How Much Does Auction House Delivery Cost?
Auction delivery costs vary with distance, the size and fragility of the lot, and how quickly it needs collecting.
Distance
The journey from saleroom to your address is the main factor. Combining lots from the same area can lower the cost per item.
Size and handling
Small, robust lots are cheaper to move than large furniture or fragile glass and ceramics, which need two people and extra protection.
Deadlines and storage
A tight collection deadline can limit scheduling. If needed, short-term storage can be cheaper than paying auction house storage fees.
