Shipping Your Auction Items |
|
Alderfer Auction offers in-house shipping, subject to limitations. Shipping, handling and insurance fees are additional to the total purchase price. You are responsible for making shipping arrangements. Alderfer Auction never automatically assumes that you want shipping. Please email us with any shipping related questions you may have: shipping@alderferauction.com |
Third Party Shipping |
While we try to provide shipping for most items that our auctions offer, items that are large, heavy or more fragile in nature will need to be shipped by a third party. It is at the discretion of the shipping department to determine which items can be shipped and which will require third-party shipping. Once you arrange shipping, email shipping@alderferauction.com to authorize product release to your shipper. |
Alderfer Auction is not responsible for any damage or loss that may occur via a third-party shipper. |

Jewelry Shipment Policy |
Collector’s/Fine Arts jewelry purchased with a credit card by first time customers of Alderfer Auction will not be express shipped and may take up to 7 – 10 business days to be released for shipping. This hold on shipping does not apply to payment made with cash, money order, wire transfer, payment through a third party bidding platform and payment through PayPal provided that the shipping address on the PayPal transaction matches the shipping address we are provided. |
International Shipping |
Alderfer Auction can provide limited in-house shipping through USPS on international purchases under $200.00 that are not large, heavy or fragile. Purchases over $200.00 or ones not eligible for in-house shipping will be referred to one of our 3rd party shippers. |
Fine Arts & Collector's Shipping |
Due to the oversized, heavy or fragile nature of Fine Art and Collectors Auction items, most items must be shipped via a third-party shipper. See shipper recommendations above. In addition, Alderfer Auction does not have an export license so all international shipments valued at $2,500.00 or higher, including hammer price and buyer’s premium, must be shipped by a third-party shipper. For all other inquiries please email shipping@alderferauction.com
