Shipping Details:
Successful bidders are expected to make their own arrangements for shipping of items purchased through our auctions. If you choose to have your items shipped to you by Baldwin’s your lots will be sent via Special Delivery for those who live within the UK. This allows us to keep track of your parcel and compensates the package in case it goes missing. You are guaranteed by Royal Mail to receive this before 1pm the next working day, however Baldwin’s cannot be held responsible for items that are delayed by Royal Mail.
Purchasers that live overseas will have their lots sent via ‘International Signed For’ delivery. Again, all items are tracked but only until they leave the UK – once they have left the UK the purchaser can track the item through the relevant postal system website using the tracking number provided by Baldwin’s.
If you have purchased numerous lots from our auction or the value of your items is exceptionally high we encourage you to have your items couriered using Fed Ex (Overseas) or Parcel Force (Overseas and UK). Prices for postage and packaging by this method will be higher so please contact a member of Baldwin’s staff on +44(0)20 7930 9808 for a quote.
We do not have the facility to ship large items so you will therefore need to make alternative arrangements.
Shipping of larger lots (over 5kg) will need to be arranged by the purchaser:
