Shipping
Each auction has a specific pick-up date and a per-auction shipping policy.
Our shipping partner is Canada Post and shipping is available for smaller items only.
The maximum weight of packages is 30kg (66lb) per piece within Canada. If there is more than one package, each will need to have their own waybill.) Please note that items will be shipped only after they are paid in full. Items are professionally packaged to arrive intact and are shipped at buyer’s own risk.
Fees
There is a $25.00 handling fee for the first package prepared for shipping (with $15.00 for each additional package) plus the actual postage and insurance costs.
Heavy and large items are costly to ship so please take this into consideration when placing your bids.
Items that cannot be shipped
Karla’s Auction does not offer shipping on ammunition, primers, or powder, and these items are for pick-up only. Please consider this when placing bids. Note also that we do not ship furniture.
Canada Post guidelines lists about shipping fragile items: Canada Post shall have no liability for damage of shipments containing fragile items. Canada Post insurance does not cover anything considered fragile. “Fragile Items” means items of an inherently fragile nature such as, but not limited to, glass, framed glass, mirrors, crystal, ceramics, pottery, porcelain, and china.
Pick-up
We encourage winners of items to please arrive on the posted date during the advertised hours to pick up their items. Our business depends on the strategic use of our space, and in some cases, items are in a rented building and/or a consignor’s home. As much as we would like to, we simply do not have space to store items.
As such, failure to pay, pick up items, or arrange shipping by the last business day of the week (Friday) after the scheduled pick-up day could result in the forfeiting of items without a refund.
At times a fee may be charged for items that are not picked up on time so please note that Karla’s Auction reserves the right to charge a non-negotiable $5.00 per day storage fee until items are picked up.
