In-House Packing and Postage Service
Irita Marriott Auctioneers provides a secure in-house postage service. If you require our shipping services, please note you’ll need to request a quote after your successful bid has been made. Then the total amount of shipping and packaging will be added to your invoice.
While we strive to pack items carefully to ensure their safe arrival, we are not professional packers or shippers. Irita Marriott Auctioneers cannot accept liability for any loss or damage during transit. Claims may be possible through Royal Mail or your chosen carriers, but we cannot guarantee their success.
We aim to despatch items with 10 working days after the auction has ended.
