- Shipping Info
-
Treasure Trove Auctions offers both in-house and third-party shipping options to accommodate a wide variety of items. While we strive to handle shipping internally, items that are oversized, fragile, framed, or require specialized handling may be outsourced to a trusted third-party shipping agent. All shipping costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Shipping Process & Costs
In-house packaging and shipping are available for many items, with shipping quotes based on the size and weight of the package as determined by the carrier or Treasure Trove. All shipments include insurance and signature confirmation when applicable.
Domestic shipments are handled through UPS, while international orders are processed via DHL, FedEx, UPS, or whichever is most cost-effective for the buyer. Additionally, all items will be insured and declared at their full purchase value, including the hammer price plus premium.

Third-Party Shipping Option
Buyers, both domestic and international, may arrange shipping through a third-party carrier of their choice. However, Treasure Trove Auctions assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions of third-party shippers, even if they are recommended by our team.
International Buyers
International buyers are fully responsible for any duties, taxes, clearance fees, or additional import charges imposed by their country. These fees are not included in the shipping cost and must be paid directly to the appropriate customs authorities upon arrival.
As the auction house, we handle the packing, shipping, and handling of your purchased items with care. However, we are not global import exporters, and as such, buyers must be aware of and comply with their country’s import regulations, restrictions, and legal requirements regarding the items they purchase.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to:
- Verify import laws and restrictions for their country before placing a bid or purchase.
- Cover any customs fees, VAT, or additional import duties required by their government.
- Ensure the item is legally permissible for import into their country.
While our team strives to provide guidance based on past experiences, all final responsibility for customs clearance, import compliance, and associated fees rests solely with the buyer. No refunds or liability will be provided for items delayed, seized, or rejected by customs authorities due to non-compliance with import regulations.
If an item is returned to us due to customs issues, any additional return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.
By placing a bid or completing a purchase, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
