SHIPPING/HANDLING: Shipping WILL be offered for this auction. ** You must contact our office if you are a winning bidder and would like us to ship your items! Phone: 319-624-3779 or Email: [email protected]. Shipping charges will appear as a separate charge after purchases are packed and ready for shipping. We will attempt to combine items into as few parcels as reasonably possible to reduce the shipping costs. Wears Auctioneering cannot estimate shipping costs and until items are boxed for shipping we will not know the cost of shipping. We charge what the carrier charges us without any mark up. All purchases will be shipped to the buyers via USPS or UPS Ground, depending on size of parcel. Handling will be calculated as 50% of the cost of Shipping. If we send your purchases in a Flat Rate USPS Box for $6 your handling will be $3. If it ships UPS for $20 then handling will be $10. Shipping will include additional insurance if needed to equal the purchase price of the items contained in shipment.
**NOTE: Bids will be placed in the order that they are received. If 2 buyers enter a max bid of the same dollar amount, the buyer who entered his/her max FIRST will be the bidder that is in at that price. If you bid a certain amount and see that the bid is indeed that amount, but you are not the 'Winning Bidder', that means that someone else had a max bid of that amount and so their bid was placed into the system ahead of yours. The best way to know if you are out is to check your email as you should get an email every time you are outbid.
