SHIPPING

We can offer a delivery service for Lots purchased by packing and  shipping ourselves. If we cannot pack certain items we will recommend third party logistics companies that can help. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale upon request and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs if this is possible. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be calculated, such as furniture, or larger items, upon request you can obtain a recommended Shipping Company either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased. Gorringes do not offer international shipping.

Estimates of Shipping Costs are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.
