How to Arrange Collection From an Auction House

Auction houses expect buyers to collect quickly after a sale. Here's how to arrange auction collection smoothly, especially if you can't get there yourself.

Pay your invoice

Lots are only released once paid. Keep your invoice, it shows the lot numbers the courier will need.

Check the collection deadline

Most salerooms charge storage after a set number of days. Book your courier early to avoid fees.

Authorise the courier

Let the auction house know who will collect. Some need written authority or a booked collection slot.

Share item details

Send the courier the lot numbers, descriptions, dimensions and delivery address. This helps them bring the right vehicle and materials.
