Large item (Furniture and Architectural) shipping takes time, so please be patient.  Ebay doesn't allow enough time on furniture shipping for the most part, especially when I can go alternate shipping to lower the cost drastically.

We will work with you in any way we can to make this an easier transaction for you, to ship as fast as possible, and to find the best and cheapest method available on shipping. NOTE: Depending on your location, we may be able to get it to you less expensive than the shipping calculator.

Shipping methods vary by piece and destination. The best way to get something to the West Coast will not be the best way to get something to the Midwest, Southeast, or Northeast. We can get estimates for shipping but all options need to be explored to get you the best price. We can give you an estimate UPS or Truck Freight, but may be able to do better, especially if you're East of the Mississippi or up to Mid Texas and Oklahoma.  It's best to contact me for a price if you're in this geographic region.

If you choose to have a piece shipped via alternate methods, you would pay us the winning bid and pay the shipper directly for the shipping cost. We do not make any money from the shipping charges. That money is for the shipping company. If you have another preference on shipping we will work with them but we do not crate furniture. The shippers listed don't require it or take care of it as part of their fee. If a piece needs to be crated for your shipper, The Packaging Depot can take care of it.

Please do not wait until the last minute to contact us or one of the recommended shippers, we may not be able to get back to you before auctions end.

Our preference is to work with a local packing and shipping store that can package and ship furniture and larger items. They use UPS, Fed Ex, Truck Freight to get you the lowest cost via conventional means.  Please add them to your list of contacts for shipping if needed: You can email them at packagingdepot@comcast.net or phone them at 215-536-5554. We discovered years ago that they could pack faster, cheaper, and more reliably on furniture than when we could when we were charging time and materials.

The Packaging Depot will gladly give you an estimate of shipping costs to your home. You will need your zip code and the EBay number. They will use the best method, either UPS Ground, Fed Ex, or Truck Freight. They are price competitive and do a lot of EBAY shipping and know how to get the best shipping price. Please note they are closed Saturday and Sunday so don't wait until the last minute to contact them. They will check their email on weekends at home but they may not be able to get back to you before my auction ends.

For longer range, truck freight,  you can try USHIP.   This is a company with members who will bid on your shipment. You will need your zip code, my zip code (18951), and the Ebay number.   You can link to them from the USHIP Icon below.

We have been having great success with USHIP. They are a network of independent truckers whose members bid on shipping prices on your piece. We are very close to I-78 and the PA Turnpike. I've been using them for a couple of years and they are now a Certified Ebay Shipping Provider. You can link to them from the icon below and sign up for your own account. When you put a piece out for bids, you will need your zip code, my zip code 18951, the ebay number, and the weight. Please note that bids may take some time to find the right person at the right place at the right time and you will get more bids after you've bought the piece than when you're at the investigation stage.

Please note that shipping to your home may take 3-6 weeks on furniture. Please be patient. The actual shipping time from our store to your door will vary and is out of my hands. I gladly drop things off at the Packaging Depot if that's your choice at no charge to you, but the actual shipping is in their hands.   Other shippers pick up, some are in the area only every 2 weeks and going to your area every 2-3 weeks. 

If a shipping calculator appears to be wrong or not coming up, please contact us so we can check for errors. Ebay has a problem on not calculating large oversize UPS boxes, even when everything is correct. Our shipping calculator is for an estimate only.

Just to give you an indication of shipping steps:

• Item is sold
• We send invoice marking item as local pickup only (Don't be alarmed with this).
• Buyer Pays us for item only.
• We contact our shippers for a shipping prices if buyer doesn't have their own shipper. We also explain other options and give you time to look at the other options.
• If this is going through the Packaging Depot, We make arrangements with the packaging depot to drop it off. If not, you or the other shipper will contact us.
• If it's going through the Packaging Depot, they wraps it, and get it ready for UPS pickup or drop off at the truck dock.
• If it's getting shipped any other method, we hold it for pickup by alternative shippers.
• Note: shipping from my store to your door is dependent on how fast you follow through and we find a shipper.  There is no set rule on this for time.

Please take the time to read our auction terms. Bidding signifies you are in agreement with these terms.

On larger pieces and pieces we set up alternate shipping, we ask you pay us for the item and the shipper for the shipping.  It's much easier for you to talk to them directly on timing.

Although we prefer personal pickup on larger items, we would consider delivery (with a charge) depending on location. Please contact us and we will tell you how much that would be and if we would deliver to your area. We would like pickup at our location to be within 30 days. We cannot store furniture past 60 days. Items left after 60 days are forfeited unless prior arrangement has been made.

All payments are due within 7 days of auctions end unless prior arrangement has been made. Payment MUST be received via PayPal or credit card directly to us IN ADVANCE BEFORE item is picked up or shipped out.

All Sales are Final unless we grossly misrepresent something in our description or our pictures.

Pennsylvania residents must add 6% sales tax.

We leave feedback for everyone who leaves it for us. As a seller, a positive feedback to us is a sign of satisfactory merchandise and a good concluded sale.

Thank you for looking at our auctions, have fun bidding, and good luck.

International Buyers:   Only PAYPAL payments will be accepted.
