Can I collect in person?
Shipping & Collection · Revised 9 August 2026
Collection in person is not offered. A lot stays with its seller until it is sold, and then travels once: once your payment has cleared, the seller despatches it directly to you under an approved tracked service, within the deadline published on the sale. A tracking reference is sent to the address on the invoice. Where a third party is to receive the lot on your behalf, we require your written authority naming that person.
