Shipping & Storage
Transporting specialist items such as delicate glass globes or oversized enamel signage requires a level of care beyond standard courier services. We work closely with our logistical partner, Sackville West, to provide professional packing and transit solutions for collectors.
Specialist Handling
The items we sell are often fragile, heavy, or uniquely shaped. To ensure these pieces are preserved, Sackville West utilizes collector grade packing techniques. This includes bespoke timber crating for glass and neon as well as specialized palletizing for larger petrol pumps and cabinets. Every lot is handled with the technical expertise required for historical advertising.
The Logistical Process
Secure Transfer Following the auction, all uncollected items are securely transferred to the Sackville West facility. This ensures that your purchases are moved immediately into a controlled environment for storage or packing.
Global Transit Sackville West facilitates shipping to collectors both within the UK and internationally. By coordinating the process from the fall of the hammer to the final delivery, we provide a streamlined experience for our bidders regardless of their location.
Shipping Enquiries & Quotes
We recommend that bidders requiring shipping contact Sackville West for a quote prior to the auction. This ensures you are fully informed of the logistical costs before placing your bids.
