freight</b>, a Syracuse, NY processor experienced in the handling of art & antiques, at<b> (315) 478-0055 or email ship@crateandfreight.net</b>
