- Postage costs must also be paid by bank transfer.

Shipping costs:
We offer a shipping service for your lot. This service includes file management and collection of lots; bespoke packaging (provision of lot packaging and cardboard boxes + labour – see rates in our Terms and Conditions) and dispatch via our partner carrier.
This is a service we offer; you may also send us your own packaging and prepaid shipping label.
Alternatively, you can simply send us your prepaid shipping label, and we will only charge for order preparation and packaging/box costs (prices in our Terms and Conditions).
Collection of lots:
Purchases may only be collected once payment has been made, including all fees and taxes, upon which a payment receipt will be issued by the accounts department of BALSAN ENCHERES. Only this duly paid document will allow the collection of items. Please be aware of bank transfer processing times; if you wish to collect your lot quickly, please use an instant transfer.
You can collect your lot from Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm and 5.00 pm, WITHOUT an appointment. You can therefore come directly to collect your lot with your paid receipt without an appointment and without notifying us, during our opening days indicated above, excluding public holidays. You can also make an appointment to avoid a long wait on site.
